Depending on the UseCase, many things can influence the sound. Rectifiers, snubbers, impedance, corner frequency, speed, an inductor in series, regulation, isolation from the mains grid all are parameters to consider.I do not know of any really serio...

As I was not present during the magic moment of the Dunnoys (or Dannoys), I can not assume anything but considering the initial aftermath documented here, perhaps that "moment" had more to do with stars/sun/moon lining up, DPOLS for a week or a speci...

Amir, Romy was actually very specific about why he was critical of Melquiades/Macondo. Even in old posting, he made a point of mentioning that he very much knew what weaknesses he had. To be honest, I believe that his real motivations for change are ...

The loss of life, the senseless destruction of cities and towns, breaking up of families is what bothers me. Very few countries truly have a working system of getting the best public servants - especially at the top - or getting rid of them. Orchestr...

Thank you Romy for the insider view of the "Russian soul".
The mistake here is the military instead of the KGB? Perhaps. Funny enough, Swan Lake was on the radio today.

With paper cones, there is always the issue of humidity. The woofer cones behave much differently depending on the amount of moisture, ambient temperature - perhaps even air pressure? Maybe we need some information in this direction?...

I really notice the absence of any discussion of the melody range. Tannoy tweeter and red midbass seem to be getting all of the attention. I wonder if the reds problem with loud, may be located in the melody range. The problem is something I would pr...

My playback is specifically for ME. I am not so much interested in hearing if the trumpet player farts, but am very interested in the orchestral fabric and how players move their instruments in and out of that. Row 15, refers to my favorite row at th...

[quote user="Paul S"]...Certainly, in the end, I have "rated" my own systems on Musical "Satisfaction", which I put in quotes because what keeps my interest at any given point in time seems to vary, at least somewhat. Hard to imagine stopping on one...

The crossover will be determined by the room and NOT the Tannoy. I remember a post where an 80 Hz room issue was covered by the crossover - I think from the woofer tower to the midbass back then. Then another post came where the woofer towers were di...

Jarek,I am a professional musician, and am very much in "tune" with creative processes.A random result is not automatically "bad", but because of its "randomness", there is a lot of ground to cover BEFORE one can even think about further steps. Case ...
|
|
In Macondo/Melquiades thinking, random process means random result - and that is exactly what happened with Dunnoy. A random driver was placed in a random cabinet with a random passive radiator and random cabinet damping. All subsequent attempts to r...

It does not surprise me that your current setup is "missing" so much. I am positive that if you get 100 pieces of exactly your model of Tannoy, they will ALL sound different.I do not have a test for this, but feel that point source in this context ha...
|
|
IF the Remedios cabinets have more volume than the Dunnoy, you just put bricks inside Remedios until you have the same volume. I assume that EVERY Tannoy Red will have a different resonance frequency. They are old and have certainly not been played t...

We have university level training for professional musicians, conductors, recording engineers, scientists and doctors for perception/hearing. Hell, we even have doctors to reprogram our brain to "stop" hearing Tinnitus - but no training for LISTENING...

We have all run into the situation that IF we toe in the speakers, we increase localization of the recorded sonic events, if we toe out, the "imaging" becomes more diffuse. I will maintain that for a given type of listener and genre, we do not have t...

|
When the stars align and the playback through a stroke of luck happens to align with that the recording/mastering is. The problem is that recording engineers are not recording for audiophile playback. They use tons of microphones to create an "intell...

Actually, it is fascinating to see someone who has well defined objectives on slippery ice. What surprised me was the extreme cut off of the Macondo - somewhat like an unfaithful wife, but actually (from my view) Macondo was 100% faithful to its crea...

My view of Gödels "incompleteness" has more to do with systems not being able to verify themselves from within. This certainly can apply to audio in that the playback specifications can be very "qualified" but the "quality" must be found outside of t...

Of course some of us can have all that we need in one serious audio system - just like some of us can have all that we need with one wife, one car, one trumpet. That being said, some of us are NOT happy with one of anything and “need” a wife and love...

It is comforting to know that the Vitavox is in the running with the Tannoy. I am very interested in the results - also with the crossover intentions....

Maybe with the Dunnoy, we have a “working” point source? Perhaps this type of “point source” puts audio playback artifacts in a better location than with the traditional spread of drivers?...

As the recordings themselves are missing so much information, creating a plausible image (certainly not the original) is the actual “art” involved.I must admit that I do not generally have issues with singers mouths stretching between the speakers or...

Being a trumpeter, I certainly have an opinion about this - on many levels.I believe one of the major benefits of a trumpet (horn) is the ability to completely melt into the orchestral fabric or with ease move outside when MY voice in my opinion has ...
