Consigned to the root cellar? In such a small space, "cranking it up" is a relative term, but I think this could be more interesting than headphones. Anyway, there's no substitute for trial and error. I would say, basically, use a good front end a...

I feel strange tonight. I woke up at 2.30AM to feed the diabolically-smiling baby and as Thomas went back to sleep I keep walking back and forth of the listening room for 2 hours, having quite bewildering feelings. As Amy the Kitten moved with me we ...

Romy, it seems like you are basically talking values and value here. No way to know for sure ahead of time how your children will take to Music, let alone hi-fi, and also no way to be sure now how long any interest will last, or how long you will li...

It looks to me that I will be able to live with my 6 driver
line array. Again no measurements were made but it is what it “looks”. Sound-wise it is very reputable and I just might
leave it as is. My current room is 6 larger to what I had in downto...

Well, the subject of capacitors in that PS should be resolved. We discussed it a lot with Dima and he feel that I am fool all my idea to try in this supply “minimum capacitance”. He actually does not believe in small capacitance, he has a vision how ...

This weekend a local audio guy came to my palace and was bitching about his bass. I have small 1 cub feet pair sealed foxes with 8” version of my 25W drivers, I think they are 21W. I used them on the side of my bed to allow my old Koshka to climb in ...

My idea is a upright horn like your "midbass hanging thing", at 200 hz for the smaller size of it, and this will be my work for 2009/10. What I would like is exponential curve, not tractrix horn, something like this one...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

We have already talked about how recording techniques do or do not make the most of a given format, and/or available recordings do or do not especially lend themselves to a given playback system. Then, there is the matter of setting everything up in...

Thanks Romy!I went with two tiers as I do not have much space between the speakers and the side walls as I have a 2.5M cabinet on the front wall.I named my amp Koshka as I always felt Koshka made a contribution to the development of the Melquiades an...

A friend stopped by tonight when I was test-listening my midbass horn. He got freaked out from the size of the thing. I played for him some Gerhard Oppelt’s organ recordings. He told me that I am crazy, like I do not know it myself. Anyhow, he made a...

I have so call "Michigan basement" which is rised (~4 ft) crawl space. Although the first floor of my small house is semi open floor plan 21'x21' the 10' middle wall dividing and separating the kitchen space makes setting difficult. I have K-horns in...

[quote user="skushino"]My desire is to use a pair of bass horns for each channel, both vertically oriented, one each exhausting to the floor and the ceiling. I have an idea that spatial presentation will gain a big boost with both up and down firing...

This project started in 2007 as an attempt to demonstrate that drivers different from the widely accepted low-Qts ones could be used in a back-loaded horn enclosures.Visaton BG13P, a cheap and easy-to-get (at least in Europe) driver was chosen, basic...

The small room "solution" might well be related to the car "solution", such as it is. I have been thinking along those lines to this point. Whatever, the idea is to wind up with a satisfactory experience. For me, being wowed at first usually means I ...

I have been lurking here for a while and am fascinated at the discussions of TONE. I play trumpet professionally in Germany and have many opportunities to experience big rooms and big pipe organs as well as symphony halls with various degrees of acou...

The audiophools have a term PRaT: Pace, Rhythm and Timing that apply here - even if many do not understand that this is NOT something that makes you tap your toes to the banjo... Performing jazz musicians have a term "groove" that covers similar terr...

Romy,
I've been storing all my digital music on a computer located fairly far
from the audio system for quite some time now. You've brought up a few
issues that are worth discussing.
1) Storing the digital stream - I assume you mean either (...
|
Romy, I think you are asking if I have the Edgar subwoofers also. Yes, I do, like giant woodgrain refrigerator in the living room. So I do get some bass response.The Decca cartridges sound different from every other cartridge I have heard...

Ok, so I'm not really going to talk about the show itself, but more of some interesting things I learned. Yes, I did have a room, but that's not the point. I was able to borrow some speakers from Azzolina. They are of the unusual Lo...

I tried the ML2s via their 16 Ohm taps, even though my speakers drop to 4R at about 80 Hz before going back up their average 8 Ohms at 30 Hz. The overall sound off the 16 Ohm taps was more balanced and integrated top top bottom, ...

An interesting post, Paul, thanks. It looks like my fear or bass loading of this room were not accidental. If I get this room then it would be even worse in my case. Your have solid slab floor –something that I would like to have. But this house ...

Ok, Andrew, this is allergy something. I would highly advise you in future before you post any discrete updates, questions, and ideas about what you to inform about the holistic objective of your project, sort of a view from 50.000 feet. That what I ...

Do get an RTA, it is amazing how different the frecuencies are from what we imagine, 50 hz is very low! 150 hz is a vital freq, and a lot of female voices have a very nice fullness at 150 hz. It is hard to tell without measuring what is happening ...

[quote user="serenechaos"] I started thinking about all this due to Bert Doppenberg's Swing I heard @ RMAF. He said some people prefer it to always be vertical, but he prefers it with the mid and high (co-axial horn to the outside, and the bass...

[quote user="Vasyachkin"]things should be PERFECT at least in theory.[/quote] For stereo systems, we start with two small microphones with strictly limited ability to capture an acoustic musical event at a particular combination of phases, reflection...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...
