I never heard it or about it but here is data:

I do not know what is meant by “close bottom” or “open bottomless”-- please expound?I do not know of importance of enemys death to this topic. There is a long thread in the subwoofer section of "devil audio" about tapped horns. John mentioned gettin...

The $3.6K per pair, if they are good divers - the 2440 level, is a tolerable price for custom-made drivers. I presume that he does not include and PS into the price. My major question would not be about the drivers – the filed-coils are very simple d...

Stefano, I do not exactly follow what you tried to say but it is OK. We do need to understand that we do when we are talking about Goto or any other driver manufactures. It is absolutely not know what the hell sound comes in your drivers. I hardly be...

[quote user="Vasyachkin"]
compression drivers are the way to go as far as i am concerned but obviously performance depends on the horn lens.
my beef with ET-703 is that i don't understand its horn or whatever it is. if not an explana...

I am currently planning high-WAF speakers for my sister which have to stand in the corners on the floor. Asking for small corner horns I was told the EV Baronet could be a solution. Simulating it with roughly estimated dimensions I found that the FR ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is was not bad sound but the sound that clearly indicated that something is very wrong: supper compressed, complete absent of LF, huge HF extension. The whole horn sounds like a bad MD driver.[/quote]Open the back panels...

One of the main advantages of Macondo configuration was the fact of multi amplification. As with any other systems which have a dedicated amplifier of the same type to each individual driver Macondo can run over dynamic range with amazing ease th...

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] It seems that I do agree with you about the sound of compression driver midbass.. at least from what I have heard in my own room.. I have heard the big ALE drivers you mention on a bent steel horn similar to what ALE bu...

My first impressions a about the “differences” of field-coiled derived form the time when I ran the Telefunkens war time drivers but at that time I had no reference how the same driver would act with permanent magnet. Also, the Telefunkens are the re...

I take it back, 100Hz is pushing it regarding horns and compression drivers I know of. I can't imagine a compression driver reaching the midbass muscle of the Fane S 8M. And I don't see why one should try, when the Fane reaches 120Hz so effortlessly....

Robin, of course I meant to say above that the Heils are equivocal when pressed, and no reason for me to think a compression chamber mosh with another driver would improve this quality; but I am just guessing. It would certainly be interesting i...
|
|
is the compression driver problem not solved by using multiple drivers all feeding into the same, relatively large throat, eg four 2.5 inch drivers into a 5 inch throat? The idea is that sensitivity to reactance will be much less at lower excursions,...

Herman,Im sure you are right about what you are saying and it makes perfect sense. In the Valencia though, the 416 was crossed over at 800Hz to an even smaller(1") compression driver and to me it sounded really good. The reason I chose a 15" in the f...

I pulled a mono set of these exact looking horns out of a movie theater they were installed in 1946 :)the system consisted of 2 of these bass cabs and one gigantic dual compression driver horn on top for the entire theaterI am no horn guy and looking...

Hi Romy. Interesting point as i had similar perception along my recent I ran an 8inch driver with fronthorn. Then just got my hands on a pair of RFT L-3701 (or 3702). http://tempuri.org/tempuri.htmlA fabulous driver with exactly those parameters. T...

I am quite fascinated with the result that I might get from MiniME and at the same time I am defensive with the direction it takes. Anyhow, here is how it stands…
The decision to go for MF driver was I think right one. Even the 70-20RX tweeter has s...

Last time we wrote you thought I should focus less on tweeters and more on midbass.I am not done yet, but I have found a very nice midbass solution. Somewhat unorthodox, maybe.I have come to love police sirens! Without having A/B compared it to a pai...

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...

We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...

Hello,This is my first post to this site, which I have been absorbing for over a year.A horn project that I have been considering would include either a 1 inch or 1.5 inch throat compression driver into a Tractrix profile horn of which I have not yet...

"Sadurni Acoustics' Staccato 4-way hornspeaker exploits MDF horns with up to 3" wall thickness. The 92cm lower midrange horn which loads a cone driver can "achieve 100Hz in-room". The actual 'turbine-horn' midrange driver is a compression sort. "The ...

ltsv38, it is an interesting solution for lower midrange horn. If I use something like this for Macondo ‘s fundamental channel (but of cause spherical) then I would flip the horn with driver up and run the neck longer to accommodate a slower, expone...

Yes, the tamed beast is an oxi-moron. I thought of my 808s as ragged, rough (grainy) and spitty, while the S2 was also ragged/uneven, but the roughness was more like the sound of a metal zipper. Anyway, I never heard either of these stock drivers m...

Herman, horn dimensions does not described by size of driver but only size of throat. It will be absolutely nothing changed in the horn dimensions if you go from between 10" and 12" driver. Sure you would need a bit larger back side of the horn to ac...
