Romy, I understand you are saying that a midrange horn rated flat to 300HZ should really be crossed at 600 or 1200 HZ. That claim doesn't make sense to me, esp. with a 24 db or higher crossover (active). Unless you are saying that hor...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I asked many times of my desire to have the final sparkle in the mid of this PP2000 softness is some kind of audiophile itch. I do not think so and I feel that the performance of my MF channel in context of the “different” ...

I am new to this interesting site, and am hopeful of getting some assistance with a project. I have purchased a set of TAD 1201 mid-bass drivers to begin a 4-way active system for critical home listening. (in a dedicated room, 21' x 25' w...

Hi Romy, As a recent convert to horn-speakers I have greatly enjoyed trawling through your website and I have learnt plenty not only about horns but also about questioning my own motives and the desired end result of a possible "from scratch" spe...

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...

Romy,what I have been wondering for a while, why don't you run your S2 from 500 Hz to 5000 Hz?...

[quote user="haralanov"] Romy, the actual sound benefit of this 4-channel upper bass configuration, is rather in the type of sound presentation. The commonly used single upper bass horn (or direct radiator) sitting under the midrange horn, gives the ...

Adrian,
It might be a fascinating but more evolved journey then you think or willing to endure. The first thing first I think that your fear that your “midrange might have ideal frequency response” is not a motivation to change anything. Are y...

OK this is with a digital XO, I'm wondering whether most of you would bother to low pass a 800-10k Radian mid in a 425hz Azurahorn, which hands over to a 10K+ tweeter?I've read that playing too high for a particular horn has some sort of dissadvantag...
