KOTriode. One of the reasons why I advance the idea of using 6C33C for sub 100Hz bass is because it is very easy to say objectively if it is enough power. You see, when you use 845 for instance the tube might jumps in and out if A2. Since it is D...

I twice had the opportunity to listen to a Wilson: The Puppy 8 combined with a Lamm power amp and the latest Maxx with Soulution electronics. Both times my impression was that there is some characteristic shining or radiance probably induced by the b...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I'm curious about how you set up your horns in the room.From photos it looks as if they are fairly close together, compared to the wide setting you suggested I try, while our room dimensions are fairly similar?When I started push...

Zanon, you seem to feel that RTA has some intrinsic value. In any case, in terms of results, I think you already have a sense of where this is going. If you are bound to use your present speakers in a room you yourself deem too large for them, t...

The May 2018 Stereophile helps to roll out Wilson's new, "smaller" Yvette speaker. Though I did not get much from the review I was interested to read that Wilson (finally) intends this "smaller" speaker to be qualitatively like its big speakers, and ...

That sure looks like an interesting configuration for a change , all right, but are those "ceramic" drivers, or what? Does anyone know?What's with all the "space age" materials these days? I mean, are people actually listening or do they just "...

[quote user="mark"] just would like to clarify the cost of this ribbon,xfmr. etc.the figure of 2600us$ is that for tweeter pr. only or complete with the xfmr.?i got a quote of 4000 euros +300 ship in jan./08.has the material cost risen dramaticly sin...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"]My system is 4-way using 2x DEQX HDP-4 processors; 2xNuForce mono amps on the midrange horns and 6 x channels of a 7-channel NuForce HT amp that uses the same circuit. The DEQX processors function as crossovers, speaker 'cor...

let me write up an article about the importance of super precise tweeters alignment and at next Danvers audio show this thing will be flying from your hands for $399.[/quote]http://www.ascendo.de...

[quote user="manisandher"]I received my copy of 'The Karp Segall Experiment' today. The music's not really 'my cup of tea', but it's OK as background music for me. Using RME's Digicheck, I'm measuring -50dB noise at 81KHz... [/quote]What was the RMS ...

[quote user="Jordi"] The secret is the K-Horns with ALL the mods!!! If you heard it you wouild know what I'm talking about! . [/quote]
The K-Horns were Klipsch’s attempt to do something more or less reasonably sounding. They were doing K-Horns...

judging from your draving, they appear to be bipolar operating tweeters and not dipole. While I generally do favour the horn approach above all the others,sometimes I do wish the whole reproduction would be less "dry" and bringing in some wide beamin...

Brian,Microphone diaphrams, headphone diaphrams ,dome tweeters, all have to have the pattern applied with a technical pen i.e. Kohinoor or Mars. These are becomming a little difficult to find in all towns. A 50% mixture of Poly S and water should be ...

These were my first high end speakers purchased in 1980. They have been sitting in my basement for about 30 years as I've gone through everything from VMPS super tower 2 ar's to B&W 800 to my self built Edgar horns, which I’ve been using for abou...

I'm looking to internally wire to binding posts on exterior of box from woofers in a sealed cabinet. I was wondering what are some options for wiring that will not be a hinder. Would a heavy gauge copper 6nine's copper be sufficient? I'm using so...

Petar, I might have just been tired, but I thought I saw a pair of "likely" 3.5" paper tweeters, and I played the hypnotized consumer and bought them, to start with my adaption education. It might be a while before they get here, but in the meantime...

Did you just answer your own question? Use the B2, then. Plenty of nice, small tube amps for tweeters, if that's what you want. I could list tube and SS amps, but I hate doing that "in public", not to mention, as you just pointed out, you only need t...

"...what would you do with this driver." Please don't anyone take my silly joke at face value. It's fine for what it is (they sell to radio stations & the like) -- bad for what it isn't (indespensable atop yr spkr; improvement for yr cell ph...

[quote user="anthony"]There should be an 111dB tap on the Lazy Ribbon, but perhaps you have tried that already. Other than that, perhaps talk to RAAL to see if they can improve the sensitivity a little more with a transformer change (or something el...

hi romymy goal is to design a hornspeaker with drivers, that are today commercially available, s2's are not.tomorrow i get my bms horns from bd-design, then i can say something abought them. as they are coax, with tweeters, i did not design a t...

I have a really barbaric suggestion... of course. I can set you up with 8 lLinaeum, soft, live horn, dipole tweeters. Stacking 4 per side should see you at 103 dB sensitivity and 8 ohms of impedence. You can stack them without interference diffr...

Thanks, Greg
[quote user="Greg B"] Cap and L-pad resistor quality is critical even in the cheaper models. [/quote]
I do not use any L-pad resistors with tweeters. If you need to reduce the tweeter output I drop the caps and move the tweeter up at t...

Audio people love to argue which tweeter is better. Living aside some semi-objective technical aspects I would suggest that the debate about the advantages of one tweeter over another without referents to anything else is completely bogus. A tweeter ...

Josh, I also loved my old RTR HF 'stat arrays, doubled over old Peerless tweeters, but I sold all that Fulton stuff to Dr. Dynaco several years ago. My idea for the 'stats and the ribbons is that I do not depend on them for tone but use them only ab...

[quote user="el`Ol"] I stopped believing in phase as the most important cause of coherence when I listened to the Lithophon Miracle and believed to hear exactly the opposite of what I am used to with cone/dome speakers: woofers that dynamically don't...

Now first of all our ears were designed to hear up to 20,000 cycles there-abouts if not perhaps more, a scientific fact I can't really argue against. So I find it difficult to accept a proposition that we don't enjoy listening to sounds from 2,...

Or is the answer very simple, in terms that some people just like tweeters with metal character? I have not heard the Supravox, but it has the usual breakup above the audio band, even a bit stronger than other metal domes, CSD from 4kHz up is not slo...

[quote user="enjoy_the_music"] Well I am fairly new to active speakers. I've been in contact with Merlin and Guy in the UK about these type of speakers and their experiences. I'm just taking it all in and then going forward making a few mistakes and ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Drdna, generally I would not agree that your assessment of the EdgarHorns is correct. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in them that would prevent them to "disappear" in the room. [/quote]Well, this is good news.&nbs...
