I was simulating the Fane S 8M in hornresp, your favourite program, and then I tried B&C 8PE21 and it was almost identical. Then I tried to simulate the 18Sound 8M400F and it went lower than both of them. Listening tests on youtube comparing the ...

one would take full advantage of what can be done in the digital domain so that the horn mouths could be arranged, not for time but to clean up their other interactions. This would be digital the entire way, solid state music files, digital amplifica...

Well, I loved, loved it loved it… but today I decided to experiment with integration the new horn into the system and learned that it would be far much complicated and take more efforts. Below are 3 sweeps form listening position, Firs is the new hor...

hey romy and all-i recently came across a strange phenomenon (to me.. maybe not to everyone else!).I just started using RTA as a method of evaluating my results with my own 2 way speaker system, and I'm finding that I'm ending up liking the sound of ...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I wish I could pin-point the frequencies and explain the effect better. I'll do my best.I want to cover my ears when a Pavarotti sings certain higher notes or some notes when Caballet sings pretty "comfortably".It's like bad PA h...

I had a look at the pic of your speaker just now - may I ask about the reasoning that went in to choosing a diffraction type horn?Also, your midrange looks like an open baffle type. What kind of back wave/diffraction management do you use? Kris...
|
|
One possibility is that the midrange to high frequency domain has very large suck out (no pun intended). The priapic horn with its aggressive high pass might be a "filler" device to amend the 2nd order electric dip in frequency (Linkwitz-Riley alignm...

INTEGRATION that's the clue and that's what I always feel lacks in my room, I mean extreme integration, real integration, the feeling that the recorded bass sound has its own boundaries, not my room's. So you said, midbass horns?OK, let's g...

Hey Romy... you could be right about the ALE's.. I certainly did like them, but when I went back to that familiar recording it was definitely shelved down low.. it would be easy to assume that I thought that they were "lightweight" because I had...

[quote user="haralanov"] Yes, but you are familiar with the compression driver and horns. How could somebody control the size of the audio window, formed by his midrange channel, using horns? If I remember correctly, you chose your Vitavox S2 driver ...

it would be nice if somebody who knows a thing or two about mathlab and pspice would develop a accurate model. in pspice one could include the crossover in the simulations....when i tried your recommendation with s2 and 3uF cap my "basshorn" ref...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...
|
|
I have seen Beyma rewrite their specs when they redo a driver and even add a letter to the driver for that change, even if it is the same driver.Now I have seen variable FS responses form different drivers of the same model also. I was joking with a...

Another bogus idea.If a perfect upper bass could be achieved by means of spherical (approx. 1m diameter horn), what would be the next acceptable solution,if space considerations do not allow big horns? Perhaps that could be a line array of small dire...
|
|
Andrew,Dont buy all the drivers at once, I would get only the upper bass horn drivers and maybe the mid drivers, you will have to play around with these for a while before things start clicking toghether, by then who knows, maybe you will think t...

[quote user="noviygera"] Romy, I have somewhat
different possibilities than you are seeing. My system is physically higher
than most because my listening position is at standing height or sitting in a
high stool. I have used this litening height f...

Romy, sad to hear of your separation. I hope you are ok.
I use one of these to align my horn stacks...

Dear Romy,
Thank you for the commentary and the advice with regards to the need to have a COGNITIVE ORDER OF SUCCESSION and to test with another speaker in situ first.
Given the varying degrees of how different individuals process COGNITI...

[quote user="Macman"]Just realised that I had dual highpass filters on the TH, which more or less cut off frequencies below 50Hz entirely. A lot better now, still much to be made of course.[/quote]
This is very normal. People get the “building...

[quote user="skushino"]My desire is to use a pair of bass horns for each channel, both vertically oriented, one each exhausting to the floor and the ceiling. I have an idea that spatial presentation will gain a big boost with both up and down firing...

i will give you this much - horn loading ribbons is fundamentally not as advantageous as horn loading dynamic drivers. this is because ribbon mass is already close to airload mass (in theory could even be less) and little extra efficiency can be ext...

I do not remember whose inhalation it was, also unfortunately those audio people flash each other with pictures, exchanging with audiopornography, but do not share their reason, thoughts of objectives.
In the given example the system designer obvi...

Hm, this is what I am playing how: the new 18-cell and S3. I run it from a full time Milq and use it with no filter of any kid. Rony is right the depth effect is there, it is not even depth but rather multi-dimensionality. Indeed very pleasant feelin...

Hi everyone,It is quite ironic that the day I hear from Fane telling me that the Fane 8Ms are finally ready, I should receive this update from my horn maker maestro. Russ Collinson of Layers of Beauty. Russ, if you ever read this here, please take a ...

[quote user="haralanov"] You haven’t heard any important difference because you haven’t tried what I illustrated on the picture above. [/quote] Nope I did not as I do not feel that this type of experiment is even necessary. However, what I was carin...

[quote user="Antonio J."] I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still wer...

[quote user="Tax"] Given the varying degrees of how different individuals process COGNITIVE ORDER OF SUCCESSION there will be differences in between how the plumber Vs a brain surgeon handles COGNITIVE ORDER OF SUCCESSION. I guess on some things...

[quote user="T3GGG"]Romy, what is your thought on using a Tractrix flare on a Midbass horn, Fc 140HZ then maybe a Le Cleah horn above, say 400hz. To me this looks on paper to be the best of both worlds and avoids the 1metre plus midbass Le Cleac'h ho...

Hello Romy,
I understand the difference between the kind of "basshorn" pictured here and the proper compression-horn that you use. It is true that many DIY-types like to make basshorns in their garage without much thought to technical consideratio...

So i've made some more progress. Now it's time to select a Midrange and Tweeter!Anyways...... About $200 in PLA Plastic LOL, $75 in quick-cement, and 312 hours worth of printing between 3 printers... I present:
