[quote user="slowmotion"]Good news if the analogue stages of the DCX2496 is so bad. So the improvement of a modified unit should be worth the ekstra work, and remove some of the x-overs negative influence on the sound. Which is always good to know be...

I find that one of the most interning and stimulating ideas that you expressed was your experience with your bass horn
[quote user="Reinhard"] Midbass horns: are there are two 20 cycle bass horns which normally have 6,50 m in length and 3,20 i...

[quote user="MINGSU"]GOTO always recommend to use 1st order active crossover and 2nd order passive crossover. The reason to use 2nd order for passive crossover is to protect the driver. Of course, the user can use whatever they like the best but the ...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"]Thanks for your kind remarks but the proof of the cook is in the pudding, if you are ever on the west coast you should drop by and have a taste. [/quote] Sure, if I go to SF then I might visit you, in fact there are quite a ...

I'm working on a project that may be of interest to others, and thought posting to this old thread was a better way than beginning a new post.I use speaker level passive crossovers, between multi-amps (not DSET) and drivers. My desire is to move the...

[quote user="noviygera"] I think clearing this up this may be of benefit to other users who are building multi-way horns.Let's say I've got two horns mounted on a frame. There's a high horn above and a mid horn below and they are physically time alig...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Herman, I completely do not understand what you ask. The physical aligning of magnets is absolutely irrelevant. The crossover slopes are irrelevant. [/quote]OK.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Why would you need to do switching b...

RomyThis topic is relevant to me currently as I am attempting to get a 750Hz low-pass into a valve (tube) amp that is driving a bass section ( Supravox 285GMF in an Onken cab ).I have run through a few options in my head but can see various problems....

Fostex T 500A MK 2 Horn Super TweeterArticle By Bill Gaw at www.enjoythemusic.com
As most of you know by now, I'm a horny type of guy. While my wife may dispute this, my audio system (actually my second partner) would have to agree as all seven spea...

The rule of thumb is that you can't localise sounds below 80hz. The classic experiment is to use a sub with an adjustable xo point and adjust it untill you can't tell where it's comming from. That doesn't change the fact that seperating the bass into...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]However, returning back to the subject, I would like the message be stressed: I feel that if people seriously contemplating the digital crossovers then they fight wrong fight for the wrong reasons. [/quote]That is where ...

[quote user="speedysteve"]The systems I've heard with steep slopes (only 4th or 8th order) sound hard and unnatural to me.[/quote] Yes, the higher order crossovers do sound harder even if all time alignment measures are taken. Still, do not forget th...

The more I think about it the more I realized that this 120dB per octave crossover is very interesting move. For sure it is bold move. There are unquestionable benefits of such a “barbaric” crossover as the throwing way bits at the signal get attenu...

Hello,I just logged myself in so first of all: Hi Everybody ;)Few days ago I aquired a pair of very interesting 3way horn speakers which seem, as I imagine, to ba an ambitious DIY project from the past. These are basically the Altec Vott A7 replicas ...

I have been working on my system. I post sparse as I need to listen a lot before doing any changes or decide on anything.I have changed the 1000hz JMLC horn to a 1400hz JMLC horn and the results are better. I have better integration with the Fostex t...

Well, I do have 3 channels of DSEP. Dedicated Single Ended Pentode: one channel (bass/mid 30-500 Hz) with a 307A DH pentode feeding two wonderful Fane neodymium Colossus 12" - one from FS to 150 Hz and the second from FS to 500 Hz. OPT with a lot of ...

[quote user="Bill"]You had that glorious sound with the 40 year old caps in the B2's and the Tannoy crossovers. Do you really want to move away from what they produced in your system. A good way of testing new vs. old caps would be to replace the tan...

In my over 50 years of personal audio, I think that I can explain part of the speaker/amp compatibility. This opinion is everything but comprehensive.Bad matches in amp/speakers manifest themselves very often in the bass. Please consider, these thoug...

Digital Crossovers are wonderful. They are wonderful because they might help to very easy to learn if you are not a Moron ™. I have covered this subject in the threads:

For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. Why did I embark on this quest? Well although I’m quite happy with my headphones, I miss being...

I was reading the Stefano Bertoncello's post about his new multi-amping again options.

.. and I feel that it would be a good idea to brief summarize multi-amping cros...

Let's see "series crossovers"... hmmm, very interesting. Something to look into? Where can I get more information? Should I contact an audio tech to design one? Can I send the current crossovers somewhere for evaluation or do I also have send the...

You need to find an individual who can design series crossovers. Both JBL and Altec used these, because they sounded best. You will need to look for an individual near where you live because they will have to test the drivers as the design progresses...

OK, good luck with your experiments. Be advised however that if you use capacitors for high-pass speaker lever crossovers then those caps need to be aged. The amplitude of this effect wary from cap to cap but all of them in one way or other would ne...

Just so long as the Berringer has a Jan Didden designed output board and has all crossovers done by 300 Hz and the 300 to 20 kHz is handled by a VERY GOOD, VERY MUSICAL and moderately slow tube amp, just to get the important part back into the middle...
