The closest to date I overlapped cones and horns myself was waaaay back in my time with Altec A7s. But I have since then and up to now heard many fine "hand-offs" from cone to horn, and my current project speakers hand-off cone to (very fast/short) h...

Well that was my father. We founded the company together - he invests, I researches, mostly. Bruce Edgar and Sam Saye taught me how to design, and we built our first prototype system in California.Think I need a bit more clarification on the five tim...

Of course we do not defend or support a given topology itself but we only wrestle with the results we are able to get from it. Right? But perhaps there are some basics we can agree on? Basically, if it's Tone you are after, you are swimming upstre...

"Given" correct pitch, timbre, weight and scale, the crux seems to be balancing available color saturation, color range, articulation and "force". Getting this "right" is what I have referred to as the "matrix", and when the "critical mass" is a...

[quote user="MINGSU"]Here is an example on how to use GOTO 505TT driver. Use the GOTO S150 horn and crossover at 200Hz to 1kHz. If you like to use other type of horn and crossover point, you are on your own. Maybe good or maybe not but that is you...

[quote user="audiofilofine"]After several tests of listening and somehow I felt that the best solution is fully closed. The heat is part of the project and not to damage the diaphragm, also the hot air is compressed better than cold and thus distorts...

I have to admit I have no idea and did not experiment with matching horn loaded tweeter to big ,direct radiating "extended range' MF channel. I'm not sure it's doable. I was speculating on the reasons why the owner of Moscow instalation switched from...

There are a few at least theoretical backdraws for the Array in my view.Of course having a lot of different drivers playing at the same frequency implies that all of them should work in perfect unison, if one starts lagging a little bit it will mess...

Romy, Is there a consistent effect from too large/too small and how is it analyzed? Working on a new horn that I had turned by a fellow in Hungary and have made my back chamber so that I can easily manipulate the volume but have no idea of what to e...

The whole notion of the de Charlus’ quest I find to be very interesting. Charlus feels that only use horn topology and compression drivers is able to deliver “superior” audio result, at least it was his experience. I do not feel that horn topolog...

Kerry, from what you have said so far, I am not surprised that you have gone whole-hog digital. I see that yours is an HT system. The first thing anyone here would say is, physically time-align your HF, although I suppose you "could" do that with DEQ...

[quote user="Jorge"]I tend to like drivers with plastic suspension. Radian makes retrofit diaphragms for JBL with plastic suspension, maybe they will help you achieve the tone you are looking for.
Extensions are easy to machine out of aluminum, eve...

Actually the thermal efficiency or inefficiency is not the problem. It is the condensation that occurs when a cold plane meets a warm one. Warm air vapour WILL condense on the colder plane of the attic. what is in between is your wooden horn structur...

I have also a fondness for this design which may well suit your room with the line sunk in your basement. It is interesting that this design makes use of two woofers in push-pull configuration as well as making use of a transmission line. The only tr...

Dominik, in terms of technology advancement, it seems their new driver is better than their other models. But despite this, I’m not sure their transducer engineer knows how to make the drivers to be valuable in terms of sound/tone. I’m saying that n...

Paul S wrote:"typical "stereo" L and R separation is mostly an engineering hodge-podge". I do not disagree with that statement. I do feel the major advantage of stereo is not "stereo", but the separation of parts of the information in the signal ...

Herman, I agree with the root idea about "dissimilar" materials for drivers being a problem with respect to "pitch" as this applies over the audio bandwidth, and here are some more thoughts about this subject.With Robin's explications, it is easy to ...

Anthony: If you can, make sure you have the trinnov salesman set up your unit the first time and don't let him leave until he shows you all of the intricacies. I didn't and it has taken me almost three years to get the best from it. Since you ha...

If to compose oneself, the Reality is a restless, moving awareness that does not stay satisfied. How much is "improvement" and how much is change-for-itself is not so easy to judge at any given time. Horns or direct drivers, we want to create and r...

Sounds like you have your system in your room the way you want it. I am looking for a ULF solution that has some flexibility, something I can use in a different room later without starting over. I've been thinking for some time about DSP for ULF. ...

Your point about relative levels is well taken. Still, the typical concert grand piano, for instance, does about a 27 Hz fundamental, as I recall (and certain pianos go rather lower), and some other instruments are not far behind. If to simply low p...

There are a couple ways to look at it.The project could be taken from the same sort of perspective as Great Plains, id est, simply new manufacture as a replacement for a 'historic' piece of a equipment. If it can sound close enough to the original th...

OK, Romy, that EnABL stuff got my attention!I can't recall all of the bad ideas borne of good research, but this EnABL thing sounds a little fishy, and certainly it sounds too good to be true, as existing in a simple and really useful form. Can...

[quote user="Paul S"] I can report that the G2Si loses the "glycerin" at 10k with the ML2s…. [/quote]
I concur with this finding. Any ribbon tweeter that I heard has "glycerin" tone but it is because the ribbon mostly crossed too low. I would say th...

That just about sums it up, all right. You'd think it would be obvious that cartridges are not a viable subject for DIY/boutique building and/or modding; but, apparently, they are yet approached in this way by a small "underground" army of hopefuls,...

[quote user="cdwitmer"]Dear Robert and Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]

Well, why not go 1st order with those little "woofers"? And I suppose you will be glad that you've isolated the MF, too.Unless you just get lucky, it looks like the MF/HF XO might be dropping. I am not familiar with the 2105, but dependin...
