Steve Schell and I are currently using Le Cleach horns in our system, The more I listen to them, the more I like them. They sound slightly less directional and beamy than a tractrix, and overall an extremely pleasant sound. W...

|
Romy, the first time that I noticed that the speaker wires are very important to the sound was when Steve put some very expensive audiophile wires in place of our normal magnet wire. I walked into the room while familiar musi...

Hi drdna, Three things that I have found that can seriously damage the performance of our horn system is: Speaker location, heavy gage or multi stranded speaker wire, and room reflections. When you locate the speakers, m...

Romy, when I first visited your site and saw the Macondos, I realized that this guy is for real, he is really looking for the right way to reproduce audio. There are certain laws of physics that can't be cheated, and not...

That is really funny about the Macondo's, I think they are just incredible looking. It's amazing how people have such different likes and dislikes.Rich Drysdale...

Jeffery, I think Romy brought up some good points about moving the crossover up. I've always wanted to push it down, to use the hf driver more as a full range unit, which is probably the wrong to go. Steve proved this to me when we ...
|
|
You have some very good ideas, some I hadn't thought of before, the main reason for the 300hz crossover is to keep the crossover out of any important areas of music and voices. Moving the crossover up might solve some problems, especially the huge hf...

|
Romy, You make all very good points. I probably shouldn't call the front of the driver a phasing plug, because actually the long wavelengths really don't care much about the shape of the exit, they will just pass right through...

|
Romy, Our bass driver has a 12v field coil motor, it developes just over 20 kilogauss flux density using a low carbon steel pole piece. The exit diameter is 4 inches at the moment. The diaphragm is 6 inches in diameter and mad...
|
|
So Jeffery, do you want one or two? Finally, just today I picked up a chuck that will allow me to easily finish some drivers. They are 9 inches in dia. and I've really been struggling with undersized tooling. You have to...
|
|
Romy, You have a most different and refreshing way of understanding and explaining audio, sometimes I have trouble following your discussions, but I find your ideas most intriguing. By fast bass, ...

Hi Romy, Hi Jeffrey Steve and I have been working on the bass compression driver for quite some time now, about 3 weeks ago we made some design changes that really paid off, as of now I'm convinced that a compression driver is...
|
|
Hi Romy, I've been following your progress, it seems that you are drawing some very similar conclusions to what Steve Schell and I have learned. The bass horn has to be the proper size in order to work well, we are having ext...

|
Romy I think for many people it's not even possible to reach a level of musical spiritual force. I've talked to Dr. Edgar at length about this, he and I believe that to have this feeling about music, one needs ...
|
|
Do you think it would be possible to find the proper location by using a smaller pair of speakers, and then substitute in the big horns? At least to get to a close position? Our big horns are rarely moved more than a couple of inches in any direction...
|
|
Excellent post Romy. Definitely the room treatments and speaker locations are probably the most important part of the overall system. I have heard good speaker systems in poor surroundings, if the setup isn't right, nothing c...

|
Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the throat exit.Rich Drysdale...
|
|
Very interesting application Romy, I really like the adjustment system that you built in. I have some EV tweeters in the shop, never even listened to them. Steve Schell and I haven't gotten to the point of trying tweeters in our field coil system yet...
