[quote user="be"]Hi Herman.Did you hear the Scanspeak woofers like the 8565 or 8555 as a comparison? If you have, what do you think?Rgds.Erik[/quote]I did not hear those woofers....

I have a sauna almost next to my music room and usually I have music playing while taking a sauna, in someone's company. By myself though, I more enjoy a silent sauna, and I listen to music in my music room during sauna breaks. Sauna, is a very impor...

I understand that "nothing changed in the horn dimensions if you go from between 10" and 12" driver". You are referring to the horn mouth I assume. Do you have a idea what compression ratio is good to have for upper base horn? It seems that 2:1 is ta...

But efficient (in terms of space usage) and radical.put woofers in the sides of flare of your attic horns, sort of like Danley Synergy horn, not near the throat but towards the mouth area, using the attic as the infinite baffle.But will the pressuriz...

I would like to add this driver to a good driver list:HiVi D10G 10" Kevlar/Paper Woofer, it is sold at parts-express.com and it was one of a few drivers that I ordered for a personal shoot-out. Ignoring the fact that it is yellow and that it makes hu...

Romy,I have made honest attempts to contact the recommended horn designer candidates, but with no result. I do not know why but it looks like they are not seeing me, or responding. Like walking down the street and observing pedestrians looking though...

Petar,I thought for along time how to reply to your post. All my thoughts basically narrow down to this. You're a soulful guy. There is nothing smart I can say to add or subtract to you findings but I think that the result you will finally get from y...

Hello Romy, thanks for your guide.I've been thinking and I feel that some basic upper bass channel ideas are forming; they a result of, as you say ,"organic" derivation from the rest of my acoustic system. I am pretty excited about this idea i have. ...

I have noticed that after playing music through speakers, the sound warms up and becomes more dense and relaxed. It would be an experiment to let the system stay "on" for an equivalent amount of time without playing music through speakers to hear the...

After living for a few years with Edgar 80Hz straight horns, I've had many urges to find a better sounding solution. I have a reason. Every time I turn them off and continue listening without them I notice that something good happens to the sound. It...

I notice the same warming up effect on my system, takes a few hours. And I thought... could it be the speakers warming up? ...

Would not a 9ft-11ft long bass horn path (tapped horn or any horns) cause a sonic problem if not physically time aligned with the upper bass or mid bass channel? The only way to fix that would be to place the bass horn 9-11ft closer TO YOU than other...

It may seem like I am joking here but I am not. Here's what I would do, if I were you (I assume you don't share the house with anyone else except the cat)I would put a fire pit (maybe a copper one) on a tiled section of the floor, above the pit insta...

I think this may be beneficial to use inside or outside the back compression chambers panels if they exhibit a panel resonance. My midrange rear chambers slightly vibrate at 500Hz, I think I will try these....

Let's say we all have a midbass horn that plays down to 80Hz. I know some of us are special, so their midbass horn plays down to 40Hz. But still.What to do for the lower frequencies? Sealed or Infinite baffle (that's two good options). Now we need a ...

Since room acoustics are important, I'd like to share my thoughts on this device I recently acquired. This is not a review but some thoughts on how this thing changes the sound of the room, because that's exactly what it does, and in my opinion, only...
|
|
I do not know why but as I listen to the 80hz Edgar horns more and more driven by the Dynaco tube amp I begin to really like the sound. Even in their untouched form there is some righteousness to the sound. I almost do not hear any serious deficienci...

Romy,Thank you again for a helpful reply. Your comments are very appreciated inspite of not suggesting what to do. I will figure that out myself. And here is what I've learned so far:>> Herman, if you use Precision Devices hen you are at mid-hi...

Romy,thank you for sharing thoughts on the 80Hz horn, giving honest opinion. So if the 80Hz horns are flawed design, I do not want to waste time to improve them. By the way, they are loaded with EVM15B drivers. I am now a bit perplexed on which rout...

I though this would be answered elsewhere (AA) but Bruce Edgar did not reply. This question is important for me, maybe someone can help.When running an impedance sweep on the Edgar 80Hz horn some serious bumps showed up. (I ran the sweep because it s...

I feel that the best candidates are metal springs. 1. They won't compress or deteriorate quickly.2. They work good in the used freq. range.3. Easy to replace. Easy to tune by adding or removing springs.4. Easy to float the entire horn by sandwiching ...
