I pretty much know what I need to do – I need to go for shaper filter built in my power amp. The second order I have no is too impactful to midbass, so I need to do for 2th order or perhaps for 4th and try to integrate it. Whatever it will be I thin...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Was invited over to Romy's today for a listen. In the last two days, he made several small but critical changes in the time alignment, crossovers, and room damping, and the sum of them has brought his system up by several notches producing the best a...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Do you think it would be possible to find the proper location by using a smaller pair of speakers, and then substitute in the big horns? At least to get to a close position?[/quote]Absolutely not! The “points” or even the “zon...

You see, in my view, what those smaller labels and big labels do in term up-closed microphones and artificial reverberation (even though it NEVER done properly) is something that event delivers a small tactical advantage ...

user="jackydai"]Romy, I’m disappointed to see you confront your own

Hello, new to the forum... very glad to find it. I'm a sound guy at a small celtic/trad venue, I've had the opportunity to hear everything from Strads to FO Stanley's. I'm not professing to be an expert, I've just had the chance to listen to a good...

You might want to try covering a section of plywood with the modified cement/mortar recipe as a test before you write it off as too difficult or too expensive. Basically, it does pretty much what you ask, and it need not be 2" thick, either; 1/2" or...

[quote user="noviygera"]I feel that the best candidates are metal springs. 1. They won't compress or deteriorate quickly.2. They work good in the used freq. range.3. Easy to replace. Easy to tune by adding or removing springs.4. Easy to float the ent...

As a new concert season is coming up with BSO opening night next week I was sprucing up my recording studio. The machine is 3MHz with 2G memory – plenty run SoundLab5. The SoundLab just record and play, I do absolutely nothing else in this software, ...

[quote user="drdna"] Oh, I see you are absolutely correct. I am very puzzled. As it says on the website, the mastering studios relocated to a new location. Maybe there was no room for the old set-up. I was only in the old studio a few years ago. I sw...

[quote user="drdna"]I would not restrict myself to the idea that things need to be a certain way or a certain configuration of the drivers or ports based on theory alone. I think it is important to ask what is interesting about the sound that the new...

[quote user="vuki"]Anyway, my plan was to make powerful triode NFBless amplifier for relatively small money. I'm really satisfied with what I did. Maybe I should have done GM70 SE, but what would be my next project then?[/quote] The GM70 is a bitch a...

Yes, all you said about the Fostex and heavy mouth MF seems reasonable. I don't know what's wrong, but I get the feeling that it's sort of hollow-sounding and could be much more loaded. I'll finish the horns completely before any final conclusions.In...

I'm following with interest the thread and must say that I'm baffled: Goto's "instructions" are - SIMPLY said - a mix between non-existent and wrong... I love what Goto's did in my system... BUT I think I did more with "my own" care, "my own" taste, ...

I think when we are taking about the today TT we do not mean inventions – there are no inventions that I see in mega-priced turntables. All that I see are small manufactures, very inefficient production, very little market for sale and distribution a...

Thanks for your comments, Romy.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 ...
