[quote user="Stitch"] None of these owners bought it because they can hear a difference, they are absolutely not interested in that and they have absolutely no idea about it!! They bought it as a toy and to get a position in an audiophile community a...

[quote user="HookEm"]The reproduction does not seem natural... too far away from what I would hear at a live event (e.g., female vocalist). Sort of bright and fatiguing at times. I may not be using the proper terminology to describe it, but I do...

Here are a number of threads at my site where the concept of “Rightsizing from extreme systems....” is pitched. I looked into the “second” systems not because I was interested in “different sound”. In fact I insist that multiple playbacks in the same...

[quote user="hagtech"]Perhaps the book falls under the "theory of irrelativity". I thought maybe there could be a useful tidbit inside. One good thing about blogs - people may not agree with you - but at least you can safely post an opini...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"]I will be laughing my ass off when I visit the GoodSoundClub website and read about a certain Cat who was finally motivated into tuning the ports on the Mini's specifically to "adjust" Macondo's sound! I am reminded of...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Assuming one will not get anything under 50Hz (usable) from a 40Hz horn, I interpret the mission of lower-bass channels in the context of a horn system as follows….[/quote]
Hm, this is a bit tricky with bass. A pla...

Yes, you are correct. The UHF are pro Canadian people and they do have the Canadian bias. Interestingly that the Canadian audio generally has very Canadian bias as well. It is very unfortunate as I always thought that bias should be for better Sound ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Regarding the Mid-Bass : If these guys are using the main block as a Mid-Bass horn (as Romy's illustration suggests), then the story is getting interesting, and the plot is definitely thickening... It would however seem i...

I have no idea who he is but I thought that this might be interesting in context of this thread. It is a Hong Kong guy who replaces his looks like Avalon Eidolon with some kind of 3-way Cessaro. It looks as he uses 833 amp. I do not know a lot about ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I do not know what fantasies Tom Martin and Robert Harley had but it looks to me that Magico Ultimate II is very much the same as Magico Ultimate I, the prefix II mean a new round of marketing BS… Here are the picture...

I would like to point out something that is going on here that I found truly remarkable.
For advanced people ho play with horns there is no second opinion that the vertical array, the Macondo/Cressaro-Gamma type of architecture, is THE ONLY one tha...

[quote user="msaudio"]Your Typical Acoustical Suspension-type Loudspeaker enclosure witch has less then 90 db at 1 watt does not belong with a horn system that starts at 110db at 1 watt, even when you ad more then 1 driver, it is still way to far...

[quote user="Ronnie"] I don't know any industry wolves unfortunately(?), but more new -01 drivers have appeared at half the price. I think I'll go ahead and make the speakers full range in time for my upcoming 30-years-on-earth-celebration. :-) [/quo...

You know, it surprises me how much less fan to listen my playback without ULF. Nope, the playback does not sound bad from audio perspective without ULF but it for sure a bit different experience. From a certain perspective to be in a room with U...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Tax,
do not go over yourself with “building paranoia”, looking for drivers, horns, boxes and etc. If you are looking for 80Hz to 200Hz range (you will need higher upper knee for AG Dou) then you do not need a bass d...

[quote user="homebuilder"]I am new to this interesting site, and am hopeful of getting some assistance with a project. I have purchased a set of TAD 1201 mid-bass drivers to begin a 4-way active system for critical home listening. (in a d...

[quote user="noviygera"]I thought I'd let you know that I ordered four of those Aura subs. Thanks for the advice, if I receive them (I hope so), I will install them into my new listening room. This will take a while because I still have a few mon...

Stefano Bertoncello's posted at his blog a comment about Tony’s playback. I do not know him; I guess he is an Italian fellow or somewhere near Italy.

I realized that this thread is slowly becoming the most sophisticated web recourse about Midbass Horn available. Trying to keep the thread educational I would like to introduce to my readers one more objective of my project. The subject is super ...

[quote user="Andy Simpson"]Usually, this is a _time-domain_ artefact of microphone diaphragm resonance, made worse by excessive proximity. [/quote]

I am usually not a big fun of somebody refer to eBay Items and I myself do it very seldom. Still, here I am as I think it is an interesting deal for someone. There is a guy out there that is damping a few of Aura RS-8.1 bass modules.

What would be most interesting would be to capitalize on the possiblity you have to make use of the basement volume as an enclosure for the lower-bass channels. This wold however, almost certainly introduce floor vibrations requring that you find...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...
