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 ...

Zdravstvui Roman, hi Chris,
I know almost nothing about the relation between sonical effect and
physics, so I will only try to speak about the latter. Take it as you
wish, I can as well delete the post if it just increases the
entropy.

[quote user="morespeakers2"]I thought Romy being very familiar with the S2 and also familiar with the 288 could quickly simply state a few simple observations between the two or just be honest as say he doesn't know, doesn't care, or doesn't remember...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

Still, would like to keep the thread about Melquiades as it is a Milq dedicated forum. If you attention is only S2 driver then move to an appropriate thread about S2 – there are plenty of them at this site.

A few months back a audio guy visited me and after a listening session I asked him if he can report any problems with sound. He reported that he hears a slightly more prolonging decay at upper bass then what he suspect to be. I knew about this effect...

The main "technique" I use in "problem solving" involves a sort of Hegelian turning and re-turning of/to the object of attention (or, my perspective...) to get as many "views" of the object as possible. This sort of reflection has recently broug...

Romy wrote : "If someone discover a 4-5” driver that can have the same Syrupy Sound as the Red 10” then please let me know" I will be trying some older alnico drivers in the Mid-Bass horns (the first pair should arrive in about 2 weeks time). I have ...

fair enough- you're absolutely right, i didn't!it's difficult to get that perspective on sonics without legitimate guideposts-- even with a lifetime of playing and recording music, it's difficult to know what the parameters of recorded sound ar...

[quote user="haralanov"] My driver has not even a single trace of tizzing top end. Tizzines is intrinsic feature of ribbon drivers (including RAAL), not of well designed paper drivers. Actually, the heart of my acoustic system is ultra high perf...

Romy, Some very good points here... if I downloaded the correct schematic from your site for the 6-channel Melq amp (also has the term DSET in the title) then you have created a 6-channel SET amp with built-in crossover points. Your first ...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I put together a hot tube amp channel, and gone is the sound of shattered glass.All three of my receivers were distorting equally horribly.Beware of never-been-serviced vintage solid state, I guess!Anyone know if it is common for...

I know that I ma a wacco, so extend patience while you read it.
I was cleaning my shelves and found a strong alnico magnet that left from my field-coil. Since the electromagnet driver project was over I was about to assemble the driver back and send...

Lately the Vitavox electromagnet project looks like moved to a fruitful direction. Well, I do not know if the direction would be a real fertile but it will be going somewhere instead of talking… that is always fruitful. I have quite good support form...

I gave another run to Vitavox S2 with electromagnet and while I was listening I come across to an interesting observation. I screw the S3 in 330Hz horn and was trying to run it with 500Hz crossover point. It is pretty standard configuration, the way ...

As with all our ventures in life, the measure of our success is in hindsight what would have I have done differently. Although it is fairly early days for me yet, at the moment, if I went back to the drawing board and had to start again, I would ...

Be, I have made a lot of experiments and I confirm that if a permanent magnet (Ticonal, Alnico5, Alnico3SC) is heated up, the sound gets a little softer, but the typical "screamyness" is still there as if the sound comes from a very little zone, stuf...

how the Western Electric L-9 was made but I think it is not sealed

Hello, Pawel.
I never heard nether about Onkyo HM-300MK2 or about
anybody who use it. It looks like it is one of many obscured Japanize drivers,
and they made plenty of those. A simple googling said that it has 2 inches
voice coil, duralumin di...

Folks, This thread caught my attention, because here Romy waxes lyrically about the failings of the Denon Cartridges. Now I only consider ONE Denon worth bothering, the ORIGINAL 103, it is often inaccuratly called 103C. It has a medium compliance (ar...

I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

[quote user="haralanov"] You may not believe me, but the driver start to roll off (very smoothly) after 14kHz and at 20kHz is at -6dB. I intentionally do not use it so high, because I have ultra light weight alnico paper tweeter: http://www.bgau...

There is a speaker maker in Russia, Moscow – Alexander Kniysev who just introduced his own take on “Resonance Oops”. What he does is not my cap of tea and I see a number of issues with his design that I would object but it is not my speaker. Neverthe...

I have not made any measurements on these drivers, I've just heard.
at 100 volts the sound is similar to the original Alnico magnet, at 130 volts instead of the original seems to be more shr...

I think the usage of Romys Injection Channel has misguided you to think it was implemented because of a certian lack of tone or some sterile sound, nothing of the sort, I cannot blame you for not having listened to Romys system, but theo...

[quote user="cdwitmer"]I'm probably revealing my ignorance by even asking this, but I'm curious to know if a field coil ribbon tweeter could be practical. It occurs to me that if one could be made, it would be a lot safer since it wouldn't be a black...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...

Haralanov,
I would not make any assumption about be’s friend who proposed that the heating up magnet describes the major difference between perm and electromagnet. In fact what he proposed I find very stimulating and to a degree might be very ...
