[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I see some kind of so called “transmission line” that is fractured from multiple labyrinths where each of section acts as different resonant chamber… then I do not want to hear about “energy releasing and the rest crap.[/qu...

Somebody from AA was asking about electromagnet. The subject pup up here from time to time but this time Bruce Edgar uploaded an interesting comment. Bruce is not a typical AA Moron and if he says “inaccurate things” then it is not due to ignoran...

Ronnie,
I’m sorry I was not able to detect the clipping you were taking about listening your file. However, if you can hear ANYTHING distorted at 1kHz (when ONLY your upper bass horn is playing) then you might consider the following: it has NOTHING ...

I was pointed out to the fact the Magico has a new idea of their 5 way horn-loaded speaker. I did review the Magico former 4-way project, it was very bad:

As the writer of the above-referenced propaganda, I am pleased to once again tweak the whiskers of the cat.
First off, this is promotional material so what the heck do you expect? Every brochure offers a new benchmark in performance or it is not doi...

I've only had the pleasure of listening to 'professional' horns (whatever 'professional' really stands for)--horn normally used in concerts and small venues. (It was always so obvious to me--by listening--that the range of the horn-loaded 'bass...

[quote user="Antonio J."] I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still wer...

[quote user="be"]They mention an intricate back chamber for the high frequency unit, maybe thats the primary function of the tube, apart from positioning the unit relative to the rest.[/quote]

to think about explanations but wait that explanation will be brought to you.
Here is a homework to you: provide answers to the following questions:

Moreart, somebody sent me this link last year. You are surely the DIY pioneer of back loaded Manger.As you probably know this is a touchy speaker to work with. Rated at 91 dB/W input by the factory, we measure ~91 up to near 92 dB/1W/1m in our two mo...

[quote user="KS"]Thats the kind of stuff I was hoping for. I appreciate the help with this, there seems to be a scarcity of horn related discussion on the web and its proving hard to learn the ropes.One other unrelated question that could save me a l...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not understand what does it mean. Are you saying
that you lost bottom response with closed exit hole on the driver back? If with
the closed drift from back you have a (loaded!) response no lower than 200Hz then it i...

Hm, I like the Cessaro thinking a few years back and I love it now. A very good move with this “Liszt” loudspeakers, even I am against the idiotic tendency to grand to the audio element the composers names. Take a look what Cessaro did. A tweeter, p...

I think that we need some standard interfaces on our playback gear to log operating parameters. Temperature, Gm, current, voltage. On loudspeakers maybe temperature/impedance, for digital playback I would like to see jitter, correction, transcoding e...

Hard to comment on this one... Seems like most everyone I talked to there hears with their eyes, and thought they were beautiful sculpture, therefore sounded wonderful... Maybe I should just be honest and say I flat didn't like the s...

Well, I have a theory that the rough surface may be helping to attenuate multiple back-forth axial reflections, but from what you say, it may be that it results in - what's the proper term? - irregular as opposed to laminar flow at the surf...

Use a ladder tye end of string put other end threw the horn you use for 1000Hz take off driver, measure front of driver to poll piece, that is were the diaphragm mounts to. add that to your measurement and that is were you put the tape. Then with the...

Well, I was thinking that there might be something of a "shock wave" created if they run too low, and the pillows might soften that up, almost as though one were trying to get the horn to behave more like a direct radiator at LF, where there is not e...

Skushino, Thanks for pointing it out. Unfortunately with all my desire to understand what CH Audio did turn to fiasco and I absolutely do not understand this LF section. Is it a duplex of 515 drivers with one loaded in this front shallow front horn a...

There's no plasma tweeter on the Cessaro. The tweeter is the TAD ET-703. The HK owner has a gold-coloured horn for the tweeter, but there's no plasma driver. I'm pretty sure the horn on the Lansche plasma tweeter is a good bit larger than the horn on...

thanks for the good infoactually we are developing a full horn-loaded speaker the bass-bin is just inspired by Klipsch La Scala (just like Volti speaker) with curved sides. the mid-range consists of TAD 4001/Beryllium in Edgar wooden Tractrix horn an...

Arno, I have plenty at my site that describes in great detains why and what I do not like in idea of single driver with back-loaded horn. Build it and hear what you will be getting. The software you are irrelevant. There are no intended or not inte...

I gave another run to Vitavox S2 with electromagnet and while I was listening I come across to an interesting observation. I screw the S3 in 330Hz horn and was trying to run it with 500Hz crossover point. It is pretty standard configuration, the way ...

Yes, sure, conceptually it would look very interesting to bund drivers and DSET amplification into one entity. I think if I use some kind of SS SET amplification then it would be a good idea to make amplification in the shape of the attachments to th...

[quote user="HookEm"]I've heard so much about these legendary SET mono-blocks; but as I understand it, it's VERY important to match them up with proper (efficient) speakers.Anyway, I'd welcome some feedback on matching these amps with Lamhorn 1.8's +...
