Bruce Edgar room was probably the only rooms at the entire show where form my prospective it was possible to begin to talk about "pure audio", so I will.
Bruce picked and smartly holds at "The Show" a wondefull room, the small room, but fr...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] People frequently ask me what would be a good speaker to buy for $5.000, for $10.000 for $20.000 for $50.000 and so on. The more I think about it looking at the park of available loudspeakers the more I come to the obse...

A “casual” look at full range usually results in 3 or 4 way playback for standard dynamic drivers or horns. There are a handful of “full range” commercial efforts from Edgar, Wilson, JBL, etc that are doing similar things with the range of each chann...

Only, we don't know much about speakers do we?In my kitchen I have a $180 (list) Sony mini-system with subwoofer that is very very satisfying. That price includes AM/FM, dual cassette wells and 3-CD changer! But it's the main speakers that do th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]You use Edgar’s refrigerator subs that use own LF SS amps (that use EQ of I am not mistaken), so you do not use the full advantage of SET LF sound.[/quote]You are correct, though I believe the subwoofer covers only below 40...

Romy,OK this is getting clearer I think. Any object that receives a force will vibrate. So even before the music starts but there are hundreds of people in the seats, their feet moving around are vibrating the floor slightly. Similarly the orchestra ...

Hi Romy,My experiences with the SL6 and SL600 date back 15-20 years. My problems with the sound I could get from them related to their inability to recreate music with scale or drama. I found the subjective lack of high frequency output made every re...

I do not know what is meant by “close bottom” or “open bottomless”-- please expound?I do not know of importance of enemys death to this topic. There is a long thread in the subwoofer section of "devil audio" about tapped horns. John mentioned gettin...

[quote user="NBC"]Hi Romy,1) What dimensions for 1808 baffle would you suggest? The Golden rule is: 1.6 height, 1.0 width, 0.6 depth. 2) Is floor-firing vs. front-facing cone useful or preferred?I wouldn't use the 1808 or 8196 in ...

Yeah, and I once thought Krell was the way to go, a boy's (or a man's) dream when I saw pictures of the KSA 100 poweramp for the first time. I must admit that in 1991 I heard a demo with Krell KAS poweramps, Wilson WATT/Puppy's + Pow Wow subwoofer an...

As I understand it the Silbatone amplifiers are, in part, the work of JC Morrison. Although very nicely made, its hard to judge if they have any serious intention of selling them. I don't think there is any commercial imperative to do that just as th...

This is our first offering; we are indeed working on another two higher priced models. One will have an additional channel on top, the other one will be front horn loaded down to 40 hz. Optional finish and colors, both for horns and supports, a...

There is some literature available online which looks at how to obtain good bass in a room using more than one subwoofer, which should be of interest to anyone thinking of trying the path you are suggesting, even though the writers were thinking ...

Kodomo, be advised that if you move your individual drivers
up and down then you need to do time realignment of your systems. You finding about the “drivers need some space” is kind of controversial.
Let me to talk a little bit about the subjects...

I realised this morning that I have done a "not-so-standard" thing in using leftover fibreglass batts for stuffing the tubes. The batts that I have on hand are high density batts, not the low density type of fibreglass that is usually used for stuff...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

Will try to answer all questions here.Romy: I understand why you do not wish to use the term “surround sound”, but it is the accepted term for what we are discussing. You may add other terminology, but it only muddies the debate until others accept i...

[quote user="Knightcrawler"]The 1808 in a vented box produces some of the best bass I've ever heard. I know some have a beef with vented enclosures but when designed right the sound can be brilliant. I've heard plenty of sealed, vented, bandpass and ...

The RAAL’s Alex is trying to undertake a task of horn-loading of his ribbons. I am not a big enthusiast of the idea. I am not quite sure how Alex will combine in one driver the requirements of super-tweeter and a horn-loaded MF driver, not to mention...

Romy:Thank you for your response. You are correct that the vision is not completely developed for this 4 way. A bit more info is needed. I've had some experience with JBL woofers, but am relying heavily on the results achieved...

I have two of the pp+1500's in for review,and had Romy's 3000 before Richard brought it to Romy, and have to agree with Romy that the units surpass the old ones for sound quality. I don't know how much current his amps pull on turn on but I was runni...

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions on RTA.Romy -- you are correct, measurements always need to be made in context of sonic experience and more importantly musical intention. For me, though, to begin the process, I need to unlearn much of wh...

Just how important are subharmonics and undertones in audio, and how they affect tone? I played around for a while with the Townshend supertweeters, this is a ribbon tweeter that you can barely listen to: you plug it in and put it next to your...

[quote user="Knightcrawler"] The 1808 was designed for a large vented enclosure. Just looking at the TS numbers would indicate a large vented box to be best. It also worked well in horn loaded designs as well. [/quote]I did not says what it was desig...
