It is wonderful how these forums work and how it's members provide the feedback and comments from their experiences and expertise.I am 90% convinced that the DEQX will not provide the magic spatial sound that I am looking for with the Edgarhorns....

some months ago. It was posted at AA about a year ago or so. I keep the "solutions" if someone interested wants to know his scoring and how much of a "fundamentalist" or "overtonist" is.The only interesting thing about it is how being one or the othe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not know the 2482 driver but all of the 2” exit drivers have in my estimation some unpleasant behavior as lover knee when you stress them to go very low.[/quote]Hi RomyJBL 2482 was mainly designed for very high power p...

Good start Dan!The JBL phenolic 2" driver is 2482.I would lower the crossover point as far as you dare, 300Hz or so.Now the 2226 will do what they are pretty good at.Later you will likely want to filter the 2445 around 2k.A 600Hz horn with a 1" drive...

[quote user="KLegind"]Hi, I have some experience with the 2482. Sure it can reach 300 Hz but only with EQ. [/quote]HelloMy experience is that JBL-2482 can be used without EQ.Example on my system where 2482 is used on a home made "Tractrix like" horn ...

Hi Kodomo-You have made an ambitious undertaking. Congratulations to a brave decision.Can you please elaborate a little on your TAD implementation. I have used one on each side ,in 3 cuft sealed cabinets, first order from 60 to 150Hz, blending gent...

I tend to like drivers with plastic suspension. Radian makes retrofit diaphragms for JBL with plastic suspension, maybe they will help you achieve the tone you are looking for.
Extensions are easy to machine out of aluminum, even wood and they can ...

Thank you, Jorge, for comment. I'm definitely going for wood horns. For my ear it has no coloration in compare with other material. Only for experiments I'm using what is available ready.Regarding driver for 300Hz, which one will you suggest to try ?...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The biggest problem that usually people face when they listen the middbas horn is that people tend to make the middbas horns too short. In the short horn the driver shot right through the horn and the LF go not “get loaded”...

Hi,I dont use my tapped horns any longer because of the annoying peaks above the usable frequency range. Some how they managed to excite a room node at 60Hz that none of the other bass solutions I have tried messed with. They also didnt have the outp...

Yeah, they are my own experiments so I am the only one that need to care. They are based on your earlier work, so I felt like writing and tell you what I am doing with your ideas. The drivers we use may be superior or inferior. As long as mine are t...

Doesn't Avantgarde make/offer giant speakers now? I thought they used to use TAD? I would not even mention this, except I have heard good/promising sound from Avantgarde on several occasions. I do not have recent experience with large/lower frequency...

The Absolute Sound cite a street price of 250.000€ and also call JBL Paragon-like the bass horns.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/munich-high-end-2015-loudspeakers/I believe that configuration, with the bass horns in the middle, should be mor...

Dear
I know that it is very difficult to evaluate others system without a physical visit.
Still i have a very general question about the "worst crossover point".

I have only heard GOTO drivers one time, and in that system they were time-aligned:http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=7467#7467 The closest I could come to describing the SOUND, when the source was right; (Ch...

[quote user="Jorge"]I guess it would be simple enough to add a couple of inches in order to bring the throat down to 4" in order to try the Studio 8M. I have already reduced it temporarily to 3" in order to try the JBL 2490h compression driver. ...

One more thing about the JBL 375, I did play around with them enough, I aligned the diaphragms several times untill they sounded their best and were very listenable, This was some time ago now, I didnt turn my horns then, so I tried them on the orig...

Op, I clearly have no idea as I never have seen/heard about the 2440 with phenolic diaphragm. Who know perhaps they did it. The phenolic diaphragms were the invention in late 60-70s and a remedy against the nastiness of the first SS amplificatio...

MiniMe is growing up...It is a shame that you will not be able to utilize the ringy dustcap that the origional drivers have, but the JBL LE5-2 driver is quite nice and should not bring many surprises.
I found something today that you might find usef...

Bill, or Romy, what I am missing here is some kind of visual of the setup whether photos or a hand-drawn sketch. I'm intrigued and would like to know more about it, especially in terms of its use with two channel and surround sound. I am using a pa...

Yes, it's been that way for me, too, for years, now; "solutions" are no longer considered good enough if they yield only intermittant Musical satisfaction, or if getting and keeping things optimal for each session takes "too much" time and effort. Li...

I dont want to hack this thread into TH, I tried them with sub-amps 150 watts and they didnt sound good, but I was using a passive preamp, when I added an active preamp things started to get better, now with 12 watts and a a lot of gain, bass is ama...

Just a quick note.I tired a JBL 3" compression driver 2490h model with original Titanium diaphragms on a 120 hz Tacrix horn. I got a response down to 200 hz. How did it sound? It sounded good clear and transparent but it lacked a little tone imho...

All thinking about ULF are usually centered on 3 subjects:
drivers, topology and amplification. Even though these 3 subsets very much intertwined
I still would like to talk about it separately. We do presume that we have the proper
drivers for pro...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, I would advise you do not order any horns with aiming 2490.
Get the drivers first and order the horns AFTER you feel that the driver
satisfy you. The fact that the loaded driver can hit 300Hz does not mean a lot.
Y...

[quote user="Rewind"]Hi, I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. [/quote] OK, but it is not how I feel about the service of injection...
