[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Could you clarify: Would you like to vent the rear chamber or increase its volume (or both)? This weekend I will try listening with the rear covers on the Lower-Mids slightly open... [/quote]
Good question. I do no...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I thought that the folks who are interesting where I am going with my Macondo should know that am still working with Vitavox S2[/quote]OK, I think now I’ve learned whatever I need to learn about this driver. In order to und...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Anyhow, it is interesting how the new 25 users that get those Studio 8M will use them. I wish something “new” would derive from all of it…[/quote]Speaking only for myself, I am planning to use the Fane 8M in a pair of 11...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] 1) Horn loaded drivers are narrow-bandwidth transducing system. The wider range a horn channel covers the more it conflicts with restrictions of own topology.
2) All channels shell have strictly parallel axis
3) ...

[quote user="Dominik"]You probably decline this option, because this horn is from plasctic ( You can take carbon horn also).Polish autotech make Iwata 300 for me. You Can order from them what You want.[/quote]
Yes, the Iwata horns are good as ...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]So how do you suppose the proper DPoLS can be located? With a system like Steve Schell and I are working with, everything weighs hundreds of pounds and to properly evaluate changes would take days, maybe even weeks f...

At recent Nord-West trade show Jeffrey Jackson, the guy who runs Experience Music site, demonstrated his new horn Installation. I know little about it and would like to make some comments about what is feel is obvious from the image.
It is 5-ways ...

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. ...
|
|
Well, I screw-in today the S2 with filed-coil into my horn. I decided to drive it with 2.4A. I used a regulated DC PS and did not employ my prepared for this tusk 4.2 Farad capacitor: the voltage is too high for my cap. The current gave me a ni...

1) If you decided to use the 12” JBL 2206H driver then I doubt that you might talk about 4” throat. A 12” driver with wide outer suspension might go with 7”-8” throat. The 6” might do, though it might be a stretch....

I got it!
I realty have got it this time and it is exactly what I was craving for and shooting for. I converted both channels for 18db/octave on tweeter and recalibrated the whole Macondo, in a slightly different manner...

|
I just posted yeastoday the post above and have got already a few emails asking about the “new” ways that I am planning to use S2. OK, let me to explain what is going on.
The default Vitavox S2 driver comes with thier default aluminum diaphragm with...

I made first set of test with one PP2000 vs. two PP2000 driving my enter playback. All grounds were lifted on the load side. The presence of second PP2000 did not made sound bright as before, the second PP2000 sits sufficiently far from the first...

[quote user="Paul S"] Well, it looks like you've somehow managed to just drop this "oops" box of yours in there and very neatly offset some main speaker small peaks and valleys, which is VERY interesting, if not the point... [/quote]

I have with bass not a problem but dilemma. I do not have problematic bass but I have a dilemma how to supplement my current bass with ULF without affecting my current bass. Adding ULF defuses my current bass, renders the bass phasing to be more ...

Playing with B-2 power amp I made an experiment and instead of loading to it the MiniMe Bass section I loaded the B-2 with Macondo’s bass arrays. I made add-hog attenuator and coil to EQ MiniMe MF with Macondo’s bass and gave some listening. It w...

I am very much do not like the current state of my mind about the single-stage Milq. Let me to explain….
In 2001-2002 I spend some time trying to assess the sonic influence of PS to sound. After making numerous tests and prototypes I concluded that ...

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...
|
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, I disconnected my MiniMe speakers and left only Macondo to care sound in the room. I was listing for the last week Macondo. There is no bass, just upperbass horn at the bottom and The Injection channel a full range....

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, doesn't Tim de P also use this cool Miller capacitance idea in his never-mentioned "high end" tubed corrector? Also, do I remember reading that he runs both channels through the two halves of the same twin-triod...

Listening my Macondo with new “Fundamental channel” I noted that my tweeter is not as effective as it use to be. The effect of “not-effectiveness” is very minor but at some recordings it is notable. My T350 still sorts the Vitavox S2’s top but it als...

We are closing our new house in 2 weeks and while packing
and preparing to move I am thinking about the configuration of my new playback installation.
I am debating with myself about going with sub 100Hz woofer tower as I
described above vs. intro...

OK, the driver in there, connected and my carpenter got his
check. The project is over and I did not even go to the attic – very nice. Now
I need to make it to sound right. It will be longer ceremony and probably will
take a couple weeks. I did co...

Romy, I re-read your comments a few times to better understand your feedback. I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is t...

[quote user="op.9"] I've no idea if the LP will be better. In my experience Mike Dutton really makes excellent transfers. I'd be fascinated though if you could do better... [/quote]
I do not a lot about Dutton label but when what I was searching for...

When many of your will experiment with building and listening your own horns and spend countless amount of time by sketching a configuration of your new horn assembly you then might come to an observation that Macondo Upperbass topology is very s...

A few months ago a reader of my site contacted me and informed about that he found a very interesting driver, that his is using and he is very excited about it. The driver is JBL 2490.

Jessie, I have moved your post to your 45Hz horns thread but then decided to keep it here as some of my comments would be about entire system not only about your midbass horn. Anyhow, there is nothing there to laugh and it is pleasant to see that som...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]So if I understand correctly, you are still using both elements of the Red, but have separated them, and now have the HF element as shown in the above photo, and the woofer is still in the large box (still sitting up on to...

OK, the preceding thread what I research the subject of Midbass Horns and Real Estate have finished with great success.
