Jessie,
I was trying to evaluate the gain of my amplification in respect to larger room and again was thinking about your case. I think something that you do it not correct. You are complaining that you have not enough gain in upperbass, but I...

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...

For my ears, the piano is rich in harmonics that change with playing volume BUT the only way to get a louder note is with the hammer striking the strings more powerfully which always is coupled to a louder "articulation". Violins and wind instruments...

[quote user="jweiss"] It was good to finally meet you at CES at the Cogent Room. I guess that you really found Steve and Rich's drivers pretty interesting (you initially wanted to buy a pair of the midrange drivers, remember?) [/quote]

Hi Romy,
FYI: The previous photo of some unknown persons "pile o' horns" appears to be:
Upper midrange: 1" TAD TD-2002 mounted to 650Hz Edgarhorn
Supertweeter: Fostex T90A or T925A.
Lower midrange: ...

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] It seems that I do agree with you about the sound of compression driver midbass.. at least from what I have heard in my own room.. I have heard the big ALE drivers you mention on a bent steel horn similar to what ALE bu...

Hi Saturntube, 40 Hz - 200Hz = wooo, woo, wo, - hm... Forgive me as I'm not talking about horns right now, but some sort of 4th order *acoustic* roll-off at 200Hz may apply with a horn as it would, e.g. with a second order cross-over in a box-spe...

[quote user="jeff1225"]Roomy,I have read the posts from two years ago on your multi-cell horns. What was the final verdict? I don't see them for sale so I assume you've kept them. I'm curious where you stand on using 18 cell horns as the main midrang...

A friend of my after reading my comments about the EdgarHorn installation in Vegas (in here) asked me why do I think the bass in Bruce’s room behave as it behaved. I tried to think about it. Some of those thoughts intersect with some other projects t...

I spent many hours listening and experimenting, trying to change the signature of my mid-base channel. Everything that I'm trying suggest me that I am in at very right direction but I am still not server I would say freeze the system and do not t...

I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

Part of setting up a system is listening to both channels independently, they measure the same and sound the same, but individually with a lower volume and punch, and of course no stereo effect." the audio window should get larger and larger, unti...

Hi Romy,I agree its a relief to hear finally someone describing something. Because all the mysterious dust around it makes one really curious :) And you cant hear them anywhere.So i got really "tensioned". Finally... and id like to share about it. As...

Hi Romy,
Again, good words (don't want to kiss your ass ;) ). Though, I get your point and agree, one should not think that this winter picture means Goto sound cold (u never know what one could read out of it) .
What Klaus also highlighted, is...

approach, then the people who really use single driver sp...

Yes, they are spherical, wish means not rectangular. ...

Anthony, it feels like more of less comprehensive solution.
I like that you make the mid-bass horns to have the same externals profile as lower
midrange horn, this is making is visually very complete. If it was mine, then I
