Thanks for your advice Romy and Stefano.I have used RTA with condenser mic in my past systems but I admit I am no professional at it. But I am not clueless with it either.. In my previous setup when I was playing with open baffle designed speakers, ...

Hi Romy:as I don't consider the thread as emptied, yet, I'd wish to add some thoughts after more days of listening to my system.I re-read an half-page chapter in French from Jean Hiraga's "Les Hautparleur" essay, concerning time-alignement and p...

No, the speakers like Altec 19 have time miss-aligned drivers. The majority of 3-4 way horn speakers with oken/jensn as a bass that you might see in internet also very seldom time-aligned but it is excusable as the DIY-audio people are mostly Morons ...

I tend to think that we are not copying Romy, but more that he has generated a school of thought on audio and yes horns speakers also.I too have a system following some of the Macondo Axioms, but have used all diferent drivers.As with other drivers, ...

In his latest YouTube,Romy mentioned using my prepro to time align my drivers.I use the Trinnov Altitude 16 prepro which has a total of 20 channels. 16 of the channels have balanced analog outputs and the othe four Channels use the rca and optical sp...

Well, I think that you should first read about Romys Macondo speakers. There are several threads with his thoughts that should help you get away from the DIY approach that did not give you the results that you expected. You have experienced first han...

Thanks for the wise, simple instructions, Roman, also useful to others, I believe... that's what I actually do since I - 'twas ONLY 15 months ago... - became conscious of the limits of my tuning-by-ear and got my IVIE IE-30 with Class A measurement m...

Yes, this Model 19's have brand new foam surround and brand new refinish grills. I know what kind rebound distortions those kind of horns create without surround foam but the miserly that they crate is much more than this. I do not know what kind cr...

I do not know, I do not see a lot of sense on bookshelf horn construction. The core of topology resets to bookshelf configuration. A horn but it very basic nature is bandpass devise. As soon you introduce a horn then you automatically truncate th...

[quote user="serenechaos"]Romy, Any thoughts yet as to Injection Channel location/integration in new room? Selfish question, I recently got a pair of reds, and have been trying to think of how to place them/type of enclosure to build, without distur...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"]The Western Electric L-9 in Munich was/is an infinite baffle design. The 754B woofers are in a sealed enclosure with a front horn. There is no possibility of cancellation between front wave and back wave of speaker, so I wou...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] Yeah, but plywood is cheap and the result is audibly noticeable. Baffle extensions were recommended for all of the Altec VOT cabinets too. Make a big improvement for cheap if you have the space.
As the frequency dec...

plywood bit the placement cost if the speakers have this type wings.
Sure, for monophonic films in 40s and multitude listeners in this it was
not a problems but for contemporary stereophonic sound it make the

The direction of lansing was the main factor of speakers not W.E. Just look at the phase plug on the W.E HF drivers and look at the phase plug on the lansing Hf drivers this is were it all went down hill. Your mid and Hf drivers from lansing took the...

Well written article, I think, and he is good enough to share right away that he is a "vintage" guy, and an AN guy, which helps me contextualize his observations, even though he does not reveal the nature of the $$$$$$ "ultimate horn speakers" (...

Well, Yoshi, at least you're on your way to getting your speakers more of a piece.I have for some time warned people against a mix-n-match approach with the DEBZs, based on my early experiments with them, and it is true enough to say, I think, that&n...

[quote user="ayebee"]An observation that might only be of superficial interest to the thread: I don't think the speakers use Klangfilm woofers. The pictures are a bit grainy, but the dustcaps look far too big for the original Bionor woofers. I would ...

I guess I am the lucky one! I met my wife through music, we both were writing ambient/experimental stuff back then but did not have much of a chance to have face to face time, just exchanging music and being in different cities, well... Fast forward ...

For instance the narrowing distance between the channels increase the width of that damn audiophile’s soundstage, whatever it worth. Generally the setting the speakers wider from each other make soundstage wider. Yes, wit...

I'm following with interest the thread and must say that I'm baffled: Goto's "instructions" are - SIMPLY said - a mix between non-existent and wrong... I love what Goto's did in my system... BUT I think I did more with "my own" care, "my own" taste, ...

Moreart, 6,5" and 8" drivers are not big enough even for reproducing midrange, not no mention midbass.You say (quote taken from your website):"By processing certain overtones selectively, a rich bass effect can be created using the small speakers whi...

Here are a few answers1. a, 84 Hz b, 4.8 inches square c, Hyperbolic exponential, T 0.8 1/2 Pi d, none so far on upper bass horn. S2 and 2405 have series capacitors feeding them. e, Eminence Kappa 12. 4. Both tweeter and S2 ca...

Thanks, Romy, for your generous reply.
I won't try to address everything about everything, but let me bore
you with a mini-history of what is going on with my playback so you
will understand where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to ...

[quote user="AOK_Farmer"]Romy, I don't see a wine rack in the view of the speakers. I believe that the wine needs music to age properly, just as we do. A dark cellar is said to have advantages but the fish down there are albinos. Perhaps some researc...

I have never heard of any woofer that manages 50Hz lower cut off frequency in a horn arrangement. The simple fact is that a woofer does not emit sound under the resonance frequency (that is without artificially changing that, ie active). The resonanc...
