Guy, here some unconnected comments that you might find worth considering. They are in no order or importance, just random thoughts.

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

first post... but I recognize quite a few friends here.. so, my straight horns... I like them very much.. I built mine similar in style to what Greg B linked, but obviously much smaller.. mine are just under eight feet long (length of a sheet&nb...

Ok, I have 200 posts in this thread. I was stated over a year back. Thanks for anyone consulted me and observed where my Pilot Acoustic Systems took me. At this point, when the MiniMe result has settled to my satisfaction and when I am not going...

I meat with a local gentleman who runs North Reading Engineering.
He turned out to be quite intelligent
with whom is stimulating to bounce different design ideas. We might try the K-Horn
with Vitavox drivers, which would be the same as CN-191 bas...

Yes, it turned out to be the emails from GOTO importer. I am not completely understood if the horn at the picture above is an official GOTO product. The Ming Su said that the horn was build locally by Jeffrey Jackson with the support of GOTO but then...

[quote user="Paul
S"]If you said anything about your 15" VitaVox in the video, I
must have missed it. What frequency range are you running them, and what
is low-pass filter? Given your prejudices, I suppose the cabinets are sealed,
so they can't...

I spent many hours listening and experimenting, trying to change the signature of my mid-base channel. Everything that I'm trying suggest me that I am in at very right direction but I am still not server I would say freeze the system and do not t...

[quote user="Paul S"]You have mentioned that you want a much larger enclosure for your oops unit. I was then wondering if you aim to merely broaden and/or lower resonant response or if you planned to in some way tailor resonance as it rela...

Hello Romy,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner… Moving to the new place has turned out to be a huge task, but worth it, as this new home actually has a place to work, not to mention a much better selection of recorded music at the local...

Hi there el Olyou are on the right track. (I know your post is quite old now, but I just found it today when I googled my own site).I am the one who invented the Polyepicell cones of Kea Audio.I bought the patent papers that Mr Podzus made over 60 ye...

Spent today a whole day moving the boxes, do some measurements,
fighting with REW interface, thinking, some listening… Found some bugs in the
system that I think screwed my initial feeling. The bugs were mostly by Thomas

[quote user="el`Ol"]But when the frequency where the dipole acoustic short circuit "kicks in" is clearly below the Fs of the driver, everything "dipoly" that can happen are rear wall reflections with the wrong phase, and that danger is also reduced b...

[quote user="Paul S"]Greg, I have written about my "DEBZ" speakers several times at this site, [/quote]D. Olsher's Basszilla -- of course! Sorry, Paul, I forgot.[quote user="Paul S"]If I were to do the DEBZ concept right now, I would tune the BR...

[quote user="anthony"]This is excellent
information Romy. I have been worried about crossing the woofers at 100Hz
and would be much happier if I was able to cross them lower. We will see
how everything integrates into the room and if I do need t...

Anthony,
Yes, this is the exact configuration that I have. As you drive your LF channels down, probably it will be 30-35Hz with >2 order filter you will like the sound from them even more. I hope you have a good ...

Kodomo,
A brief post about concerns. Feel free to discard it.
LF modules – are you sure that you want to go with ported
solution? You can model your boxes and use any good drivers but sonically with
port you will end up with bass that would h...

Interesting, Very interesting.
I might make some observations now, claming this recent modification as a success. The minor gain of sensitively certainly did not heart but the major advantage was defiantly the “activation of ceiling”. It is hard to ...

It is great that Wilson did anything like this, thank for
pointing out. I did not read the article passing 3rd paragraph and stooped
reading when they start taking about listening impressions. The listening
impressions from those people are truly ...

I think 8-8-1 will be very good configuration all together.
Make sure it stays sufficiently far from back wall. Point the axis toward to your shoulder and I think it would
be fine setting. Turn off tweeters and Fundamentals channel and set right

[quote user="Murataltuev"] I understand all

I strongly believe that minimal influence to the signal is the most important
aspect. And influences in digital domain are usually terrible. But I'm not sure
what other...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Of cause not but did you read and understand the Macondo
Axioms? The Macondo Axioms proclaims that an individual driver and individual channel
have to be set in maximum suitable for own topology operation. According to Go...

In one idealistic configuration I envisaged for myself, for a situation where cost and practicality no object, the basic room shape was pentagonal, with the facets ot the pentagon curved inwards to eliminate parallel reflecting surfaces and simultane...

Yes, the "Injection Channel" consists of a pair of Tannoy Reds, used as direct radiators, in sealed enclosures. I would not say that they overly specifically optimized. I did many optimizations equalizing them, filtering them but I never was able to ...

Lately I have been thinking a lot, trying figure out what I

is still there and I have no motivation to change anything. The conceptualizing
