When companies begin to produce crap (most of the today arms) then it is the job of various marketing whores, like Michael Fremer and the similar, to invert a theory that would justify the poor sonic results or to explain to the deaf audio-cretins ou...

Generally it is very uncharacteristic subject in audio: the destiny of audio reproduction. Destiny might be only with something that has its own lifespan. Audio reproduction is in a way an imitation and therefore should hot have own destiny because i...

Here are a number of threads at my site where the concept of “Rightsizing from extreme systems....” is pitched. I looked into the “second” systems not because I was interested in “different sound”. In fact I insist that multiple playbacks in the same...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Assuming one will not get anything under 50Hz (usable) from a 40Hz horn, I interpret the mission of lower-bass channels in the context of a horn system as follows….[/quote]
Hm, this is a bit tricky with bass. A pla...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"]I will be laughing my ass off when I visit the GoodSoundClub website and read about a certain Cat who was finally motivated into tuning the ports on the Mini's specifically to "adjust" Macondo's sound! I am reminded of...

Yes, you are correct. The UHF are pro Canadian people and they do have the Canadian bias. Interestingly that the Canadian audio generally has very Canadian bias as well. It is very unfortunate as I always thought that bias should be for better Sound ...

I have no idea who he is but I thought that this might be interesting in context of this thread. It is a Hong Kong guy who replaces his looks like Avalon Eidolon with some kind of 3-way Cessaro. It looks as he uses 833 amp. I do not know a lot about ...

[quote user="hagtech"]Perhaps the book falls under the "theory of irrelativity". I thought maybe there could be a useful tidbit inside. One good thing about blogs - people may not agree with you - but at least you can safely post an opini...

A Netherlands company that makes loudspeaker of the color of lesbian solidarity announced their flagman model: Euphrosyne.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Regarding the Mid-Bass : If these guys are using the main block as a Mid-Bass horn (as Romy's illustration suggests), then the story is getting interesting, and the plot is definitely thickening... It would however seem i...

I would like to point out something that is going on here that I found truly remarkable.
For advanced people ho play with horns there is no second opinion that the vertical array, the Macondo/Cressaro-Gamma type of architecture, is THE ONLY one tha...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I do not know what fantasies Tom Martin and Robert Harley had but it looks to me that Magico Ultimate II is very much the same as Magico Ultimate I, the prefix II mean a new round of marketing BS… Here are the picture...

[quote user="msaudio"]Your Typical Acoustical Suspension-type Loudspeaker enclosure witch has less then 90 db at 1 watt does not belong with a horn system that starts at 110db at 1 watt, even when you ad more then 1 driver, it is still way to far...

[quote user="Ronnie"] I don't know any industry wolves unfortunately(?), but more new -01 drivers have appeared at half the price. I think I'll go ahead and make the speakers full range in time for my upcoming 30-years-on-earth-celebration. :-) [/quo...

I am usually not a big fun of somebody refer to eBay Items and I myself do it very seldom. Still, here I am as I think it is an interesting deal for someone. There is a guy out there that is damping a few of Aura RS-8.1 bass modules.

After a few years I have again pair of Lamm ML2 in my room and I decide to take advantage and render my experience with this amp into a format of my today’s understanding. I know ML2 quiet we and used it with a number of loads. Over the time I develo...

[quote user="dazzdax"] what is your experience with passive transformer based preamps? Is this the ultimate way to get a perfect variable gain? Or do you prefer to use an active preamp?[/quote]Chris,

What would be most interesting would be to capitalize on the possiblity you have to make use of the basement volume as an enclosure for the lower-bass channels. This wold however, almost certainly introduce floor vibrations requring that you find...

Stefano Bertoncello's posted at his blog a comment about Tony’s playback. I do not know him; I guess he is an Italian fellow or somewhere near Italy.

You know, it surprises me how much less fan to listen my playback without ULF. Nope, the playback does not sound bad from audio perspective without ULF but it for sure a bit different experience. From a certain perspective to be in a room with U...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Tax,
do not go over yourself with “building paranoia”, looking for drivers, horns, boxes and etc. If you are looking for 80Hz to 200Hz range (you will need higher upper knee for AG Dou) then you do not need a bass d...

Again, I do not agree with all notion of Rubber sound that Haralanov seeded. I can not speak what was in the situation that “be” described and 400Hz crossover. I do have the 8” version of 25W driver (I think it is 21W) and my feeling that it sou...
