Jim, I know who Earl Geddes is. I think a couple years back we exchange a few emails where his attitude was that although he appreciate and mostly agree with some context of my site but he is not wiling to acknowledge it because he was afraid that an...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...

Hi everybody, after reading RomytheCat's Macondo Setup I am very impressed ( phantastic music room ...) . Presently I have no working horns ( they are boxed), just questions.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I very much do not want to sound like I am expressing sarcasm. [/quote] Romy, I don’t treat your comments like expressed sarcasm and I never did it. In my view, your site is the only place in Internet, where fruitful discus...

I think that I extended too much credit to them. They were saying
about different midbass and bass horns and I was under impression that they do
not let their yellow driver back loaded horn to run all the way down. To use
Foxtex with no high pass ...

[quote user="Murataltuev"] Now it is
clear! Thank you, Romy!Today I auditioned and measured GOTO with closed hole in
back chamber. Mid-bass completely disappeared!
With closed back chamber it works efficiently
only from 200Hz! So, I'm going to tr...

Back in end of 90s, we read articles by Thomas Dunker, Joe Roberts, Bruce Edgar, and many others (some of them were designers and some of them just publicists) who were trying to persuade that horns are some kind of advantageous topology and that...

[quote user="Saturntube"]Similar experience but I get to keep my "old" room. I have just changed my 5 way horn loaded down to 140 hz speakers to a friends room twice as big as mine, with an open back area into the house as your new room has and o...

Thanks guys, I have contacted Peter and the JBLGuy, let see what it would fish. I would need to find the Vitavox Mike from UK, but all his formal contact do not works - it looks he closed down his old shop. If somebody knows his new email/phone t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] 1) Horn loaded drivers are narrow-bandwidth transducing system. The wider range a horn channel covers the more it conflicts with restrictions of own topology.
2) All channels shell have strictly parallel axis
3) ...

First off, I forgot to mention an interesting observation: Before running the sweeps (previous post), since the drivers in the upper-bass horns are new, I decided to verify/optimize rear chamber volume (they are easily adjustable)... I wasn't expecti...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I was thinking about the throat of my hypothetic midbass horn. This is complex, controversial and it has pretty much no answer, at least in the formeat I ask it. I will share my thoughts with you.

OK, now I am happier as I did my duty and the back chambers are ready to be attached to the horns and to be lifted up. Yesterday I spent 5 hours trying to build the back chamber displacement that Jessie and my carpenter recommended me. I bought t...

Here is an interesting setup. It is nowhere in Moscow Russia. I did not hear it but it does not mean that we can’t analyze what the authored was trying to accomplish.
It is 3-way installation. Bass looks like dual G...

[quote user="noviygera"]My mid/upper horns play down to 190Hz. That is -- 188Hz is the Fs of the mid. It's a horn loaded a 10" Precision Device driver. So I need a section (or two sections) to cover the bottom (below 190hz). [/quote]

I was listening last night a string quartet rehearsal. The play was for the most part justifiably non-so-glorious and I was thinking about my little audio things. For sure our upper MF drivers nowhere near where they need to be. There is too much...

Hi folks. Who ever listened to Living Voice Vox Olympian Speakers might've liked them as much as I do.
They got a great realism in their projection. Some things are obvious, some even claimed.
Its claimed to use excellent drivers, high quality ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Sean, this subject is tricky. You might like your original Altec 802 better than your new 802G. (I did not
even know that they do new version). I have no doubts about your preferences
but how sure are you prefer the sound...

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Can you
suggest the thread to read about it ? So, how many octaves from fs will be

How many octaves from fs? We are taking about how many fractions
of dB not octaves! Look for a threated:

Art Dudley printed his review of Volti Audio's Vittora loudspeakers.

Romy,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you… (this being the summer time in a Latin country, I still have no internet connection at the new place).

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...
