Steve Schell pointed to Bill Woods’ site aka RCAfan.

I do not know the guy but the site looks attractive. Some of his old large horns are interesting as so on… however, what make me to wonder is the horns that Bill Woo...

I do not know, I do not see a lot of sense on bookshelf horn construction. The core of topology resets to bookshelf configuration. A horn but it very basic nature is bandpass devise. As soon you introduce a horn then you automatically truncate th...

There is a US company “Acoustic Horn Company” somewhere in ... , that makes, as I understand, only metal conical horns. The company, owner Bill Woods presents his motto as “Horns based on the quality and lost engineering of the past”. I al...

Romy,To clear up a few things about the Kilimanjaro RCA1428 clones.The B&C DCM50 is a modern, neodymium clone/copy of the RCA MI-1428B. It was designed and built by B&C in Italy after Bill Woods of AHhorns talked the CEO into it. The DCM50 is...

Every day that I listen to my system, I thank God for Romy's perseverance with the pp2000. For the past 25 years I've fought the crappy electricity that comes to my house in the woods with everything from banks of 8 massive 2 and 3 KVA isolation tran...

I've been fighting the electricity for 30 years in the woods of Kensington, NH. but nobody believed me that it copuld be worse than in the city with all of its problems. Even guys I've had up here from New York couldn't believe how bad it is. And...

Hi Paul,The Cogent diaphragm I have seen pictures of was woven carbon fiber with a leather outer surround. I have never listened to a Cogent 1428 but they must sound very good, at least Bill Woods and Bruce Edgar say so.Besides their overall ultra cl...

I have to agree with romy on all except one point. I have always had problems with my electricity even though I live out in the woods, but just 10 miles from the Seabrook nuclear power plant. My journey in improving this problem took up at least 20% ...

Thanks, Kerry. It was interesting. I never used neither RCA1428 driver nor it’s clones. I heard them I think once at Oswald Mils. It was for sure a pleasant midrange but it was nothing else wothe attention in there, so it is difficult to say anythi...

Thank you Romy and congratulations on your website, it just keeps getting better and better all the time.
The RCA1428 is a great sounding driver on RCA multi-cell horns. Not that I like multi-cell sound. I have never heard an original 1428 on a tra...

Romy, sorry if my outspoken attitude toward Pure Power bothers you, or your own solution to the problem has blunted or greatly narrowed the focus of your current interest. I think you mostly get where I'm coming from and you just don't like it, and y...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

My amp is a stereo 2a3 / 45 .
Lately I find my self listening in mono because of the area of my apartment and because I can focus better on the reproduction .
So this is not a stereo / mono discussion , just better for my needs .
Im planning...

[quote user="Paul S"] I think you mostly get where I'm coming from and you just don't like it, and your criticism is smart, and your points are well taken; but there are a few things going on here that just bug me that you either seem oddly comfo...

Brooks Audio is a reseller somewhere in Utah, I think he is Ale Acoustic US rep. Utah is reportedly a some kind region in US between Massachusetts’ Tanglewood and California. It looks like Kevin Brooks is moving and he is selling his Acoustic Sys...

It looks like the Cogent boys came up with a new design. It is good that they are keep looking, even thogh they unfortunately are restricted with their desire to stretch the use of their drivers over too wide bandwidth….
The new Cogent setup lo...

The AudioFederation guy posted pictures from RMAF show with Cogent room. (The images are courtesy to http://www.audiofederation.com)
