[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Even though quantivly and structurally bass is correct but it is not what I am looking. [/quote] Last night I got rid the SMS crossover. I built in the 28Hz, 12dB per octave crossover in the Yamaha B2 amp that I use f...

As we are looking for our new home I am slowly simmering in
my mind the ideas about new midbass horns. It is not that I am short for ideas
but I am not sure that I will take my family on a bumpy and costly ride to build
new horns. One way or anoth...

Since I finalized how my midbass horn handles decay the only things left in my playback is to set the right level and cut off point of my ULF channel. Formerly I did set it up for 35Hz, second order and it was fine as a temporary setting. However in ...

Since I change the transformer I picked some harmonics and now I feel that my midbass has a bit too long roll off. I moved the second low pass filter close to the first filter. After a very careful listening and some thinking I ended up with setting ...

[/quote]As successful I am with the midbass horns as problematic the situation with the lower frequency channel. I do have the good location for my LF channel and I setup the DC SS amp with line-level filter at 28Hz. The ...

Murat,
I was looking at your midbass horn design and I am wondering, how are you planning to time align that long midbass with the rest of the channels that seem to be time aligned. I mean, currently the midbass is phys...

[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.

Ok, I did try the 4th order filter and it did not sound as I wanted. The 3rd order is right slope foe my room but I need to go for custom filters separately dedicated for right and left channels. The problem is my right channel with the att...

Mr. Lang, very interesting what you are talking about cones. Does your company or you personally have a capacity to do custom aluminium Görlich–like cones by customer specification? I ask because I have some interest in the subject. I was approached ...

Thanks, Ric. At this point “specificity” of the sings positioning is not my primary interest but I rather am looking into strategic and conceptual solutions. For instance the Jessie’s idea to use attic and ceiling for midbass entry is very lucrati...

As the builder behind these horns, I can answer some of your questions. It's true, I was primarily focused on the woodworking/building side, and now I'm experimenting with amplification and crossovers. I can't speak authoritatively on those subjects...

As some of your might know I am not huge in Mahler. It is not that I hate Mahler and his music but I do not like how Mahler music is customary being played. They play Mahler like it is some kind of scared porcupine, sticking out his needles; I do not...

This is left channel. Right channel is mirror image.I am using 6db active crossovers all around.The subs are pair of 18" Aurasound 1808 per side. The current midbass is the white color horn you see. It is Funktion One DS15. The issue with this one i...

I was thinking about a space-economical way to arm playback with midbass 50Hz horn. It is not that I am into it myself but conceptually I was wondering how to put all of necessarily things within a minimum compromise in minimum footprint. I came up w...

I got this new midbass horn to replace the Edgar 80Hz straight horn. It is made by Funktion-One and they claim it plays down to 90hz. I could not get it to play below 120Hz and I am trying to figure out why.Pictures are:mouth measurements with no fil...

Interesting the stressing the importance of the listening room Rakesh went into depth of discussing reference clocks and YL drivers that are very irrelevant to the subject of the rooms. The Rony’s comment about the expression of “ultimate way of life...

Yes, if you have a midbass horn that more or less properly built then modesty and humility of the horn setup is the key ingredient of the horn sound. When I have my old transformer 11:1 then I had the midbass horns calibrated so perfectly that you ...

Romy,You make very, very good points now I am re-evaluating this all-in-one horn concept. I do know one thing that I learned from my current system. Midbass horn that rolls off below 120 hz and integrated with sub is not good. I have struggled with t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do feel that a playback sound has to be built first...The way how I trained myself is to disconnect channels. While I was making Macondo, installing it, moving it and experimenting with it I was frequently disconnecting c...

I would like to suggest an alternative factor or explanation to your recent ULF/midbass findings.When you were chronicling the design and implementation of your midbass horns I was curious as to the effect of the very close placement of the two h...

A few months ago, in May of last year in the thread about Listening Rooms and Composers and How to play Bruckner Sound on Audio I have complained that my room is not what I was looking for as I was hoping to have Bruckner Room but I need up with...

Romy, I re-read your comments a few times to better understand your feedback. I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is t...

[quote user="rowuk"]I often wonder who REALLY
needs real high end? Maybe this is the wrong description. [/quote]
That is a reasonable question. However, it is not question that
aligned with the thread. I do not think that people need high-end au...

Anthony,
Yes, this is the exact configuration that I have. As you drive your LF channels down, probably it will be 30-35Hz with >2 order filter you will like the sound from them even more. I hope you have a good ...

Since I started this thread I have received a number of emails from people bitching that I do not like this, criticize that and that they can’t figure out what I do like. I reply to them invariably – “Do not read my site as you are too much a Mor...

The mean KOTriode in his thread “A different breed of 6C33C amplifier“ jinxed me with his 6C33C vulnerability and today my output tube at right midbass channel went down. The characteristic pings, which via the midbass horn sound like house room is c...

martinshorn, I do not pay too much attention to K-hor as now as I do not pay too much attention to
Midbass channel. If I do not go for big ass midbass horn with large moth that
would change the whole room repose picture then to make a midbass chan...

If I may add, from experience, following and including Romy's post above:1) In cases of established incompatibility with a average power SET, more output energy (55W), will not completely clear the above 2) and esp. make 3) less "muddy" or ...

[quote user="Wojtek"]You mentioned it yourself that the most interesting midbass you ever heard was from corner horns. Why not utilize if you can a pair of K-horns (or clones) bass (midbass really) bins with sort of moveable fake corners? They can be...
