[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Jessie’s comments about my idea to position midbass straight horns from basement, upper- firing and his warning that the horn will get converted into a giant garbage can made me to think. I did not think about it but it is ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I have not heard any other systems using Vitavox S2 drivers, but I know it is possible to get the S2 to generate on-axis unpleasentries. In the case of the system I am building, one can happily sit straight in the firing ...

Jessie, absolutely wonderful. Dima used the very same techniques to build his own MF horn. BTW, I made in past a prototype horn with similar idea that ended up disasters because of my stupid “willingness”. While I was applying plaster I spared ...

I still feel that computer CD readers are not good but I do it might not be ONLY their fault. Most of the today machines have CD-Rom that juts spin too fast and it is imposable to make a CD-Rom to read at 1x speed. There is many custom softwares that...

Ok, now see why the French cars, all of those Peugeots, Citroens and Renaults, are as bad as they are: because Jessie instead of working is listening his headphones. The media to play at work: would it be hard drive of CD player is irrelevant. I do p...

[quote user="oxric"] Of more importance to me are the resonance frequency and sensitivity to environmental vibrations of steel especially in a monopod configuration. [/quote] Well, the resonance frequency of frame is the subject sucked out of nowhere...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Is this because of the way you are driving them?When testing my one completed mid-bass horn (AK151 into 40Hz Exponential with 8" throat), and powering it from an amp that drives everything from upper bass to HF, the output...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] To that I would only add the following: Start saving up now for a second pair of S2s.[/quote]
Yes and no. I used the second S2 for lower MF range but it is not only way to go. I would propose that any driver with large a...

BTW, the Jessie, since you will be apparently mingling with you PP converting it into Euvro (Romynism form European Voltage) then you might find the comments of the PS Audio owner worth attention. Sure, not when his older PP is archaic product he is ...

Jessie, since I got my amps I have followed Romy's suggestion and recycled swapped-out V2s into V1 service. As it happens, I do not run V2s (or V1s) over a year, but I have had no problems of any kind that I can relate to following the annual V2-to-V...

Jessie,
When I spoke that I would go most likely for exponential I did not mean the Exponential vs. Hyperbolic but rather that it would not be a Tractrix. I have no specific preferences for Exponential, Hyperbolic or any other long profiles. A commo...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...

First of all, season's greetings to all. I have been thinking about this issue for a few months now and was reluctant to post a question in case it was premature! There must always be some niggling doubt whether any real estate adventure will materia...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I completely agree, and will use the driver that sounds best with a 40Hz exponential horn. I have both versions of this driver, and have listened to them both in an A/B situation, out of the horn; I remember noting the...

My curiosity peaked with Jessie Dazzle’s last few posts. I realized that, in France, he receives 220v, 50 Hz power. I then recalled Romy’s post at http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=1177#1177. I was wondering i...

I did put some gasketing under the driver, not thought but to so what it will do. I used the substance that I described above. It is Home Depot 3207680110 or the model #DS110 Pug duct seal by GB Electrical. The best thing about it that it is that pla...

[quote]Also, Jessie, there is another very important point. A construction of your systems should not be a pure DIY efforts or it will be just another stupid DIY project. Your should have none-DIY objectives and use those horns to resolve those none-...

Discussing the Jessie project we multiple times mention the idea of the large midbass horn handing above MF section. Where else the 7”-9” might be positioned? The rational was to have it positionally contra-react the output of the upperbass horn. It ...

Jessie, in the configurations of the horns and derivers that you are building your mid channels do not exposed too much to stresses. It is not that you have a situation when 1/4 octave more and less will send your channels into suffocation - your hor...

op.9,
to put your comment I perspective it is necessary to know what surface you had on your Lecleach horns before. If you search the site (use world textured or structured) then you would know that I am a vocal opponent of smooth surfaces on horns....

I pretty much know what I need to do – I need to go for shaper filter built in my power amp. The second order I have no is too impactful to midbass, so I need to do for 2th order or perhaps for 4th and try to integrate it. Whatever it will be I thin...

Do you know something more about AMR new DAC? There is no mention on their site....I would be extremely interested on the results of such comparison.[/quote]Nope, I did not pursue it.

Jessie, looks nice. I never did it myself and can not appreciate the labor went into it. Horn-wise everything looks well- thought out. I personally would probably go for a monopod frame above the midbass horn (mergeing it in middle) as I feel it make...

Yes, Jessie, thanks for the idea.
I was looking over all of them and currently set my eyes on the Sherlin single single-axis 8" manual slide:

It should be Om and it is in black. I would need to attach a hor...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I don’t have a pair of Melquaid DSETs. I drive the horns with a pair of Lamm ML2s, running full range. I use a second pair of M1.1s for lower bass. The ML2s are hard to fault. In fact at this point, I can only find positi...
