[quote user="Chirag"] Still, I do miss the dynamic lower MF of the 15" woofer...[/quote] Well, this is it. I really do not know what it is and I (and you) call it “dynamics” but it might be something else that juts appears like dynamics… I did not pl...

I have been searching for a good discussion on this subject for a while an yet to come across anything that really explained this: What are the causes/factors of compressed sound? I know it when I hear it, and have heard this phenomenon attributed to...

Petar, wonderful observation as usual. I would like to add one factor that is always there but practically impossible to consider predictably. Any driver has suspension (with exception of suspension-less drivers that are not suitable for bass) and th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I wonder: does it mean that you will take the rest 28 drivers? Hm, are you trying to research the subject of the drivers’ critical mass or become a speaker maker? Be careful with their claims that they will be “manufactured...

Mark,
It is hard to say. I owned T90A sometimes in 2001-2002. At that time I was going through the drivers like crazy and T90A was just one of them. Looking from now I do not think that I gave to many drivers a chance as I did not “work” them trying...

[quote user="Merlin"] ... I often note that you describe TAD compression drivers as being not to your taste. Could you tell us which of their range of drive units you have direct experience of and on what horns? [/quote]
When I experimented wi...

Actually Goto does not have default 5-6-7 way systems. I have seen that they recommend 4 ways systems. Definably in the fields the dealer and distributor load their ignorant customers with as much drivers as possible selling them 55 ways systems.&nbs...

[quote user="Saturntube"] Anyone has some sort of comparison between compression drivers against cone (dynamic) drivers in a this huge mid bass horns, or even upper bass horns. All I heard are this guys from Germany with the out of reach expe...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy,
I find the Veravox 5 drivers are strong contenders when searching for elevated sensitivity 5" drivers. I heard the Veravox 5X in combination with Shindo SET electronics and found it very natural-sounding. Both 5ers have cer...

[quote user="serenechaos"]I don't know where this goes, so I'm just starting it as a new thread; please move (or even edit or delete) as appropriate. After reading too many wondourus reviews of ceramic driver speakers in general, and only havin...

[quote user="angeloitacare"] Of course, Avantgarde with their price tag never will be for mass consumption. I offered Holger then to see If I could commercialize his horns in japan, Do u know how much was the dealer price for a pair of trios at that ...

I was thinking about the throat of my hypothetic midbass horn. This is complex, controversial and it has pretty much no answer, at least in the formeat I ask it. I will share my thoughts with you. Let pretend that I went for exponential midbass profi...

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...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

[quote user="Rewind"]Hi, I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. [/quote] OK, but it is not how I feel about the service of injection...
|
|
Hm, Yes, I kind of forgot the idea of multiple compression drivers blowing into the same throat. I never was too warm to it but I do admit that it would minimize the length of the horn. For sure the right solution would be to make compression driver ...

[quote user="skushino"]ScottL,It looks like the two pics you posted are of different systems, the first being slot loaded PP, and the second (full-system) showing a "traditional" IB. You also seem to be confirming my intuitive hunch of potential sou...

I do not know any advantages because the fact that the sound softer. I personally believe that the electromagnets have HIGHER MOMENTUM FLUX MODULATION and that make them to “sit” slightly… or exactly what I would like t...

[quote user="jweiss"] It was good to finally meet you at CES at the Cogent Room. I guess that you really found Steve and Rich's drivers pretty interesting (you initially wanted to buy a pair of the midrange drivers, remember?) [/quote]
Hi, Jonathan....

[quote user="coops"]…. Avantgarde charge how much for their large Trios yet the modified conventional drivers they use cost only a few bucks each… [/quote]
Avantgarde Trios were $38K retail, overprized but still conventional in the world where the M...

[quote user="Chirag"]Outside of the already constructed bass towers, is there a reason you are looking exclusively for 10" drivers? I have heard a pair of stacked 15" Lambda's on each side supplementing/providing bass to lower midbass under som...

Rewind, the explanation if my injection channel does is well described at this site. I do not own a copyright over injection channel nether term not concept. You can use your injection however you wish and call it whatever you want but what you do is...

[quote user="Stitch"]Silbatone made a Demo with those Horns (the big ones)They said, it is one of three existing WE Horns, made 1935/36 (only mod is the addition of the tweeter you can see there). One Horn is made for 3500 Visitors, so we got a 7000 ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Murat, that's a lot to ask from one driver. [/quote]1000-12 000 is 3.5 octaves.300-3000 is a bit less.[quote]In any case, if you do get useful results with the paper driver, you will have to turn right around and integrate it bac...

Just to share with you with my ideas about the Scepter 500 clones. I´m not sure if I will use the w3801 bass drivers. I felt in love with Altec 416 and quite frankly I very much doubt that Onkyo would sound better or equally good. It surely doesn´t s...

Petar, I might have just been tired, but I thought I saw a pair of "likely" 3.5" paper tweeters, and I played the hypnotized consumer and bought them, to start with my adaption education. It might be a while before they get here, but in the meantime...

well i never thought i would be opening such a pandora's box with this combination.firstly,the drivers have the plastic surrounds(whew,lucky!i know the diaphragms are potentially harder to source than the drivers)what indicators or criteria would mak...

That is the thing exactly, my upperbass solution has the same output amplitude as the compression drivers I am using, IMHO resistrors are the devil in xovers, they kill all sound. Now the difference between 109 db and 110 db can be overcome with c...

[quote user="oxric"]Mike duly explained to me that he would not vouch for the work of anyone not qualified and experienced with Vitavox drivers, given both the complexity of the work and the number of parts that go into making these drivers. I as...
