I shold make it clearer:The Goto was used in a Goto 150Hz horn, crossed at 180Hz.I guess that is a proper implementation for Goto.The Fane was in a 140Hz tractrix horn with a 10cm throat and a not optimised (to large ) back chamber, and no crossover ...

Gentleman.... I have available 2, NOS Fane 8M speakers. They have never been used and are still in their original packaging materials. I obtained these some years ago for a project which I did not pursue and would be interested in selling them. ...

Romy, do you think there is enough of a chance Fane's new studio 5 incher (http://www.fane-acoustics.com/pdfs/Studio_5M.pdf) could be driven down far enough to be worth trying out for an upper midbass horn (120Hz)? ...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I wish I could pin-point the frequencies and explain the effect better. I'll do my best.I want to cover my ears when a Pavarotti sings certain higher notes or some notes when Caballet sings pretty "comfortably".It's like bad PA h...

Congratulations on building and arriving at a place where you are happy. It is often difficult to know when to finish persuing something in life. I am sure you will enjoy litening to music more without listening out for areas you can improve on.Aside...

hi romy
idea of a 4way speaker system. not time aligned, but in compensation mid-bass horn and mid-high would create a one point source.
30hz - ~ 120hzBass cabinet similar to bassmaxx

Dear Romy,OK, some more about the midbass.Well, it was not really a surprise to us that the horn without the phase plug was dissapointing. Without the plug we had a horn that was a bit too short, had too large front cavity and less compression than w...

Mjloudspeaker,
That is all fine. I get that you like them, even though said nothing about the “new” M4 sound. There is another “even though”. You do not log it into horn and like just the sound of open driver. It is absolutely not indicative. ...

Present system consists of:140Hz (3" throat) horn with Fane Sovereign 6" driver (120-700Hz)250Hz horn with JBL 2440 driver (700Hz-2kHz)600Hz horn with JBL 2420 driver (2-12kHz)Bass is one Scan-Speak 8555 8-incher per channel ...

The system is still very much a work in progress, but I have come to the conclusion that the concept as such is very, very good. It's only up to me to make it sound as well as I know it is capable of. Making and fine-tuning the crossover might take m...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I completely agree, and will use the driver that sounds best with a 40Hz exponential horn. I have both versions of this driver, and have listened to them both in an A/B situation, out of the horn; I remember noting the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
BTW, I was not kidding about the dual-concentric 8” Fane. They did make a version of Studio 8M with a tweeter in the middle. I have it sitting in my driver storage…Another BTW: the tractrix curve was not introduced by Br...

Hi everyone,It is quite ironic that the day I hear from Fane telling me that the Fane 8Ms are finally ready, I should receive this update from my horn maker maestro. Russ Collinson of Layers of Beauty. Russ, if you ever read this here, please take a ...

All-I'm optimizing new speakers, but the deep subject matter is a little new to me. Will this work?Using a pair of Welborne Labs DRD300B SET amps (tapped 8ohms) with a 3-way passive crossover to integrate these drivers. Here is ...

[quote user="decoud"]Since the 8M is now no longer to be had anywhere, for love or money (delighted to be contradicted on this), would people care to suggest alternatives for precisely the use Romy puts it to: driving a round, 3-4 inch throat, upper ...

[quote user="anthony"]Romy, I
appreciate that this is an old thread now and that you may not remember
everything from your time developing these amplifiers, but I have a (hopefully)
simple question about the upperbass crossover in the schematic ab...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...
|

Yeah, I know it is just guesswork until the Fane S 8M and the JA6681B are in place in their respective horns. Your ideas around fixing the midbass and mids first, I have read before and they seem sensible. We can stop here, and I will finis...

RomyIt's topical to ask, since I'm building a 4-way system at the moment ..( Tapped horn behind and three-way horn system in front )Do you favour the tweeter horn to be placed at the top, above the mid/HF horn , or in this situation place the tweeter...

[quote user="Jorge"]I guess it would be simple enough to add a couple of inches in order to bring the throat down to 4" in order to try the Studio 8M. I have already reduced it temporarily to 3" in order to try the JBL 2490h compression driver. ...

My work to make the Fane S 8m work, continues amd I have yet to hear my midbasshorn built perferctly according to Romy-specifications. I will continue because in early trials there was something I did like. I guess I will just end up with a measly €...

[quote user="anthony"]It is a compression driver with an 8" cone. If you want authority at 300Hz you will need diaphragm area. The Fane Studio 8M that Romy and plenty of others use for 100Hz up to 1kHz is an 8" cone driver on a 4" throat with a clo...
