no- there's no reason why it wouldn't make sense NOT to give 'er a crack-- at worst, i wouldn't like the results!i guess the difficult part really is sorting out measurement vs. hearing- tricky at best! trying to assemble sense from possi...

I understand this is a "popular" piece of music (popular for classical music, anyway), but I never really got into it the way I did Brahms' PC 2 and a couple of others. But this piece came on my clock radio on a Sunday night, and I later learned it w...

Hi Romy,I feel very pleased for you. I was always somewhat puzzled by your descriptions of how you felt the S2 sounded, particularly between 600 and 1200 Hz. My experiences with a few different horns but always with a good quality SE amp were invaria...

My other love and career has been as a metal sculpture so I like to mix the two. It gives me great pleasure to see cool looking audio while ensuring that it sounds a good as possible to my ear. Using 4 of these tubes in my next build, I would like ...

Anthony, congratulations on getting your project to this point! I mention without referring back to your schematics, I think you will be glad to have test points, along with variable resistors (trim pots) to re-set operating points, as needed, if on...

Yes, it is built according to the schematic, but by someone else, from whom I have only just received it. The opt is custom-made nanocrystalline amorphous core, gapped at 300mA and running 200V/240mA.It is quiet, precise and very fast (which last the...

Hello Chris, Yes, the 340s are superb. Martin suggested I cut them myself, but they're very nicely made and I really don't want to make a pig's ear of it. I wish I'd had him make them with an "adapter" so I could use larger format drivers. I didn't h...

Romy Hi, Raplh uses a 300b push pull, but the power supplies are massive, parts alone 15K Euros, each channel has a separate supply, the pre-amp again two massive power supplies , he prefers to use eight of the horn loaded bass bins, although I...

Welcome to the state of the lost virginity. In fact the expresses of the 98 percent of people worldwide are irrelevant as if you know how time-misaligned sound horns then you would automatically discard whatever ...

I am not sure what you say. You said that you are able to do time alignment by by-ear listening “a well known single instrument recordings, then to more complex and textured recordings”… Can you tell me what you are listing for while you are doing it...

Decoud, in order to say anything useful I would like to know to the following: 1) Where the tweeter will be installed? 2) What the size of the room? 3) What are you planning to install the speaker in your room? 4) What LF solution do you consider...

I do not think my topology is relevant, (it took me 3 months to get my studio horns to sound right 20 years ago so I expect this again, it is a mix of mjlouspeaker transmission lines and this midrange m4 trial. And it is actually 2 systems I am w...

KS, I am not following what is your problem is. The “big bass box” is unknown height. Let say that it is it 36” then it will have MF sitting about it. The lower midrange horn with 800hz crossover pint is sitting above MF. So, everything is fine as fa...

[quote user="twogoodears"]Also: a tuning fork, the basic, humble tool which makes a full orchestra to play "in tune" is - as applied math and acoustic, a sort-of interpretation of Nature and its Laws - giving 440 cycles (hertz) flat to the trained mu...

I had my visit in Munich yesterday and the Cessaro´s performance was totally different. Tonally without any compromize, so it was a pleasure to stay in the room this time :) Unfortunately very much on the muddy side. I think I start to understan...

[quote user="Paul S"]But now I am stuck thinking that if the DSP/LF amps curves are aimed at 19 Hz, and 19 Hz is limited to 88 dB, then an equalized output might also be limited to 88 dB before clipping and/or "unacceptable distortion" from the LF co...

Thank you, Jorge, for comment. I'm definitely going for wood horns. For my ear it has no coloration in compare with other material. Only for experiments I'm using what is available ready.Regarding driver for 300Hz, which one will you suggest to try ?...

Hi Keith,Interesting experience you have as I have found running my 505TT with the 160hz le'clech horns between 320hz-1200hz (with first order slope) works best for my setup and using my 15" goto sg-38wn woofer to play under 320hz (which sounds very ...

RomyIt's topical to ask, since I'm building a 4-way system at the moment ..( Tapped horn behind and three-way horn system in front )Do you favour the tweeter horn to be placed at the top, above the mid/HF horn , or in this situation place the tweeter...

Hello Stringreen,
First, though I do use it, I think the term "time alignment" is a misnomer... We should really be calling it something else.
When you say "Time Allignment has nothing to do with the placement of instruments in an orchestra", y...

I wonder if you could hang a secondary driver in a dead box, without baffle, or perhaps more usefully, with a shaped baffle and use it to provide the "resonance" effect of many vibrating panals of tuned length and specificshaped radiating areas...
