This is something I have been at for the last few years, I have tried a few drivers, at the moment some of my favorite are the vintage RCA MI 1443, yes filed coil and some funny cone diaphragm, they are used from 500 hz to 5 khz with a Fostex T...

Haha, great analogy Edgar! Actually while writing to you the previous mess, I was listening Dannoys the 1st time after laying down the parquet and that was sooo damn good! No idea if the parquet helped or what but it was mesmerizing (FM program w...

Rich,
I think it’s too early to seriously to talk about sound of your driver. As I understand you have no horn for this thing. Your comment that the driver goes all the way unto 8kHz clearly indicates that you used wrong horn before. If you stick a...

It is interesting… complaining about the fact that the “promising to be claver” Cessaro Horn using the TAD drivers (still it is not completely known as they said that that MD driver cost €4000) I asked myself: what else they might use? Really, ...

Hi Rich, Romy, all
[quote user="rdrysdale"]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,...

I’ve been harassing my horn-maker for quite a while with an idea to go for straight, no-cheating 45-50Hx horn. We discussed it countless times and sometime probably we would go for this, and particularly if I figure out how to resolve the delays prob...

John, I disagree.
No one deny the importance of harmonics and you are right saying that “If a speaker does not reproduce the harmonics correctly, then the tone is not reproduced correctly.” However you are talking about a complete speaker, not...

Clark demanded that I, too, concentrate on Bruckner.At first listen I thought it was lacking in that frenzied intelligence of Mahler - too simple. With time I see how idiotic that impression was and my listening to Mahler is almost nil where Bruckne...

Romy,
Even using " digital dreck " ( and not knowing what " interesting imaging " might be ) my horns image very very well. Only in the sweet spot, but that's fine with me.
For instance, on good recordings I am easily able to hear/see if/when...

Romy,
More to come soon but a couple comments regarding bass horns ( and one on Tractrix horns ) :
The Edgar Seismic subwoofer ( 18" JBL E155-4 hyperbolic-exponential folded horn, 40 Hz Fc ) works very well in my room - much better than the 1...

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="noviygera"]And one last thing for now I'd like to ask you. Would you know of a builder in the USA that can design the horn based on my requirements so that I do not attempt to be a horn designer? I can get the design built locally.[/...

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...

The Morons™ at AA’s between selling to each other what they did not like and topping each other on their shoulders came up with a subject what horn installation would be if price would be no object. The question is semi-foolish as price is never ...

The first and the bigger thing that I like about them is that Anima is trying to use the vertical-horizontal configuration where the bell of the vertical horn serves as frame for horizontal channels. I love this idea and had a number of my own th...

Fostex T 500A MK 2 Horn Super TweeterArticle By Bill Gaw at www.enjoythemusic.com

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="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]
Herman, i...

[quote user="rdrysdale"] I mean that with a horn loaded compression driver, a strong motor, and a very light diaphragm, the attack and transients are more life like. Because the diaphragm can more precisely follow the recorded signal, the reproductio...

Hi Romy,
FYI: The previous photo of some unknown persons "pile o' horns" appears to be:
Upper midrange: 1" TAD TD-2002 mounted to 650Hz Edgarhorn
Supertweeter: Fostex T90A or T925A.
Lower midrange: ...

[QUOTE]So what is high end audio, then? I know for some it is the quest for
the perfect soundstage, but let us exclude them for the moment. Rather,
is it a way for us to become more connected to the Sound? In a sense,
like a crutch for an invalid ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]One issue that I would consider is that the Tractrix profile supposedly does not lend itself aswell to extremely low frequency horns (being too short) as other profiles in particular the Hypex (Salmon) shape. [/quote]

I am reading through those interesting threads.
I have just won a pair of S2 on ebay so I am interested in horns for them. I have fired an email to Vitavox Peter and I will get his diaphragms. Since my drivers are in UK, maybe he ...
