What I found captivating in the story of the Living Voice speaker is the he motivation of the Living Voice people to go from their former model to this new one. This itself. is a very interesting to me subject.

I’ve been harassing my horn-maker for quite a while with an idea to go for straight, no-cheating 45-50Hx horn. We discussed it countless times and sometime probably we would go for this, and particularly if I figure out how to resolve the delays prob...

Adrian,
Are any of those new tubes besides the Chinese tubes are single plated? I have bought some very nice 2A3 and 6A3 double plated from 1942 and 1944 and it will give me an ability to see what is going on with vintage tubes.

[quote user="Gregm"]It doesn't seem prudent to look at the speaker without considering the amplifier at all. We would be designing a speaker that would work with a theoretical amp -- but not one that's available.[/quote]

Clark demanded that I, too, concentrate on Bruckner.At first listen I thought it was lacking in that frenzied intelligence of Mahler - too simple. With time I see how idiotic that impression was and my listening to Mahler is almost nil where Bruckne...

Ok, I blamed the tweeters and MF drivers now the turn of the MF horns. The Mid Frequency Horns (I’ll them “MFH” from now and on) are the stinky like pieces of horn installations, and if they are not done correct then they screw up anything big time T...

As we all know, the wide range system with Jensen 18"woofers and Bostwick tweeter came later, at first the 555 an...
