Well said, Haralanov. It might be nice to say also, for further clarity, that the wide-range MF channel is not part of a 3-way system, because no wide-range-driver-with-extended-upper-end is "enough" without help as it goes down, toward and into th...

Romy, I am pleased but not surprised to hear that you have quietly ascertained and begun to implement corrective measures to ensure the overall balance of critical elements in your new situation, since without these in place, you would likely come to...

Romy, all this seems to be fairly typical of large-ish listening rooms, along with grotesque lobing and combing. I agree with waiting to use absorbtive treatments until you have a sense of the the system/room's total energy potential, using current ...

well fine, my X350.5 does 50 watt class A, and of course in push-pull. I use it with 120 watt max rated 3 way speakers of about 87 dB efficiency. You can see on the 350.5's centre instrument dial if you go out of class A. If I go out, I usually fear...

Serge, it is a common misconception that the old Altec cinema/PA systems were lovingly built and installed with tubes or high-fidelity "music playback" in mind. In fact, they were meant to be LOUD and durable sound reinforcement tools, while maintai...

Andrew, the "holographic imaging" reminds me of certain FFT "scans". You use the term, "SONAR". Surely, test tones are actually in the "working" audio band? What frequencies are involved? Can you say a bit more about generation and "reception" with...

Hi, WojtekI get lots of PM from readers of this site; it should work. Try again, and be careful with the spelling, etc. Though I can easily upload pictures to GSC Image Gallery, I can't seem to get them from the Gallery to the Board. Perhaps they ...

N-Set, I believe Romy posted scope traces of his PP output in this thread, many years ago. As I recall, it was a "pulsed sine wave". Nobody has said the PP is quiet; quite the opposite. As for battery power, I finally got to "A/B" a large, well thoug...

A year or so ago (I do not know exactly when it started as I but audio publication irregularly) I have see that Wilson Audio begin to advertise their new loudspeakers as the design inspired by David Wilson’s revelation after he was sitting at...

But how does that work with tiny amps? Is this a case where the thing is used solo, as "FR", or something, or is it part of a starts-at-89dB multi-driver speaker? I had some Rogers LS35As a long time ago, and they were fun for a while, ne...

[quote user="drdna"]What is revealing is that the system functions poorly with recordings with a lot of reverb. This is what one would expect of course, given the setup. Probably the best recordings to play on such as system would be the old Three Bl...

Amir. for me. regardless of what I've started out to do in audio, I have been forced to compromise along the way. I am sharing my speaker/amp compromises in this thread. My "second system" is a radio (or computer) and headphones (or "desk speakers")....

Hi Romy,
Give the ribbons a try http://www.e-speakers.com/products/beengineering.html. These are too expensive I think but believe me the sensitivity is real. The best part is also that the impedance is very flat and an easy amplifier l...

Why do you care what Robert Harley, TAS or the people from Magico have to say?Why does it matter whether the reputation of horn loaded loudspeakers gets sullied in some way by these people? No manufacturer that I know of does it properly anyway. The ...

Of all the manufacturers you could be poking fun at you've chosen two who actually care about what they make and sell. Whenever I encounter Bruce Edgar he always strikes me as a courteous and serious guy trying to offer value for money, high performa...

I don't suppose the input tube was a 437A?And perhaps (at that price) silver trannies? I have never never knowingly heard silver trannies (apart from my Ortofon step-up), and I wonder why anyone would pay that much for them when amorphous ...

user="jeff1225"]Romy,When you say that the Vitavox 15" was the

Joe, I think I would battle it.
I would not be so certain. Mostly the SUV sized bass horns are notoriously bad sounding despite of the assurances of the system owners overwhelmed with so common in audio endowment effect. Not to mention that the Stag...

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 ...

Chris, I'm not Romy but I've listened to some of their products -- about which I'll talk later. First:[quote user="dazzdax"]Hi Roman, FM Acoustics amplifiers from Switserland have been regarded by many audiophiles (mostly the ones with lots of money)...

As a weekend-only listener, it can take me eons to break in some of my most stubborn components. In the case of the K&K, things seem to have reached +/- tonic equalibrium.I may have have mentioned it in passing, but at some point ...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

[quote user="drdna"] The altered topology of DSET has the potential to have disadvantages. There is increased overall system complexity and this often seems to be a negative. Beyond this, it is difficult to expound, for me, on the specifi...

Wojtek, I am indeed hemmed in by the fricking electricity these days, to the extent that it is about impossible to hold on to a baseline for reference. And the Lowthers only make the problem more apparent.Yes, I still wonder about how I wo...

A local GSC member took me up to THE Show, in Newport Beach, CA. This was the first audio show I've attended in over 25 years. It was way more frenetic than any audio show I remember. Lousy sound everywhere, of course, and no good music, and the c...
