I did not feel that it would be easy but I just found looks like a good configuration for ULF section. A second order 35Hz, yes, surprisingly second order. The key in this configuration is not to be selfish and to drive the ULF too hot. This might be...

Since I change the transformer I picked some harmonics and now I feel that my midbass has a bit too long roll off. I moved the second low pass filter close to the first filter. After a very careful listening and some thinking I ended up with setting ...

[quote user="haralanov"]Are there any signs for worsened transient response of your midbass channel due to the sharp electrical filtering?[/quote]Nothing that I note. The transient response of your midbass channel is a bit tricky thing as the way how...

Stuck,
You can NOT stack coils in series to get a “distributed half order crossover”. To make it “distributed” the first and the second first-order filters should be decupled. For instance the first filter might be at line-level and the second at th...

Despite the fact the I lost the quality of the lower knee of my midbass horn (I guess the primary resonance went all the way down) I keep trying to catch the right termination of midbass low pass filter. I bought those expensive 20H coils and added ...

[quote user="noviygera"] I want to listen to both 12db/octave and 6db/octave passive versions and see which one sounds better. And keep the one that sounds better. [/quote]Herman,
It depends what you would like to listen. If you would like to ...

[quote user="N-set"] Romy, would you elaborate on that more? Looking at his formulas it looks like higher mass gives lower resonance point, which is I guess desireable?[/quote]
Yes, the resonance point go lover but also the ratio of contributi...

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...

Hi! I wanted actually to get rid of the behringer. Because I have only 1 super high quality tube amplifier and it was difficult to marry different amps with the speakers. And you cant use a high quality dac with the active crossover. I ll right now ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] There were some educational for myself observations made, in some way saying something about this specific DHT, in some way saying something about Melquiades’ single stage version and the Melquiades’ full-range two-stages ...

[quote user="Paul S"] The "calm HF" effect is something I have long sought but seldom experienced from repro, and I have blamed the amps as much as the ribbons. Mere HF extension is not enough. Hard to say whether the amp or the rib...

... and nothing as a result. After testing, measuring and the most important listening the new Water Drop integrated with the rest Macondo I summized that I would need to go still for a second order on my tweeter. It is kind of not what I hoped. I di...

I pretty much know what I need to do – I need to go for shaper filter built in my power amp. The second order I have no is too impactful to midbass, so I need to do for 2th order or perhaps for 4th and try to integrate it. Whatever it will be I thin...

[quote user="anthony"]Romy, I
appreciate that this is an old thread now and that you may not remember
everything from your time developing these amplifiers, but I have a (hopefully)
simple question about the upperbass crossover in the schematic ab...
|
|
OK, it took for a while but at this point I have nailed down all design aspects of the new 6-channels Super Milq, and particularly its input stage. I have listen and evaluated all solutions that will be implemented in there; selected, appraised and o...

what a great idea-- i never really thought of a sort of 'low pass bypass' inductor of sorts?! i'd always assumed that inductance was similar to capacitance in that regard-- the more you add, the more you get-- but hadn't thought about the...
|
|
Well, I never felt that for prototyping I need more then one-channels crossover as by use of the poor sounding prototyping crossovers I never look at the system in it’s entirely but rather for the “technical listing” of just two channels that I...

Romy,That upper rolloff in the OPT comes from a number of distributed capacitances and leakage inductances in the transformer - it will not be a simple filter. Lots of transformers have weird resonances up at the top of their range. In fact, some mak...

Hi Josh! That was basically my idea too. Although I read that the 12 inch driver loses directivity after 750. But I played around with Behringer dcx 2496, and I had the impression, that 1200 second order was the best sounding. The main reason for cro...

[quote user="TonyB"]I disagree. I think it depends on the turntable. If I did not try it on MY turntable, I would not believe. My Verdier uses a DC motor "sloppy" mounted on grommets. The drive is linen thread. I have tried silk, different threads, 1...

A second opinion needed.
Interesting, I recently found a very-very well performing setting for my EV T350 tweeter. I changed the source for HF channel form amplifier’s output to the MF channel and now I source the HF channel AFTER the MF high-pass f...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The HF Range “F” channel: The 6E6P-DR at 30mA connected at tetrode. The filter is second order with Sowter 9858 Pultec MEQ-5 EQ Inductor 420/277/145/108/61/34 mH) and variable air cap. The variable inductance and capacitan...

Now I have been listening the different crossovers trying to shape the new Macondo general balance. This is so fascinating ceremony that I do have a lot of fan. The things doing alone very well. I boosted upper bass and it worked now very-very well....

I guess I have found a more or less usable new configuration for ULF channel. It is 28Hz, second order, with slightly raised ULF on the transition slope. It sounds quite good. Well, I am not supposed to say this. It doesn’t sound good but it sound pr...

It is over 2 weeks as the crossover parts for my Altec 21S modification are sitting in my house. It would be 30 min fix but I still did not do it – juts lazy. I want for how to keep the Altec low path crossover but I the crossover for MF I would like...

IMO, any sonic benefits from running Lowthers stock are totally swamped by excessive, ragged response that is generally (but not steadily...) rising - a lot - toward HF. There have been many ideas for "taming the Lowther", and here is another one, b...

Hi Anthony. No miracles. Round shapes happen to be far more rigid than flat. That will also increase the pressure on the flat opposite plate, which has to be of quadruple stability. You can easily eliminate this by the so called impulse compensation ...
|

First off, I forgot to mention an interesting observation: Before running the sweeps (previous post), since the drivers in the upper-bass horns are new, I decided to verify/optimize rear chamber volume (they are easily adjustable)... I wasn't expecti...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I think it might be very interesting to introduce the high-pass filtration for tapped horn and to see how it behaves. It is not only about thermal overload and restriction of excursion. The unloading of none-used bass gener...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I have to admit that although the Macondo “Water Drop Tweeter” sounds very good but I do not have that “shocking sound” that I got from the “Water Drop” during my initial introduction to it. I kind of always felt it and I ...
