I look at it this way, it is all about your original source of prerecorded crap. Most of the problems with speakers are not the speakers it is the source of music the record album and the cd. Everyone is out of touch with the source, if you want good...

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 would like to build great horns for the bass as deep as possible and I use 4 woofer altec 416th.
the listening room is 25 square meter, dont have aesthetic problems.suggestions? ...

I had quite a number emails from different people who picked 515G or AK15X drivers and would like to build a midbass horn from 60-80Hz to ~500Hz. I played a lot with different 515 (B, E, D, A) and with different AK15X but I never went for the right h...

FWIW, I've done the cone doping myself, and my first reaction to doping paper cones is suspicion. Why does it "need" this, and how/why will it really "help"? But I injected this example only to set it apart from the [Altec] horn doping, r...

... may be a good thing, perhaps? I'm currently thinking about just how good I want my system to be. Even my present speakers - Altec A7 - tell me quite a bit about the atrocities mny recording and mastering engineers like to inflict on the performan...

It is entirely possible to find and develop something of relative value working with a challenged toplolgy, even if the limitations of the topology dictate that "ultimate" results will fail to reach the Aural Summit.If you hear something that wo...

my vitavox S2's finally arrived today.i was not expecting great results with all the warnings i read on this site,especially with the klangy stock 4 cell 330hz vitavox horn.i know refinement when i hear it.i have heard avantgarde's duo, trio,i even h...

Cat! i just joined that board like two days ago looking for altec info and found their bass allergic to cat dander as well... unfortunately, this sort of group blowjob mentality really exists in all forms of hobby/interest/lifestyle....my g...

Actually I just went to the site and I can conform that the cretin removed form my posts some of my explanations of the Model 19’s shortcomings but explicitly kept my replies (edited!!!) to the idiots who suggested that I am not familiar with Altec b...

I never was fan of the Oris 150. They meant be used with Lowther type of drivers, that never worked properly. The Oris 150’s upper bass is not really the bass that might be obtained form the Oris’ mouth. Should this Oris has twice smaller throat and ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Try to drop the Altec in 400Hz horn down to 1000 Hz -700Hz and arm your Oris with a MD driver with a good lover midrange driver (B&C of whatever you use) You will be able to go away with 4 channels… You have a lot of n...

Trying to explore the upper bass channel reaching up to a Victor Sierra 360 Hz horn with an Altec 804 with a 4 uF oilcap, I first used my OB Supravox 215, then a B&C 8" woofer in a large BR originally used with EV 15" (the latter not good) ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The biggest problem that usually people face when they listen the middbas horn is that people tend to make the middbas horns too short. In the short horn the driver shot right through the horn and the LF go not “get loaded”...

[quote user="caT"]Adding 1uf more and the horn being to sound like Altec horns…[/quote]Interesting. I'm wondering here if this is the key to eliminating the honkiness I hear in most horn installations. From your experiments, it seems that...

Is speakers like altec 19 have time aligned drivers? I think I have never seen in internet time aligned 3-4 way horn speakers with oken/jensn as a bass.Slowly I am closer to finish my first speakers with horns, the frame is adjustable (35-45cm drive...

[quote user="Dominik"]And I take care to move driver back and forth:[/quote]This is a very good solution if you know that your channel will be sitting right here. I would like also to see two holes on the side of those metal harnesses that would scre...

Hey Romy I read your requirements of a mid bass horn. I am using jabo tratrix KH-55A(320hz) with altec 288 and I want the mid bass to go under that. I would use a trattix round midbass if it was possible. But it's just not with in my abilitys to buil...

A few local audio guys temporarily donated to me some gear that completely out of blue made me to have my Opera Room operational. I have a big screen, some kind of a good projector, in few days I will have a good player. The sound is the Altec 19 and...

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 ...

[quote user="be"] Instead of defining the ULF range from the reproduced instruments, it is much smarter to do it based on the first resonance frequency of the listening room, because the frequency response of a closed room has a 12dB/oct rise in ...

I would like to pass some observations on my about sound quality in my video room. The sound in my video room is what I would call very very good, I am not kidding – really good. It is delivered by Altec 21S speaker driven by Yamaha B2 amp and ...

[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...

This week is the High End Show in Munich / Germany. It is a typical Show, maybe something more interesting, there is a Demo announced with a Horn Speaker System I never heard before, Silbatone with a Pair of WE 15a, Bass with Electro Voice 30W + 2x A...

[quote user="decoud"]Why not enclose it in a horn shape? After all, it makes sense for the facing surface to be circular rather than square, and a cone will have the best structural properties, as well as having the closest kinship with the rest of t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not know the 2482 driver but all of the 2” exit drivers have in my estimation some unpleasant behavior as lover knee when you stress them to go very low.[/quote]Hi RomyJBL 2482 was mainly designed for very high power p...

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...

Just to share with you with my ideas about the Scepter 500 clones. I´m not sure if I will use the w3801 bass drivers. I felt in love with Altec 416 and quite frankly I very much doubt that Onkyo would sound better or equally good. It surely doesn´t s...

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...
