and not very encouraging. The set up was as follows: a Lowther ex4 playing from ~12k down in a big ~100Hz tratrix. A Murata up on top, and a 15" Beyma on the bottom. The Beyma is in an Onken so the results may not be fully indicative of performance i...

[quote user="gordan"]I didn't explain the context of S3 use in my future system. I'm awaiting for a delivery of Beyma TPL-150 which will be tested for upper mid channel, under either Raal Lazy or Fostex T825 tweeters. [/quote]I am not sure that I agr...

It does sound like a shoping list, not my intention, I was mainly trying to address some points 3 mainly:1- You have stated before that the 2440 or 375 is a good sarting reference, so I wanted to keep that comparison point. thats why I went back t...

This is something I have been at for the last few years, I have tried a few drivers, at the moment some of my favorite are the vintage RCA MI 1443, yes filed coil and some funny cone diaphragm, they are used from 500 hz to 5 khz with a Fostex T...

JBL 2441 also seems interesting candidate, perhaps "smoother" than 2440:Duke LeJeune of Audiokinesis recommends them as a "poor man`s TAD"Beyma CP755ND/AL 1.4"http://profesional.beyma.com/ENGLISH/pdf/descarga.php?pdf=CP755NdAL.pdfSome interesting alu...

That is the thing exactly, my upperbass solution has the same output amplitude as the compression drivers I am using, IMHO resistrors are the devil in xovers, they kill all sound. Now the difference between 109 db and 110 db can be overcome with c...

[quote user="Jorge"]I am not using the S2 driver, I have been going the long way testing a bunch of different compression drivers. Right now I am testing the TAD 2001, I can say leaving it full range going all the way up, it develops a certain ...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

[quote user="Rewind"]Hi, I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. [/quote] OK, but it is not how I feel about the service of injection...

[quote user="js"]Thanks for the reply. I'm using a Jabo KH-55 horn for hf/upper mid, so I think I'll have to experiment with different size chambers. Beyma quote the volume displaced by the driver as 5.5 litres, so I'll start by trying a 9 litre (g...

Thanks for your quick reply. I have been to assistance audio`s website, however was unable to find such model, but is possible they just disassembled the tweeter or whatever.This is really interesting news, about their violin reproduction, me too wou...

I wonder how far one could get to the traditional horn ideal (low-ranging compression driver plus some metal shimmer on top) with a BMS neodymium pure mid driver and a Celestion/Eighteensound/Beyma with aluminium diaphragm.BTW, something with berylli...

OK Romy, I agree this should stay here, especially that I will probably have more observations to come as from the late January.

I understand that "nothing changed in the horn dimensions if you go from between 10" and 12" driver". You are referring to the horn mouth I assume. Do you have a idea what compression ratio is good to have for upper base horn? It seems that 2:1 is ta...

Romy,I am very interested in this thread as I have heard the latest version of the speaker "eufrodite mk IV" . I do not think any of your objections would be changed by the latest version as he is now using push-pull array of beyma 8" drivers up to 2...

When I have heard the K-horns, they sound kind of soft and warm, making pleasant "old fashioned" vacuum tubey sounds. I am just guessing here, but the Beyma speakers have a very forward punchy sound much liked in professional monitors and car a...

[quote user="CO"] Ive been building and improving my own speakers the last few years and at this point i'm thinking a fully horn loaded setup ( 3 way + sub ) is the best route to take to get a speaker capable of faithfully reproducing the elect...

You have identified the tricky parts -the transistion between the front and back horn as well as the throat of the front tractrix horn. A one to one throat with the front horn works best with my coaxials and a short 1.25" straight 'ring' ...

Paul -- I used 1st order & bandpass on the Beyma. I think that 2nd on the Lowther would have been better.I set out to try and extend one "way" from the end of a wide-range drive unit, downwards. This I found to be well nigh impossible -- perhaps ...

For those seeking some decent compression drivers that don`t cost fortune, I can suggest to try the Eighteen Sound ND1460A compression driver. It has aluminum dome and polyester suspension and 1,4 inch exit throat. Does it sound like S2 ? Probably no...

Paul, I am no expert on tapped horns but I think the main (40 year old) principle is that you join the back wave of the driver with the front wave, now in order to have the 2 wave fronts meet, the back wave should travel a certain distance depending ...
