Adrian,
You pretty much said it but do not think that what you said it minor – it is in fact huge, with exception of some rough lathe-work: it is not exactly true but if it was true then it would be irrelevant to Sound.
I really do not know wha...

Regarding vertical convergence :
I have often wondered about the effects of arranging horns vertically, such that their output converges relative to each other, toward a single point at a given height above the floor. I have seen Wilson Audio do...

Here another horny “client” – German company “Odeon”
http://www.odeon-audio.com/Look at those miserable Germans: the Avantgarde, Cessaro and Odeon! Wow, and it is from a country the size of New Jersey… :-) Of course I am kidding… Dose anyone k...

Actually as far as I can see from the picture and trying to estimate the location of the drivers in the horns: The 3 front horns are probably time aligned, meaning the drivers are lying on an circle with the center at the hight of the listener and th...

They mention an intricate back chamber for the high frequency unit, maybe thats the primary function of the tube, apart from positioning the unit relative to the rest....

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Regarding the Mid-Bass : If these guys are using the main block as a Mid-Bass horn (as Romy's illustration suggests), then the story is getting interesting, and the plot is definitely thickening... It would however seem i...

I found this youtube link, where the 24 May performance can still be streamed:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHYD7ZiiD38&feature=youtu.bergdsRakeshP.S. I hasten to add that good as Yo-Yo Ma can be in playing this, he does not come ...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]Yo-yo Ma will be playing Bach solo cello suites for 2.5 hours starting in a few minutes (noon Pacific Daylight Time in North America.) He has a YouTube channel and it is also carried on the website kusc.org and maybe elsewhere...

Hi Thorsten,
I understand what you are saying and with regard to the particular preamp in question and you may well be right as there is no mention by the manufacturer what brand of autoformers are in use (or if they roll their own). I am curi...

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...

[quote user="Markus"] Should the surface be shiny or is some roughness possibly beneficial?
B&W make use of golfball-alike dimples in their BR ports. They take advantage of little air vortices which mean that the air that is moving in and out of...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]no mention by the manufacturer what brand of autoformers are in use (or if they roll their own). [/quote]
There is one thing I can say. Nickel Lams are bright, shiny and light coloured. Steel lams are dark and dull. I...

I know… now people (and particularly Western people) do not know operettas. In the best-case scenarios they know opera and the Broadway musicals. Literally meaning a 'little opera', the term has become associated with a form of light opera, with spok...
