[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Rakesh, the people who read this site have bought Studio 8M many years back. I do not think you will find a lot of investors in this ides here. Also, the people who read this site are accustom to my very idiosyncratically-i...

As I mentioned above, I talked to the manager of Fane International and asked for further assurances in writing that these new drivers would use exactly the same parts as the vintage drivers. I am quoting from the email, and I hope this will provide...

Hi Romy and othersI am in the initial stage of planning a new home, which will have a dedicated music room. I noticed Romy in another thread you were impressed with the rough stone walling. This looks like a great way to disperse reflections. What I ...

Hello John,The woofer is Fane Studio 8M and throat diameter on the 115Hz horn is 5.56".The initial 4.5" depth of the throat is made up by 6 MDF pieces with rough edges (awaiting bondo smoothing).I can easily add 3/4" pieces to the throat section to m...

"Meant to be?"
With 100.5 dB efficiency in quarter space I plan to use a dedicated tube amp. Yes, some people use high powered amps to see how loud they can get Def Leppard, but I don't see any reason to. And some tapped horns...

As can be seen in above photos, the front chamber is in reality "chamber of horrors" with highly polished surface interior, and look at the phase plug, after disassembly, I put it back together, and how can you align it? All that holds it togethe...

Albert, the Adjustable Hydraulic Dampening might be effective if the vibration of floor is the factor. This is exactly what I question as I do not feel that the floor vibration is a problem. Considering the length of the waves and the amplitude of t...

BOX STUFFING"It is very light and has hair from one side." and "glue the box with 3-5cm of high-density foam".- Do you use both a high-density foam and the light and hairy material on top of that, or are they the same?- Do you mean to glue on 3-5cm t...

At first I plan to power the thing SET, with a known, existing amp (a triode wired EL84) which I've already built and know the Sound. It is not bad, but a little "warm" sounding (second harmonics, and is low powered for low frequenci...

Well, acg, I am not wild about your idea of the curved frame,
primary on the reason of esthetics but it is your speaker not mine and you
shall do whatever pleases you. A few mandatory things that I would like to

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...

Nice work; bravo Mike! With regard to improvements to the S2: Apparently Romy's prayer, one of them anyway, has been heard and would seem to have been answered; a diaphragm-centering guide has at last been added. As for the rest (other improveme...

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...

"Hm, I dont
really know about this, I heard a GOTO system with the GOTO 505 in the
GOTO 150 Hz horn and I found it to go anemic in the lower range, I
think a FANE M8, that I heard briefly during some experiments, would do
better in this range wit...

Romy,Your Macondo system is something that has been a "role model" for what I'd like my playback system to be in the coming years. And much of what I've learned about horn playback systems I've learned from reading your writing and other posts on thi...

A little update : Reading some recent comments in the "Configuration from Italy" thread: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=12605#12605 prompted me to share what I've recently done. Yes its an obvious thing to do, but it took...

Josh, Hope you have time enjoying your horns and new production Fane 8ms when not busy getting our world into more financial woe! Your query reminds me that it has been a long time I have not updated this thread and I am posting some of the lates...

First of all we need all to understand that all channels attenuators need only for setting up phase of playback live. When the installations are set up properly then it is all not necessary. Anyhow, if the upperbass has less output then you might use...

First: Anyone with a pair of 8 Ohm Fane Studio 8Ms for sale may contact me (contact info available by clicking on my user name in the blue column on the left of the page).In answer to Romy's comments: I agree that there is a deterioration in sound qu...

"The top response of the upperbass channel is challenged. I do not know why it is – a wrong driver, a wrong curve in J-horn or wrong made filter… "
That sweep mirrors what I hear - specifically tepid and weak upper bass in the presence region betw...

We have two models with different upper bass horns, one is indeed a 140hz horn (77 cm diameter) and the original, bigger horn at 110 hz (92 cm diameter) Both tactrix both made from the same materials (MDF) and finished in the same automotive finish.T...

Years back, when I was doing B/W photography very serious (I was 12-14 then), I always had in my mind an idea of “different” film processing methods. I had a notion that film shell be developed in a certain way, very different they it was done by def...

Well a scepter or a baton... Last night before setting up the RTA, I listened to a recording of orchestral works from Strauss (Kempe conducting)... It was early enough that I could "air out the system" a bit. And Ok, maybe I don't have all ...

well, i believe that the popularity of the better fostex tweeters comes from their typical, off-shelf sound which is soft and easy on ear in comparison with super-resolunt Ti or Be diaphragm equipped competition. they very much suit any sharpness com...

You might change your mind after you put the PP2000 into the game. Anyhow, I do not know what Bruce did with his Titans tweeter; I do not even remember it they are in time-aligned position. The EdgarHorn Titans uses Fane ST-5022 bullet tweeter. I had...
