Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

[quote user="hoan da ox"]Hello to all, After following the comments of Romy for some time (have learned a lot, thank you), I would like to ask a question on this subject.This circuit is built with resistors, diodes and capacitors. Could someone elabo...

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...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

You said are lucky to get hornloading down to 150Hz. Then I guess you suggest you will end up at maybe 175Hz. Hornloading a compression driver down to 175Hz is not too difficult and the horn will not be larger than the Avantgarde Trio midbass horn, a...

Oliver,
It is hard to understand or describe what might be with Cessaro in Munich. Sometimes even if you are there it is hard to guess what is wrong. To debug Sound you need to go action and to observe how this particular installation reacts t...

It looks like it was a new trade show a few weeks back in Munich.
I missed the excitement in Munich but the more I read about the trade shows the
more I am glad that I do not attend them from 2005. From what I hear about the Munich
20017 was the e...

Thanks, Be, for a correction but the fun part is no one acknowledged your blander. The Goto drivers I think are exotic terra incognito for most people and I think it is how Goto Company is willing to keep it. No one talk about nuts and bolt of Goto c...

Thank, Alex. I have no problems with stick shift, I drive myself stick shift. As I understand...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi, I didn't particularly set out to 'demean' Avantgarde, they have a good business model, I don't believe it is a secret that they modify conventional drivers, I simply mean that the constituent parts of a Cessaro horn ...

Those horns are in Connecticut’s 7th exit in a home of guy who has a privet river with own waterfall at his backyard. He could put 20Hz straight horn in his closet if he would know how…. :-)
Anyhow, I do not what to dive into this discussion as it w...

According to my London contact the British miniatures Fane Acoustic is gone to dark. The remaining inventory was scraped by Eminence and the Fane is no more.
Over the years Fane made some interning things: guitar cone drivers, compression drivers, r...

I kind of got stuck in selecting an upper midrange driver, above 2kHz. If a driver is going to screech in your ears it is going to be in these frequencies. I was never really satisfied with the range of 1" compression drivers I tried. That is wha...

I got curious and dug until I found out that Alma Audio (a dealer located in La Jolla, near San Diego) was hosting the AudioPax/Avantgarde room at THE Show, Newport, 2015. This dealer's "website" is lousy, and I'm not interested enough to call them,...

Mike Hi, prices and value well the new Gamut speaker was next door to us in Munich, Euros 95K it was unbelievably poor , Avantgarde charge how much for their large Trios yet the modified conventional drivers they use cost only a few bucks each, as to...

I was also in Munich this year. Cessaro had one of the best sounding systems at the Show, but I thought I could hear some droning bass from BLH. Of course it could also be the room, but somehow I doubt it - I have heard few (some even made myself) BL...

has anyone had a chance to peep into martion room? from some of the regular visitors of munich fair, i've heard that a sound quality in their room with their flagship system (4-way horns with 4 amps and active XO) was much much better than earlier ye...

Romy are there any good commercially available horns that sre any good? What about AvantGarde I heard their Trio's recently, how far away are there from being good/ thanks Keith....

half the size (in length and width, so actually a quarter the size in extension) of that room for my crappy system. For me that's not an average living room. Those horns would never fit mine, not even the Avantgarde duos would.Regards....

I've always used to think the headphone market wasn't really that bad, more like a very healthy, "you can't go too wrong" thing. While I've already thought differently before making this thread, you just keep shitting on my face trying to wake me up ...

Maybe you could "turn in ceiling " and use a Avantgarde Duo configuration for your 200- 1000 Hz horn ? I read a lot of good things about B&C 8PE21 8" driver in that range (John Hasquin -not sure if I pronunced the name right ) it can be ordered a...

Hi Romy,You should have to check Tom Danley's speakers at http://www.danleysoundlabs.com/. He has quite a few tapped horn subs and Synergy horns for PA, but there are people using his speakers at home, like myself. I have changed from Avantgarde Acos...

Good that I am on this side of the pond. Finally a chance to compare Martion and Cessaro in Munich in a month. Avantgarde are usually present in several rooms, but fortunately nobody is forced to enter....

If you can get Trios through the door, you can get Basshorns through.However, if you stay with Avantgarde for bass with TRIOs, two pairs of the Sub 230s (larger and much better sub than the 225) will outperform a pair of Basshorns. Three pairs ...

"whatever that means" is that most rooms at a trade show are not good. You know this Rommy, I've seen you write it in past posts. I like that Silbatone was trying to demonstrate to the "Wilson Audio" crowd that vintage horns can surpass the latest mu...
