[quote user="haralanov"] Some time ago I also thought my upper bass channel is flawlessly integrated, but when I added another, symmetrically arranged UB driver (over my WR driver), I quickly understood the new configuration is MUCH more expressive a...

|
[quote user="haralanov"]Actually I see the biggest benefit (besides the huge sound body) in the fact that such a configuration allows very precise adjustment of the way how the harmonics of each UB channels touch the midrange, by simply dealing with...

[quote user="haralanov"] This experiment was made a few days ago by a friend of mine who is speaker repair person. The modified compression driver is Soviet made 1A-16. If you have the chance to compare the single layer VC vs. the original VC and to ...

The whole room (L-shaped) is larger as you all noticed, but as Roman saw in my Blog , the listening space is smaller - i.e. about 6,5 x 4,5 meters with low 2,70 ceiling - and is a perennial work in progress... yes, the Stereo Lab 1000 hz is a true wa...

1: If it is not patently obvious to W that Romy is far from enamored with what I hypothetically propose, then it would seem that W is grievously wanting in terms of intellect, a more troublesome failing in the world at large than errant taste in loud...

[quote user="el`Ol"] I know the PAC tweeter of the WLM has the best transients and transparency of all tweeters I know and so is the best tweeter above 5kHz I know, although I hated the implementation (crossed far too low, harsh-sounding upper midran...

[quote user="tuga"]If you have a midrange driver you can try that for yourself.[/quote]In this case the lack of "full-range" audio is so glaring it overwhelms any advantage of the point source, I think.
[quote user="tuga"]BTW, do you consider elec...

Ending up re-amping my MF channel, I found myself at unexpected situation that I am not completely compostable with Macondo HF. It is not that the HF are bad but they were made to serve the interest of older, slightly softer operating single-stag...

[quote user="coops"]I have re-read your post and your tone sugests that field coil drivers wi be used by manufacturers purely for their marketing appeal and not for any sonic improvement, Thomas Woschnick has just taken delivery of a pair of Ce...

Here is my proposal for an ideal horn system. The concept derives from the really of the horns as I know them, the available park of the drivers, the drivers’ real capacity and from… everything else that I might comment upon if you would not figure o...

This Sakuma’s is kind of BS. What I mean is that it has the appeal to be “good thinking” but only in the realm of marketing hype, something that the editor of “Direct Heating” had created around Sakuma. The reality is that the Sakuma’s TWO channel Am...

Okay... I also downloaded the original Milq SET amplifier PDF and have looked at it in detail as well as the 6-channel adaptation (DSET) and I understand where you're going with it... or so I think. In my particular situation, I've owned two pair of ...

Ok, I have figured out why I have so extended bandwidth over 73kHz for my tweeter. I forgot that when I measured it I had the LPAD wide opened and in this configuration the parallel resistor is 20K and series is shorted. So, in that case I had just o...

[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...

Pete,
I do not think that it makes a sense to searched for “LF for use with Vitavox S2”. Do you think that there are good LF to use with Vitavox S2 and there are good LF to use with other drivers? I do not think so. The good LFs are good by themselv...

I did find replacement tubes OK (online), just not locally, like I had hoped. I have now recieved, installed and tested all new tubes but the 6N6Ps, which have been delayed in St. Petersberg by Christmas mail jamb-up. ...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Regarding the absents of the band-pass filters… Perhaps you are correct.[/quote] I am correct, I have been inside Hoerning speakers, to find "what makes them tick"....[quote user="Romy the Cat"]However, they...

I am finishing us to setup my listening room and I have my PP2000 blowing up sometimes (go to protection bypass mode) when I use powerful SS amp for ULF along with Melquiades and the rest of the systems driver from one single PP2000. So, I guess I wo...

[quote user="drdna"] 1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which is based initially on a single-driver type backloaded horn. To me this suggested that the seller was seeking the benefit...

priviet. I tried many ways. I cut the front outside faceplate open, and put a second driver on it. So that two drivers were firing onto each other face to face in one single hornthroat, rest normal single K. To my surprise the output didn't increase ...

[quote user="decoud"]So the ambition is low, and I am after a simple solution prioritizing these things, but the question of general interest is whether anyone has found an elegant way of turning the constraints of space into a virtue [/quote] We...

[quote user="drdna"] I think this 2A3 must have a specific set-up to sound its best. You have not found it yet. To begin with and familiarize yourself with the sound of it, I suggest sticking with the topology that has been tested by amplifier design...

I think it should be somewhere posted for my and perhaps for others future references. Here is the setting for testing Melquiades' single-stage tubes on Hickok 580/580A tube testers. To test the tube as a driver for a full Milq (two stages) set ...

Paul, l I have written about it somewhere: the passive speaker-level crossovers on bass channels are no good. Marko has 250Hz that with 3rd order would be around 10mH and 2mH. With air core then would be very large coils with huge amount of DCR – ver...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]since I know that you do not deal with horns and discuss it only as theoretical exercise I am not sure what we are talking about. [/quote]Hahaha :-) This experiment was made a few days ago by a friend of mine who is speaker...

Romy,I merely thought that you felt I was riding roughshod over your advice, when it was in fact a degree of naivety requiring extensive clarification that may have made it appear thus. Regardless of your indifference to praise and/or criticism, I'd ...

Last week I spent a few hours at the scene of NY’s Stereophile Show – HE 2004: a half-day on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. As many other audio-shows it had many semi-ugly colorations, however as any audio shows this zoo trip brought it’s own “inter...
