[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[/...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Roman, could you (or enybody ) elaborate a little bit on JBL L8 and its application ? Not so much sensible info on the net besides that its a fullrange usefull in 40Hz-8kHz. [/quote]I do not know, how can I elaborate if I never ...

My current speakers are Edgarhorns with the straight 80hz upper-bass shell. The bass never sounded correct to me. The problems with Edgar's mid-bass are well documented at this site and elsewhere. I tried some simple modifications to the crossover...

Thanks, Dominik, an interesting driver and an interesting direction. JBL is probably one of the few large companies that that do something “pushy” with sound. Still, what they do and even if what they do objectively advantageous I am not sure that it...

Today LeCleach 550hz arrived together with another round horn - Jabo KH-53 (350hz).I've measured 3 drivers in 550hz horn: GPA 288, JBL 2453 and JBL D2430K D2.JBL 2453 really impressed me. This is definitely best driver I ever had!Tone is perfect and ...

Back in the 90's i bought a pair of Aura 1808 woofers and made a set of 24 cubic foot corner enclosures 1 1/2 thick, crossover at 100hz, close to 300 pounds, way over built enclosure with a baffle on the face of the enclosure that i could remove. I T...

Though he seems to like running several TTs in parallel, I do not interpret Pham's page to show that he is running more than just one horn system; what I see is an evolution of a system. It looks like, in its latest iteration (under the heading "Syst...

This is my first horn build effort. Been thinking about this since starting to build loudspeakers and finally have a listening space big enough to support a horn system. This is where I am at now, I know there are opportunities for improvement. And I...

Looks like it will be a long learning curve...first discovery - I've matched the levels of the jbl vs BMS accurately - and subjectively the jbl sounds 3-5db louder. and much fuller. very healthy sound too.I'm going to take this chance to listen to lo...

I had a SG370 mid apart only yesterday.I should have taken a photograph.I have also seen the inside of the tweeter.They are very similar,so I have no reason to suppose the low mid SG 505 will be much different.I'll try to explain.I think they a...

[quote user="Bud"]You need to find an individual who can design series crossovers. Both JBL and Altec used these, because they sounded best. You will need to look for an individual near where you live because they will have to test the drivers as...

[quote user="Markus"]Hi Romy,
in another thread you recommended the JBL LE8 as a good driver for the 200-1,000 Hz region. Any specific version of that driver? It has been produced in different variants over a rather long time.[/quote]
Markus, I do ...

Paul you are correct about romy's room, my comment was not based for his use in his room. My room at that time was 10X16, and used about 109 db max for that space playing jazz and or classical. In my space the hartleys drivers were the better of the ...

of MTM arrangement of two TAD 1201 in <100 Hz Horn ? I assume they would both work in the same frequency range . Also JBL LE8 is only 89 db driver and it doesn't look like it can take any power . Difference in efficiency within the channels would ...

Romy,I have seen this a few times with JBL and Altec drivers. This phenomena occurs more often in Alnico magnets than any other type of magnet. When a magnet is recharged, it is blasted with a very strong magnetic field. There is really no way to “ha...

Adrian, I had Edgarhorns that have evolved since I bought them in 2005. In my current set-up, nothing remains of the original Edgarhorns as conceived by Bruce, other than the speaker system remains front loaded horns. I noticed the same sense of he...

It looks like JBL Jumped into the beryllium wagon with their new DD66000. It is $60K it is sexy look but frankly speaking I do not see anything stimulating/interesting in them beside a nice industrial design.

"Best bass" is of course a matter of opinion based on experience and expectations. The (original) Hartsfield LF driver is certainly "designed for horn loading", like the Vitavox AK-151, whereas the AK-150 and the JBL D-130 are designed to be direct r...
