Datubie,
I do not think you should have a lot of expectations from Japanese GOTO office. I do not know how about the drivers but I would doubt their practical experience in system engineering. Their exponential trumpet horns are very poor. Their “r...

My definition of “Japanese sound” is different than yours and I do not feel that Japanese sound is characterized by “tilted up high frequencies character”.

A few comments. I think the region that impressed you was somewhere 50Hz-500Hz, the melody range with all those fundamentals. It might appear that it was in the lower end but I think it still was the fundamentals with first overtones. Since you c...

RomyThis topic is relevant to me currently as I am attempting to get a 750Hz low-pass into a valve (tube) amp that is driving a bass section ( Supravox 285GMF in an Onken cab ).I have run through a few options in my head but can see various problems....

The forum rules were probably a booby trap or I even made up the part that said that it was necessary to give subjective sound impressions, which is bullshit in the first place anyways. My measurements of the SG-16 and Onken OS-5000T are useless any...

The whole room (L-shaped) is larger as you all noticed, but as Roman saw in my Blog , the listening space is smaller - i.e. about 6,5 x 4,5 meters with low 2,70 ceiling - and is a perennial work in progress... yes, the Stereo Lab 1000 hz is a true wa...

Hi Keith,Interesting experience you have as I have found running my 505TT with the 160hz le'clech horns between 320hz-1200hz (with first order slope) works best for my setup and using my 15" goto sg-38wn woofer to play under 320hz (which sounds very ...

and not very encouraging. The set up was as follows: a Lowther ex4 playing from ~12k down in a big ~100Hz tratrix. A Murata up on top, and a 15" Beyma on the bottom. The Beyma is in an Onken so the results may not be fully indicative of performance i...

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...

Just some scattered points:1) I gather the Acapella plasma tweeters have a catalyst so you don't get the nasty oxides/ozone etc. Got some old ionofanes on the way so will know soon how well they freshen up the room... They are self-amplified so ...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

...if you want to use it "pure" as it were, without any in-between equalising. Or you could tailor the amp accordingly. I would see a lowther working well mid-high rather than mid-bass.My experience is limited, however, to EX-4 used with wizzer in a ...

Hello guys! I got an old Coral X-VIII from Japan. Its an Onken enclosure with a 400 Hz horn. And I want to give it a second life. The enclosure looks already like new. And the question is about the crossover. What would be the theoretical best points...

The recent events in my playback made me to think about he new prospective duty of tweeters. Since the Super Melquiades was enlisted for duty the Vitavox S2 got it’s own dedicated amplifier channel and stopped to “see” the coil of upper bass driver. ...
