Hi Romy, Hi Jeffrey
Steve and I have been working on the bass compression driver for quite some time now, about 3 weeks ago we made some design changes that really paid off, as of now I'm convinced that a compression driver is the best way to go for fast, detailed and dynamic bass. The compression ratio needs to be just right, and the horn needs to be right, when these two are working together properly, and the room set up is right, it's the way to go.
Yes we are doing CES this year, like my wife says, "whats the worst that can happen and can you live with it". Well other than dieing in a crash getting there, the worst that can happen is that nothing will work right and we won't be able to make the system sound good, (sort of like the last time you were over Jeffery). So what, at least we tried, beats sitting around everynight watching moronvision and getting stupid on alcohol, like about 90% of our country seems to be doing. What's the best I hope for? I hope Dr. Edgars system and our system work to potential, maybe we can convert a few more people to horns. I realize the established audiofool community will not recognize horns at all, but maybe we can demonstrate to some young engineering types, or young listeners that this is the right way. Anything to steer them away from the mp3 trash they are beginning to accept. Whose going to put Bach or Vivaldy on mp3?, and why bother, the whole performance is lost to the extremely poor playback. Is there a market for our product? I don't know, will we sell anything, maybe. Will we make back the money that we've invested in this project? probably not. Are we doing the right thing? Yep
So Jeffery, where are you? did you work with TC?, Did you learn anything?, You guys have been awful quiet lately.
Rich
