Just some scattered points:1) I gather the Acapella plasma tweeters have a catalyst so you don't get the nasty oxides/ozone etc. Got some old ionofanes on the way so will know soon how well they freshen up the room... They are self-amplified so ...

Thanks, Scooter.I am glad to hear from someone so quickly.I've been an "audiophile" for only 10 years or so. With the Edgarhorns, I am currently using a Cyrus Brenneman integrated amp (KT100). I also have a Yamamoto custom 2A3 (single plates) w...

[quote user="zanon"]Romy:IF a person does have personal objectives to shape sound, then what additional options do they get with a 3-way off the shelf B&W that they do not have with full range driver?[/quote] Zanon, I think this is a whole point ...

[quote user="haralanov"] Even if he has his channels time aligned at digital domain, the fact that they are arranged in the horizontal plane, especially with the tweeters placed on the outer side in context of the other channels, makes his system abs...

Hello,I just logged myself in so first of all: Hi Everybody ;)Few days ago I aquired a pair of very interesting 3way horn speakers which seem, as I imagine, to ba an ambitious DIY project from the past. These are basically the Altec Vott A7 replicas ...

Hi Romy Im just trying to imagine that. If you got to keep the vertical offset small, between the ways, this would rip a hole in the middle, wouldnt it ? Also bit surprising as i thought you liked the injector on the ground initially. I hope I unde...

Hi Paul,The Cogent diaphragm I have seen pictures of was woven carbon fiber with a leather outer surround. I have never listened to a Cogent 1428 but they must sound very good, at least Bill Woods and Bruce Edgar say so.Besides their overall ultra cl...

[quote user="montepilot"]This past weekend I was able to have an extended listen to the revised Melchiades amplifers. My previous listening session left something to be desired with midbass punch and dynamics. Had I not have heard mini me it may no...

I play trumpet professionally, I conduct semi professionally. Neither of those two characteristics helps me with (expensive or any other) audio. Actually they are in fact more in the way.As a trumpet player, much of what I hear comes from the wrong s...

No idea how one blends in a random passive radiator, and I gave up on it after a year or two, many years ago. But if you can put your ear to the passive radiator and hear it plays up into the midrange, then you will probably want to use something wit...

I have tried both SS and tubed PP with HF ribbons, but not until ML2s have I gotten the "calm HF" I wanted from the ribbons. I am still experimenting with the Audaphons, but they seem to do best from 4 Ohm tap. My little 2A3 SETs did...

Yes, it was not “allergy” but already, the benefit of the automated check speller but it is not the point. It is not about lofty standards. This web site is not about offering help or imposing help. I do not mind to help people and I do it extensivel...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
A moron would ask - is the best tweeter that I heard? I clearly have no idea and do not view the things in this way. A tweeter is not a self-contained element but it is an organic ingredient of the rest of installation.Rg...

[quote user="mumford"] As we are discussing Lynn Olson's new speaker, here is what it appears to have so far.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It might be a good driver but the horn section of it is very much compromised to begin with. If I have it I would consider substituting the original TAD horn with my own spherical horn. It might be difficult as it might be ...

[quote user="drdna"] Try a simple experiment. Connect only one driver at a time. Listen only to the ribbon tweeters. Now listen only to the woofers. Etc. Can you distinguish different heights for the image? [/quote] Of cause I can. [quote user="drdna...

It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They already had splurged for...

Ok; there's a mis-print somewhere, or a manufacturing change... The web site linked listed SG-370 as 23,000 gauss, and SG-370DX as 24,000 gauss. The goto brochure lists SG-370 as 24,000 gauss. And was discussed yesterday w/ someone, one doesn't re...

Allo RomyOk, I managed to get my measurement setup running. Behringer ECM8000/PC soundcard kind of thing.I measured the following tweeters:Focal TLRTAD PT-R9Aurum Cantus G1Fane 5022I don't have an absolute level calibrator and I need to take time to ...

Paul, wish you were on the East rather than west coast. Then you could hear what Romy and I have with our two systems with concert hall reproduction and judge for yourself what it adds to concert realism. Of course, half of what I have in reproductio...

Yes, centrally it is the speaker, actual not the speaker themselves but rather the speakers along with the entire reproductive chain. As far as the “speakers that doesn't peak at HF”… my do not, some other do not it as well. However the sufficiency o...

[quote user="Bud"] I have a really barbaric suggestion... of course. I can set you up with 8 lLinaeum, soft, live horn, dipole tweeters. Stacking 4 per side should see you at 103 dB sensitivity and 8 ohms of impedence. You can stack them without inte...

Part 5: HornsIt was quite bad, bad on all horns…..
The first was the “new horns guy” …

This year behaved quite nicely. Seeing me he immediately told that he has not...

Thanks for the advice Romy.But actually, I may not need new tweeters after all (for the time being, at least, until the dreaded 'Autumn Sound' arrives).You see, when I connected them up, I didn't really think too carefully about the speaker...
|

Haralanov, you might not get it from my actions, but I actually understand and agree with everything you are saying, in principle. At the same time, I have no idea how to address such a sharp peak mechanically, since adding mass as usual would just m...

Jorge,
You're quite welcome to visit any time you are in the SF Bay Area.
There's a photo attached to this post of my Blokhorn system ( modified Edgarhorn System 80 ).

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Listening what you are saying I wonder of is it possible that you in fact are taking about a very fine balance of HF in your playback? Just for a sake of experiment: when you feel that the “conditions are not met” anymore a...

No telling anymore how good these amps can get. Today the re-configured phono stage finally "burned in" and I used the ML2s for almost 5 hours. Although I have read that they keep improving as you use them, I was not really...

Here is what I substitute the Celestion original copper. It is Linaeum Lweeter modified by Bud Purvine from Seattle. I do appreciate the Celestion copper tweeter more – when it is new and works properly, but I have no copper tweeters anymore. The Lin...
