I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

[quote user="manisandher"]Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts - I really appreciate this.

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...

user="Jorge"]The biggest tower of bass drivers I have used was 4
tubes, dynamics was good but the difference I found against just 2 tubes in the
same room was not a lot. [/quote]I very much disagree with this assessment. The more bass

Stefano Bertoncello's posted at his blog a comment about Tony’s playback. I do not know him; I guess he is an Italian fellow or somewhere near Italy.

I think, we should change our view for High End.We (the customers, those who pay the bill) are always mad or frustrated about reviewers (Astor, Valin, and son on..) and this discussion was endless, is endless and won't c...

The greatest thing that happened to my Yamaha B2 amp was the fact that I got rid of my MiniMe ported bass section. The MiniMe is truly nice now and I operate in the highly desirable not annoying status. That all made me to pay more attention to w...

[quote user="speedysteve"]Well, I think
it is horses for courses and the tapped horns are a bit of a different

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If I were in your situation and have 2m long 100Hz horn that
I like then I would not dive into any 200Hz la-horns. Make your 200Hz horn up-to
let say 1000-1200Hz. Then take your 550Hz and run it from 1200Hz to 10.000 and

That is a fancy one, with vacuum caps as I can see it. I do
not know about the practicality of vacuum caps – they have own pluses and minuses.
Still, that is nice crossover, a bit more complicated then I initially thought I
has to be. It would be ...

I made today some interesting experiment and for the first time during my “fundamentals channel saga” I get some stimulating and very result. I find a way to mount the “low frequencied S2 driver” on the speaker’s axe way above the Macondo’s tweeter. ...

I keep receiving emails from visitors asking me about my views regarding the GM70 vs. 6C33C. I am clearly not in a position to provide any EXPERT opinion because of two reasons. First, I never had a properly built GM70 in my disposal. Second, I ...

[quote user="ulf"]One advantage of the use of a phase plug in a midbass horn is that it will beam less at higher frequenzies than a horn without phase plug. If the phase plug is designed for the specific horn and driver it will help "steer" the HF.

[quote user="darkmoebius"] That's because "off the shelf" amps can be easily resold for little or no loss of money if they are not to the buyer's liking. The Melquiades, on the other hand, leaves the builder with $3,000 worth of parts not easily reso...
