[quote user="serenechaos"]I built a pair of tapped horns, as per John Hasquin, designed to integrate w/ mid-bass horns (cross over ~ 70-80 hz). Loaded in the corners, the low bass is well supported, and, they "dissapear" sonicaly. By that, I mean, ...

Hi Romy,
Thanks for the link (how silly of me not to have thought of that): I've found a few more VCs in that list that I wish to look into.
I hadn't been to a violin concerto since childhood (before all those years of pop) and I guess those more...

Hi,
Having recently developed a deep interest in Violin Concertos (which might have been triggered by having recently attending a performance of Sibelius VC by Kavacos//Philadelphia/Eschenbach).

Hi,
Does anyone know if the PCM 44.1Khz layer in the Living Stereo SACD discs was down-converted from higher rates?

Hi Romy,
It felt like loosing my breath when the music stopped. I don't have any CDRs around but listening with a pair of headphones left me wanting for the whole thing. Amazingly powerful colours and textures... and what a beautiful mood.

Romy, don't be silly. You are trying to tell me you cannot hear vertical position? You cannot tell if the cat meows, if it is on the ground or the ceiling. Of course you can; do not be ridiculous.

You got it all backwards but thanks for your visual approach to the subject.

Joe,
Since this topic is about a particular single driver speaker, but still a monodrive, let me ask you a question.
One of the fundamental shortcomings of the not-so-wide-range single-driver class is, as you know, a not so wide frequency range...
