[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do use some vintage elements in my playback but I use them purposefully. I recognize their strengths and weaknesses and I capitalize on the strengths only. I think this is the only sane approach I see; when some vint...

[quote user="ayebee"]An observation that might only be of superficial interest to the thread: I don't think the speakers use Klangfilm woofers. The pictures are a bit grainy, but the dustcaps look far too big for the original Bionor woofers. I would ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Having said that I've never heard a properly working WE555 or 594 either and given the problems of getting the S2 to work well I can't imagine there are many installations using those drivers with the right sort of horns t...

The Japanese Christopher Witmer posted at the Sewers some finny pictures of another Klangfilm “invention”. It is hardly could be imagined more bogus design for a two way horn systems – no wonder that people hate horns…

As a piece of 73 year old cinema sound technology, I think they look great. As something to reproduce music on, maybe not. They belong in a museum really.
Which would you rather try to get good sound from Romy? These or Magico Mini's?...

This is not a klangfilm MF Driver, it is a RCA MF Alnico driver with phenolic diaghragm and bakelite rear cover. I have seen a few of these and they sound pretty good for a driver that is good from 300hz to 8000Hz. Sounds alot like a altec 290 driver...

If you look at the picture second from the the top, you will see 2 woofers mounted in front on the baffle, notice a 2 piece horn from the baffle. Klangfilm never had such a horn, they would start at the baffle and curve out. The horn in your picture'...

Looking at the pictures again, I believe the builder's had the woofer's mounted on both stages of this horn at one time for testing, and thought it was better with 2 piece horns. This has got me so i want to do some tests to see what the advanages ar...

If you look at the original Bionor drawings (you can find them at klangfilm.free.fr) you see that the "bass" horn is actually made out of two sections, the outer is curved, the inner is conical and expand both horizontally and laterally (more in the ...

To me the big green drivers in the midbass horn look like old Siemens Klangfilm or Telefunken (or other German manufacturer) 10 inch units. Maybe 12 inch... I had a pair of 8 inch Klangfilm once and they do have interesting tone across a couple of oc...

I can guarantee that a pair of ATC 15" woofers with the fragile foam surround and some unobtanium Siemens Klangfilm 8" units are even more alluring.Kris...

Not to dismiss the matter of the (non) existence of the FC L405, since I have not seen one, and I do not know (or care) about this...Regarding the "applications" for the cinema/PA-type drivers, broadly speaking, these drivers were/are "purpose built"...

I closed up the amps and moved it to the default operation position, right along with it all Dominus cables and so on. I played just mono music and was very interesting where I will find myself with this amp Sound. The right channel still was s...

Oops, I almost forgot the size of 14”. This is kind of off the wall size but still there was two exceptional drivers in this size that I met.
The first is JBL 1400ND. The 1400ND was initially used in JBL K2 system. It had underhung voice coil, neody...

A few years ago playing with my favorite Vitavox S2 driver I was asking myself how it might sound if instead of the Alnico magnet the electromagnets would be used. As many other driver of the period the Vitavox did not utilized the only one magnet ty...
