hi allin germany started a new company selling wood tractrix horn speakers :here the link :http://www.cessaro-horn-acoustics.com/angelo...
|
I wonder if anyone recognizes the drivers of the Cessaro Horn Acoustics? I thought that I know all of them but looking at Cessaro’s compression driver I have no idea what it is and I feel that my ego severally hurts. The pictures on the Cessaro site ...

I always said that the only goals that audio-reviewers is to drive the perception of their readers to the level stupidity or primitivism of a given product. As an illustration here is the Srajan Ebaen’s site. They came up with the Haliaetus review… i...

I happened to came across this site.

Hello Romy and everyone here, Thanks again for your thoughts on the large horns. It seems best to start a new thread, as previous threads dealing with the "10-Footer" originally began as discussions of other subjects. Romy, you may want to move previ...
|
Angelo, We should probably start a new thread to discuss horn construction in general, as this thread is about a specific aspect of that subject (driver to horn transition).To answer your question very quickly... As previously mentioned, I will ...

This is funny and depressing at the same time. Two readers of my site sent me unhappy emails informing me that my latest posts” “A typical upperbass horn mistake.” was juts my foolishness. Whatever they said boils down to following:
1) They do...

Romy,If making a Tractrix Horn to cover between 100Hz & 1000Hz do you have to choose an Fc or mouth size that equates to 50 Hz? I've often read, and don't know if its true, that tractrix horns actually need to have their Fc an octave lower t...

[quote user="caT"]Adding 1uf more and the horn being to sound like Altec horns…[/quote]Interesting. I'm wondering here if this is the key to eliminating the honkiness I hear in most horn installations. From your experiments, it seems that...

Here are some photos of Martin Sedon's 204Hz and 340Hz Le Cleac'h horns, which likely have more reasonable shipping charges and fit through doorways, etc. better than the 160Hz version. They have a T-factor (expansion rate) of T = 0.8, which was reco...

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...
|
Hi Romy, I've been following your progress, it seems that you are drawing some very similar conclusions to what Steve Schell and I have learned. The bass horn has to be the proper size in order to work well, we are having ext...

Hi, Tim. This is difficult question, and it is difficult in it’s abstractivnes. I really do not understand, or understand but refuse to acknowledge the validity of the word “respectable”. How valid for YOU would be a “reputation” of this driver if it...

[quote user="Antonio J"] INTEGRATION that's the clue and that's what I always feel lacks in my room, I mean extreme integration, real integration, the feeling that the recorded bass sound has its own boundaries, not my room's. [/quote]

YoshiIt should not be a problem for you to borrow one of those plastic 150-200 Hz horns for your REPS .For restricted band as you're using it , it may sound interesting. I can imagine that other owners/users of Reps would be horryfied by the way you'...

Someone stopped me at the Alexis Park and told me: “Romy, there is a new Israeli guy in town with his amassing horn. He has a room at the St. Tropes and you should go”. I was almost offended! There was a new horn g...

hello again Romy, cats, friends...
I built this horn for Ming Su, the Goto USA importer... I have posted on your site before about midbass and bass horns... I listen to eight foot straight 45 Hz horns... and as partial payment on this commission ...
|
A visitor of my site, presumably it is someone from GOTO, sent me email informing that GOTO made a new midbass horn. My enthusiastic applauses to GOTO as former GOTO bass-horns were very bad and not serious.

Very cool, James, it would be very interesting if you put your ears into an investigation of “Ooopsy back chamber.” I was wondering about the A45 Lowther as well. The 125Hz midbass horns that you made, how big the input hole in there? The attempt to ...

Hello,
I've just come across this ground shaking project:
"Royal Device has on its own developped and built in Italy the biggest subwoofer of the world for an AUDIO/VIDEO room that can be also considered as the greatest AUDIO ROOM for private m...

I spoke about the minimum proximity of a crossover point to the horn rate but there was one very fine point that I did not address and that I never have seen voiced. We have a horn and the driver of the horn is properly crossed, far enough to escape ...
|
A horn basically directs acoustic energy in a single focused direction, maximizing the efficiency with which the air mass to moved by acoustic waves is coupled to the driver. The best thing is to read a good book that covers the basics in simpl...

Just a quick note ,I went over to Germany and listened to a pair of Cessaro Alpha's at the home of TW Acoustic's Thomas Woschnick, I thought them absolutely superb, far more 'real' than any other speaker I have heard, ( impossible to hear everything ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, no doubt the following derives wholly from my ignorance on the subject, but I have not been able to get away from a sense of "variable compression" with any compression horns I have tried. By "variable compression" I ...

Hi Romy,Your the first person that I have seen that seems to have actually made PP tube amps work with compression horn drivers. It has been my experience that PP amps don't like the low watt operating range. I supose it all is a matter o...

I will have to get me a DAYTIME JOB again, so I can afford such things!Looking forward to playing with other things Audio for a while, particularly Vinyl.The sound is very pleasant....
