I made today some interesting experiment and for the first time during my “fundamentals channel saga” I get some stimulating and very result. I find a way to mount the “low frequencied S2 driver” on the speaker’s axe way above the Macondo’s tweeter. ...

The exceptional 15-inchers would be two fitted in two categories: the bass 15-inchers and wide-range 15-inchers. It is imposable to think about the exceptional and wide -range 15-inchers and do not mention the 1946 -1973 production of the Tannoy Dual...

Many people know that I run a side business doing wedding photography. During the 24 years that I have been doing the wedding gigs, and after over 950 jobs that I went through I kind of have seen all imaginable wedding bands. Certainly the “events mu...

That is a fancy one, with vacuum caps as I can see it. I do
not know about the practicality of vacuum caps – they have own pluses and minuses.
Still, that is nice crossover, a bit more complicated then I initially thought I

Well, I kind of begin to think what kind LF solution I might
have in the new room. The ULF might be fun to load on the ceiling in the way
how I described above. For the midbass I most likely will go for the
line-arrays with my beloved Scan Speak 2...

[quote user="anthony"]There should be an 111dB tap
on the Lazy Ribbon, but perhaps you have tried that already. Other than
that, perhaps talk to RAAL to see if they can improve the sensitivity a little

Well, in my formers listening
room I had music ran by horns and I had two line array with 12 driver driven by

would also be interesting if Tune Audio could have matching sealed sub-woofers
as option too (all their products), even if not too marketered (Tune Audio is a

martinshorn, I do not pay too much attention to K-hor as now as I do not pay too much attention to
Midbass channel. If I do not go for big ass midbass horn with large moth that
would change the whole room repose picture then to make a midbass chan...

Well, I have post able a number of articles about different aspects of Purepower 2000 operation and sound. I could make a few more but I think it is enough for now. I would like to drop a few general observation and conclusion.

[quote user="drdna"]I would not restrict myself to the idea that things need to be a certain way or a certain configuration of the drivers or ports based on theory alone. I think it is important to ask what is interesting about the sound that the new...

[quote user="drdna"] Fundamentally I think the injection channel and layered sound are different things. The injection channel is designed simply to compensate for the timbral shortcomings of a particular driver. However, because of lobin...

This is kind of funny. I got another B2 amp a few days back. It was near new condition, at least inside. As I plug it to drive my ULF I felt that it produces some kind of strange bass. I did not like it at all and it was very different then what ...
