[quote user="haralanov"] For some unknown reasons, he later decided to change it with the sharp and artificial sounding fostex supertweeter. What might be his motivation? Logically appears the following question – is that Goto supertweeter so hor...

All below is written by Thomas Dunker
Yeah, "sound consistent independent of signal level" is a very precise way to sum up my whole speaker philosophy. Anything that is assumed to be constant, but which actually changes with signal dynamics is what ...

Hi Romy, hi folksMy intro hello and first post, i just had to sign up. Just found the platform through googlin some hornstuff and came back too often.Especially the resonating oops was the latest topic that really cought my attention as im familar, a...

Imaging is what you experience from a good mono recording, which is closer to reality in a live performance, but kind of narrower. Soundstage is what you get from most hifi systems, a quite false illusion of music happening into its own fake, de...

[quote user="yoshi"] This is how I took Jonathan's post. He (Janathan) is mocking you (Romy) by presenting a hypothetical situation assuming your ego would be hurt in that situation and get pissed the same way some audio people react hysterical...

Romy,
Why preface my comments ? I've had the same system for 10 years basically. I do use digital crossovers but the 'Class D' NuForce amps are not digital at all. And the NuForce amps don't sound like stereotypical Class D amps, they are very quie...

First I want to say "Hello" to our host and to the other guests here.Sorry that I interfere here, but talking about PA inspiration and using PA parts in creative mode in dinning room, I can say that for about 15 years back I was starting my interest ...

Hi Jessie :I'm sorry if this is not the subject of this thread as I have a bit of a problem following computer/digital discussions, but since you read french, there is a fellow in france selling a device to send audio signals from iTunes to audio sys...

Maybe there is no difference when you take a Leak... An amplifier can only be viewed in the context of the complete system. Watts say nothing about sound and capacity is relative.In any case, if you are looking for your own system, the amplifier mode...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Andy, my mind does not operate by the categories you employ, I rather think about nature of Sound not about harmonic/non-harmonic distortions. The whole subject about the distortion is intricate, not to mention that it is n...

The normal audiophile has a problem when he marries first and wants to add a good Stereo System later.One of my friends did it right, he bought his system first and married later, before he did that he showed all to his girlfriend and said "You know,...

Adrian, I had Edgarhorns that have evolved since I bought them in 2005. In my current set-up, nothing remains of the original Edgarhorns as conceived by Bruce, other than the speaker system remains front loaded horns. I noticed the same sense of he...

I heard a friend's horn system recently and was very impressed. I don't have the resources to put together a diy system as discussed here, amazing as they seem, but am looking for recommendations for commercially available finished horn speakers that...

Not sure about schools for listening to hi-fi, but plenty of "Eastern" programs for enhancing the senses. It sure seems like there is a "psychological" component at work here, something apropos of Jung (qv), perhaps, for "us Westerners". And remember...

I can just picture Mr Weiss now, in his living room enraptured by his playback system, except there's no physical system there, he's just got the brochures in front of him, and he's drooling all over the specs!...

I never had a chance to play with various preamplifiers in a very high-resolution system, but all the attempts that I've made with my system at home are constantly returning the same result - passive linestages seems to be the most accurate one....

[quote user="Paul S"]Murat, that's a lot to ask from one driver. [/quote]1000-12 000 is 3.5 octaves.300-3000 is a bit less.[quote]In any case, if you do get useful results with the paper driver, you will have to turn right around and integrate it bac...

Years ago, the two different systems in which I heard RCA 1428s - in a fairly big warehouse and crammed into a basement listening room - used giant RCA multi-cell horns in combination with giant Ubangi bass bins, passive crossovers and vintage WE or ...

Hi Roman... the installation is a combined joint-venture between Endo-san of ALE (bespoke drivers and horns) and Be Yamamura's (45 W solid state Class A amps and digital software and hardware).
Jean Hiraga, like my...

When I thoghut my system is aducated enough, I bought a Organ CD (Organ Treasures from Opus3). I was so dissapointed. My system is able to foolme somehow to listen to almost every type of music but Organ is impossible, it is the least convincing.Rega...

Recently I had my second extended visit to hear Macondo system. I decided to post my listening impressions because this is one of the two best in home installations I have ever heard. The pictures you have seen of the Macondo system look quite ...

You can get all the advice from the experts but you might as well start with something.But at least with pro sound like VOID, Funktion One, or Meyer Sound, you can rent the system, listen to it for a while and begin to dissect what it is you like abo...

I can only offer a simple solution to this problem.Decide on which row you wish to place digital services. I would also include anything that has a switched mode power supply because of the Y capacitor thing. Assume Row 1 will be used for digital s...

each unit is connected to a separate adeptResponse power conditioner which has shielding for hot, ground and neutral. Each goes to a separate 30 amp circuit breaker on the systems in room 100amp feed from a 200 amp service. Had a separate ground po...

The question in my mind Romy is: why? I will be interested to hear your comment on what your goal was to learn about your system in introducing these and what the results are. After the extent to which you have described the sound of your...

One thing that is unclear is the mid/HF crossover. Is there more information?Is the system triamped with S15's or biamped with 2 x S30 and S15? You say the crossover is at 15khz yet the UT-045be has a built in switchable passive crossover which ...

If you are happy and enjoy the sound, that is all that matters!Do you have pics of your system?What drivers are you using? JBL 2441? Tweeters?What version of UBH do you have?I have a very close friend with a wonderful Edgarhorn system, I understand t...

[quote user="unicon"]HolaAs in High-end audio world we don't have our HiFi doctors arrived yet; I think it is best to share here[/quote]It's because your system sounds crap to you and you have no hope to cure it. It happens also when nobody gets inte...

I could live happily with a 2 or 3 way system which were above 95dB/w to be used with some SET amp in the 20-30wpc range, covering just from about 60Hz to 16KHz, provided it fits a domestic, shared-purpose room. I'd only ask for right tone, effortles...
