Kids in High Schools or even a Music Schools are listening ONLY and exlusively to I-Pods. Romy if you don't want to be bothered selling piece by piece ,sell it in bulk to record store for people who would want them and enjoy them or post t...

I use regular Lowther DX4 (ENABLED) . I don't think the 250-400 is stellar and I'm still waiting for the extension to try small throat for lower midrange (2,75") (B&C 8P21E driver) for 200-1000Hz . Here is Martin's opinion on the ...

have all the info ,with gallery pictures , trade secrets (how to roll on your own),pricess etc. Azura AH204 dia is ~31.5" and default depth for 8" driver ~12.75" .With 1.4" it will probably be close to 30" . Le Cleach flare is quite a bit bigge...

KlausMartin (Azura horn ) is making for me extension to 2.75" (BC 8p21)and 1.4" for 204 Hz (altec 288c) .He also developed 550 hz horn for S2 . He understands importance of smooth driver -throat transition . It would be ready to go solution for...

I ripped my Cd player (to old to mention ) output stage and replaced it with SS J-fet phono preamp .I took RIaa components out .The dac puts out only 20mV so the MM stage with separate PSU and discrete J-fet regulators seems adequte for the job. Whol...

What's there to speculate about ?? Speakers are rare and expensive and the principle is old JBL altec 19 solution. It is 100dB efficient probably from 80hz up .Whats the purpose of your post ??Did you hear them or looking for encouragement to b...

but it may be worthwhile for you since you're using OB's .I only heard very approximate version on Zilla baffles (Retsel) and I'll take horns with their coloration . I just was wrong assessing ENabl process . You can hear it for yourself and decide i...

Paul I have to admit being wrong about "BUdification" (enabl doted Lowther) process . I don't have explanation besides lenghty "brake -in " time but I would not bet on that. It may be a show stopper for you but I also admit liking them better in fron...

I still remember proposed solution for symetrical TAD 1201 horn loaded midbass sections. Was it to free listener from sweet spot low seat position ? I could imagine that that midbass horn performing up to 1000Hz sitting low on the floor would impair&...

[quote user="mark"]when i was having trouble sourcing fane 8m,i started searching for other alternatives.i figured well why not contact emminence.i questioned them if they could build fane 8m 16 ohm.they have a minimum 50 pc. order.anthony lucas sugg...

but I'm not going to compete with "S2 people " Following recommendation of John Hasquin I ordered B&C 21EP8 -16 . I'm cured form Fane for a time being and don't have S2 but "obsolete " altec 288c 24 Ohm on 400Hz horn . I was counting ...

So you're the guy from Florida willing to pay premium for FANe and undercutting my deal. I originally bought them from him and was waiting for shipping and instead got this:"Went to try order a courier today for the Fane Studio 8M's and t...

I have uneasy feeling that you did , haven't seen any other fane 8M for sale in months anywhere . ...

This is probably the reason I can listen to EV Patrician IV in relatively small space and close to the speaker without much of fatigue. The other factor must be that it's 4- way design with narrow band-pass for each horn. EV T25 2" phenolic com...

but Andy Grove who designs circuits and transformers for AN is. I'm sure he'd know very well what you're talking about. Whatever your opinion of AN sound is they have lots of experience with designing transformers for the circuits ,and they have reso...

[quote user="Paul S"]If a DHT for MF only, what sounds better than a 45? Best regards,Paul S[/quote]VT-52 -beautifull, rich and smooth sounding tube (yes even with simple CRC DC 6.3V filament supply) (some say that 50 is the best sounding DHT b...

if there was any taker not even mention for oportunity to get ML2 . It's not going to happen in this life though ;)I'm pretty sure that in writing the whole setup/tube procedure seems more tedious than in actual use. Sorry , I didn't want to be a pes...

Reading you guys I can hardly imagine how you can use this amp at all going trough the hassle with the tubes and bias.This amp needs to be monitored and pampered constantly and getting tha thing to work seems to be ceremony on it's own . How do...

that Romy exist at all. Nobody really saw him nor heard his system. Information is scarce and coming almost exlusively from The Cat himself. Personaly, I suspect that "Romy" is a collaborative effort of sadomasicist who run Audio Asylum .It is some s...

that will be more superior than anything else about which “The Absolute

of MTM arrangement of two TAD 1201 in <100 Hz Horn ? I assume they would both work in the same frequency range . Also JBL LE8 is only 89 db driver and it doesn't look like it can take any power . Difference in efficiency within the channels would ...

I lost all hope for horn loaded Lowther speakers . Got Phile Mikey (fremmer) recommended TT and new old MC cartrige (benz Mc3) so analong front sounds comparable to old modded MCintosh CD player I have. I finished (took al ong time ) Hagerman c...

with their Victory , Total Victory and Complete Victory or was it Extreme Victory line of speakers . Makes me think that they are designed strictly for US market. I heard that these are good speakers and I just wonder how many potential costume...

No need to bring audio racism into play . I'm Polish and proud of all Polish pianists , artists , sausage and vodka. I sustain my opinion of Polish audio world .Cats part was out of place -all my alley cats (many in Detroit ghetto) , smelly cat famil...

did you (or anybody else ) by any chance try Erno Borbely discrete op-amp based buffers? They are J-fet based kits from EU , not as expensive as Placette but not quite cheap either . Regards, L...

Trough the entire 4 pages of Synopsis thread there is only a few (mostly positive )remarks of how it sounds.The rest of it is just where?/how?/and how much?- idiotism. AA is a fountain of wisdom compared to Polish Hi-Fi forums.The general attitude of...

Maybe you could "turn in ceiling " and use a Avantgarde Duo configuration for your 200- 1000 Hz horn ? I read a lot of good things about B&C 8PE21 8" driver in that range (John Hasquin -not sure if I pronunced the name right ) it can be ordered a...

Bare ,tick 400V B+ wire does look a little scary .Those noval sockets are very nice -are those teflon ones ??Bud Purvine is also using "electron pool" concept but I think the application is a little different ;0)RGRDS, W...
