R,Please excuse me if this is straying from the subject... feel free to move.Anyway, I was in NYC until Wednesday evening, and I assume I know what is motivating you to abandon Macondo/Melquiades in the hot summer months... what I don't understand is...

Gregm, you see, the Murata tweeters have no sensitively and vary narrow diagram and that makes those type of the drivers unusable, even if to accept then hypothetically. With the resonant frequency over 100Khz that those type of the tweeters beg to b...

Here is a homage to the Macondo, or at least two channels of it - 400Hz tractrix with S2 and a 140Hz tractrix with Fane 8M. A T350 for HF and an as yet undefined LF solution is to be added. The horns are from Stereo Lab, with the la...

[quote user="decoud"] The tweeter I thought could go below the MF. [/quote] Not going to work properly. The EV T350 is 120 by 60 degree tweeter met to work in vertical configuration. If I were you I would lower you MF until it edge along with upperba...

To save people from researching the differences between Romy's and my systems, I'll note the principal differences here, ignoring our ongoing mid-bass projects, which will be different, but both are incomplete, so not yet in the picture.As concerns t...

The EV 350 cones are still available form many sources, they are $25 per cone. There are some other phenolic domes for 1” driver, or smaller. I do not know anyone who does 3”-4” phenolic domes that would make them suitable for MF drivers.
As far as ...

Here are some images how I resolved my EV-T350 tweeter along with a transition slope attenuator.

A second opinion needed.
Interesting, I recently found a very-very well performing setting for my EV T350 tweeter. I changed the source for HF channel form amplifier’s output to the MF channel and now I source the HF channel AFTER the MF high-pass f...

Hi Romy and thanks a lot for the always interesting topics and discussions going on... I'm quite new to DPoLS and consider the approach of "obtaining sound in a room" more than "speakers positioning" - too often to WAF fullfillment and aesthetics, th...

All-I'm optimizing new speakers, but the deep subject matter is a little new to me. Will this work?Using a pair of Welborne Labs DRD300B SET amps (tapped 8ohms) with a 3-way passive crossover to integrate these drivers. Here is ...

Roman.
This last "venture " of yours is most welcome .A lot of of the people I know and most of the listeners from audio shows are always surprised when small monitors produce big bass and try to
impress with big sound. I never liked this "pushe...

It is incredible how stupid sometimes our audio steps are. A few days ago I was complaining that sound of my T350 tweeter suddenly started to bother me but it was no the problem with the tweeter but rather the problem with my own moronity.
A f...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]What you say may be true. I'm not sure there was an amplifier available in the mid to late 1980's that would have been suitable for these. They did get good reviews but I suspect that some of this was due to awe inspired by...

My excrements with the RAAL “Water Drop” tweeter are gong on. It looks like it much more complicated to make it to work in Macondo but I hope I will get there. I have some preliminary feeling about the drivers but they are too row and I do not feel t...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

Thanks Romy, Paul, and Ronnie for the comments and encouragement :
Here are some responses :
1) Rubber gaskets :
Maybe it is not so important to have an “air-tight” seal (???). The rubber gaskets are there to seal the cover to the rear chamber...
