[quote user="haralanov"] Your midbass horns have delay with decay, because there are a lot of internal reflections (acoustic resonances) that takes some time to settle down below the treshold of hearing. It can not be compensated by "special type...

Antonio,
Bruce Edgar sells an excellent all front-loading horn system, the Titan, which works well in small rooms. He will sell you unfinished horns, and you can find/buy the drivers yourself if you are a DIY guy, or on a budget. Considering the...

Looking again at the EdgarHorns, the placement in the room seems nearly optimal and they are now properly time aligned. Looking at the phase of the individual drivers and listening to each of them individually revealed that the tweeter was wire...

When I think back to some of the products made over the years I realize that neither we nor the manufacturers really know what makes something sound good. Some of the early pieces made by (and I hope Roman forgives me here) Pass, Van den Hul, C...

I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may be worth investigati...

Hi Paul,The Cogent diaphragm I have seen pictures of was woven carbon fiber with a leather outer surround. I have never listened to a Cogent 1428 but they must sound very good, at least Bill Woods and Bruce Edgar say so.Besides their overall ultra cl...

Yes, I understand what you are communicating t...

I spans last night some time measuring all my Vitavox 15-incers drivers, inspecting them, matching them and trying to find perfect pair. I would probably get involve in Ménage à trios and will sleep with them if I were able to arrange it. Since the ...

Stephano Two good ears has put a post on his site about his new 4 way passive xover.I think this is a better direction than the digital xo. The designer, Thomas, designed also the preamp and I guess he has taken into consideration the input and ...

Actually, for me it works differently. I do not read a lot about horns and try do NOT learning anything about horns. I very much do not take seriously also most of the things that people talk about horns on internet. People run mouth on any subject ...

Romy,
>If Bruce suggests that his folded upper bass horns works better then his straight horn, and if it is correct (do not forget the he said about his horns), then it means absolutely nothing.>

Romy,
Funny stuff... especially the the AN piece. Equally surprised octopodes ? Brilliant !
As for the Bruce Edgar post ? Not as funny. And it's off base.
The Titan II system has a straight axis upper bass horn instead of a folded upper bas...

Romy,Thank you again for a helpful reply. Your comments are very appreciated inspite of not suggesting what to do. I will figure that out myself. And here is what I've learned so far:>> Herman, if you use Precision Devices hen you are at mid-hi...

I woke up and thinking about the horn problem with fresh head I am thinking what did wrong. I did not measure the frequency response of the horn – I did not see a need for it – the sound of the thing is way beyond where it needs to be measured. I dis...

I though this would be answered elsewhere (AA) but Bruce Edgar did not reply. This question is important for me, maybe someone can help.When running an impedance sweep on the Edgar 80Hz horn some serious bumps showed up. (I ran the sweep because it s...

Thirty Hertz,
I do not know it and I do not think that at this site there are any people who are active audio archeology. The site has a few Hungarian members but I do not think they post. If anything try the Audio Heritage forum.

Hi Romy Indeed you sound a little racist, but i think we all have our prejudice. Funny enough, i didnt recognize nor cared, spotted the horn with my eyes, went in and listened.Now, read this carefully: I listened to the system with closed eyes, for ...

Well that was my father. We founded the company together - he invests, I researches, mostly. Bruce Edgar and Sam Saye taught me how to design, and we built our first prototype system in California.Think I need a bit more clarification on the five tim...

A friend stopped by tonight when I was test-listening my midbass horn. He got freaked out from the size of the thing. I played for him some Gerhard Oppelt’s organ recordings. He told me that I am crazy, like I do not know it myself. Anyhow, he made a...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

I've had a long-time desire to replace my Edgar 80hz midbass shells with a better performing solution. My Edgarhorns arrived in 2005, and I made incremental improvements over the years until now they have little in common with the original Edgarhorn...

I’m glad you talk about geometry, but to respond to this I have to refer to other brands. I will only talk about facts and hope it’s not offending anybody.My basic point is: the flare rate has to be coherent right from the entrance of phase plugs. In...
