Jessie, as it happens, I find my own best listening position varies somewhat these days, depending on what I'm listening to or for. For the best overall energy in my fairly energetic room, it is with my ears about 1 1/2 m off the...

Chris, I have no experience with good sounding SS amplifier that might drive high sensitive horns. I also have no expertise to build such an amp. From what I trued before I have learned that in order to sound more or less acceptable the SS should run...

Good luck getting midrange from F120A for non annoying monitors. Seems reasonable to expect, many people have been very happy with these drivers... I haven't tried this specific driver, but have spent some time trying to get a simila...

So when you "read about endless delays in production and delivery", the first thing you do is order an expensive piece of equipment no questions asked or precautions taken??

I have run each of these for long periods and can validly comment.My power amp circuitry is a 6N1 based Mu Follower driving a 2A3 in turn driving a 3K Tamura amorphous core OPT.The 6N1 tube is a special military type that is not freely available.Ther...

The speakers i've got are JBL studio monitors using a 2420 (118dbwm 16O) on top and a 2231 (93dbwm, 8O) on the bottom, which already accomodate bi amping, though like i mentioned a midrange driver would probably be a good idea and so a six way amp wo...

What I would like to see is as usually does not exist but I would like to see a regular cone full-range loudspeaker objectionably made for use with a single powerful SET.
What I have in mind is a sealed enclosure the size of Dunlavy V or VI, 4-5 way...

Looks like I'm back into this again, since, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Yoshi up and sent me his "neutered" Reps 1 drivers (he surgically removed the whizzers).I started turning my existing Basszilla components and these guys together ...

If you visited this site before 2004, when I conversed it to audio site then you remember that it was performances-centric site. It was structured by composers, and each (let say some) composition had a list of reported...

It is OK, Item. It is a common for people who sell audio to be not completely informed what they are selling. That comes with territory. You might discover with time that audio is much more interning then just to dump a pile of BS on people and to ma...

Another K&K user contacted me recently, and he subsequently sent me new MOSFETS to swap with those I had in my unit. Original MOSFETs were Supertex DN2540. New MOSFETs are IXSYS 1N100D.The only reason I swapped these was out of curiosity. The ...

[quote user="tuga"] Romy,On the subject of speaker design, I don't think you'll disagree if I say that your "quest for a better monitor" was unsuccessful.You mentionaed at the time that the speakers should respect the following:1) Perform correct in ...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last year the speaker was presented by “Horning Hybrid Perikles” importer who told me that they demonstrated: “3-ways loaded into the same horn loudspeaker”. I asked him to explain what dose it mean “3-ways loaded int...

Let me list for you what I think drives sound quality to me:1. In room flat response at the listening positions2. equal decay at al lfrequencies off axis3. Adequate delay between direct & first order reflections. 4. Lack of distortion, or suitabl...

I presume that whoever read this thread have gone over my comments about the Sound of the former PurePower 1050, particulary my comments about the PurePower’s “Super Texture” at the page #5 of this thread. This controversial “Super Texture” was my ma...

IMO, any sonic benefits from running Lowthers stock are totally swamped by excessive, ragged response that is generally (but not steadily...) rising - a lot - toward HF. There have been many ideas for "taming the Lowther", and here is another one, b...

[quote user="Serge"]Romy consider that the engineers who did your Altecs in their worst nightmare could not imagine their lovely cinema speakers would be used with solid state amplifier which badly distorts on LOW power levels. It has 100 crappy watt...

I was thinking and fantasizing about finishing of my midbass horn. My first idea was to paint it internally with the same color as my cathedral room. Perhaps a lighter grade of paint in the end as the horn goes dark. As the only mouths of the horns w...

[quote user="noviygera"]I feel that the best candidates are metal springs. 1. They won't compress or deteriorate quickly.2. They work good in the used freq. range.3. Easy to replace. Easy to tune by adding or removing springs.4. Easy to float the ent...

Rick, as I "remmember", the PP output waveform was a "perfect" squarewave, in terms of shape, but it's pulsed. And I think Romy said it worked with a load of up to 60% of "capacity". Does a different regenerator have to "work the same" to "sound as g...

In my experience even the most shitty system plays a certain recording very well, whenever I go to listen to a playback the owner puts those special recordings that sound great on his system, (we all have heard them endlessly on shows). I have a cl...

Dear Romy,The tracks are correctly listed.Yes, the tracks are varied and some are not good recordings at all. BUT if you want to listen to Billy Bean play guitar or you want to hear Louis Stewart's first recording as an 18 year old then you hav...
