"whatever that means" is that most rooms at a trade show are not good. You know this Rommy, I've seen you write it in past posts. I like that Silbatone was trying to demonstrate to the "Wilson Audio" crowd that vintage horns can surpass the latest mu...

[quote user="manisandher"] For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. [/quote]I very much applaud to the desire to have speakers that do ...

Zagaja, posted an interesting document in the thread “Who builds horns?” It looks like Polish Autotech Company stated to organize their horn in some kind of complete systems. That is already something, a few comment I would like to pass,
The l...

[quote user="Rewind"] I kind of got stuck in selecting an upper midrange driver, above 2kHz. If a driver is going to screech in your ears it is going to be in these frequencies. I was never really satisfied with the range of 1" compression driver...

Tonight I finished two
horns at once. One was a shortened Goto S-150 horn that now has a
Fane S 8M, without back chamber so far. Dimensions are now 1.1m deep, 11cm throat, 75cm mouth. It is replacing the Avantgarde
Trio midbass horn r...

Hello Romy, thank you for the answers. Your horns have a round mouth, but their profile is not spherical. That is the profile of the Avantgarde Horns you formely had - apparentyl you have anayzed them intensively, could you elaborate what problems yo...

[quote user="vuki"]I was also in Munich this year. Cessaro had one of the best sounding systems at the Show, but I thought I could hear some droning bass from BLH. Of course it could also be the room, but somehow I doubt it - I have heard few (some e...

truth is i took a risk.i bought the s2s on ebay,and have never heard them.i was motivated to experiment and explore the core of the mac/melq system.i have owned many horns and heard many more. one case in point;avantgarde duo,i have heard this speake...

[quote user="Antonio J"] INTEGRATION that's the clue and that's what I always feel lacks in my room, I mean extreme integration, real integration, the feeling that the recorded bass sound has its own boundaries, not my room's. [/quote]

I've been at Munich High End Show, too.Listened to the Cessaro Horn, too, and last year- 2008- I was in that room for longer time...But honestly, based on the money you had to pay for the whole System (Raven, TW electronics, last year it was an expen...

For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. Why did I embark on this quest? Well although I’m quite happy with my headphones, I miss being...

Thank you JD for all the information. It was most helpfull. I will get the amps in the original crates, the instructions manual anf a few sets replacement tubes. Do you know the physical size of the fuses?. Seems like I have to buy some. I have alrea...

[quote user="coops"]Romy are there any good commercially available horns that sre any good? What about AvantGarde I heard their Trio's recently, how far away are there from being good/ thanks Keith.[/quote] Keith, please do not take it personally. Yo...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I remember a picture of an enormous living room with large glass windows behind avantgarde trios, bookshelves running floor to ceiling on the sides. ….[/quote]I was in that listening room in 2000. At that time the owner di...

Coops,there were more than a hundred rooms at that show (including the cabins of the small manufacturers in the ground floor) and I had no other chance than giving many of them just seconds, so I only stayed longer when I liked the sound after these ...

This is one of my favorite topics. Not from a technical aspect, but as an ultimate way of life question. I spend an enormous amount of time listening to music, which means my family basically lives in the music room. In our house, however, the musi...

Actually, you are the only know to me person who understood my “misuse” of word “Tractrix”. The Altec metal horns are a nightmare and that is one of the reasons I can’t even remotely approach any default Altec installation. I addressed it in here: h...

Hello to all, After following the comments of Romy for some time (have learned a lot, thank you), I would like to ask a question on this subject.This circuit is built with resistors, diodes and capacitors. Could someone elaborate how it can produce a...

[quote user="coops"]I would never presume to make such a claim, regarding active bass,I have heard quite a few systems now where the ( active )bass is very disjointed, Avantgardes for example, and the music just does not flow, but I will discuss your...

just thought i would wet the appetite for the show; the new N.A. distributor for Avantgarde will be determined to make their first show a good one,i believe the principals from germany might also be on hand.i know they have been steadily(trying) impr...

Last Saturday BSO under Finnish conductor Susanna Mälkki played a new work - Unsuk Chin’s cello concerto, Alban Gerhardt played the lead. I do not know, folks. If this is the direction where “music went” then let call it a successful concerto. Howev...

Coincident was not there, unfortunately. I, too heard good things about them but never had a chance to listen to them. Maybe I should try David Lewis - as much as I don't like going there, he has some good stuff once in a while.I liked the show. It w...

I know Dave for quite some time by now. He does not seem to get any better, but I have got used to him and pretty much disregard his behavior and only pay attention to why I came there. :)Avantgarde speakers sound good to my taste in general. I don't...

Is it only me or there is something more in it? I generally like headphones but can’t stand some music in them. For instance Stravinsky is absolutely boring in headphones and his music much opens islet up while paying it without headphones. Is it has...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi, I didn't particularly set out to 'demean' Avantgarde, they have a good business model, I don't believe it is a secret that they modify conventional drivers, I simply mean that the constituent parts of a Cessaro horn ...

I had the opportunity to hear the magico ultimo, in san Francisco. After i heard it, i read the article in absolute sound, and i must say that the article describes accurately the sound of this system. The room is relatively small for that big ...

Romy Hi, there is nothing to say really, I was trudging up the usual hifi route, ( B&W 800's usual high powered solid state amps ) I thought a turntable upgrade would be the last step! Went to GT Audio to listen to Thomas Woschnicks tur...

Angelo, sorry I misunderstood you as I’m under impression that you look forward to come up with some kind of commercial product. (You implied it before). I hope you are an adult who has basic understanding of nature of products production? I’m not tr...
