[quote user="Merlin"]Romy,
if you see my post you will notice that I mentioned I did not know of any drive units that could successfully be employed. Can you list some?
Here is a typical high quality 15" cone - indeed one of the finest on the mar...

Romy,
I'm trying to understand your logic in choosing a multi-cell design (instead of a single-cell oval or rectangular 180Hz exponential horn of the same vertical height)... Was this in the interest of achievi...

Wow, where did you see a 1kW
amplifier that is able to produce bass that does not make you vomit? Also, why
would you need power like this. If you go with 15” high sensitivity driver,
then you would need 20-30W max. Do not forget that your objecti...

I think we have to subdivide bass into upper bass from 100hz to whatever your midrange does and bass under 100hz and then maybe infrabass.
Front loaded upper bass horns are fantastic and I would say if you never heard one, you really nev...

[quote user="noviygera"]My mid/upper horns play down to 190Hz. That is -- 188Hz is the Fs of the mid. It's a horn loaded a 10" Precision Device driver. So I need a section (or two sections) to cover the bottom (below 190hz). [/quote]

of the drivers I have would be following: Vitavox AK51 and 15/40, Altec 416B

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...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] The HF sound is very quick and weighty , which can be quite nice on classical guitar for examlpe, but the tone is not clear enough, meaning for example cymbal attacks don't have enough metallic ring to them, nor enough blo...

CV,Nicely put.... and thanks for the Rp information on the 6C33. Do you have any thoughts, or a curve trace source, about the Rl ratio?

Ah, such a beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful discovery!
After all, after the years of dealing and fighting with it I come up with the observation that the Vitavox S2 driver could and actually should be used “as is”. The harshness that I was re...
