Well, first of all, I would like to mention that I edited your post replacing the link from eBay images to the link to the post which features the same images only hosted on my site. I did it because eBay listing will expire in 30 days and I do not w...

[quote user="JLH"]Foolishness is too soft a word to describe the unspeakable garbage the Magico Ultimate is. They have mis-matched impedance drivers, improperly sized horns for the drivers, and made everything from metal. Then they go on an attempt t...

Once again, let make it the last post off the subject of the 5-chals Milq.
I think it make sence to start from 370Hz-400Hz horns for S2, targeting it for 1000Hz. Then the lower bass horn, for instance the 45Hz, however it should have a chamber of m...

...if you want to use it "pure" as it were, without any in-between equalising. Or you could tailor the amp accordingly. I would see a lowther working well mid-high rather than mid-bass.My experience is limited, however, to EX-4 used with wizzer in a ...

I bought a few Linn Records own recordings of Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Dunedin Consort. They pushed them as “Studio Master” but they are WMA files – means the re-rendered compressed files – very sad.

Yesterday I listened for a few hours again, including Bruckner 7 and a new-to-me, (old) East German, "Chamber" rendition of Ein deutsches Requiem. It has been hot (for here) for several days and electricity was not so good. There were some nice mus...

[quote user="steverino"]My point is not that separation per se must always be maintained but that the character of the music determines the degree of optimum separation or co-location. For example the first violins are grouped together for a reason s...

I guess you have heard a more detailed speakers then. Your collection seem rather extensive. I never meant the Fane S 8N was overly detailed, just that it my paper horn the detail was gone, so I will not try that again.I share the process because...

Well. It will be tonight – I will be trying to drive through the horn signal and to see how it will drop main resonate frequency. This will give the idea of the back chamber size. The 5 and 6 sections are not glued yet – it will be gone upstairs, oth...

Here is the subject that makes anyone who does what we are trying to do wondering: do remover the screw from wood or not. Our leading position is the screw will be removed. We use long 5-7 inch double threaded screws that bund wood stronger than regu...

Romy,I have made honest attempts to contact the recommended horn designer candidates, but with no result. I do not know why but it looks like they are not seeing me, or responding. Like walking down the street and observing pedestrians looking though...

"Sadurni Acoustics' Staccato 4-way hornspeaker exploits MDF horns with up to 3" wall thickness. The 92cm lower midrange horn which loads a cone driver can "achieve 100Hz in-room". The actual 'turbine-horn' midrange driver is a compression sort. "The ...

The entire morning I am cleaning house and listening WCRB, warming myself up for 3MP broadcast of Riccardo Muti leads Chicago with Verdi's Requiem. Hey, did I tell you that am listening my new midbass horns? Well, I do and I do not. The throats of th...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Wow, 6 x 15" drivers (!!!); though the curved profile certainly imparts rigidity, I'm guessing this horn must resonate more than a bit (no bracing until the mouth) -- but I like this thing.
Interesting, the phase plug-lik...

The usual basic takes are: 1) Try to prevent resonance by using inert materials and/or construction. 2) Change the resonance frequency. 3) Spread it around. Basically, you won't know how something will affect your sound until you play with it, to g...
