[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Did you try to buy a cartridge, recognize that you do not like something and to try to return it back? Good luck with it.I think in today would we lost the battle for cartridge QA and we need to knowledge that the industry ...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Do you think it would be possible to find the proper location by using a smaller pair of speakers, and then substitute in the big horns? At least to get to a close position?[/quote]Absolutely not! The “points” or even the “zon...

What's the response you have from your upper base horn? That would say a lot about how active that spot is for mid base. Is this location in your room is not good that it is very unfortunately but nothing can be done. Of course in your case, in c...

[quote user="oxric"]I would have been tempted to maximise space above for use by 4 midbass 15" drivers, 2 per side maybe in separate enclosures you can can move each module independently of the other.But probably too late for that as you have ordered...

The kids are growing up and twins sleep fine and walk already.
So, the Bessnow’s household is calming down, a live-in nanny for sure helps…
With more time at my heads I am trying to finalize my playback in our new home.
I spent a few hours today t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Brain, C’mon, I was kidding about the “Electron Intensification Interface”! [/quote]
Ah, really? So you were just winding us up! Now there's a surprise ;o)

Aging cigars changes the playing field entirely, and I couldn't agree with you more about their subtle complexities. There's a bar I frequent in London - The Lanesborough Library Bar - where they have a humidor stocked with aged cigars, some pre-war,...

Pretend

"push". This creates let call front spring. If a driver has a front

Anthony, it is not the subject of this thread but I am replying you since you raised a question. Is there are a lot of conspiracies about Tannoy vintage crossovers. They did many different versions and all of them well known. If somebody need I can h...

In one idealistic configuration I envisaged for myself, for a situation where cost and practicality no object, the basic room shape was pentagonal, with the facets ot the pentagon curved inwards to eliminate parallel reflecting surfaces and simultane...

Yes, the "Injection Channel" consists of a pair of Tannoy Reds, used as direct radiators, in sealed enclosures. I would not say that they overly specifically optimized. I did many optimizations equalizing them, filtering them but I never was able to ...

[quote user="cv"]Funny, I was just thinking about battery powering of amps... I know you have identified that the problem is more with the sources, but it would be interesting and quite feasible with the Melquiades and other components... wouldn...

[quote user="el`Ol"]A $$$ solution for a bass array that comes into my mind are the sandwich cone drivers from Accuton.Monstrous neodymium magnet, underhung voice coil (for low flux modulation).Very low Fs.Relatively low QMS for use in sealed enclosu...

[quote user="hagtech"]Ah, think of it this way. Imagine floating the input to your ET step-ups. Don't ground it. Let the primary and phono cartridge float. This is a similar situation but far far more sensitive. It's a m...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] There may be better drivers out there, but with my level of experience, I doubt my abilities to recognize them. So though it may resemble laziness on my part (remember, this is the same person that will be constructing a ...

Romy,Regarding your first illustration:Some time ago I intentionally made two different boxes for my ScanSpeak drivers to see what will happen, because I do not believe in theories and trust only to my ears. The boxes had exactly the same internal vo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This is all because you are a primitive person with very simplistic and amateurish understanding of many things. You need to learn from much more sophisticated people, of cause I mean myself. Take a look: I do not run like...

[quote user="Markus"]Re-reading, I realise you stated your preference for a sealed bass array only in relation to Dreyer's bass horn, not to bass horns in general.[/quote]Markus, it is not only about the Dreyer's bass horn. It is about lower bass...

My project to add 3 one-stages channels to Super Melquiades look like progressing (it means I will have the new 15,5:1output transformers very soon) and in context of upcoming changes and, after long consideration and some tests, I desire...

Thanks, LBJ, I ma slowly getting into where I would to be in term of understanding, at least it is what I think I do. You are perfectly identified what I am shooting for: "its not a musical instrument but it won't piss me off", it is exactly what I w...

Alex, I do not remember already the volume of those boxes, what is the deference? Thos drivers have an average sealed Qs and Fs I believe 19Hz, you might easy to circulate any volume you want. I slightly overdamped them, as usually, form where they s...

Well, it took almost two month and much more money then I thought but I was eventually able to get very decent sound out of monitors. The SL600 sitting on my “fundamental channel’s” tripods did not do well as I told before and I was forced to s...

Thanks for sharing these images Serge.I would like to learn more about the Audiotekne bass solution.What size driver is that, is it a sealed cabinet, what is the baffle,and what frequency range is demanded from this box?Ho...

The Western Electric L-9 in Munich was/is an infinite baffle design. The 754B woofers are in a sealed enclosure with a front horn. There is no possibility of cancellation between front wave and back wave of speaker, so I wouldn't call it an "open baf...

C, I very much agree about the benefits of spherical needle, partially on the older records and out of condition records, and this is one of the reasons why people have multiple arms on TTs. Yes, in many cases the spherical stylus “tracks better” 9mo...

[quote user="jp"] I assume a simple hole sealed with silicone would not suffice given the amount of pressure build up in the rear chamber? [/quote]
The pressure that builds up in right rear chamber is truly enormous.

Miab, I have very limited knowledge in construction techniques, moist prevention and how all of it might affect a big horn. My very uneducated production suggests me that it is not truly a bid deal, but of cause if go this route then I certainly ...
