Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

[quote user="tuga"]If you have a midrange driver you can try that for yourself.[/quote]In this case the lack of "full-range" audio is so glaring it overwhelms any advantage of the point source, I think.
[quote user="tuga"]BTW, do you consider elec...

Hi Romy,Just thinking out loud here, but I have been listening to my mono DSET/Macondo for quite a while now and recently changed back to my old acoustic system so that I could poke around in the DSET innards for a little while. The old system (in s...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]This is one of my favorite topics. [/quote]I completly share this sentiment.There is clearly nothing nearly as important as the listening room itself and having the possibility of building a listening room from scratch is ...

It hard at this point to sat anything defiantly about the Super Melquiades sound. Positively to derive the speakers directly from amp with no speaker-level crossover does provide multiple and multiple benefits. So, Even if to subtract all other “diff...

Romy:Thank you for your response. You are correct that the vision is not completely developed for this 4 way. A bit more info is needed. I've had some experience with JBL woofers, but am relying heavily on the results achieved...

[quote user="noviygera"]1. Let's say
the my original back chamber from the manufacturer is a good "starting
point". Is Romy saying that those last few hertz of the fine tuning of the
chamber volume are very important and audible, in other words th...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

Anthony, it is a bit complicated subject. If you ever visit me and look at my attic you will be literally laughing. It is always initially designed with an idea to load there all possible outer installations. Pretend a good size listening r...

All thinking about ULF are usually centered on 3 subjects:
drivers, topology and amplification. Even though these 3 subsets very much intertwined
I still would like to talk about it separately. We do presume that we have the proper
drivers for pro...

My primary
interests (when I do purely technical listening) are in the field of psychoacoustics
and the last 2 years I spent a lot of time investigating how the brain reacts
to differently arranged sound sources. The interesting thing is that the ...

thanks for the help, romy, this is im8, it works, which is good.
This is what I think of m4. taken from website I made, when I could not post here. I will keep it up, as info for this driver is very rare, not much out there about it.Personall...

I would like to ask for your thoughts on the importance of back chamber shape and construction. This topic became of interest when I learned that the back chamber of my midrange horn (250hz - 2khz) is noticeably resonating when I put my hand on i...

The reason that I built the 6C33C preamp was to explore the 6C33C true musical potential like I did with the 845. Not only did I compare the sound of these tubes in power amp, but also in preamp. The reason is that with power amp you might hit some l...

[quote user="drdna"]I would like to hear the opinions from people who have heard good point source/single driver installations (ignoring the shortcomings). What does the point source add to the audio reproduction?

I think my new room and new midbass horn will give me an opportunity to play at the NEW LEVEL with a notion that I have been chasing for years. I am taking about perceptual shrinking of frequency response. I need to admit that most of the ugliest...

[quote user="green heron"] I'm happy with my results midrange on up at the moment, but I'd like more slam from the midbass horns. The backchamber may be a bit too large, so I'm planning to experiment with the cabinet volume. Do you have any su...

[quote user="Saturntube"] The difference soundwise in this half range 180hz and up horn module between the Leak TL12.1 amps and the First watt F5 clone was big, mainly the tonal balance is very different with the midrange sounding thin. Highs w...

[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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="drdna"] You are correct, though I believe the subwoofer covers only below 35 hz. [/quote] So???[/quote]So, my thought was that below 35 hz, there are many ways of thinking about amplification. Some might say S...

Actually Goto does not have default 5-6-7 way systems. I have seen that they recommend 4 ways systems. Definably in the fields the dealer and distributor load their ignorant customers with as much drivers as possible selling them 55 ways systems.&nbs...

The best midrange comes from compression drivers, it has that minuteness, transparency and dynamics that no other topology can offer; the main problem with them is that they only cover a very specific mid frequency ran...
