Romy I think for many people it's not even possible to reach a level of musical spiritual force. I've talked to Dr. Edgar at length about this, he and I believe that to have this feeling about music, one needs ...
|
Chris, yes and no. The phase shift 90 degree of there perhaps but it is not really relevant. If we have a very low frequency horn, crossed low with high order crossover and the entire horn is delayed at 30ms then we do not have the same negative impa...

Paul, wish you were on the East rather than west coast. Then you could hear what Romy and I have with our two systems with concert hall reproduction and judge for yourself what it adds to concert realism. Of course, half of what I have in reproductio...

I have been thinking about this video and am now seeing another cut on the shear magnitude of what Brian has demonstrated here. I mean, this guy has just crushed Newton under his own apple! Smashed him to pieces, made apple sauce of him if you will a...

My main 6 speakers are modified Edgar horns with 105 dB/ watt sensitivity, and the others are overhead emotive speakers with standard 90 dB/ watt sensitivity. There are two JL self powered f12 subs, and 4 self built subs with a sherbourn five channel...

“'...preface your comment with something like this: 'It is not what I think - it was what Bruce Edgar found for himself beneficial to share with me'. I hope you understand where I was coming from."
Yes, I understand what you are communicating t...

[quote user="Jorge"]One more thing about the JBL 375, I did play around with them enough, I aligned the diaphragms several times untill they sounded their best and were very listenable, This was some time ago now, I didnt turn my horns then, so I tr...

When you guessed ESD or my employees were doing copies or cheapie, when u doubted we just embraced some of the Bruce’s idea like a thief before knew nothing abut my company & my team, I kept silent. I just told you politely that we co-operated wi...

[quote user="drdna"]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 ...
|
Romy, I think you are asking if I have the Edgar subwoofers also. Yes, I do, like giant woodgrain refrigerator in the living room. So I do get some bass response.The Decca cartridges sound different from every other cartridge I have heard...
|
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,thank you for sharing thoughts on the 80Hz horn, giving honest opinion. So if the 80Hz horns are flawed design, I do not want to waste time to improve them. By the way, they are loaded with EVM15B drivers. I am now a bit perplexed on which rout...
|
TubeBuilder,you wrote>>>I have some ev15 woofersYou may be able to use them in Bruce Edgar 80Hz straight horns or better yet, he has a more properly proportioned 100Hz straight horns which are bigger than the 80Hz horns but have a ...
|
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 ...
|
[quote user="drdna"]I would say we all commune with our spirituality through music. What Roman describes as the reproduction of sound without an emotional component sounds more like a description of the study of acoustics more than a way of tal...
|
I find the sound of my horn loudspeakers very satisfying, and by the way I have the EdgarHorn Titans, which may make you chuckle if you are a horn snob, but I think they do a very good job, one of the best commercially available horn system out there...
|
Edgar, of course I am not interested in blanket "recommendations" out of context. After all, it's a Big World out there, and time grows short for me. Do you know that there are several GSC threads where RI has been discusssed, going back some time? S...

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 ...

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.>
Dr. Edgar - who designed and hand made the...
|
Romy, I re-read your comments a few times to better understand your feedback. I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is t...

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...

[quote user="KLegind"]I had a look at the pic of your speaker just now - may I ask about the reasoning that went in to choosing a diffraction type horn?Also, your midrange looks like an open baffle type. What kind of back wave/diffraction management ...
|
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...

While I have heard the terms static dynamics, micro and macro dynamics, I have never heard of dynamic dynamics. Are you referring to the term “changing dynamics”, which means a volume change, either gradual or instantaneous. What was missing yesterda...

[quote user="drdna"] I know all the compromises involved with the EdgarHorns, I have heard them when I visited Bruce Edgar in Gardena, and they were pretty good compared to most of what is out there. I realized that I would likely never be able...

Hello Roman and friends,Here's a first post from me, to say hi and let you know why I've joined and perhaps ask a few questions...I'm building a pair of loudspeakers, with close to zero experience with loudspeaker building, hoping that the ...
