Weren't these speakers (at least in Germany) normally used built-in (infinite baffle situation)? And I don't like the word "open baffle" because it can mean anything. It reaches from quasi-IB like proposed by PHY-HP up to that more and more crazy con...

[quote user="manisandher"]Thanks for all the suggestions. As it happens, there were no exhibitors at the Flemings Hotel this year. But I did pop into the Stax stall before listening to anything else.[/quote]The Hifi Deluxe was in the Le Meridien.http...

Romy,it would be interesting to test whether it is really that impossible to get into the near field at 30 Hz as Griffin's simple formula in the line array white paper implies. I am thinking about laying the arrays on the ground, having in mind ceili...

[quote user="unicon"]if you could understand the basics about how audio waves especially bass range acts in closed space you wouldnt even bring the name Bass EQit just cures the sound pressure in a single spot(listener) and possibly can not do anythi...

And what about the brute force method (room correction for the bass arrays)?http://www.audyssey.com/hometheater/subeq.html...
|

Bass arrays are considered infinite when they cover min. 70% of the room height. It is also important that they are mirrored (ceiling perpendicular to the array). Your new room is not ideal for bass arrays.I don't know whether you have read this pape...

I use 10” but they have free air resonance of 19Hz. Not many of 18” drivers have such a low resonance.[/quote]The lowest I know is the Fertin with 23 Hz.http://www.fertin-acoustic.com/hp_46ex.php...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...my light woofers would not be the optimum solution and I might need to use 18”-24” woofers.[/quote]Hello Romy!At least for corner horns I think I can say that lightweight drivers are the better solution. HBM's corner hor...

Try diffuse injection, like the Reds lying on the floor pointing upwards, or diffusely radiating speakers like Goebel....

I heard the Fun 17, as well as a larger one of their speakers, and I liked the small one very much.As you can see in a test by Vance Dickason the P2C cones they use behave quite similar as polypropylene cones in the CSD.http://www.p...

Martion usually only had a stand at the regular show and their system playing around the corner in a home for old people, but as they have no stand this year they have probably redrawn from Munich. You would have to mail them....
|

No Blumenhofer, no Duevel, no Martion, no Odeon.Not a horn, but no Analysis either.Listen to the Goebel if you are interested in injection.I won't be there this year....

And masses of EMI remasters. No need to buy modern recordings....

I would prefer Polish recordings like this:http://www.amazon.com/Witold-Lutoslawski-One-Lacrimosa-Orchestra/dp/B00000E2HX/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1269029112&sr=8-5I don't know whether this was recorded or just re-released by Philip...

The Martion Bullfrog doesn't cost an arm and a leg and is very competitive compared to conventional speakers of it's size and price.I have only heard it with Martion power amps, but others say it is also competitive with other electronics.http://www....

Paul, I agree, I don't have read enough in the music forum to do such a never-ever-statement. Did I expect an extra-thread about recording techniques?Yesterday again I made such an experience.I listened to this CDhttp://rateyourmusic.com/release/albu...

Romy, I don't understand you.Probably few people on this planet have made more effort to get the most out of their technical equipment than you, so I have been wondering for a while why you don't ever talk about the technical aspects of recordings. A...

First, I didn't write in one block, probably it has something to do with Google Chrome.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I would also do not get where Deutsche Gramophone do not feet your bill – they have a huge catalog with incredibly good and incredibly b...

Hello Romy, hello all the rest,I want to expand my collection towards romantic standard repertoire, preferrably large orchestra. I am not intending to become an expert, but I have a moronic habit: In order to fully enjoy a performance I need the illu...

A Fostex wood horn instead of the ugly metal monstrum plus a Fostex supertweeter on top would give a nice look.And you could let a 2" Radian run against a 2" Eighteensound Aluminium driver. I would be very interested in the outcome of this competitio...

Have you checked whether the right crossovers are in there? These speakers may have gone strange ways as they seem to be so unused....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]In contrary, at higher frequencies dipole might work fine, but no in bass. The Cat[/quote]
IMO you can never get realistic imaging from dipole.Here is a very detailed description of a dipole horn for the BG Neo 3.http://ww...

Time for you to get some Polskie Nagrania recordings....

The vaults of palace room in the islamic world make them very useful as music performing rooms. But they are kind of a "fractal" version of a gothic cathedral that works over a broad frequency range....

To my ears the Duevel Sirius has some kind of false transparency I also know from The Focal titanium tweeters, so maybe there are metal artefacts, but I didn't find if painful or annoying. Nevertheless, I find this is an unnecessary gimmick, so m...

I am currently planning high-WAF speakers for my sister which have to stand in the corners on the floor. Asking for small corner horns I was told the EV Baronet could be a solution. Simulating it with roughly estimated dimensions I found that the FR ...

Romy,what do you think will be the crossover points of the new system?...

Titanium diaphragm drivers that are completely free of the titanium nastiness (you can believe me, I usually show strong allergic reactions to it) are the Eighteensound drivers with titanium nitride coating. I heard one in the Duevel Sirius....
