[quote user="drdna"]I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may ...

N-Set, I invite you to make your own recording of the phase of your Dunnoy. I used my phone camera to do it and a free online sweep generator. I had Tannoy, Scanspeak and laptop screen all in shot when I filmed and shot...

May I ask you- what you proposed to drive CEC TLO into dCS ...

[quote user="Blaukopf"] First, Romy describes his horns as spherical. Later he names them tractrix. Are some of the profiles of the spherical wave profile? [/quote]
Yes, they are spherical, wish means not rectangular. ...

[quote user="rowuk"] If this is the best that your
engineers have to offer, you need better engineers. Bruce Edgar did far better

It is unreasonable to expect "immediate gratification", but I will be watching to see if there will be more interest in sound than in technology coming in the near future. To be honest, the advantages of carbon fiber or high BL are FAR BELOW the corr...

[quote user="noviygera"] Question, Romy:Why do you suggest to add the extension on the back, not the front, as B. Edgar suggested. He specifically commented that the MOUTH area is too small and said the throat size was OK?[/quote] Herman, the mouth a...

Edgar, there is a part of the field that travels directly through the air from the source to the receiver and the other part that travels along the wire. What seems "instantaneous" is the in reality a very very short but finite time that the light ne...

Bruce Edgar room was probably the only rooms at the entire show where form my prospective it was possible to begin to talk about "pure audio", so I will.

Herman,
What you describe is fine. Over the course of last years I had a number of people who report identical things to what you do. Even if you change volume of back chamber and move resonance frequency then sound will change but it most lik...

[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]

[quote user="Macman"]Just realised that I had dual highpass filters on the TH, which more or less cut off frequencies below 50Hz entirely. A lot better now, still much to be made of course.[/quote]

Indeed I am welcoming a newcomer to a horn world. It looks

western product but in bad...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

[quote user="haralanov"] Your midbass horns have delay with decay, because there are a lot of internal reflections (acoustic resonances) that takes some time to settle down below the treshold of hearing. It can not be compensated by "special type...

One more thing about the JBL 375, I did play around with them enough, I aligned the diaphragms several times untill they sounded their best and were very listenable, This was some time ago now, I didnt turn my horns then, so I tried them on the orig...

Edgar, not sure how long you've been at FM, but there is an FM board here at GSC that sould give you some food for thought. As ever, some things stay the same, and other things have changed. For instance, analog has changed to digital, but the weirdn...

These were my first high end speakers purchased in 1980. They have been sitting in my basement for about 30 years as I've gone through everything from VMPS super tower 2 ar's to B&W 800 to my self built Edgar horns, which I’ve been using for abou...
