Well, I do have 3 channels of DSEP. Dedicated Single Ended Pentode: one channel (bass/mid 30-500 Hz) with a 307A DH pentode feeding two wonderful Fane neodymium Colossus 12" - one from FS to 150 Hz and the second from FS to 500 Hz. OPT with a lot of ...

I have heard several Tannoy speakers in the past, but have never heard the quality of sound Romy has obtained with his brain child. I don't know whether it is the speakers alone or his setup which has allowed his system to enthrall so much more than ...

Hi Romy - Yes, the sub is Bruce's seismic. It is big as a refrigerator, and the idea of having 2 huge boxes in this little room is, well, intriguing.... Being new to subs, isn't there an obvious danger of over loading this little room wit...

Thanks for your comments, Romy.Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems ...

I noticed quite a few speakers, various configurations, that sounded more like a collection of nice drivers wired together that what I would call a "speaker." I mean that you could clearly hear distinct tone, character differences between each ...

HiWell I am fairly new to active speakers. I've been in contact with Merlin and Guy in the UK about these type of speakers and their experiences. I'm just taking it all in and then going forward making a few mistakes and then learning about them!&nbs...

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...

Bruce Edgar room was probably the only rooms at the entire show where form my prospective it was possible to begin to talk about "pure audio", so I will.
Bruce picked and smartly holds at "The Show" a wondefull room, the small room, but fr...

[quote user="msaudio"]If you put your speakers in the back extra bedroom, you could have your cake and eat it 2. You will have a normal living room and your headphones sound that you love from small room will be back and better then ever and it don't...

[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...

OK, Romy, maybe more like, the presence of Music. I felt like I was getting good sound, but I wanted more of it, with "an expanding sense of it", including better "center fill". We have talked here about the technical/electrical problems inherent in ...

[quote user="drdna"]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 h...

I've been thinking abut this question form several angles. Firstly practical.I thought I'd better see what low bass sounds like. And to get some idea of placement possibilities. So I set up my LS3/5as in the (rather cold) un-converted barn. Couldn't ...

I think the most room friendly and the most universal Danley speaker is the SM60. It has a 5 inch coax and two 8 inch bass speaker in a tricky molded horn, and small, light enough to use it with a standard telescopic pro speaker stand and keep it abo...

Romy,In response to your response to what I did not say but implied....I decided to put the question here instead, where the light of enquirey might shine upon several different facets of investigation.Firstly, I'm still interested to know if you are...

Mani, I am not talking about the Zu when I say that there is little chance of just buying and plugging in any given ready-made component into any given system and getting Music, ever. If anyone asks me, I always say, think of speakers-amps-room as on...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy,
I find the Veravox 5 drivers are strong contenders when searching for elevated sensitivity 5" drivers. I heard the Veravox 5X in combination with Shindo SET electronics and found it very natural-sounding. Both 5ers have cer...

Paul S:DSET is a very high power solution to a question that I only have a very primitive understanding of. It is not right for me at this time.I would prefer if the model etc. of my speakers not be involved in this discussion. I know I am committing...

Haralanov, I've spun this thread off the "Speakers for a Powerful SET" thread, as you suggested. I took a couple of pictures, but I can't figure out how to upload them, just yet. I'm also not sure what you could see from the outside, anyway.As for th...

Interesting concept but let me point out a few considerations.The diffusor does performs a mild "equalization" function if you want to call it that but it is also an aid to dispersion. It is light "EQ"...3dB might be about right. Without any diffusor...

The more-driver/more-power method has in fact been used to very good effect in rooms that +/- eat bass. The set-up I remember had about 8 515s per side and LOTS of power that I suppose it did not actually use very often; but it did provide nice,...

I'm curious about how you set up your horns in the room.From photos it looks as if they are fairly close together, compared to the wide setting you suggested I try, while our room dimensions are fairly similar?When I started pushing the horns apart a...
