I never was fan of the Oris 150. They meant be used with Lowther type of drivers, that never worked properly. The Oris 150’s upper bass is not really the bass that might be obtained form the Oris’ mouth. Should this Oris has twice smaller throat and ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Try to drop the Altec in 400Hz horn down to 1000 Hz -700Hz and arm your Oris with a MD driver with a good lover midrange driver (B&C of whatever you use) You will be able to go away with 4 channels… You have a lot of n...

i am not at all intentioned to make a horn speaker to get rich. i dont think abought this at all. for me its hobby. its abought to have fun, and to get as close as possible reproduction of live music. as close...

Too late now for points, but just the other day I tried to imagine your plan. and I was pretty close.Actually, it is a bit like what I have going now; 15" Eminence bass guitarr woofers in a sealed 3 cu ft cabinet,Oris 150 with 8" B&C midrange dr...

Hi Romy,Outside of the already constructed bass towers, is there a reason you are looking exclusively for 10" drivers? I have heard a pair of stacked 15" Lambda's on each side supplementing/providing bass to lower midbass under some Oris horns ...

Hi Romy,
I think my post is a little confusing.
The picture shows all the different drivers
used in these experiments. The Altec in
wood
horn is the constant with the
the 21" bass channel. Then I bridged the ...

I can't figure how Bert can mannage to successfully overcome the fact that the tweeter is sooo deep.I'm also curious about something else. I read in a recent post of yours that you have heard the mr. wolf's ultimates and that you consider that they a...

farmeroni! hope the plants are doing went well this season... [I have recently had 4 sealed bass bins made each with 2 8" scanspeak drivers. I dont have them yet. Every other speaker I have stinks worse than the Fridge. Good Luck!] 4 seale...

Trying to explore the upper bass channel reaching up to a Victor Sierra 360 Hz horn with an Altec 804 with a 4 uF oilcap, I first used my OB Supravox 215, then a B&C 8" woofer in a large BR originally used with EV 15" (the latter not good) ...

Kris, I agree with you about the unobtainable 300Hz.Had really hoped for that, but so far no go with my set up:An old Oris-150 with a 4" throat wood adapter/cradle that John Sheerin made for me,with the 2482 playing out the back, so you see the entir...

Hi Kodomo-You have made an ambitious undertaking. Congratulations to a brave decision.Can you please elaborate a little on your TAD implementation. I have used one on each side ,in 3 cuft sealed cabinets, first order from 60 to 150Hz, blending gent...

I'd like to point out that Fostex 500 MKII is very much not sharp and artificial sounding. If anything it's an opposite -little too syrupy , soft and round so it blends with cone mid better than beryllium tweeter. I have no first hand experience with...

I don't know why the Berning topic gets everyone so worked up. No need for another ZOTL screaming contest. Is this not a hobby where we explore many solutions? It is a difficult subject technically. I for sure can not speak about th...

KlausMartin (Azura horn ) is making for me extension to 2.75" (BC 8p21)and 1.4" for 204 Hz (altec 288c) .He also developed 550 hz horn for S2 . He understands importance of smooth driver -throat transition . It would be ready to go solution for...

[quote user="Paul S"]Sure, forget the sales pitch, but some of similar might be good for fairly wide range MF. However, based on the sound sample, it's hard to say much about this one, apart from what looks like an extra load of multiple whizzers at/...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]fiogf49gjkf0dI am observing an interesting and surprising fact – I am begging to like my active Marchand crossover. I did a number of modifications to it and it looks like the parts are broken-in now – it does sound very pl...

That was the 4 way system designed by John Sheerin using GOTO drivers on my request. The tweeter is GOTO 160 with S3000 horn xover at 5kHz. The high mid is GOTO SG370DX with S600 horn xover at 1kHz-5kHz. The low mid is GOTO 505TT with S150 hor...

Hello Roman and friends,Here's a first post from me, to say hi and let you know why I've joined and perhaps ask a few questions...I'm building a pair of loudspeakers, with close to zero experience with loudspeaker building, hoping that the ...

I agree that from absolute point of view "yellow driver with wings" is not a great solution. But, there is many types of yellow drivers with quite different specs and a few types of "wings" also exist. I'm not going to deffend this kind of imp...

For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. Why did I embark on this quest? Well although I’m quite happy with my headphones, I miss being...

The only reason I don't have a giant WE system is that I can't afford it and I don't have room. I sold all of my WE and Lansing field coil gear to my Silbatone friend back in 1989, because I know he would never sell it, he was putting together a ser...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] I feel I am being objective when I say that a Mirrophonic system simply blows away Altec, Vitavox, TAD, etc. [/quote]
Joe, I am not a reader of your magazine and the phrase like “blows away” impress me very little. P...

The best midrange comes from compression drivers, it has that minuteness, transparency and dynamics that no other topology can offer; the main problem with them is that they only cover a very specific mid frequency ran...
