Here is the idea that I had for the “ultimate bass” for my room. Below is the picture of Macondo one channel as it is now from my listening position. So, if I find a way to deal with the wall edge at my ceiling then I might replace the current 72” w...

In my experimenting here, not really listening mind you, it looks like you can get a very nice frequency response to about 150Hz with those Scanspeak woofers. This frequency sits about where your Upperbass is rolling off so there is also the (distan...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
BTW, it will be funny if I learn that I like the Macondo’s bass better with the “help” of the MiniMe’s ports. The 95Hz is VERY special region for Macondo as the Macondo’s upperbass horn and the Macondo’s bass sections bo...

We enter a complicated region as the lower driver we go the drivers could be used for different purposes and it is very hard to generalize. A 10-incher might be MF driver and LF driver. In my past I experimented with few MF 10-inchers, including some...

Oh, yes, the 70-20XR is very interesting. I did not have this driver but Alex allowed me to experimented with some elements of it’s design in context on my “Wa...

[quote user="anthony"]Personally, I am
probably going to do a line array like Romy's using the same drivers but twice
as many...so eight each side. I have the drivers. This
configuration should give somewhere around 109dB @ 20Hz from 15w in room...

Interesting, Very interesting.
I might make some observations now, claming this recent modification as a success. The minor gain of sensitively certainly did not heart but the major advantage was defiantly the “activation of ceiling”. It is hard to ...

Ok, Scot and I spent another day to mingle with my new
listening room. We hang some acoustic treatment and brutally covers large windows
with blankets. The room become more pleasurable. I have placed an order for extra
pair of drivers into my bass...

Well, it might sound as a heresy to you, but I personally
consider the impedance curve is a bit irrelevant in this application. In this application
you need to care only about only 2 things: if you have enough power in you LF
DSET to drive your li...

If you are planning to build a dedicated LF SET then the line level crossing vs. passive speaker level crossovers is not the same devil. With a...

And as one of the other perpetrators...The nature of this kind of thing is compromise. The owner of the bass horn system wanted to run them together, for the enlarged horn mouth, and so we did - there was never going to be enough time to play about ...

After thinking about this for a while, I have had a thought that should be relatively easy for anyone motivated to explore and I would be interested to see what others on this forum observe from such experiments.Fundamentally I think the injection ch...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...

Really, it is kind of strange that there is no good Chinese (at least know to me) recording companies. There is a huge number of good or sometimes even near-great Chinese musicians around the world and there is a nice positive momentum on academic mu...

I looked what is around and I did not like whatever I see. The industry music server machines are all crap and mostly made to copy CDs and to play them from semi-intelligent applications. My requirements are very specific and not of the existing mac...

I believe that the Arum Cantus is typical of most ribbons in mirroring one of the principal failings of MC cartridges, a rising top end (over 20k), although I have not actually heard this - at all - with my own small Arum Cantus, and I just go n...

[quote user="cv"] Don't be pissed about me keeping you in the dark regarding the ribbons; your comments elsewhere on the Nolas and ribbons in general had me loathe to make any recommendations. I think we may have very different tastes in terms of tre...

2011 will be a busy audio year for me. I will have a nice large space 28 feet x 20 feet x 11 feet which I am free to modify for audio. The walls are 150 years old irregular stone the floor is cement and the ceiling is composed of structural...

[quote user="oxric"] I have always felt that if I went for a vertical array of 10" drivers, I would keep the drivers closer spaced than you do in your 'Dunlavy' made enclosure. Based on the 110" height of the tower, I see that you would be doing this...

In my first design, I kept them all in a vertical line. It had one channel less back then. When I added the 1" throat JMLC 1000, I decided, as the tweeter operates over 9.6k, the slight misalignment may not matter. Still, I kept vary and kept the fra...
