I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Well romy will probably disagree or maybe find it off topic but I am sorry there is huge margins built in somewhere if someone is trying to sell me wood cabinets with TAD drivers for 140k $. One of you guys can ...

Well, I never felt that for prototyping I need more then one-channels crossover as by use of the poor sounding prototyping crossovers I never look at the system in it’s entirely but rather for the “technical listing” of just two channels that I...

Further looking at where I would like to take the new 6-chennal version of the Super Milq I am contemplating a new revision of my bass channel output transformer. Currently I have Jack Elliano’s made 450mA, large, single section LF transformer that b...

I am quite fascinated with the result that I might get from MiniME and at the same time I am defensive with the direction it takes. Anyhow, here is how it stands…
The decision to go for MF driver was I think right one. Even the 70-20RX tweeter has s...

Despite the tremendous popularity of the single-ended amplifiers have a certain group of audio people, let to be honest: the SETs do not sound REAL in audio people’s listening rooms. I was in many of those listening rooms and have heard many best SET...

Chirag, First off all you have to define what do you want from them. If at this moment you’re looking for something within $700 then very next year, when you finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range… :-) Now a lit...

That is a fancy one, with vacuum caps as I can see it. I do
not know about the practicality of vacuum caps – they have own pluses and minuses.
Still, that is nice crossover, a bit more complicated then I initially thought I
has to be. It would be ...

Yesterday I got two emails asking me about Lamm ML3. I replied as I usually do, saying that I that I do not practice in satisfaction in audio-consumer curiosity. Still, it made me to think again about a hypothetic amp around GM-70.I am not a fa...

[quote user="Gregm"]It doesn't seem prudent to look at the speaker without considering the amplifier at all. We would be designing a speaker that would work with a theoretical amp -- but not one that's available.[/quote]

Ok, the Headphone “Baby Melquiades” protect is over. Well, kind of over as there are some issues still are hanging in there.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If I were in your situation and have 2m long 100Hz horn that
I like then I would not dive into any 200Hz la-horns. Make your 200Hz horn up-to

[quote user="speedysteve"]Well, I think

A lot of people ask me about those drivers and I’ll try to compile my vision about them. I did try most of the possible tweeters: dome tweeters with cloth cones, varies type of hard metal domes, compression drivers with aluminum, titanium, phenolic a...

[quote user="ulf"]One advantage of the use of a phase plug in a midbass horn is that it will beam less at higher frequenzies than a horn without phase plug. If the phase plug is designed for the specific horn and driver it will help "steer" the HF.
