[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I do my best to remain ignorant of the price for which I sell off the hours of my life. (Btw, I'm not a software engineer; I design cars). Yes I could pay someone to do the work, but I'd rather put the cash toward the pur...

It is wonderful how these forums work and how it's members provide the feedback and comments from their experiences and expertise.I am 90% convinced that the DEQX will not provide the magic spatial sound that I am looking for with the Edgarhorns....

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="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...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy, are you going to verify the decision of using fragile vintage drivers?E.g. by trying JBL midbass drivers?They would be closer to the design philosophy of the Fane Studio 8M.http://www.jblpro.com/components/maxout.htm#2020H[/...

Last time we wrote you thought I should focus less on tweeters and more on midbass.I am not done yet, but I have found a very nice midbass solution. Somewhat unorthodox, maybe.I have come to love police sirens! Without having A/B compared it to a pai...

Hi Romy,You wrote:"They tunes for 115Hz and pushed in room down to ~95Hz one channel and 150Hz another."So do your horns have 115Hz flare frequency? (and have the rear chamber tuned for 115Hz as well)From the pictures the horns lo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The first thing first I think that your fear that your “midrange might have ideal frequency response” is not a motivation to change anything. Are you concern about frequency response or about the well-identified subjective ...

Romy,I am in agreement with your observations. I am not certain I will end up using specific crossover slope, like 6db or whatever. It's what I prefer in my current setup. I will try to have make a design that will work with this type of crossover --...

Once again, let make it the last post off the subject of the 5-chals Milq.

I guess you have heard a more detailed speakers then. Your collection seem rather extensive. I never meant the Fane S 8N was overly detailed, just that it my paper horn the detail was gone, so I will not try that again.I share the process because...
