Yes, I know. I was referring the famous story that Heifetz before the recording insisted that he name will be printed first, before the pianist and cellist. The problem is that that in all trios the name of pianist printed first. Reportedly Gregor Pi...

Romy,Very briefly. I am wasting my time writing this response, and probably yours as well, but let me again, as you say, bite the bait and respond anyway.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Did you ever ask why would I need it or want it? I laugh enough to...

As usual on Sunday evenings, I listened via headphones to the weekly local FM classical music broadcast. Last night they wound up with a phenomenal piece - Contact - from American composer Kevin Puts, played by a string trio - Time For Three - fronti...

Yep, it is a wonderful work. I heard it but kind of overlooked it but your mentioning made me to review my attention. BTW, Ravel has even greater work: The Trio for piano, violin and cello is. I juts was playing my live recording from WGBH’s st...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...
|

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, glad to hear you are starting to 'get' Shostakovich, Romy. He has been one of my very favourite composers for many years. The 10th is my fave DSCH symphony - I have 10 recordings in my collection. I don't hav...

Romy, thanks for the tip. One of the great joys in my life is being bowled over by a work and/or performance with which I am not familiar, such as the Cleveland's Ravel Quartet in F. I will have to find a CD or LP of the Boston's Ravel Trio, or may...

I'd say there were fundamental issues in music reproduction which need to be got right (specifically within the design/implementation of the transducers) before worrying about the presentational niceties that omnidirectivity appears to addr...

You said are lucky to get hornloading down to 150Hz. Then I guess you suggest you will end up at maybe 175Hz. Hornloading a compression driver down to 175Hz is not too difficult and the horn will not be larger than the Avantgarde Trio midbass horn, a...

I was listening to some of this past year's Honens piano 'competition' and was exposed to a german named Hinrich Alpers.If he wants to play whatever it is he's playing you can really tell and the emotional contrasts through colours on the piano are i...

[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...

my vitavox S2's finally arrived today.i was not expecting great results with all the warnings i read on this site,especially with the klangy stock 4 cell 330hz vitavox horn.i know refinement when i hear it.i have heard avantgarde's duo, trio,i even h...

I don't know where you are Chris but get a decent aerial for it mounted on the roof if you can manage it. There was some great stuff on R3 today including a comparison of many of the best versions of the Brahms clarinet trio and some tremendous live ...

Romy,I got your pointmy answer was to Jordi´s post, I just used your answer to quote him and follow the line.I just mean that it is not "true" that, as jordi wrote, a classical pianist is a "worst" performer just for playing classical, or that a jazz...

I was wondering how the record heat would affect your progress. Lucky you.Interesting observations about the air cap. Of course I am curious whether the added clarity additionally rewards/punishes +/- precision with VTA/SRA?I have zero ex...

Hi Romy, I suppose I carry in my head, a general approximation of the sound of an orchestra. Whether that is how it sounds in a hall in Birmingham, London, Tallin, Paris or wherever else I've been to concerts doesn't matter. While the acous...

RCA Victor, LM1119 (mono LP that sounds better in "stereo")OK, I admit to liking music that puts me into an altered state (of mind), such as this, Debussy's La Mer and Franck's D minor Symphony, etc.. This piece certainly warrants comparison with Rav...

hi Dominic i made myself the same question regarding the high frequencies in the orphean horn. the reason is probably because this horn has no compression, and the horn length is not so deep, and the exit diameter is 2 inch, quit big. If you read my ...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

It is a shame that I keep finding threads about a 300Hz compression driver channel, that ends abruptly. I have been trying with a not-so-exact Goto S-150 replica (~1.7m deep, 75cm diameter mouth), and I know of another fellow in Sweden who tried the ...
