[quote user="Merlin"]Well firstly on those, the tweeter is not offset to one side - it appears to be time aligned directly behind the midrange horn and upper bass unit. Secondly, that's a JBL 2405.[/quote]I do not know which driver the Living Voce us...

I am new to this interesting site, and am hopeful of getting some assistance with a project. I have purchased a set of TAD 1201 mid-bass drivers to begin a 4-way active system for critical home listening. (in a dedicated room, 21' x 25' w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Do not worry, you won’t be happy with your new speakers
as well. It is a little dirty secret that no one told you yet: speakers do not
give happiness. [/quote]In my case only speakers can give me happiness, because with e...

There is a very scarce effect in nature I will try to explain, a sort of sense explosion. One of this happens sometimes in food tasting.
When you have a very tasty, very good cheese and you take a couple of bites and it grabs your tongue and i...

[quote user="AOK_Farmer"] Here's what I've been trying. 8 ohm 4.5 inch full range Omega driver in a 0.35 cu ft sealed box and 6 mH coil 200 Hz electrical crossover. The main speaker is JBL Array 1000. This full range driver has my favorite *tone* of ...

Romy:Thank you for your response. You are correct that the vision is not completely developed for this 4 way. A bit more info is needed. I've had some experience with JBL woofers, but am relying heavily on the results achieved...

The horns that Stereo Lab make are very good, especially considering the relatively modest prices. I bought the "Ultra-Fi" version of the 140Hz horns and they are of course not completely free of resonance - JLH's and Romy's massive horns are cer...

Looking at the pictures again, I believe the builder's had the woofer's mounted on both stages of this horn at one time for testing, and thought it was better with 2 piece horns. This has got me so i want to do some tests to see what the advanages ar...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]audiofilofine, you need to form a question in a format that would indicate you do the your do some homework. To bulb or even to design 20Hz horn is complex task and it usually made to the specifics of the given circumstance...

[quote user="mats"]My humble guess is that the titanium diaphragm won't ever give you the feeling you seek.JBL 2482 with its phenolic diaphragm may not be the quickest or most detailed, but has a truly wonderful tone that I never tire of.[/quote]I ha...

I never heard Everests and I hardly feel that I ever will hear them in a reasonable installation as the people who would use Everests most likely will be the people of “different type”. Still, I wonder if the Everests are the JBL’s 21st century glori...

Jorge,
You're quite welcome to visit any time you are in the SF Bay Area.
There's a photo attached to this post of my Blokhorn system ( modified Edgarhorn System 80 ).

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

hi. That’s a nice topic. I studied the VO like a maniac. For me there are 3 topics. First was obvious, easy, the horns. The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flav...

Oops, I almost forgot the size of 14”. This is kind of off the wall size but still there was two exceptional drivers in this size that I met.
The first is JBL 1400ND. The 1400ND was initially used in JBL K2 system. It had underhung voice coil, neody...

When you say it was not very high end...but that you found the sound very good....doesn't that mean you should redefine the term high end?
Also. Why can't the purchase of a $20k speaker in itself not be regarded as audio ambition?
Regards.

[quote user="Jorge"]One more thing about the JBL 375, I did play around with them enough, I aligned the diaphragms several times untill they sounded their best and were very listenable, This was some time ago now, I didnt turn my horns then, so I tr...

ah forgot. Have some measures to give you an idea. First, this is an (what i use as good budget replacement for the TAD2002 tweeter) a JBL LE85/ 2420 in that trumpet. Green is a „normal“ horn response for comparison. Red is the JBL 2312 trumpet: [url...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]audiofilofine, you need to examine your room and your entire domestic environment in order to see where and how you might make your pair of bass horns. Also, if they will be 20Hz horn then are you planning to use next chela...

So, I guess you do not measure flux if are getting. You might measure sensitivity and we might presume what when perm magnets has the same sensitivity as electromagnets then the drivers have the same magnetic flux density. Let also presume that when ...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]The price is 167,000 Euro I was told. The material they used for bass cabinet at least looked like MDF. Sound was much better than any speaker I've heard in show, expect Cessaro which was wonderful. BTW Marten, Kharma, Focal, Ma...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]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 "System Update 9/29/10"), Pham has...

Paul,The two channel system is separate from the HT system - the gigantic plywood folded horn subwoofers support the screen but that's the only connection to the HT audio system.The HT system is three Orb Audio 8" powered subwoofers, 3 x Gallo Ref. S...

Kerry, from what you have said so far, I am not surprised that you have gone whole-hog digital. I see that yours is an HT system. The first thing anyone here would say is, physically time-align your HF, although I suppose you "could" do that with DEQ...
