Hi Greg,linkSearch the site and you'll find that Ulf has created a upper bass horn using the aforementioned TAD 1201's.I also own a pair still in boxes waiting for the weather to warm up enough for me to start some enclosures and horns for.My origina...

Be, there might be any number of reasons for listening to speakers more or less on or off axis, but I think in the case of drivers firing early across the axes of other drivers there are identifiable issues that can be heard as "problems" by some lis...

[quote user="drdna"] However, the concept of the point source is absolutely valid. The audio reproduction should follow the transduction from the microphone, which is point source. We have to "play by the rules we make." [/quote] Well, let look into ...

It is my understanding that the only reason to make a ribbon bigger is to get it to go lower in frequency. I don't know how Arum Cantus configures their G1, and I have not heard it so I cannot say if it is their "best" pure HF driver rather tha...

But not everyone agree with you there, Romy.
If I could make the directivity reasonable constant through the frequency range....all the way down....
An array of tweeters is the last thing I would do....
cheers ;)...

[quote user="anthony"]Personally, I am
probably going to do a line array like Romy's using the same drivers but twice
as many...so eight each side. I have the drivers. This
configuration should give somewhere around 109dB @ 20Hz from 15w in room...

Interesting, Very interesting.
I might make some observations now, claming this recent modification as a success. The minor gain of sensitively certainly did not heart but the major advantage was defiantly the “activation of ceiling”. It is hard to ...

Ok, Scot and I spent another day to mingle with my new
listening room. We hang some acoustic treatment and brutally covers large windows
with blankets. The room become more pleasurable. I have placed an order for extra
pair of drivers into my bass...

Well, it might sound as a heresy to you, but I personally
consider the impedance curve is a bit irrelevant in this application. In this application
you need to care only about only 2 things: if you have enough power in you LF
DSET to drive your li...

If you are planning to build a dedicated LF SET then the line level crossing vs. passive speaker level crossovers is not the same devil. With a...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Not this year they won't be, that show is in September.Romy, Kevin at Living Voice has been using 'your' S2 since 1992. I understand these speakers have the first of the new Mike Harvey S2's fitted.I'm not sure what the th...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...

After thinking about this for a while, I have had a thought that should be relatively easy for anyone motivated to explore and I would be interested to see what others on this forum observe from such experiments.Fundamentally I think the injection ch...

Really, it is kind of strange that there is no good Chinese (at least know to me) recording companies. There is a huge number of good or sometimes even near-great Chinese musicians around the world and there is a nice positive momentum on academic mu...

[quote user="slowmotion"]I think I see where you are going , Richard, with me it's the other way round. If I connect with the music I get exited, and for me personally I work towards a system that connects me to the music and the performers more. All...

And as one of the other perpetrators...The nature of this kind of thing is compromise. The owner of the bass horn system wanted to run them together, for the enlarged horn mouth, and so we did - there was never going to be enough time to play about ...

I looked what is around and I did not like whatever I see. The industry music server machines are all crap and mostly made to copy CDs and to play them from semi-intelligent applications. My requirements are very specific and not of the existing mac...

I believe that the Arum Cantus is typical of most ribbons in mirroring one of the principal failings of MC cartridges, a rising top end (over 20k), although I have not actually heard this - at all - with my own small Arum Cantus, and I just go n...

[quote user="cv"] Don't be pissed about me keeping you in the dark regarding the ribbons; your comments elsewhere on the Nolas and ribbons in general had me loathe to make any recommendations. I think we may have very different tastes in terms of tre...

Well, I did some research and consulted with my network people and it looks like it might be unfortunately-expensive project. Still it will not be what I want.
They recommended me to go for what they call NAS (network attach storage). It tuned out t...

2011 will be a busy audio year for me. I will have a nice large space 28 feet x 20 feet x 11 feet which I am free to modify for audio. The walls are 150 years old irregular stone the floor is cement and the ceiling is composed of structural...

[quote user="oxric"] I have always felt that if I went for a vertical array of 10" drivers, I would keep the drivers closer spaced than you do in your 'Dunlavy' made enclosure. Based on the 110" height of the tower, I see that you would be doing this...

Sure I was not able to do not listen it as the pain dried. It was incredible ad-hog sting of the drivers. All woofers are series. I know, I know but they are 4R each and I wanted to drive it with 2A3 just for the first test. The post is tuned - I hav...
