I have no experience with bass horns, but I suppose that any sound source into a given size room can excite its modes, hence a big bass horn or a line array of boxed woofers can be equally annoying in that regard. So if the idea of using horns is to ...

I would like to dedicate this thread to sharing views about a theoretically ideal, ultimate horn system. What would it be? Am NOT talking about the typical wishful thinking when people publicly drooling what they would d...

I was playing today with Stage Acompany SA 8535 Ribbon driver. It is truly 103dB sensitive little monster with crazily large 3 poll Neodymium magnet. I did listen the driver and there are some things that I like in it and there are some that I do not...

That's one big tweeter, Romy, and, typically, it was made that big only because they intended for it to go low. I keep wondering about the effects of the extra mass, if nothing else, but also about dispersion and window blind effects ...

The RAAL’s Alex is trying to undertake a task of horn-loading of his ribbons. I am not a big enthusiast of the idea. I am not quite sure how Alex will combine in one driver the requirements of super-tweeter and a horn-loaded MF driver, not to mention...

Sure I was not able to do not listen it as the pain dried. It was incredible ad-hog sting of the drivers. All woofers are series. I know, I know but they are 4R each and I wanted to drive it with 2A3 just for the first test. The post is tuned - I hav...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] That is very good approach in my view. The
problem is in this approach that you have to have high sensitively speakers
that you would be able to use with that test full-range Milq. The behavior of
the Full range Milq wi...

Two of my local audio folks asked me to put online my thoughts
process about my listening room. Here are some basics. Yesterday, messuring my
room I got the following response in lower octaves. That is a typical response in
rondom rooms, or wh...

For me personally, midbass is the most important frequency range when it comes to sound reproduction. I believe you will be on the right track to focus on this range because so often it is overlooked and treated with superficial attention, as a "...

de Charlus,I don't think that you are taking the posts the way that they were meant.Your initial post started with a collection of what you consider to be the finest drivers for specific tasks. That is just fine and you may well be correct.The real j...

[quote user="Markus"]Re-reading, I realise you stated your preference for a sealed bass array only in relation to Dreyer's bass horn, not to bass horns in general.[/quote]Markus, it is not only about the Dreyer's bass horn. It is about lower bass...

What would I do if I move to a much larger room and the power of Milq’s full 6C33C would not be enough? Surely it would be possible to go for transmission tubes but they all high plate impedance and high voltage. If I parallel all my bass drivers and...

[quote user="anthony"]I plan to
build a fullrange Melquiades for a friend and then if that works out the DSET 6
or 7 channel version for myself. [/quote]
That is very good approach in my view. The

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...

So, you are thinking about 3-way installation with GOTO bass, Lowther mid range and some ribbon atop? It is certainly no one knows how I might end up: try it, post the pictures and let know us how it went.
I can see a few points where you might need...

Music does not only expose to musical ideas and permit to share human expirences but also us it reconstructs our own experiences. How many times we hear one or other piece of music and refer our attention to the moments when we first time heard or th...

[quote user="slowmotion"]Your ears ( or some other hearing/sensing mechanism in your body ) "feels" large objects around you, and I think they will definitely "hear" relatively large upperbass horns mounted in the ceiling, even if no music is playing...

Thanks, Josh. I looked for it and found a good link that accumulates a lot of recourses about Danley DTS-10.

I did not know about DTS-10 but this morning I did sent to Tom a...

[quote user="drdna"] The very fact that if you are close enough to the array that the integration fails, thus it proves the issue exists. [/quote]
Hmmmm, the issue exists, yes it does; but I would like to point out that it is necessary to recognize ...

ULF is a consent not implementation.
I did experimented ULF based upon aura 18 in past and now I have the line-array
with 10” ScanSpeeks. The ULF is something that you should not be able to hear without
rest of the system. With my current ULF when...

Well, this for the tip of multi-layering the vertical panel. I like it a lot. I will allow keeping the mild panel thinner and more “airy” visually. The total high of the thing will be not 8’ for rather somewhere slightly above 6’. Also, I review the ...

[quote user="Chirag"]Outside of the already constructed bass towers, is there a reason you are looking exclusively for 10" drivers? I have heard a pair of stacked 15" Lambda's on each side supplementing/providing bass to lower midbass under som...

I think you’re onto something in it. Those Lowthers in fact might be not unfavorable candidates to use with horns at all. An open baffle at 150Hz? Perhaps, although I do not feel that Lowther can handle that exertion with a necessary integrity,...

Hello,
While the question was addressed to Romy, may I be allowed to barge in :-)?...
A question before anything: do you feed the 7788 DC or AC on the filament?
Many tubes are perfectly able to oscillate mechanically on 1KHz--20KHz range, ...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

Well, it happened with me, one of my HH of my DAW, or as they call it “music server”, went down. It does not recognize by BIOS anymore, suck, it would be costly to recover data from there. Partially the most important f...

Edgar, I completely miss you in all of your findings and I also was thinking about 15-in toy with a pair of sunspeak passive radiators. Indeed, Tannoys reinforced by sanspeak passive radiators is a magical configuration. I wonder do you dri...
