Romy,
Why preface my comments ? I've had the same system for 10 years basically. I do use digital crossovers but the 'Class D' NuForce amps are not digital at all. And the NuForce amps don't sound like stereotypical Class D amps, they are very quie...

Paul,The two channel system is separate from the HT system - the gigantic plywood folded horn subwoofers support the screen but that's the only connection to the HT audio system.The HT system is three Orb Audio 8" powered subwoofers, 3 x Gallo Ref. S...

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...

Years ago, the two different systems in which I heard RCA 1428s - in a fairly big warehouse and crammed into a basement listening room - used giant RCA multi-cell horns in combination with giant Ubangi bass bins, passive crossovers and vintage WE or ...

Thank you Romy and congratulations on your website, it just keeps getting better and better all the time.
The RCA1428 is a great sounding driver on RCA multi-cell horns. Not that I like multi-cell sound. I have never heard an original 1428 on a tra...

Romy,To clear up a few things about the Kilimanjaro RCA1428 clones.The B&C DCM50 is a modern, neodymium clone/copy of the RCA MI-1428B. It was designed and built by B&C in Italy after Bill Woods of AHhorns talked the CEO into it. The DCM50 is...

Jorge,
I know what you mean about horns, Living Presence. I love what my horns do. Palpability. Solidity. In an invisible sort of way.
I have two Ampex 300s downstair...

Hi Scooter,
Thanks for joining the discussion. My replies to your comments are below, please excuse the cut-n'paste.
Thanks for taking the time to post more details on your set up and photos.

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 ).

Jorge,
You're right about using identical amps. No doubt.
I have not used Dr. Edgar's passive network but I have tried conventional passive networks on Edgarhorns. They worked alright.
And I have...

ACTIVE CROSSOVERS
1) Loudspeaker drive units of different sensitivities may be used in one system without the need for lossy resistive networks ( and L-Pads ) or transformers

Any time Adrian, email me privately and we will set it up. I don't mind if you report your impressions if you don't mind me doing the same.You're probably correct in your suspicion, different strokes for different folks. Objectively spe...

Yup, that's me alright, a "confided" ( whatever that means ) fine eater, good TV viewer, good voter and considerate pedestrian with his butt between his ears.

Romy,Thanks for your kind remarks but the proof of the cook is in the pudding, if you are ever on the west coast you should drop by and have a taste. I doubt whether I will ever get to Boston, don't travel much, but I'd be interested in listening to...

Hi Romy,Always nice to correspond with you, thanks for your comments.I used the term 'sophisticated' literally: so - phis - ti - cat - ed Adjective: 1. ( of a machine, system, or technique ) Developed to a high degree of complexity.As do you, I prefe...

Hi Jorge, Marc, Adrian, Romy et al,First off, Jorge what's your asking price on the modified DEQX ? Which model is it ? Who did the mods and what are they ? I am very interested.Adrian, as I recall you live in San Francisco. You are sti...

Greetings,
I may be able to answer some questions regarding crossovers, multi-amping, etc. - without getting bogged down, hopefully, in metaphysical issues.
First off, I live in San Francisco, if he's inclined 'drdna' and other locals are wel...

Romy,
Even using " digital dreck " ( and not knowing what " interesting imaging " might be ) my horns image very very well. Only in the sweet spot, but that's fine with me.
For instance, on good recordings I am easily able to hear/see if/when...

Romy,
Funny stuff... especially the the AN piece. Equally surprised octopodes ? Brilliant !
As for the Bruce Edgar post ? Not as funny. And it's off base.
The Titan II system has a straight axis upper bass horn instead of a folded upper bas...

Romy,
>If Bruce suggests that his folded upper bass horns works better then his straight horn, and if it is correct (do not forget the he said about his horns), then it means absolutely nothing.>
Dr. Edgar - who designed and hand made the...

Antonio,
Bruce Edgar sells an excellent all front-loading horn system, the Titan, which works well in small rooms. He will sell you unfinished horns, and you can find/buy the drivers yourself if you are a DIY guy, or on a budget. Considering the...

Romy,
More to come soon but a couple comments regarding bass horns ( and one on Tractrix horns ) :
The Edgar Seismic subwoofer ( 18" JBL E155-4 hyperbolic-exponential folded horn, 40 Hz Fc ) works very well in my room - much better than the 1...
