Hello, Angelo
[quote user="angeloitacare"]The best sound i remember, and never forgot, was at Holger Frommes Home, from Avantgarde Acoustic, the trios. I never heard something better. [/quote]
Yes, Avantgarde can do it if the situation is right. I ...

Thanks, Jeff. Another reader also e-mailed to me the name of the horn (Tineo Horn), and I used it to find this "shopping" link:

[quote user="manisandher"]Hi Dima,Do you know if this is similar to the approach Tim de Paravicini took in his direct-coupled amp placed inside a Quad? I'm currently using Quad speakers (I gave up on the horn approach through sheer frustration) and i...

I read the review of the Magico Ultimate and I have to say I was disgusted. I am sure there are many self-proclaimed audiophiles who took the TAS trembling into their bathrooms like teenage boys with the newest issue of Playboy to drool over th...

Why do you care what Robert Harley, TAS or the people from Magico have to say?Why does it matter whether the reputation of horn loaded loudspeakers gets sullied in some way by these people? No manufacturer that I know of does it properly anyway. The ...

Romy,you did not disappoint my expectation in your reply. Who can argue with the take: "bugger off and do some home-work"? On the other hand, when looking through that "Knowledge tree TM" it's more of a "forest" as far as horns are concerned. So it's...

Hello Romy and everyone, I am going to order a pair of 400Hz/1" tractrix horns from http://www.stereo-lab.de/tractrix.html to replace/compare with a pair of 500Hz TAD-like square mouth horns. These are to be used initially with the drivers that ...

The previous response I posted, 'Partial Disclosure For The Sake Of Clarity', assumes you are referring to the second prototype of my proposed design. (The base design is the same, with the exception that it uses one driver instead of two.)[quo...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I agree its terrible, but the concept they are talking about sounds familiar and it would seem they'd be achieving some of the effect by adding in NXT panels in some way.They invite interested parties to email them. T...

Thanks The CatI'm posting the pics of the build as I progress so people can see and pass on ideas, that's all. Are you suggesting you don't want horn projects shown on your site? I had earlier outlined the design, including cross-over points etc.I as...

Warning. Do not try to purchase these Vitavox horns from the following site. https://www.shoppok.com/atlanta/a,49,418526,Vitavox-Cn-191-Corner-Horn-Speakers.htmPurchased them supposedly through reputable escrow company in England. Since they received...

[quote user="Vasyachkin"]has anybody tried a horn speaker with a dipole bass section ?[/quote]Well, I must say that I have tried dipole bass in a few configurations, including dipole bass plus horn, however I think this is completely immaterial to th...

how the Western Electric L-9 was made but I think it is not sealed

cloth enclosures that you, Joe, might recognized as sealed.[/quote]The L-9...

Is speakers like altec 19 have time aligned drivers? I think I have never seen in internet time aligned 3-4 way horn speakers with oken/jensn as a bass.Slowly I am closer to finish my first speakers with horns, the frame is adjustable (35-45cm drive...

I lost all hope for horn loaded Lowther speakers . Got Phile Mikey (fremmer) recommended TT and new old MC cartrige (benz Mc3) so analong front sounds comparable to old modded MCintosh CD player I have. I finished (took al ong time ) Hagerman c...

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 research into how the music of Sc...

OK, would you say the weak link would then be:1) Just the topology of Lamhorn (single driver with back-loaded horn appendix)2) Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general3) Or any single driver loudspeaker in generalOr perhaps a better quest...

I do not do anything with my Opera Room, and I am not sure if I will. Still, from time to time I pick from the tree of possibilities some very kinky fruits. My love to Mussurgsky is know and last weekend I visited my local audio guy who has a very go...

This there is the last in the “THE PROBLEMS WITH HORNS” cycle. The previous threads might be found at:

This would be probably the most contro...

[quote user="Winnie"]In talking with Shelly Katz a few days ago, I brought up the topic of how sound is perceived in the context of layered sound or indeed oops. He is a very busy man and we did not have long to develop the conversation, but this is ...

Of course we do not defend or support a given topology itself but we only wrestle with the results we are able to get from it. Right? But perhaps there are some basics we can agree on? Basically, if it's Tone you are after, you are swimming upstre...

Hi Romy, As a recent convert to horn-speakers I have greatly enjoyed trawling through your website and I have learnt plenty not only about horns but also about questioning my own motives and the desired end result of a possible "from scratch" spe...

actually I'm from Iran and needless to say we are stock in the middle of nowhere here (sanctions,...) so we weren't able to hear much of the horn speakers, so we started to think we should do it ourselves because we are able to obtain CDs much easier...

To me the big green drivers in the midbass horn look like old Siemens Klangfilm or Telefunken (or other German manufacturer) 10 inch units. Maybe 12 inch... I had a pair of 8 inch Klangfilm once and they do have interesting tone across a couple of oc...

Outdoor performances always seem to me to fall short of indoor ones, and there are plenty of reasons why this should be so, but there is something attractive about a horn installation in a garden...it ought really to be made of rock, of course, f...

Dear Romy, thank you for your opinion. Did you see and hear them if you are talkig about the quality? In Munchen High End Exhibition 2016 Evolution speakers celebrates big success in demo with KRaudio Kronzilla amp.http://positive-feedback.com/show-r...

There are a few at least theoretical backdraws for the Array in my view.Of course having a lot of different drivers playing at the same frequency implies that all of them should work in perfect unison, if one starts lagging a little bit it will mess...

Since I last posted there has been some progress to my indoor and my outdoor systems. Indoors I have added a pair of tapped subs. I must say that I am quite happy with these. Of course they are not as good as full size front loaded horns but still a ...
