Below is a sketch of the main frame, that Russ made for me based on our original discussions many months ago, consisting of the support for the UB115 horns and missing some finishing details such as bevelled edges, top end feature, holes for hori...

I think it is time, today being both my birthday and the day when I received the first updates from Russ regarding the frames for my 'Rakeshorns' system, for an update. The idea behind the frame was to have a construction that both provided a fai...

[quote user="haralanov"]When all of these 5-6-7 different types of distortion mechanisms are eliminated (I mean lowered), one has the opportunity to hear the unmasked/undistorted tone of his bass. I deliberately used the word “opportunity” because no...

[quote user="Jorge"]I will be dubiuos about the slanted enclosure if not done properly, all drivers must be time aligned and since they are playing the same frequency, deficiencies in time alignment become more obvious. I made a slanted enclosure b...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This is all because you are a primitive person with very simplistic and amateurish understanding of many things. You need to learn from much more sophisticated people, of cause I mean myself. Take a look: I do not run like...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Here is pretty much the idea that I had – a very tall line array with min footprint and with more of less corrected timing error by angling the front baffle. At the picture below the curvature of positioning of Macondo chan...

[quote user="haralanov"] Rakesh, during the last year, there were some very important moments in my own realizations about the methods of low frequency reproduction. I totally abandoned my Scanspeak bass modules and now they are resting in my gar...

Hm, the Injection channel via Lecleach? The MF via Lecleach? I wonder why people then are complaining about the vertical limitations. Anyhow, closer to the point.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If I were you then I would not pursue for any amplifier and particularly DSET. If you are building the building a multi-way horn system but build it, drive it from whatever amplifier your have now, get a good sound and good...

Hi KOTriode,Sorry to take your thread slightly off track but I am in the process of building a multi-way horn system, and for future reference I am looking for someone who might be willing and capable of building an amplifier inspired from Romy's Mel...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
...this interesting point has no practical answer. First of all in the case of Rakesh horn what N-Set proposed is not necessary. Those 115Hz Hasqiun-style horns that Rakesh emulates are well dumped with own mass and own ...

N-Set,When I looked very briefly into the subject, as I was looking for some damping material to use in my tube preamp/phonostage, I contacted Gelmec who were very helpful and professional as a company. They will send you a small selection of sam...

Romy,As it happens, I approached N-Set as I thought I might suggest some transformer winders who might be more reliable than Peter of Tribute Audio...As an aside I wanted to find out if the fish market in Barcelona is as good as it used to be the las...

N-Set,I have a similar experience as yours when it comes to Peter of Tribute Audio. One moment he is all enthusiastic and the next moment he stops all communication. I think this might be the unfortunate price of fame and success. By the way, is ther...

Hi Jorge,If $18,600 is the price of your 4-way horn system, even without knowing more about the sound and the choice of drivers, I think it is an amazing bargain by anybody's standards in the current high-end audio landscape. I hope you are inundated...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] There is one more subject that most of the people are missing. I personally located horns not in-the-walls as most of people do but my horns are extended well into my room. I feel that this sounds way deferent but this is ...
