The bass units meant for ported loading of cause, I might measure the Fs later on but I am not sure that I would need it. I don’t have any of T/S characteristics for my bass drivers. The driver behave as I needed them in prototype version and it is a...

In reference to:

I had recently a guy in my listening room and he asked me if it would be possible to get the 300Hz range in the way how it sounds in my room but without using those larger uppe...

[quote user="skushino"]ScottL,It looks like the two pics you posted are of different systems, the first being slot loaded PP, and the second (full-system) showing a "traditional" IB. You also seem to be confirming my intuitive hunch of potential sou...

Dave Glackin interviewed Dr. Bruce Edgar in his home, prior to the 1996 WCES. A follow-up on the speak...

Ok, I said a mistake, I like direct radiator (sealed speakers) too, but I often noticed more dynamic with horn speakers (I like every speakers (if properly tunned) except speakers that radiate with both sight of the drivers (bass-reflex, tapped horn,...

I’m new to this outstanding website and I found it has really educational value and antimoronizating information :)
I’m still in the world of direct radiators and I’m looking for the ultimate midbass channel solution. At this time it’s still impossi...

For what I can understand, your system works as a treatment on the cones surface. In ported (bass-reflex) speakers some of the bass energy comes from the port. Should it be treated as well? Maybe since the sound coming from the port is not phase cohe...

Hey Romy I read your requirements of a mid bass horn. I am using jabo tratrix KH-55A(320hz) with altec 288 and I want the mid bass to go under that. I would use a trattix round midbass if it was possible. But it's just not with in my abilitys to buil...

Hi Romy,I believe you're right and it's due to the amount of LF the vinyl outputs, which may be more than the Bidat or the tuner do. It doesn't happen with all the discs, just some of them, which happen to be old recordings that probably have mo...

....obtaining the same extreme results by the different means, although I do not know yet if it is possible….T, I do not think that it is possible to get from 9.5" woofer and passive radiator a good sound in context of small monitor. A passive radiat...

I think we are all agreed that if time alignment and space were not issues, a bass horn would be the way to go.Now, I'm fairly convinced that the overwhelming benefit of horns in this range is the phase response, ie flat group delay vs frequency. Mos...

Hi Romy and all,
first of all, my name is Henry, with a "Y". due to an Irish grand-grand-grand father called "O'Henry". the O' was deleted when my grand-grand father was born, due to a silly servant of registry office. :-) all my horns uses the calc...

You may remember that my bass reflex boxes were sitting on top of the carpet. I installed a few days ago, 4 brass spikes under each one, then their foots to sit on, and put them on the sandwich granite bases I made. Bases are 50kg each now!I have als...

As I already have written before, I was looking at different bass solutions for frequencies below 110hz with my set-up. As of this weekend I have set-up a new solution and will be evaluating and fine tuning it for the coming days. The new bass sectio...

A visitor of my site, a guy who never ask stupid question about audio, asked me a question how to find a correct size of the back chamber of a straight upper bass horn that he juts built. I wrote a reply but then realized that it would be worth to up...

Of course i am referring only to the horn part of a 210-type enclosure. Below the horn cutoff, perhaps around 70hz for the 210, the remainder is filled in with a wooly bass-reflex peak, which gives these boxes their characteristic fluffy, indistinct,...

I would like to think a little about the monitors. A monitor is kind of bogus name but useful. I usually call a loudspeaker that is not floor standing as a monitor. Sometime they called bookshelf but I hardly image any loudspeaker on a bookshelf…

At Romy's suggestion I've created a new thread for this. I have been thinking about what sort of bass solution to use with the S2. I was hoping to be able to get the S2 low enough (c. 300Hz) to make this a bit easier, but it seem that onl...

The bass reflex construction of a system with the size of Grand Slam/Alexandria is a mystery I have not reasonable answer too.The behavior in the lower bass area can be easily predicted, specially in my "favorite" configuration when the ven...

[quote user="Horn Savant"] I think it's about the same as free-air resonance - backwave to entire basement. Precedent: pre-war theatre horns(open rear like Shearer/ERPI)(unlike post-war reflex tuned designs like Altec A4)(I don't like reflex boxes - ...

I've been thinking about trying the Klipsch Jubilee. The idea I have is to replace my bass channel (Aura 1808 in reflex box) together with midbass channel (Funktion One F115) with a single Klipsch Jubilee channel. Of course I'm talking about stereo p...

So, two almost two years later and this contraption is still in my room and "ain´t goin nowhere" :-)Guys, I became obsessed with horn speakers and specially with Onkyo product so I would like to share with you my latest experiences.The speakers I tal...

Hi Keith,Is there any chance of sharing the measurements? I agree with the your comment regarding the sound of them. Although in saying that, I have managed to only listen to a few other different compression drivers so far. Is there somewhere I...
|

Hm, it is complicated. In context of ported enclosure (or passive radiator) it is imposable to talk seriously about the box resonance as a speaker/driver has no own sound but rather a summation of zillion resonances, aftersounds and the rest dirt tha...

This is the text that John posted a few years back at Triode Mafia. John allowed me to post it here warning that he have learned more about tapped horn since then and hat his opinion might have changed since then. -- *****************************...

Jamikl I think I am not the best person to ask. My limited exposure to ports went successful, even though I admit that I did not invest any efforts of knowledge to be successful with ports. I hated them before and my failure with my trying to use po...

After trying these reticulated foams for some time now, I ended up with using them only on the JMLC 1400 with the Radian 475 beryllium drivers. I had a smallish bump about where it worked. It flattened out and the sound changed a little. It sounded a...

Ok, so I'm not really going to talk about the show itself, but more of some interesting things I learned. Yes, I did have a room, but that's not the point. I was able to borrow some speakers from Azzolina. They are of the unusual Lo...

Paul,I'm with you waiting for a bit more enlightenment and less rhetoric on the subject. As you stated if e.g. a Bass reflex does certain things wrong there are some known 'recipes' / fixes to try, and some will work. We would want to utilize a u...

Thanks, Romy, for your generous reply.
I won't try to address everything about everything, but let me bore
you with a mini-history of what is going on with my playback so you
will understand where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to ...
