Don't worry, Romy, I can hear, and I've been at this for some time, so it is already abundantly clear that the ML2s would do/be that much better with true HE speakers (yes, the right horns). And when I say this you know that I kn...

hello kids, a few weeks ago i started my hunt for a pair of speakers....i've been attached to my big system with a pair of headphones for the past year and feel its time to get some speakers to listen to music with (plus, i think my ears are now...

Hello Dan,Love how you pass that cable through the port, I used to do that too...long time ago.Why are you crossing your 250hz horn all the way up to 1 khz?The 2445 should be able to go much lower. Have you measured the response you are getting from...

Hi Romy,I see now you are throwing around the term "absolute tone" in a relative manner again :) . Why would you want to neutralize absolute tone and with a metal tweeter no less!! You are talking about a tweeter "absolute tone" offsetting a po...

OK, it looks like the 3rd time was indeed a charm.No, the new X/Os do not really "correct" problems inherent in the drivers. That's another story now. Still, a better power contour helps my DEBZs to sound more correct in terms of voicing and overal...

IMO, any sonic benefits from running Lowthers stock are totally swamped by excessive, ragged response that is generally (but not steadily...) rising - a lot - toward HF. There have been many ideas for "taming the Lowther", and here is another one, b...

Actually (probably because of the phase coherence and tight dispersion control) they sound very good even with some basic equipments, like the small 300 USD Parasound zAmp for example, but I like them most with the pro MC2 Audio MC1250 amps or the Fr...

Yes, both ends of the spectrum are tough to integrate with a quality MF.Of course, electrostats have no "push", but they seem to do all right (understatement) just supplementing way up there, in an array.The thing is, the "big" ribbons and 'stat...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Nope, I of course do not do not deny out ability for vertical allocation of sources but I do deny it in context of a loudspeaker with properly integrated drivers. I might recognize some degree of vertical HF imagine shiftin...

Hi Romy, I've been following your progress, it seems that you are drawing some very similar conclusions to what Steve Schell and I have learned. The bass horn has to be the proper size in order to work well, we are having ext...

According to my London contact the British miniatures Fane Acoustic is gone to dark. The remaining inventory was scraped by Eminence and the Fane is no more.
Over the years Fane made some interning things: guitar cone drivers, compression drivers, r...

[quote user="drdna"] Try a simple experiment. Connect only one driver at a time. Listen only to the ribbon tweeters. Now listen only to the woofers. Etc. Can you distinguish different heights for the image? [/quote] Of cause I can. [quote user="drdna...

I do not know what is meant by “close bottom” or “open bottomless”-- please expound?I do not know of importance of enemys death to this topic. There is a long thread in the subwoofer section of "devil audio" about tapped horns. John mentioned gettin...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]1) Whatever it is, in the WLM speakers the PAC driver is not tweeter but a MF driver. My definition of tweeter is that it is a driver that covers frequency range AFTER a MF channel. There is no dedicated M...

Allo
Well, my baffles are for a vertical array. A friend of mine built a "clone" of the Nola Grand reference and got a very good deal on the G1 ribbons... will send you a PM.Don't be pissed about me keeping you in the dark regarding the ribbons; you...

Hello Roman,Hola from Hong Kong! How are you? Haven't been here for long time. I have a question at the back of my mine for long time, and it may have been covered elsewhete in your blog before. I am asking it here but do point me to the thread if it...

I tried for at least a year to get some Aurum Cantus G3 ribbons to work
in my high efficiency system, and never could. I tried
everything. I finally concluded that ribbon drivers do not work
with HE systems. A $6 motorola piezo horn with som...

This stuff has been stuck in my mind for some time now, working around in there against my ongoing experience, against what I am now running. The goal is a more dynamic presentation with better spectral balance, with the emphasis on LF and [more] cor...

I was listrening to Hoenniger/Bach Suites yesterday and I don't know which exact instrument he plays for these 1973 German Telefunken recordings (stereo LPs), but that damn cello of his was just ripping the room to shreds, with its bass notes as powe...

Hi i am a new forum member and recently i built some speakers using Altec model 19 components 416-8b & 802 G. I built some 7.5 cu ft cabinets with two 4" diameter 5" deep ports this is the optimum cabinet size for the 416 i ditched the 811 horns ...

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...

[quote user="Thorsten"]Then it does exactly what is asked of it, I asked JB to design it for me PERSONALLY as a "wire with gain". I have been on previous occasions been unconvinced of many stepup transformers, be they sowter, amplimo, EAR or jensen. ...

Too soon to begin in-depth descriptions, but after a good deal more work (and expense...) than I'd bargained for, it did not blow up, and there was not the all-too-usual painful silence in lieu of the first expected sounds. I admit I was as surprise...

For those seeking some decent compression drivers that don`t cost fortune, I can suggest to try the Eighteen Sound ND1460A compression driver. It has aluminum dome and polyester suspension and 1,4 inch exit throat. Does it sound like S2 ? Probably no...

[quote user="el`Ol"] Copper domes??? [/quote]Yes, the pure copper domes. The nee a LOT of power to drive them though but they do very wonderfully if you do.
[quote user="el`Ol"] The Lansche is one of the speakers I would like to hear. Is it sonicall...

Hello Andy,I like your recordings although i am listening on headphones which i normally do not use. My Main setup is not operational right now.They do sound clean, clear and dynamic.Can you let us hear a recording of the live vs playback? This would...

I noticed quite a few speakers, various configurations, that sounded more like a collection of nice drivers wired together that what I would call a "speaker." I mean that you could clearly hear distinct tone, character differences between each ...

From Alex's thoughts it seems like one approach might be related to/interfaced with the program itself, such as RIAA or FFRR, etc., etc., even though I think those "recommended guidelines" have been only loosely observed by recording e...

Too late now for points, but just the other day I tried to imagine your plan. and I was pretty close.Actually, it is a bit like what I have going now; 15" Eminence bass guitarr woofers in a sealed 3 cu ft cabinet,Oris 150 with 8" B&C midrange dr...

Ok that was a long road to "stick with vertical alignment, and stay away from BMS." Back to compression drivers, and implementation...
If I were in your shoe I would take make as you wish but wish a slight correction:
