[quote user="Romy the Cat"] There are some advantages in S3 design that feel might be beneficial for sub 1K use of S3 drivers. The S3 had more accurately made output channel. I think it shell more benefit FH but who knows… Also, and this is a very bi...

Well, I guess I have to pass some observations about the new Living Voice Vox Olympian.
I did not listen them, did not talk to the people who behind the Living Voice and all that I know about them are the Six Moans articles and a few threads ...
|
If the setup is semi acceptable, after ten years one should lose the evaluation part of listening experience and treat the system like a kitchen radio or car playback and simply enjoy the music. I think ten years is a minimum to achieve the position ...

Despite my generally-negative experience of driving Vitavox S2 from field-coil I might consider to try in the coming year the same experiment one more time, since I am driving my MF driver now by a different DHT amp. I would like to see how the D...
|
Whoever followed my bothersome experiments in search for a better diaphragm for Vitavox S2 driver knows that I lately spent quite a lot time trying to make the original metal suspension diaphragm to work. There are a LOT of advantages in those diaphr...
|
Romy,I think there are many of us that follow your audio endeavours with a lot of interest and a lot of envy. I'm not talking about having the money to buy the Vitavox S2 etc.. I wish I had the ability to come up with interesting speakers/ampli...
|
Mark, what is it exactly that you have heard from the S2s that attracted you in the first place? This is important, I think, because this is what you have as a starting point, to work from and to use as a reference point as you develop the soun...

hi alli found a company in china wich can produce the compression drivers on my request. has anyone the exact specifications and drawings of the vitavox s2 driver ? that's of course essencial to get them made. i will also send a email to t...

ROMY Your analogy of fitting the foot to the shoe is on the right track... Some times you need is a better pair of sox,,,You dont need to change the decorum of the Symphony hall..When you have a shitty orchestra,,, Sometimes rearranging the musicio...
|
Rony, the Vitavox S2 is an interesting MF driver for 110dB sensitivity. In near or sub 100dB there are plenty interesting MF performers. The Lowther doing MF only and do not stretched for idiotic full range is very good option and Horning did show it...
|
The idea of making a copy of an s2 driver also intrest me, but i have some other ideas than just copying this driver.I have been thinking to make this driver with an field coil magnet a 12 volts (using a car or camping battery) and a 250 volts versio...
|
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 ...
|
I have posted this idea at the Peter’s Vitavox site a few month back but there is no activity at that site. It sucks that there are no advanced S2 users out there. I am planning to try it myself and in a month or so and will report the result. ...

Collin,
I do not remember that I wrote that Trios are “duller”. In fact I do not remember I ever wrote anything about Trios in comparing to my current hors. Furthermore, my “Macondo” derived for the Trios and practically fully inherited the Trio’s ...

[quote user="zako"]THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS ADVANCED THE DESIGN OF A MODERN DRIVER IS JBL,,, GOING FROM THE WESTERN ELECTRIC DESIGN TO THE 375,,376...PRO VERSION 2440,,2441... TO the 2450 types..USEING COHERIENT PHASE PLUG DESIGN TOPOLIGY that unit...

I was sitting in my fireplace room; eating my freshly cooked oyster mushrooms and listening a master dub of Munch and BSO take on Damnation De Faust. No matter how primitive the setup was in this room the experience was enjoyable even sound was annoy...

Listening my Altec 21S, even for movies, I do detect that it has some kind of lower MF problem, somewhere within 500-2000Hz. Here is the dilemma, what to do with it in 2–way speaker? Pretty much nothing… Since I use the original Altec 19 crossove...
|
Putting together a speaker system that ticks all your boxes is a lot like doing anything else well: it is fine to experiment in order to find your range and learn your options but once you choose a path you must stick to it. Chopping and changing i...
|
Jessie, actually I do not think you have seen me complaining about his chose of material (the only problem is the he need to fonish it other the metal). I know little about metals but I am sure that that the thing has a mass, in regard to 500Hz,...
|
I shall put your questions to him Romy.
He is in a difficult position. Does he make a the driver using the tooling/knowledge/supplier information he has acquired from Vitavox(and change nothing)? This would be actually be a Vitavox S2 (not a repro...
|
Hi Romy,Got my new Le Cleach tractrix horns (320hz) for the Vitavox S2's. I'm x-ing over at 600hz with 2nd order 12db/Octave which I know is barbaric for you but it is all I have for the moment. With the new horns the S2s are puttin...
|
Thanks, serenechaos. I have a 37FRP is looks like falling on my laps, OK, I made it falling on my laps. It is as I understand the slowest GOTO MF. What I am interested is to see if GOTO will be able to add any value beyond where I am with my Vitavox ...
|
Chris,I wonder what your like in the Quads, the actual performance of the loudspeaker or the way in which those delay lines shape the front of the attack wave? Anyhow I thin to mention the Quad in the Vitavox S2 thread would not be ethical… :-)...
|
We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...
|
[quote user="jeff1225"]Roomy,I have read the posts from two years ago on your multi-cell horns. What was the final verdict? I don't see them for sale so I assume you've kept them. I'm curious where you stand on using 18 cell horns as the main midrang...

If you following the thread about my new listing room:

The texture of the strings is a huge subject. Audio has so much control over it! it would probably worth to have a new dedicated thread that would map the audio efforts to the expressionism of different group instruments, separate do string, upper an...
|
[quote user="cv"]Little suggestion should all else fail - you could have a rudimentary phase plug machined that would give you the same (or similar) compression ratio as the original but only one annular exit path. This might preserve the driver char...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I thought that the folks who are interesting where I am going with my Macondo should know that am still working with Vitavox S2[/quote]OK, I think now I’ve learned whatever I need to learn about this driver. In order to und...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
I do not know any advantages because the fact that the sound softer. I personally believe that the electromagnets have HIGHER MOMENTUM FLUX MODULATION and that make them to “sit” slightly… or exactly what I would like t...
