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...

Marc Henry-In the 6moons write-up, you mentioned the Altec 515 re-issue not being satisfactory for your purposes on the Grande Castine horn. I presume the specific 515 variant you used was the 'g' type (designed for horn loading) rather than 515'b' ...

Hi Roman!So, an SG-37FRP finally dropped on yr. laps;-) - glad it happened: not because you're now part of an Olympus-like lobby, but because you'll be able to judge with yr. own ears, much, MUCH better than theorically speculating on this or that......

Hello Macman,Nice horns, I like that you finished everything properly! I am getting tired of seeing piles of horns.I think the ringing you are getting from your midbass horn is that the throat reactance is not balanced. How did you calculate the ba...

In the linked there above “Barn Conversion - James' Project” I have expressed my attitude toward low frequency bass. I certainly not “against” bass horn it but have “concerns”. The “open bottom” concept that I invented for myself is always make me to...

[quote user="jweiss"] It was good to finally meet you at CES at the Cogent Room. I guess that you really found Steve and Rich's drivers pretty interesting (you initially wanted to buy a pair of the midrange drivers, remember?) [/quote]
Hi, Jonathan....

I am not so impressed bout BD Design speakers. I truly hated the BMS drivers that they use and I truly hate the network of the blabbering cretins that BD Design built around itself. Any single critical mentioning of BD Design lead to a sudden sho...

Hi Romy and thanks a lot for the always interesting topics and discussions going on... I'm quite new to DPoLS and consider the approach of "obtaining sound in a room" more than "speakers positioning" - too often to WAF fullfillment and aesthetics, th...

A few days ago I showed up at the some kind of forum where the audio-teenagers drooled about the Altec products and toped each other on thier shoulders with Altec tattoos. You may familiarize yourself with the context of the thread and with...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] It will drive either my Tannoy Gold's full-range, or my 3-way system (Altec 515/Vitavox S2/EV T-350 or JBL 2450). I could also use it just to drive the Altec 515 and use my current 300B to drive the MF/HF of my...

Here is an interesting, atypical nowadays, attempt to get 45Hz. With massive (not plywood construction), use one diver instead of two drivers, use better drivers and with proper tuning of the back chamber (it is wrong there) it might be a ...

Hi Roman, hi all... intriguing post and interesting questions, as I've been for about 20 years a triode and, before, a tube user and a glowing-in-the-dark maniac.My experience...I purchased - years ago - an Hiraga 20W which I used as a bass enclosure...

Audiofilofine, if you do not mind then can you name you posts more identifiably and not with the same name? On the subject: I do not think that drawing shall be important to you. If you build as you say 20Hz horn then the design of the horn will be ...

You go a head and stroke your minion Romy. But the few that have some brains will see threw your bullshit. You rap your horn skin in fiberglass with some 1/2 strips and if you get it to resonate at any frequency between 40 and 180 cycles, I will pay ...

I do not think that you really can trust an answer from someone willing to tell you what to do. Sure, the Klughorn is a great thing, but I have never heard it suitable integrated - which says NOTHING about the horn and driver but a lot about those us...

The short horns like with the Altec are horns, but being too short and generally with a truncated mouth, they do not eq very much in the “midbass”, rather an octave or two higher. In that case, you might as well use direct radiators. The reason for a...

[quote user="Bud"]You need to find an individual who can design series crossovers. Both JBL and Altec used these, because they sounded best. You will need to look for an individual near where you live because they will have to test the drivers as...
