After spending two weeks with high-passed Celestion SL-600 reinforced with external LF section I would like to make some observations. I had a single SL-600 monitor (I always tend to use one for assessment purpose) on it’s original stands in the very...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Assuming one will not get anything under 50Hz (usable) from a 40Hz horn, I interpret the mission of lower-bass channels in the context of a horn system as follows….[/quote]
Hm, this is a bit tricky with bass. A pla...

Here is my proposal for an ideal horn system. The concept derives from the really of the horns as I know them, the available park of the drivers, the drivers’ real capacity and from… everything else that I might comment upon if you would not figure o...

Well, in my formers listening
room I had music ran by horns and I had two line array with 12 driver driven by
SS aps to pump room with 20Hz low pass filter. Do not forgets that the filter
was sitting on transition slope and it was 0dB at 20Hz and ...

Dear Romy, regarding your efforts to solve variations in mains power supply, there has been an interesting thread on RAT related to the use of toroids as power transformers that morphed into a discussion about the level of DC offset in mains power su...

[quote user="anthony"]There should be an 111dB tap
on the Lazy Ribbon, but perhaps you have tried that already. Other than
that, perhaps talk to RAAL to see if they can improve the sensitivity a little
more with a transformer change (or something...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...

Well, I kind of begin to think what kind LF solution I might
have in the new room. The ULF might be fun to load on the ceiling in the way
how I described above. For the midbass I most likely will go for the
line-arrays with my beloved Scan Speak 2...

Playing with B-2 power amp I made an experiment and instead of loading to it the MiniMe Bass section I loaded the B-2 with Macondo’s bass arrays. I made add-hog attenuator and coil to EQ MiniMe MF with Macondo’s bass and gave some listening. It w...

Today I spent a few hours to calibrate the Macondo and Milq.
One of the drivers from Macondo was gunner and the rest was more of less stable.
I did some initial measurements. It was not impressive. I do have approximately
3-4 db deficiency on left...

[quote user="Rewind"]Hi, I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. [/quote] OK, but it is not how I feel about the service of injection...

This is kind of funny. I got another B2 amp a few days back. It was near new condition, at least inside. As I plug it to drive my ULF I felt that it produces some kind of strange bass. I did not like it at all and it was very different then what ...

Well, I have post able a number of articles about different aspects of Purepower 2000 operation and sound. I could make a few more but I think it is enough for now. I would like to drop a few general observation and conclusion.

Collin,I am pleased that you found my suggestions worthwhile.

I was listening last night a string quartet rehearsal. The play was for the most part justifiably non-so-glorious and I was thinking about my little audio things. For sure our upper MF drivers nowhere near where they need to be. There is too much...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, it might sound as a heresy to you, but I personally
consider the impedance curve is a bit irrelevant in this application. In this application
you need to care only about only 2 things: if you have enough power in yo...

Actually it is very interesting question and I almost feel you pain for decision you will be making. I do not think that anyone would be able to express any arbitral opinion about the subject, as least an opinion that worth to follow. You see, buildi...
