New attempts at ..well... absorbing reflections from the low ceiling (and diffusing the very highest frequencies I suppose). This is not exactly the type of treatment I want, but it works for experimenting.I also don't think this is quite the same as...

I just came back from Stereophile Show in NYC. A couple of observations. Haniwa's FPIC-100 DSP seems to be nothing but a typical DSP with digital crossover/equalizer/delay with auto feedback through a microphone set at the liste...

I've been thinking; rather than placing the mid-bass horns off to the sides or above the rest of the horns as in the first two images below (a CAD model of the horns in my new place); a plan which implies accepting imperfect time alignment...Ori...

And here is an image showing the driver in the mounting plate (still unable to upload the images; can only include them as attachments. Also, I have to do this one image per post).

When my midbass horns projects will be finished the horns will be peaty much organic part of house and without looking at this thread an ordinary person would never understand what is behind and what it is for. When we look at reasoning for Carnac St...

Oh well.. I'd really like to save the horns. I appreciate your offer to help out!Still no measurements, but this can start the trouble shooting...CONSTRUCTIONFirst I refreshed my memory of exactly what I built. They certainly are far from being copie...

It's hard to predict how the anomaly will sound. Sort of like a dynamic bias shift in the tube. That's why I think IMD. The shift moves around at LF rates, so the HF reproduction can fall on any number of load lines (within loop are...

Sure, I heard, they always sound quite awful and they are an illustration of a wishful but wrong thinking. First of all their tweeter are curved (!!!) into…. something that could be only theoretically called a horn. What was in the mind of a des...

Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note does traditionally price its pro...

Interesting, Ulf.
If your horn runs up-to 500-700Hz (somewhere like mine) then what kind “beaming” you meant? Frankly speaking I did not detect any beaming at those frequencies, quite in contrary – it is very difficult to make anything to beam at un...
