Rich,
I think it’s too early to seriously to talk about sound of your driver. As I understand you have no horn for this thing. Your comment that the driver goes all the way unto 8kHz clearly indicates that you used wrong horn before. If you stick a...

I spend quite a few hours playing with the new channel trying to ingrate into Macondo but so far not successful.
Since the new channel and the Macondo upperbass horn have identical sensitively and identical impedance I figured that I would drive it...

Thank, Manolis, it did address some concerns. I think I even know what you did with the MF driver. You were able to get 50Hz out of this looks like horn? This is impressive. The boundaries-loaded horns sometimes allow doing away with the horn siz...

Romy,
Thanks again for your comments.
The RTA and filter mods over the past few days have driven me straight up to the local café to chill out; they have WiFi here (this being France, still no internet at the house)... I will be brief.
Regar...

Quotes from Romy in blue: "...Anyhow, I do not know at which stage your project is what I think you are somewhere in a process of integrating the drivers..."I would like to stabilize the system, and listen to the existing horns, while ...

Jessie, there is another solution that you might consider, that might be viewed as compromise for one-side as might not be view is compromised from other side. If to allowed ourselves to close eyes to midbass timing-integration and if the geography o...

No question the Behringer has a ton of functionality, especially at under $300. The simple RTA is useful on the fly. I think and hope this tool will help with the MiniMe development.
I always wondered why the DEQ sounded so veiled but suspected ...

I keep discovering that Melquiades possesses a lot of things that I have absolutely no explanations. It almost sounds like a Bermuda Triangle of audio amplification!
For instance today I discovered a totally strange thing: Melquiades does not care ...

I really do not what is gong on there and why. Thorsten's comment that line-level crossovers do not act like speakers’ level crossover confirms what I feel and what some other people suggested me. Yes, the reactance of the crossover component, the in...

I think it is about right. The 6C33C for upper base has 100K
biasing resistor and 20K to ground in Lpad. That would make ~60Hz. This high
pass that unload the LF from the horns that it can’t handle is very important
as you do not want driver to pr...

[quote user="noviygera"] I want to listen to both 12db/octave and 6db/octave passive versions and see which one sounds better. And keep the one that sounds better. [/quote]Herman,
It depends what you would like to listen. If you would like to ...

…is to see how the Red Wall will load the room. Following the context of my Imbedded Macro-Positioning subject:

I think this subject should be collected in its own thread. It is interesting that both Romy and I have just got the Behringer DEQ 2496 to try in our systems, so hopefully there will be some data to report here.
It was previously said that the DE...

[quote user="Hugh"]The rewards of ideal speaker placement is something I've experienced as well and perhaps is related to DPLOS or possbily audio-moronism. While not easy to find or predictable between speaker brands the result is consistant.&n...

[quote user="morricab"] Interesting test you have conducted. Were the responses mostly unflat near the frequency extremes or was there variations even in the midrange? The reason I ask is because if you look at most of the published curve...

I spent a bigger part of day today to finish the “End of Life" Phonostage, there were many things to do but it is now over. Done! Complete! Amen! I it closed up and sat in it’s permanent place.
A few observations looking back. First, I spent a LOT...

Zanon, I do not have general thoughts. I do not particularly believe in the generalization but rather in the specifics an...

My current speakers are Edgarhorns with the straight 80hz upper-bass shell. The bass never sounded correct to me. The problems with Edgar's mid-bass are well documented at this site and elsewhere. I tried some simple modifications to the crossover...

With exception to the fact that I have no bass my new room did not give me a lot that I feel might be qualified as strange. I still do not know this room as good as I knew my old room but I will be there, it is a derivative of time. It is not tha...

Ok, I did play today with the MiniMe. I have to tell that then it turn black I kind got soften with it does not look to me as large and violent as I initially thought. I made some measurement and some listening. I peaty much know what I want to be an...

In the linked there above “Barn Conversion - James' Project” I have expressed my attitude toward low frequency bass. I certainly not “against” bass horn it but have “concerns”. The “open bottom” concept that I invented for myself is always make me to...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Its still not perfect, and I had the mic 1m from the membrane of the driver (had not yet read Romy's last post where he recommends putting the mic back at listening point). [/quote]

[quote user="Ronnie"] Listening to the horns, it seems that they indeed die somewhere below 120Hz. I was surprised, and a little disappointed that it seemed so steep. Good to hear that it's to be expected!!Yes, I'm using a 30-something-Hz 1st order h...

OK, after a few days to straggling with this damn tweeter I might report that the Water Drop actually made itself to sound civilized. It sounded somehow fine alone but it was a real nightmare with Macondo, I juts was not able to integrate it. I measu...
