[quote user="Paul S"]Audio Note: This room had THE least problematic sound at the show, better tone and more Music. System was not stressed by classical music as they played it, with a “perspective” that +/- “compensated” for the relative “lack of ...

For my ears, the piano is rich in harmonics that change with playing volume BUT the only way to get a louder note is with the hammer striking the strings more powerfully which always is coupled to a louder "articulation". Violins and wind instruments...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

Hello all,Some time ago, I bought a pair of very early production ML2s for an ongoing horn project (see "Note at end").Rather than just let the ML2s sit and wait for the horns to get done, I of course tried them out with my "normal" 89db/watt@1m spea...

I'm new to the site and have had an interest in horn speakers since owning my first SET amplifier over 10 years ago. I've heard about a dozen horn speakers at shows and private demonstrations but have never heard any that I could live with. I'm cur...

Well, it is maybe one year from my initial post. I have not pursued the horn route basically because in the past year I have not heard any horn system that sounded like the Olympian. Given the time constraint, I did not want to pursue the DIY route...

In regular off the shelf hi-fi system , be it a total lack of LF in your speakers or the "pinch" of dome tweeters or the midrange mud. Romy like all of us throws money on the problem and he usually chooses well regarded and expensive solutions. The...

The “Enjoy His Music” published the old celebrated by many DIYers Herb Reichert’s article about his 300B amp ideas.

I have a problem with how you are using the english language, Romy. You are using an absolute word (like absolute) to mean something you have invented and it is a relative thing. This for me won't do. I understand more or less what ...

Tuga,I do not know what JMLC had written in that paper – I can’t read French but from looking at the pictures I might only presume that he was trying to prove or disprove the Point Source idea by looking at the souses live sound vs. recorded-and-then...

Tweeters are a real mistery. Some should sound great and they dont, and some never will.I think you do need a lot of dynamics even at 10khz in order to get those sparkling highs that really jump out like the real cymbals and other crashing metals! O...

Romy, Thank you very much for sharing your idea about TAD compression drivers.I like to see your activity here more because actually our audio hobby/enjoyment is not complete without you. I do not have any DIY experience with TAD Compression drivers ...

I like musical tone/harmonics of paper drivers like Audio Note UK and Living Voice UK speakers. I think even In normal (mid performance setup) setup for example mid level AC quality, mid level tube amplifier mid level speaker position you hear good t...

Yes, sounds via YouTube are relative at best, and no one should really judge a speaker that way, although one is usually safe with a summary dismissal where any commercial hi-fi product is concerned. I guess I was amused by the "sales notes" and arb...

[quote user="rowuk"]I would be interested in an explanation why the topology for HF and UHF must be the same. I do not agree with this premise especially in 4 or 5 way systems where primarily the last octave only is demanded. [/quote] Rowuk, nobody w...

But I wouldn't rule out playing rock on a system that offer fidelity to the music in classical repertory. However, back to the reproduction "system".The expression Romy used of "musical content" is interesting. I use the expression musical ...

fair enough- you're absolutely right, i didn't!it's difficult to get that perspective on sonics without legitimate guideposts-- even with a lifetime of playing and recording music, it's difficult to know what the parameters of recorded sound ar...
