Nice to see someone actually try it. I know that fast rates "work" from MF and up; but I have not tried it with compression drivers/high gain/LF.Thanks for sharing.Best regards,Paul S...

[quote user="N-set"]I didn't make it to the 2nd video before and it's indeed interesting.Esp. how he describes the result of his trick: "addition of HF transforming into more air and resolution in the MF instead of more glow at the top"(around 2:30 a...

Charlus,As you expressed here this would be an End of life speaker project, and I am sure you will not fancy any other speaker once you start with this, even Vox Olympian etc. Yes it will take a lot of money and a lot of time, but you will have fun...

I need to say that I do not like the Netherland-based company BD-Design. They do in my view non interesting products and their owner Bert, despite of being a more or less knowledgeable audio fellow have a tendency to patronize incredibly filthy audio...
|

Gordan, I think you are missing the accent of what I meant to say. The Class A or not is not important for compression drivers and the S3 in particularly. I mean it is important and it much be ONLY class A but I do not see any SS amps switching in cl...

there is one system that resembles what live music sounds like and its not a horn! :)To be honest I really have no idea of what topology these horns were setup like... all i have evaluated is there soundI like to go into something without any prejust...
|
|
I guess you cannot say you listened to a horn system if you dont have an upper bass horn.The upper bass horn has to fill in the response from the compression driver down. At this delicate range nothing will perfectly macth it but another front horn. ...

I like those ideas for tuning texture, and would add the way the surround is done and how it is clamped/bedded, which might be relatively easy to control, maybe even on the fly (with some sort of cam, for example). So far, it seems to work best to "...

[quote user="zako"]THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS ADVANCED THE DESIGN OF A MODERN DRIVER IS JBL,,, GOING FROM THE WESTERN ELECTRIC DESIGN TO THE 375,,376...PRO VERSION 2440,,2441... TO the 2450 types..USEING COHERIENT PHASE PLUG DESIGN TOPOLIGY that unit...

BTW, to illustrate my point. Here is typical Goto inhalation. In fact this is the better among others as to be typical the MF divers need to be lined up horizontally. I can hardly believe a person needed to be more Moron to voluntary arrange drivers ...

Cat:First off, the Silbatone Aporia is $30k/pr not 100k. You could do 6 speaker surround with Aporia for well under $100k. Hope you feel better now."So what," I say. $30k is already too much for my pocket. I am on a fellowship this year and cheapskat...

[quote user="CO"]I have tried a BMS driver a while ago and it was really bad.
About a year ago i heard Berts setup at his house and it did not impress me... It was also with the coaxial BMS.Not much depth or resolution. Did have alot of power though...

[quote user="MINGSU"]GOTO always recommend to use 1st order active crossover and 2nd order passive crossover. The reason to use 2nd order for passive crossover is to protect the driver. Of course, the user can use whatever they like the best but the ...

I was right before but now I really review my rightness for a new perspective. Yes, the compressions drivers are the subject of clean signal but it what I witness with the new 6-chenals DSET put what I said above in another extreme dimension. I do no...

just got it that you meant the diameters,of course its around 65%. i always calculated the throat-size with the area....i really would like to get a second pair of s2´s but i think right now it would be difficult even if i had the money;-(((if i go f...

Thanks, Eduardo, very interesting. The YL 75000 has no phase plug and 70Hz with 1” trout. It look to me like a conventional diver. Which beds a question: if to reduce compression with our classic drivers, loose plug off and reduce power then can we ...

[quote user="MINGSU"] Since they are very old pair of driver, I will recommend you to send them to GOTO Japan to make sure the driver are up to the spec. so you can be sure …. [/quote] Ok, but then they need to send them to me then in order I inform ...

The thing I notice with live music is the way the sound at all audible frequencies has articulated drive like I never hear with "true HF tweeters", or at least not the "tweeters" that go way up there. I got some sense of this drive and nat...
|
|
They have a 17cm throats so in most cases it is better to get the version with 2" throat for compression drivers, shorten them for the right throat size and build a chamber yourself....
|

Romy Hi, I do not know how the Alphas are configured crossover wise or how much 'sonic mad' they use, Avantgardes do not use compression drivers of course just slightly modified conventional cones ( I believe ) I have heard AG Trios the Cessaros are ...
|

If you ask me the compression drivers is like the jbl 2420/2470 design only with an other back chamber. And the low freq driver really makes me think of an old alnico driver of jbl 2220A http://www.lansingheritage.org/images/jbl/specs/pro-comp/2420/p...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]The electricity comment is interesting as today I put on some jazz music and the HF is very snappy, excellent! I feel like posting on AA to ask people's opinons if it's the electricity or if my concrete horns are going thro...

Sorry I misread, I thought you endorsed the use of PP tube amps with compression horn drivers. Well it looks like were still in the same situation of not making them work. I could go on about why I feel they don't work, but it won't chang...

Yes, the tamed beast is an oxi-moron. I thought of my 808s as ragged, rough (grainy) and spitty, while the S2 was also ragged/uneven, but the roughness was more like the sound of a metal zipper. Anyway, I never heard either of these stock drivers m...

Ok, since you people stop to drop the euphoric saliva around the Goto subject I think it would be worth to outline my interest in Goto. Not only worth but I kind of feel an obligation. I feel that my site surprisingly has become a resource that ...

I have heard some nice speakers in Germany using the Mundorf Air Motion Transformers. No saliva, ample "substance" in their tone and a very nice integration.http://www.mundorf.com/AMTnews/MUNDORF_PRO_AMT_FLYER_2012.pdfhttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/sup...

Hello,This is my first post to this site, which I have been absorbing for over a year.A horn project that I have been considering would include either a 1 inch or 1.5 inch throat compression driver into a Tractrix profile horn of which I have not yet...

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...
