[quote user="tuga"]I really meant to illustrate the fact that Point Source does not exist in "real life" and that it's analogy with a single driver makes no sense (then there is the question of live vs. recorded-and-then-reproduced sound and live sou...

John Sheerin? I have come across what this character does on-line. I am not familiar with him personally but I am NOT a big fun of what he does. He moves his hands in space and sometimes as the resume of his hands moment some horn are built up. H...

[quote user="oxric"]Hi Romy,First of all, as things stand in the sketch, the mast sits atop the legs, a horribly precarious position given the weight that will be applied away from the centre of mass of the structure. This sketch is an early ...

I really enjoy this site. Romy has a fresh view that is actually easy to understand, if one simply reads instead of interpreting what he writes.Still, a view from "higher up" is something that many of us are not privileged to. Looking at the major co...

Yes, Jim, you put it very well. Still in case of the 6C33C it only possible to cool the glass and I made experiments blowing a strong flow to the glass and it did cool down the plates. The problem is that it is not a good idea to apply a strong flow ...

Well, it is not necessary a fully qualified urban legend as the problem does take please with fixed based 6C33C but..... only under certain conditions. I have written about it a lot on my site but will very briefly recall it again.

I connected the loudspeaker to check if the music was flowing from it. The amplifier works !!! I hear the music!!!
I'm exhausted.

If you follow this thread and my successes and tribulation with PurePower regenerators than you remember that I had problem with sound running two PP2000 for right and left channels. So, I had everything, including my DAW plugged into on PP2000,...

Hi, gravetones
I asked myself the same question many time and even bought a few years back one of the APC on-line power supply. It is unquestionable that PurePower is an adaptation of a regular commercial on-line power regenerator and all that...

Potentiometers:

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Ok, I got my two more PP2000, not I have 3 all together and I need to find how to use them. My little celebratory mood with PP2000 is much shorn live and my old PP2000 flying back today to Canada for fixing the problem with...

The people who use a single driver speaker believe the while their driver move back and forth for it also radiates a problem-free MF and HF. Near the same people believe that if an amp has capacitors with precious metals foil then it not only do ...

Drdna, generally I would not agree that your assessment of the EdgarHorns is correct. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in them that would prevent them to "disappear" in the room. [/quote]Well, this is good news.&nbs...

The best sound that I ever heard in my life ironically came from an amateur band. It was in the 1999 and I was in Munich, hanging around Europe in search for sensations. In the center Munich, where all visitors crowded around Munich’s center platz, t...

Here are a number of threads at my site where the concept of “Rightsizing from extreme systems....” is pitched. I looked into the “second” systems not because I was interested in “different sound”. In fact I insist that multiple playbacks in the same...

Ok, I blamed the tweeters and MF drivers now the turn of the MF horns. The Mid Frequency Horns (I’ll them “MFH” from now and on) are the stinky like pieces of horn installations, and if they are not done correct then they screw up anything big time T...

[quote user="JLH"] One of the things that is not talked about with tapped horns is they are more directional than a normal subwoofer. They do not excite the entire room with omnidirectional sound. [/quote]

Looking at the pictures of CES I came across a new Seoul-based company Silbatone Acoustics that show off a new speaker “APORIA” in Vegas. It is a back-loaded Manger.
What I read the company philosophy I was not pleased.

Thanks, for posting the link. I never heard about this company.
