... may be a good thing, perhaps? I'm currently thinking about just how good I want my system to be. Even my present speakers - Altec A7 - tell me quite a bit about the atrocities mny recording and mastering engineers like to inflict on the performan...

Hi i want to replace my 802 G drivers with something that plays flat and has extended highs. I have several horns was thinking of using Radian drivers like the 1.4" 745pb i have some 800hz 1.4" tractrix horns to mount them on. Anyone have experienc...

I have long followed posts in this forum and wondered what the ultimate horn system sounds like. I have always liked certain attributes about the horn systems I have heard (Trios, Cessaro, Acapella, Altec, the usual suspects) but never to the point ...

Hey Romy I read your requirements of a mid bass horn. I am using jabo tratrix KH-55A(320hz) with altec 288 and I want the mid bass to go under that. I would use a trattix round midbass if it was possible. But it's just not with in my abilitys to buil...

Just to share with you with my ideas about the Scepter 500 clones. I´m not sure if I will use the w3801 bass drivers. I felt in love with Altec 416 and quite frankly I very much doubt that Onkyo would sound better or equally good. It surely doesn´t s...

I need to say that I did not do any experiments with any commercial audio equipment for a looooong time. Partially I have no needs as I do not buy anything and partially I have no interest. It is not that I have anything against commercial audio ...

Stefano, welcome to the club, not the GoodSoundClub but the club of understanding of what is going on.
The subject of drivers in Tailored Audio™ is complicated and one of the biggest problems in this complicity is to defeat the attitude of judgment ...

[quote user="MusicLover"] Romy, SS amps have a FLAT freq curve and essentially inaudible distortion. THey don't cause ANY sound. No one has been able to scientifically demonstrate that SS amps add any HUMAN AUDIBLE signature to the signal. While I un...

No mater how ridicules the title of this article sounds on my site but I was quite glad to see the in the May’s issues of Stereophile the Robert J. Reina review of Advent loudspeakers. I do not think that Advent’s review is a sign of some kind of sin...

Hi!Sorry for not spotting this thread before. I'm the member of this forum and I read it from time to time. I don't know what do you mean with "he is from diyaudio.com site"? I'm member of a few formums and newsgroups but I wouldn't say that I'm from...

the sad truth was the space, the finite funds, and the available bms pucks! the sad truth also, i suppose,the lack of available, and sensitive horn users to bounce off of!i could probably see what your dislike of the bms stems from-- i tried to...

Hi all... yes, a clean power is paramount for a clean sound... I run my turntable and pre-amp on batteries and the difference in sound is amazing, while I never used outboard filtering on amps, BUT I have a public mains transformer at 10 meters from ...

Hello Roman,Hola from Hong Kong! How are you? Haven't been here for long time. I have a question at the back of my mine for long time, and it may have been covered elsewhete in your blog before. I am asking it here but do point me to the thread if it...

John, I see where you go with it. I afraid that I will not be making my drivers – I have no idea how to make them in order them to sound the way I need. I have no problem to design and to make 4" exit compression driver or to undertake a project to r...

Josh, thanks for sharing. Of course I have not listened to these speakers, but I can say their marketing looks and reads pretty much the same as other manufacturers who aim at wealthy nerds who want to own "the best". Altec-Lansing was very much li...

of MTM arrangement of two TAD 1201 in <100 Hz Horn ? I assume they would both work in the same frequency range . Also JBL LE8 is only 89 db driver and it doesn't look like it can take any power . Difference in efficiency within the channels would ...

Charlus,As you expressed here this would be an End of life speaker project, and I am sure you will not fancy any other speaker once you start with this, even Vox Olympian etc. Yes it will take a lot of money and a lot of time, but you will have fun...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]The price is 167,000 Euro I was told. The material they used for bass cabinet at least looked like MDF. Sound was much better than any speaker I've heard in show, expect Cessaro which was wonderful. BTW Marten, Kharma, Focal, Ma...

It is good, very good. Actually I did not expect that it would be so easy and some resentful at the same time. I was running the new horn, juts single horn, listing it here and there, trying to get a precise high-pass crossover point. The 18.5uF turn...

Romy, what exactly was bad, and how?Honestly, my knowlwedge and objectives were in infancy back then. Also, it's been so long that my "memory" is probably crowded with parasitic ideas passing themselves off as memories. But I remember the 808 drive...

Romy I see were you are going With this horn worship for midbass. It is the correct thing to do "But you still will not be happy with the outcome because it does no go low enough. You will not be happy with 60hz. Then you will need something that ...
