Philips (stereo) PHS900-120Another example of how sentimental I am, I suppose, but I just love these pieces that showcase Beethoven's utter mastery of earlier forms, which he seemingly tosses around nonchalantly, but with the utmost affection and res...

Yep, it is a wonderful work. I heard it but kind of overlooked it but your mentioning made me to review my attention. BTW, Ravel has even greater work: The Trio for piano, violin and cello is. I juts was playing my live recording from WGBH’s st...

RCA Victor, LM1119 (mono LP that sounds better in "stereo")OK, I admit to liking music that puts me into an altered state (of mind), such as this, Debussy's La Mer and Franck's D minor Symphony, etc.. This piece certainly warrants comparison with Rav...

Trio Carlos Van Neste; Pavane CD, ADW 7521Here is a nice performance of another remarkable "chamber-scale" work that musically transcends its genre. Although there is no setting aside the biographical context/content of this particular piece, I will...

Pearl (Stereo) LP, SHE553Here is a "bagatelle" from Dvorak; rather, a sack full. The work is done up in 6 short-ish "movements" that are +/- rounds based on the Ukranian "dumka", a sort of semi-hysterical peasant dance that typically features the al...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Do I understand correctly: AG used Fane 8Ms in the Trios upper bass horn?[/quote] Oh, no! AG in Trio’s upperbass horn used similar 8” driver with 103 sensitivity. That driver was bad and it made me to look for a replacemen...

OK, I think I need to help to poor Rakesh to sell his Fanes. If he do not find his 50 buyers then he will be suffer from need to buy all of them as the ugly Fane people will not give him a break, selling o him as many drivers as he has managed t...

Running in drivers...and the sound is getting better and better...just lovely.This weekend, I'll relocate my mid bass horns to fire directly out to the room. The angled baffles work very well for integration of sound with the mid horns...but I'll get...

The DC biasing of filtering caps was something that I was advocating for years but recently I was pointed out that German Avantgarde took it a bit further. I did not use this method but it goes sound interesting. Read the Avantgarde’s document, the p...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I would live aside the technical aspect of the Kostas’s demo above and would like to point out other thing. I find this classical trio playing their rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” was very illustrative. Su...

This was the most astonishing and bewildering moment of my
entire audio life. It was in 2000. That time I lived in cozy downtown Boston
apartment that I absolutely loved. The apartment sounded fabulously with pretty
much any playback you put in. A...

A couple hours ago WHRB stage own 4 days long, day and night Mstislav Rostropovich’s Orgy. The Broadcast is available on line – a phenomenal work listening… The program is more then exiting:

Angelo,
I care less about the “commercially available” objectives, honestly it is too boring.
However, whatever you do not be distracted that what you are making will be reminding Avantgardes. The Avantgarde Trio Classic (in vertical configuration)...

Dear Romy,
Thank you for the commentary and the advice with regards to the need to have a COGNITIVE ORDER OF SUCCESSION and to test with another speaker in situ first.
Given the varying degrees of how different individuals process COGNITI...

[quote user="Tax"] Your post has had the desired effect and I am doing some more research into Fane Studio 8M, 16 Ohm drivers in a 4 inch throated horn tuned to 115Hz with the intention of crossing it from 70Hz to 500Hz . This may be similar to w...

I built a prototype of a Avantgarde Trio in newspaper and tape, with the Beyma CP380/M, Community M200, and the Fane S 8M, and I also used a Behringer CX3400 and a 45 tube amp. CX3400 is soon replaced by digital active XO.Paper may have made the midb...

I find the Kostas’ experiments are VERY interesting and his idea of using the SONY DSR11 is very innovative. Unfortunately I do not think that nowadays 15bit is “enough”. I know a guy who uses film’s CGI processors to record at half mHz, that I do no...

Tonight I finished two
horns at once. One was a shortened Goto S-150 horn that now has a
Fane S 8M, without back chamber so far. Dimensions are now 1.1m deep, 11cm throat, 75cm mouth. It is replacing the Avantgarde
Trio midbass horn r...

Romy,Very briefly. I am wasting my time writing this response, and probably yours as well, but let me again, as you say, bite the bait and respond anyway.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
