Good question, rowuk, particularly by the fact that you are
looking a way not how to get it but to understand the ways to get there. Also,
I am very glad that you are not taking about “slam music” but about, where good
bass certainly shine but abo...

I was listening last night the HF section of MiniMe. It was interesting and frankly very promising. The RAAL 70-20XR were fine and he JBL5 did splendid. They are not properly integrated, were not measured and were made up to work together well, it wa...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I would think they might also compete with the mid-bass horns. The Auras can run up to 80, maybe 90Hz (you're probably going to say "60Hz max!!!"); would you really need to use the line arrays in the presence of a pair...

Looks fine, Anthony. I am not sure what resonance frequency tells
you. Anyhow, a great advantage of your pipe topology for LF is that you will be
able to pile up as many drivers as you need in order to hit the desired
reference DB level. There is...

I do have platy of space and the LF section for K-Horns might
be a very interesting idea to try. The Vitavos was dese to use in the UK replica
of K-Horn. I never liked the K-Horn too much as they always project imaging that
is “flat” in the wall. ...

While the aftermath of the midbass horn project is not over I am strategizing how I might implement Macondo’s LF section. The leading idea is to bolt a triangular shape sealed enclosure juts behind the small wall that cover the load bearing beam from...

Sucks! I moved the bass channels around the room and looks like this huge bump around of 60 Hz the right channel has because the “rotunda” that I have on right (the equipment bay) acts as Helmholtz resonator. Regarding the reason, I do not see now to...

Hi, Andrew
Yes, the move from BLH to front-loaded is a large move but besides everything it is a very drastic way to review HOW the channels are positioned relative to each other and relative to the room. With front-loading the subject of phas...

Skushino, Thanks for pointing it out. Unfortunately with all my desire to understand what CH Audio did turn to fiasco and I absolutely do not understand this LF section. Is it a duplex of 515 drivers with one loaded in this front shallow front horn a...

Well, it is a bit more complex then what you wrapped up in your la...

Got last night the last bass drivers for MiniMe’s bass sections and put them all together. Even thought I still have problems with MiniMe uppers channels (the Fostex F120A drivers are still hatching) but the bass sections turned out to be very good. ...

Interesting that someone has mentioned Tannoys in context of the upperbass thread. I still wait that someone with sane taste and unadulterated perception of results would load a LF section of Tannoy Red or Silver into a front-loaded 70Hz -80Hz horn a...

[quote user="Paul S"]So, separate wipers only for injection and HF, or are there other means to adjust relative levels amongst/between all channels?[/quote] The Injection, HF, and Fundamental (via speaker level LPAD) are the only channels that need a...

Morning,I'm not disputing what you heard, but your conclusion that the LF must modulate the tweeter section can't possibly be right. 0.047uF is a -3db rolloff of 34Hz. If you're saying that over 0.68uF was fine, then by implication 0.47uF is not as g...

Drdna, generally I would not agree that your assessment of the EdgarHorns is correct. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in them that would prevent them to "disappear" in the room. [/quote]Well, this is good news.&nbs...
|

Yes, Jessie, but in case you decide to go for DSET, would it be multi-channel Melquiades or anything else, then your consideration for type and topology of the lower bass would greatly dictate requirements for your DSET. If your lower bass channels r...

Angelo,
I care less about the “commercially available” objectives, honestly it is too boring.
However, whatever you do not be distracted that what you are making will be reminding Avantgardes. The Avantgarde Trio Classic (in vertical configuration)...

[quote user="Gregm"]Actually, that could be a viable commercial product: a "stereo am"p allowing for four channels. One hi side, one low side, per channel.Any moron purchasing this could be stratosphrically happy flabbergasting his pals by "passively...

The kids are growing up and twins sleep fine and walk already.
So, the Bessnow’s household is calming down, a live-in nanny for sure helps…

Ronny, it is funny because I was juts about to carve my further observations about the Sound of my monitors. Last night I was listening Rigoletto by Callas and Gobbi on my monitor. I come to an interesting observation that I would like Monitors...

Ok, I did play today with the MiniMe. I have to tell that then it turn black I kind got soften with it does not look to me as large and violent as I initially thought. I made some measurement and some listening. I peaty much know what I want to be an...

[quote user="haralanov"] There is a huge difference in sound with hard and soft (sand based) walls even at 1mm excursion from the driver. [/quote]

The best hi-fi LF I have heard came from modified "pro" units (multi-15s) that had a LOT of power thrown at them; and furthermore, the system was "managed" by an... equalizer (albeit, done in real time...). This is not to speak of its FR performance...

Mani, congratulations with Pacific.
You will not have problems to drive with balanced Pacific your single-ended amp. Juts buy a good quality XLR to RCA adapter or order XLR to RCA cable and you will be set. You do not even need to care about t...

Well, why not go 1st order with those little "woofers"? And I suppose you will be glad that you've isolated the MF, too.Unless you just get lucky, it looks like the MF/HF XO might be dropping. I am not familiar with the 2105, but dependin...

Actually my leading though how to put one ass on all impedance chars is to have 5K primary with 12-16 coils of secondary. The 4K would be fine load for 2A3 type of pates. It would not be difficult to remap the secondaryes to get 7K-8K that would be O...

[quote user="Antonio J."]then it will be worth exploring. I have always missed in my playback the way the air in a concert hall gets filled of sound, as if notes and specially their armonics were flowing upwards. The TU-X1 does that trick quite nicel...
|
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] BTW, pay attention that TU-X1 while doing “space” does not change the size of imaging. Pay also attention how sensitively TU-X1 portrays the acoustic environment of each performing hall… BTW, if you use TU-X1 then try...
