It is interesting… complaining about the fact that the “promising to be claver” Cessaro Horn using the TAD drivers (still it is not completely known as they said that that MD driver cost €4000) I asked myself: what else they might use? Really, ...

If you know how in some optical systems imagery get destroyed when an aperture getting closed to F64 or even smaller, then you understand what happens in compression driver when frequency get higher and spaces smaller. Yes, the proximity of wavelengt...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

I would discard the first part of your post. It is it truly irrelevant what Germans, French, Japanese or Brits were buying and what particular brand and in what time they consider as “fashionable”. It is know that Ebay or Akibahara popularity has...

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...

Well, whatever you do with your loudspeakers of with you whole playback system is kind of irrelevant if your drivers are not right. In my view the drivers are the very much heart of playback but in case of High-Efficiency and particularly horn-loaded...

Well, Tannoy tuned all their 10" monitors to play reasonably well down to about 50 Hz. Their monitors I heard were all variations of ported, with some of their "newer" monitors (70's?) using the ports to create more apparent bass, and those monitors ...

I think you missed, or not express not strongly enough, the main point of my message. And the main point of my message was that a low frequency section not necessarily need to be powered by just a plan signal that cannot be reproduced by main spe...

Unicon, I would not argue that our ears just don’t care as much about amplitude as they do about phase; I have been pitching it myself. However, I think you do properly interpret the need of the “exact parallel sound from drivers”. The parallelness o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Do not worry, you won’t be happy with your new speakers
as well. It is a little dirty secret that no one told you yet: speakers do not
give happiness. [/quote]In my case only speakers can give me happiness, because with e...

[quote user="Jorge"]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, eve...

Don't know the Vitavox, but some of the old 15" drivers sound good up to 4-500 Hz. For my own current project I will be crossing a modern 10" driver at about 200 Hz, for reasons of efficiency, and not planning to use the walls for baffle extensions. ...

Try thinking about it like this: Moving your ears 1/2" closer to all drivers in the system is not the same as moving a single driver 1/2" closer to your ears.jd*...

I think clearing this up this may be of benefit to other users who are building multi-way horns.
Let's say I've got two horns mounted on a frame. There's a high horn
above and a mid horn below and they are physically time aligned, meaning

Romy:I think you may find the link and the shoot-out, of limited value as they are, of interest. The S2 did not fare well at all, not surprising really, given its idiosyncrasies and how difficult it is to get anything remotely acceptable out of it. h...

I read at twogoodears’ blog that he is considering changing his Class A SS amp gainclone Multiamping:

Gday was thinking about buying these for a mid bass horn or may be a bass horn one day. There in terrible condition other then I think they have two real vitavox cones in them even though one has been replaced. Note the crack also. But t...

Hello everyone,I have excellent news from Fane. After checking their old stock, they have now found and have confirmed that they have sufficient old stock of the 8 ohms or 16 ohms voice coils to offer everyone ordering a choice of 8 or 16 ohms.Qu...

I also am selling my JBL 2490 mid-range drivers and perhaps a collection of my original Aura 1808 drivers. The 2490 drivers are new and Auras are some old and some new. I just do not see myself to develop any inspiration to use them......

Romy,I half expected some kind of whipping from you which I fully welcome. I am guessing some of it is to see if I buckle and get all weepy under a critical look at my statements but hopefully you are just trying to possibly get me to clarify my obje...

[quote user="Paul S"]All I want is wide-range drivers as fast as a Lowther DX4 [/quote]Paul,
I have listened DX4 driver. In my view
this fastness that you report is completely artificial and absolutely non-musical
as it does not have any relation...

By the time I got seriously involved in hi-fi, in the early 60s, speakers and their drivers were already undergoing significant changes from which they would never "recover". Basically, for reasons that are no longer clear to me now, drivers and...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Here is the idea that I had for the “ultimate bass” for my room. Below is the picture of Macondo one channel as it is now from my listening position. So, if I find a way to deal with the wall edge at my ceiling then I migh...

Thanks for the link, el`Ol. The original Görlichs, when they still use aluminum layers were very interesting, thought they were soft suspended drivers that is not my cap of tea. BTW, for whatever it worth the Magico new version does not use ADT...

I just found this thread and can comment on the Enabled DX4s. Limono (Wojtek) very gratiously loaned his Enabled 8 ohm Lowther DX4 drivers to me this past summer (summer of 2008). It took my a while to make the crossover for these (I have...

It may be good, though i've worried about SS since Tymphany took over. I have seen many good companies with good products completely screwed by new management. Their re-packageing of Peerless into V-Line (or whatever the hell that was) sp...
