All below is written by Thomas Dunker
Yeah, "sound consistent independent of signal level" is a very precise way to sum up my whole speaker philosophy. Anything that is assumed to be constant, but which actually changes with signal dynamics is what ...

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] first, basshorns... the basshorns that I posted here some years back are my straight ~50Hz horns (my memory is fading)... they are 8' long... then rear chamber.. mouth ~ 3' x 4'... throat ~8" x 8"... rear chambers of va...

Terry,
I did found that PP amps were good to drive BAD compression drivers (with ceramic magnets). The irony was that the better amps to drive the ceramic magnet were not just the PP amps but the solid state PP amps. Do not ask me why – I do not kno...

Hi, Tim. This is difficult question, and it is difficult in it’s abstractivnes. I really do not understand, or understand but refuse to acknowledge the validity of the word “respectable”. How valid for YOU would be a “reputation” of this driver if it...

Romy wroteStill, somebody Armen reports that Cessaro with $2K TAD driver were compatible to Silbaone… so what the purpose to pay more than $700 for a pair of JBL 2440?
I must say sound of Cessaro was far more sofisticated than Si...

Yes, the bottom response is about right. There is a thing about the bottom response, I might be a bit in unchartered territory as I do not know how properly calibrated your measurement devise and many other conditions that might affect the measur...

I would like to pass some summarizing observations and some generalizations regarding the entire “Water Drop” project.
THE IDEA
The idea of trying to find a tweeter to compliment Macondo was a good idea. Many of you know that I was proudly declari...

[quote user="horny"] Those used to vintage gear might find it laughable…[/quote]
Well, do not be under impression that vintage drivers are an assurance of some kind of quality. They are not; in fact in most of the case the opposite is true. I always...

Yep, Stefano, it looks like we do have similar views about the subjects we touched. Let go back to exploring one of the terra incognito of compression driver – the sound of Goto.
I would insist is that to judge sound of Goto driver from the installa...

…and I do not imagine the Santa is bringing me a new pair of horns at New Year. For whatever reasons people think that there are such things as “better horns”. Also, many horn people dream about “bigger horns”. Ironically I personally do not suffer f...

Keith,
Thanks, I do not see any needs to discuss anything with Ralph – I am not a prospective buyer and what I had interest personally about Gammas I have already understood. It does look like those Cessaros people took horns eventually seriou...

It is complicated. Any tweeter is different and the RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter is more different then others. Almond any other tweeters that I heard this tweeter has something absolutely unique- it has no annoying upper MF nose. When I asked Alex to...

It is interesting… complaining about the fact that the “promising to be claver” Cessaro Horn using the TAD drivers (still it is not completely known as they said that that MD driver cost €4000) I asked myself: what else they might use? Really, ...

Looking at the variety of exponential, parabolic, conical, tractrix, hyperbolic and whatever ales horn profiles out there I was thinking that we probably incorrectly approach the entire subject of horn profile analyses.
We listen the horns and we fe...

[quote user="be"] The best driver I have heard is the TAD 4003.
It does not use the secondary resonance of the suspension, as described by Duke LeJeune above for the TAD 4001-4002, to extend the response towards 20 kHz, but has a natural roll off fr...

[quote user="twogoodears"] BTW: while in Berlin, last May, Frank Schroeder performed an interesting, provoking "blind-test" using '50s and '60 Telefunken's midrange loudspeakers (22 cm diam.), comparing FC vs. PM:almost everyone in the listening ...

[quote user="floobydust"] The main component that limits low-frequency response in any SET is the OPT. For these initial designs, I used the smallest Hashimoto SE OPTs... their H-203S for the 2A3 and their H-507S for the 45 which are rated at 7...

user="Murataltuev"] Romy, I think that your problem is that you stuck
in past with your existing experience. You never tried latest JBLs. You never
tried LeCleach profiles [/quote]

Thanks, Romy, for your generous reply.
I won't try to address everything about everything, but let me bore
you with a mini-history of what is going on with my playback so you
will understand where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to ...
