Again, a manufactures make a product, gave it to reviewer and the reviewer expressed nothing but indication of own idiocy.

I was pointed out to Steve Guttenberg’s video “Meet Joe, and
his amazing DIY horn speakers” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFoCVw2AJRc.
I would like to provide some commentary regarding what I
observed in there. Steve Guttenberg is an in...

Understanding Line Array SystemsBy John Murray
Behind the buzz, there are a lot of factors at work in line arrays. An explanation and comparison of current models. This discussion can’t be contained in just a few paragraphs, so we must start with th...

John, I disagree.
No one deny the importance of harmonics and you are right saying that “If a speaker does not reproduce the harmonics correctly, then the tone is not reproduced correctly.” However you are talking about a complete speaker, not...

Well, be afraid to get what you wish people say and it is exactly what happens in this thread: last week I expressed curiosity about the tapped horns and today I have more information about them than I wished. I appreciate John, Robert, Tom and ...

I realized that this thread is slowly becoming the most sophisticated web recourse about Midbass Horn available. Trying to keep the thread educational I would like to introduce to my readers one more objective of my project. The subject is super ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] There should be no danger in running the S3s down to 500Hz; I am currently running a pair of S2s (same diaphragm as S3) down to 450Hz, 1st order, no problem.
The system is in a room that measures around 80m² with a 3m-h...

First off, let me say Hello to all fellow Audiophiles!
I'm an audio-obsessed 29 year old currently living in the United States (Minnesota), and have spent years perfecting HIFI systems in vehicles, and over...

Jessie, 45Hz horn with 6”-7” throat around AK151 driver is from my perspective is the best thing might be theoretically built around a cone driver. I really envy of you and if I had room I would unquestionably go for it; this is why I keep a pair of ...

OK, I would like to make a commentary on the subject. I know that people who love to chop wood at DIYAudio site would consider...

I was slowly looking for a compression driver that would go in my Fundamental Chanel down to 200Hz. The YL Acoustic 550N attracted my attention. Then I realized that it is the narrow throat type of the drivers, aka WE555, not exactly that I would...

I think that I extended too much credit to them. They were saying
about different midbass and bass horns and I was under impression that they do
not let their yellow driver back loaded horn to run all the way down. To use
Foxtex with no high pass ...

[quote user="speedysteve"]I have found
that 8th order X/O works best with them and I cross at 90Hz these days.
4th order is ok but you get minor colourations and some bleed through
that just aren't a distraction on 8th order. The bass horn takes ...

user="Jorge"]We only
use the Beringher for bass under 100 hz, driven by the main amp. We tried a lot of different
solutions, including analog active xovers, the DCX is clearly better than the
Analog Xovers we tried. There
are very few com...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

I am quite fascinated with the result that I might get from MiniME and at the same time I am defensive with the direction it takes. Anyhow, here is how it stands…
The decision to go for MF driver was I think right one. Even the 70-20RX tweeter has s...

I wrote a few weeks ago a typically-pissed article about hypocrisy and lie in audio and how you, the fools, allow it exists in audio, despite that we would hardly permit it to exist in our “out of audio live”. I did not posted this article yet but an...

OK, I agree – it might be not necessary as PP2000 does produce fine electricity in a convenient package. Furthermore it violates the rule that I try to follow in audio generally: define snick objective and ONLY then render audio methods.

user="anthony"]I guess I am lucky that the Bass Cannons can be run
off 9w from the DSET bottom channel and from memory I get about 115dB at 18Hz
once room reinforcement does its magic. One of the few benefits of a
small room. [/quote]

I should not even stress more that I do not like people at DIYAudio.com. The domination majority of them incredible idiots and the brightest among them… do not really have any perspective what audio is all about. I do admit that in some seldom cases ...

Like cv, I've not directly compared mumetal
to amorphous in an OPT position. However, my hunch is that the sonic
attributes are the same as those found at line level (I've tried
various Xformers as the IV/output stage in my Rakk Dac).
I now ru...
