Yes, there are a lot of paths.I can see that many DIYers are very much stick on crossovers, changing capacitors, choosing slopes in digital filters - FIR or not FiR and so on.I know very experienced people who now say that with digital crossover he d...

[quote user="anthony"]My RAAL Lazy Ribbon has ended up needing a 1st order high pass filter to match the midrange S2 which is so much more convenient than third or fourth order as initially intended.[/quote]
In my case I found that RAAL ribbon wit...

Putting The Mid Bass horns behind your head will not work. This thread was about Mid Bass Horns Project, do you thank you will be able to use any frequency above 80 cycles with rear fired horns that are behind your head? That is a Joke. It looks more...

Thanks, Roman... I strangely (?!?) feel me like a schoolboy at his first primary schoolday... virtually ALL my (limited) audio knowledge, vanished... and I'm dealing with brand-new problems, like a crossover with fixed slopes and cut-off frequencies ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Even if you don't agree with the design, there's some clever DIY going on here.[/quote] Sorry, I did not now see any “clever DIY going on” in there. For sure he is a skilful, perhaps wonderful machinist and perhaps good ca...

This is our first offering; we are indeed working on another two higher priced models. One will have an additional channel on top, the other one will be front horn loaded down to 40 hz. Optional finish and colors, both for horns and supports, a...

Ok, Andrew, this is allergy something. I would highly advise you in future before you post any discrete updates, questions, and ideas about what you to inform about the holistic objective of your project, sort of a view from 50.000 feet. That what I ...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"] A digital crossover with lower bit depth and sampling rate than the recordings it's processing won't deliver maximum sound quality; unfortunately my DEQX crossover is limited to 24/96 so it can't process hi-res digital ...

de charlus - I used a few of these Behringer boxes and the level of features is staggering. However, in my experience with the Ultra box, sound quality was significantly reduced in "bypass" mode, reduced further when employed as a DAC, and reduce...

Hi to everybody,I have used those caps: teflon V-caps, AN copper, Jensen copper, Siemens at the signal path of a tube power amplifier (300b SE) application. V-caps are technically very good, very clear, less microphonics, but missing s...

Higher sensitivity of loudspeaker leads to higher dynamic range but most of audio people mistakably feel that it should lead to ability of loudspeaker to play loud. Tom Brennan, from the AA sewers, mentioning the advantaged of Klipsch La Scala stated...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last year the speaker was presented by “Horning Hybrid Perikles” importer who told me that they demonstrated: “3-ways loaded into the same horn loudspeaker”. I asked him to explain what dose it mean “3-ways loaded int...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]T, would you elaborate on it if you feel that it has any merit?[/quote]Really, I do not know. From my limited experience I have found that multiway active systems are very much a tuning excercise par excellance. Given th...

Hm, the Injection channel via Lecleach? The MF via Lecleach? I wonder why people then are complaining about the vertical limitations. Anyhow, closer to the point.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] After observing a pair of AK151s operating in free air, though only lightly driven, I just don't see how they can possibly generate so much pressure, as the cone barely moves! [/quote]
Why shout they move? One of the ide...

user="anthony"]Romy, I understand that at some stage you trialled a
number of different capacitors and settled upon Electrocube 950B/D not
necessarily for the Melquiades but perhaps for some other project. I was
wondering if you ever expe...

Dear All,I wish to commence gathering the components and finding the craftsmen necessary for my DIY speaker project, but wished to bring my proposal before this forum in order to establish whether it's intrinsically worthy, and whether any simple imp...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Is this because of the way you are driving them?When testing my one completed mid-bass horn (AK151 into 40Hz Exponential with 8" throat), and powering it from an amp that drives everything from upper bass to HF, the output...

Despite the fact the I lost the quality of the lower knee of my midbass horn (I guess the primary resonance went all the way down) I keep trying to catch the right termination of midbass low pass filter. I bought those expensive 20H coils and added ...

Well, the morons, particulary the Audio Groupies (read more here), at AA were mildly bitching about this thread, nothing new. Unfortunately the thread is a perfect depicturing of the typical level of results and the most important - the level of...

Here is a homage to the Macondo, or at least two channels of it - 400Hz tractrix with S2 and a 140Hz tractrix with Fane 8M. A T350 for HF and an as yet undefined LF solution is to be added. The horns are from Stereo Lab, with the la...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

[quote user="Paul S"]I have also been thinking of subbing electrolytics for the huge - up to 100 uF - caps in my speaker level crossovers, just to hear it for myself. Although everyone says to use polys in the signal path, etc., I just wonder a...

Ok, none it is time to dive into the practical process of tweeters alignment. Once again I presume that we are taking about monopole tweeters that use AFTER your midranges compression drivers (read my previous post). Some people use term “supertweete...

Number one, that I'd like to run by you guys due to it's simpler nature and closer to reality execution is the idea I have been thinking about. No first hand experience with any of this.Say we use something like altec 1505b multicellular horn that sh...

While I have heard the terms static dynamics, micro and macro dynamics, I have never heard of dynamic dynamics. Are you referring to the term “changing dynamics”, which means a volume change, either gradual or instantaneous. What was missing yesterda...

Romy, it’s selfunderstood (at least to me) that the project is in its infancy and you are on terra incognita. Im trying to visualize what was „the last working configuration”.

Danvprod, I hope you understand that “proper four or five-way system” is some kind of Unicornnish type of animal and we could talk about it only abstractly. Still, since you have mentioned it – what and how are you trying to accomplish with your five...
