Romy,
Why preface my comments ? I've had the same system for 10 years basically. I do use digital crossovers but the 'Class D' NuForce amps are not digital at all. And the NuForce amps don't sound like stereotypical Class D amps, they are very quie...

[quote user="ayebee"]If you look at the original Bionor drawings (you can find them at klangfilm.free.fr) you see that the "bass" horn is actually made out of two sections, the outer is curved, the inner is conical and expand both horizontally and la...

Years ago, the two different systems in which I heard RCA 1428s - in a fairly big warehouse and crammed into a basement listening room - used giant RCA multi-cell horns in combination with giant Ubangi bass bins, passive crossovers and vintage WE or ...

In the thread “Vitavox S2 with Electromagnets.” there was plenty of discussion about RCA 1428 driver. Here is more to it: the Great Vintage Loudspeakers made a new production of the RCA 1428 driver.

I do not know how my S2 driver will sound but I defiantly know that it will have the problem with temperature. Looking prematurely at the driver’s sound it looks like it produce the necessary magnetic force at 2A-2.3A, that heats a lot of this driver...

The reader who read my comments above about Lamm’s new ML3 amplifiers might have wrong impression where I’m coming from. I have a general tendency to be skeptical (because the experiences) when I exposed to audio but in case of ML3 there is much deep...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I had today a conversation with RAAL’s Alex and he pinched to me a very interesting idea. He feels that I attenuate the outpit of my “Water Drop” too much. I have no doubts that I attenuate it as much as necessary and Alex ...

[quote user="Gregm"]Actually, that could be a viable commercial product: a "stereo am"p allowing for four channels. One hi side, one low side, per channel.Any moron purchasing this could be stratosphrically happy flabbergasting his pals by "passively...

[quote user="cv"] I think the main advantage of the EM is reducing flux modulation. There was a post recently by one of the attendees who went with Feastrex claiming that Dr Kilppel (of famous measurement tools suite) measured one of their drivers an...

Well, Paul, a majority of audio Morons is that in their infinite chase for a “better” turntables approach the subject of turntables’ assessment using fundamentally faulty techniques. Let pretend, juts for sake of illustration, that a pric...

[quote user="Kcct82"]On to other things... now that we've been using the GOTO SG505 for a while, the verdict is that it does not sound good below 290hz. [/quote]
As I understand you use the GOTO SG505 in 150Hz horn and report that it does not sound ...

Romy,
For what it’s worth, I do not doubt that your grievances when it comes to Mr. Weiss extend beyond not liking his products and amount to such a deep-seated abhorrence of his whole being, that it taints anything or anyone that comes close...

I use the word “groupies” loosely and under “audio groupies” I recognize a quite large pack of the abhorred by me audio individuals. The Audio Groupies are the people who made own awareness subordinated to some kind of audio initiative, concept, bran...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...

This thread is derivation from the Collin’s post:

[quote user="Gregm"] No-one is criticising the ML3 (amplification) product. We are discussing the concept and the applicability of such products, i.e. the ultimate limitation of an amplifier called upon to work from DC to daylight and, accordingly, d...

"Gargoyle, YMMV, but I
associate LF propagation/amplification with mass; there has to be some
way to really "anchor" at least the LF driver. "Noted"I was thinking MF for

A few months ago a reader of my site contacted me and informed about that he found a very interesting driver, that his is using and he is very excited about it. The driver is JBL 2490.

Hi all
The first link, to the musique_concrete website was because there's
pictures of some horns made for the S2 .
I hope anyone interested in JMLC horns read the last four links,

thanks I have a few questions to ask if you do not mind:
1) Did you experiment with surface of the horns and a negative contribution of smooth surface to Sound?Smooth surface are fine don't waste my time on a trival matters.

Well, I do not like the ESD debut. It was not well though
