BOX STUFFING"It is very light and has hair from one side." and "glue the box with 3-5cm of high-density foam".- Do you use both a high-density foam and the light and hairy material on top of that, or are they the same?- Do you mean to glue on 3-5cm t...

Hello Romy,Here are some photos of what's been going on here: http://www.webbtjanst.se/lenco/loudspeakers.aspThe room modes I thought I had to battle suddenly disappeared the other day when I decided to try stuffing the boxes a bit. Suddenly everythi...

I am always curious about those silly lines.The 230V 165mA point for the LF sections does not look so bad to me... maybe a bit of expansion effect, which could be good for counteracting some evil within the LF drivers.If I understand right,...

"A few days ago Clark Johnson visited me and I played to him the Third movement of Mravinsky 1961 performance of Tchaikovsky IV. I love what Mravinsky did with this movement and I pretty much calibrate the bass balance of my playback using this Mravi...

Haha. Replace every "Tchaikovsky" with "Nietzsche", and it's pretty much my view.Well. Pain is pain, and anger is anger. It's boring to me when artists and philosophers are judged as creating out of misery, rather than pointing to something great and...

Yes! The first movement of the fourth certainly is wonderful.This is great music, and the images of furry hats marching to tragic war in -60C winter when I hear these symphonies have disappeared, leaving only the sense of greatness of spirit.The #6 i...

Truckloads of ecstasy tonight!Two LF boxes are finished, and it makes me giggle to think that you have twelve. :DOut of a billion mp3:s and ripped CD:s, the first movement of Tchaikovskys (Mravinsky) 5th and the fourth of Beethovens 9th have jus...

I ordered the Bartok piano concertos 1,2 & 3 with Bronfman / Salonen and loved itGot their Rachmaninov piano concertos 2 & 3 recording today and loving it.Now, what's left in Salonen / Bronfman recordings seems to be Shostakovich pi...

I'm looking for more recordings of my favourite Bartok works.These are the ones I got, in order of preference:Piano Concertos #1 & #2:Yefim Bronfman and Esa-Pekka Salonen + Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra (Sony)Superb! Seems like these guys ha...

I bought a silent PC and am greatly enjoying a few classical channels:http://theclassicalstation.org/today.shtmlhttp://mronline.radio.hu/BARTOK.HTMhttp://www.whrb.org/pg/JanFeb2006.htmlSeems like a great way to get "started"!...on newly fine tuned ho...

Thank you Antonio. I now believe that those natural resonances were what I was hearing, and that they are very painful when the loudspeakers have limited bandwidth!I've listened to Caballé again, now with MF and LF connected, and now the resonan...

I have finished both big horns enough to listen in stereo, and the throats are now much smoother.I'm not using the MF horns, and have been listening all night. It has been a remarkable experience! (well, the inner-me objects and claims there's nothin...

I wish I could pin-point the frequencies and explain the effect better. I'll do my best.I want to cover my ears when a Pavarotti sings certain higher notes or some notes when Caballet sings pretty "comfortably".It's like bad PA horns or horrible acou...

Hello John,The woofer is Fane Studio 8M and throat diameter on the 115Hz horn is 5.56".The initial 4.5" depth of the throat is made up by 6 MDF pieces with rough edges (awaiting bondo smoothing).I can easily add 3/4" pieces to the throat section to m...

Yes, all you said about the Fostex and heavy mouth MF seems reasonable. I don't know what's wrong, but I get the feeling that it's sort of hollow-sounding and could be much more loaded. I'll finish the horns completely before any final conclusions.In...

http://www.webbtjanst.se/lenco/loudspeakers.asp shows some photos of unfinished horns. Comments on mouse-over.The 250Hz horns are probably not super optimal since I'm crossing over at, I think, around 1600Hz right now. Yes, the little horns...

Hello Romy,The music links don't work for me. They're pointing at http://localhost/...?I'd love to hear some music.Been up all night stirring up the second upper bass horn. Halfway done. =)/Ronnie...

Thanks for the wolves- and power tips!I don't know any industry wolves unfortunately(?), but more new -01 drivers have appeared at half the price. I think I'll go ahead and make the speakers full range in time for my upcoming 30-years-on-earth-c...

Hello again,I've found four Scan-Speak 25w/8565-01 and possibly two -00 for sale at a good price.I'm triamping as of today and hope it's a good idea to start with the four and perhaps add more when I can afford it.- Do you think the 01 version would ...

I have been enjoying the "Euroclassic Notturno" (BBC?) program on swedish radio tonight. As a happy rookie in the world of classical music, I seek advice on Tchaikovsky based on what I just heard; His Symphony No. 5.I thought: "Horrible waltz mi...

Hello Roman and friends,Here's a first post from me, to say hi and let you know why I've joined and perhaps ask a few questions...I'm building a pair of loudspeakers, with close to zero experience with loudspeaker building, hoping that the ...
