[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Hi romy, thanks for info. I am going to stick with the 2-stage plan then as it will not be DSET but full range and my mid-bass is somewhat barbaric at this point. I have found someone to build for me, though we ha...

Not saying these are not better than most, but too little is said here of objectives, and too much is made of the "quality" of the bits and pieces, themselves, IMO. And servo is nothing new, if that's what this is:

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hi Romy!
The 515-8GPH were in same scale as the 515G with slightly above 35Hz resonance frequency and 103 sensitivity - a very good candidate for 60Hz horn. The 10” throat? No bolls to go for 9”, how about 8”? ...

I found an interesting flow in the sound of my current OPTS and while it will be certified I am experimenting with park of amorphous core transformers that left over from my former projects. I am trying to remap my Tribute but it is just 40mA. It...

Thanks, floobydust.
There are a lot of interesting points in you post to consider. What speaker you drive with your 2A3? If they are relatively high sensitively (like compression drivers) then did you consider going with a single stage? I think I ha...

There is no "one tube DHT amp." There are only amps with gain in one box or two boxes.
Your 6E5P tube is not so special. People have been making WE437 spud amps since the 1960s. There is a class of amps that use a high-gm tube driver and a DHT out...

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...

Well, this is what I call “beautiful but” category. Unquestionably
it is very creative, firm, light and very attractive, and it is wonderful to solicit
appreciation of simpletons-morons who did so in the comments. There is no need to talk about so...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...
