[quote user="oxric"] My mistake. I should not use the term Lecleach on this site. [/quote]
There is absolutely nothing prohibitive in Lecleach profile, it works very nice for HF but the La profile shall not be used in cases where vertical clea...

[quote user="Paul S"]It seems from following these threads that no one so far has been content to stay focused on recreating the accidental success of the original Dunnoy/Dannoy. Is this because no one can actually recreate the original, or is it bec...

[quote user="haralanov"] So the tweeter is always needed. The bad thing is it deforms (in 99,9999999999999999999% of the cases) the perfectly round audio window, formed by the midrange channel and "pull" some notes sometimes at its axis. These are of...

I've been thinking abut this question form several angles. Firstly practical.I thought I'd better see what low bass sounds like. And to get some idea of placement possibilities. So I set up my LS3/5as in the (rather cold) un-converted barn. Couldn't ...

I have been lurking here for a while and am fascinated at the discussions of TONE. I play trumpet professionally in Germany and have many opportunities to experience big rooms and big pipe organs as well as symphony halls with various degrees of acou...

I never knew that it will be so much fun. As I started the basement cleanup project I did kind of remotely conceptualize that I will try to make a winter pipe smoking place. Instead I discover in my house a new listening room that I have to tell you ...

Last week I spent a few hours at the scene of NY’s Stereophile Show – HE 2004: a half-day on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. As many other audio-shows it had many semi-ugly colorations, however as any audio shows this zoo trip brought it’s own “inter...

Yesterday I have a great listening time. I sent Amy with twins
to her parents. I put Thomas to sleep in his room and as he woke up I set him
to watch his Caillou for hours and I went to my listening room to have nice quality
time with my playback....

There is nothing in playback system that is as devastating as remote control. A remote control is something that easily converts a listener into a zombie audio-Moron™ – thanks God the there is very fertile contingent of candidates among audiophi...

People, keep asking me about the sound of Melquíades and I feel strange as I really can’t not explain how it sounds. It does not make any sense as I initiated this thread with the objective to explain or at least to inform about the Melquíades’ sound...

It is funny that as I bought the house I did not have any use for this room, in fact I did not even liked this room but with recent event I truly developed appreciation of the room. I totally rebuilt the decor of the room, converting it to the ve...

I few days ago an audio guy visited me. I under normal circumstances do not allow regular audio people of "this type" in my listening room, but this was the situation that I needed to do it. I said the “audio people of this type”, what did I mean? W...

"When I moved my system
and was just learning the new room and making changes, I was also
listening to more Bach than usual. I mostly wanted to play Partitas,
Inventions, Preludes, and Goldberg Variations. I was tu...

Yes, it's might be interesting. I was thinking about it when I had both systems back to back. It was superbly interesting time for me. The decisions to remove Macondo from my listening room was a result of unadulterated anger I felt because in my...

Paul,
I have been working with trumpets since 1966 and horn speakers since 1975. I have built both and am pretty familiar with what they are, the similarities and the differences.If I had to pick THE major sin when thinking about all of the horns th...

user="Bill"] For Romy's method to work perfectly, there should be no
ambiance in the recording so that he can fill in the room ambiance with his
stored reflections program. I don't think how many mikes used would make a
difference, just la...

Thanks for your comments, Romy.Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems ...

It was 7 years ago. I was living in downtown Boston for 16
years and enjoying the opportunity to step out of my apartment at 3AM and to
meet women who can afford plastic surgery. Then I felt that I was getting to
old to be in city and I move to s...

[quote user="skushino"] The sub arrived before the main speakers, so I practiced integration with my existing speakers. They are rated full range to 20Hz, so I expected little change in performance. Instead, what I noticed with the additi...

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

Haralanov, I partially know what you are talking about and I got my sense of it when I added the Fundamentals and Insertion channels. They both are position above MF and act as nice compliment to Macondo upperbass horn. I still do not know if the...
