[quote user="zanon"]I know that because of your new mid bass horn, the speaker position is mostly fixed. So you move chair.
I am wondering -- to those of us who can move both chair and speaker, how do you go about getting system to play the ro...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not understand what does it mean. Are you saying
that you lost bottom response with closed exit hole on the driver back? If with
the closed drift from back you have a (loaded!) response no lower than 200Hz then it i...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I would think they might also compete with the mid-bass horns. The Auras can run up to 80, maybe 90Hz (you're probably going to say "60Hz max!!!"); would you really need to use the line arrays in the presence of a pair...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Jessie’s comments about my idea to position midbass straight horns from basement, upper- firing and his warning that the horn will get converted into a giant garbage can made me to think. I did not think about it but it is ...

Danvprod, I hope you understand that “proper four or five-way system” is some kind of Unicornnish type of animal and we could talk about it only abstractly. Still, since you have mentioned it – what and how are you trying to accomplish with your five...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Interesting the stressing the importance of the listening room Rakesh went into depth of discussing reference clocks and YL drivers that are very irrelevant to the subject of the rooms. The Rony’s comment about the expressi...

user="jeff1225"]Romy,When you say that the Vitavox 15" was the
best midbass you heard, was it in a Vitavox corner horn? I'm think about
acquiring or building a pair of Vitavox corner horns as I have a perfect room
for them. [/quote]

Similar to the famous sexist tail that women can be only ether pretty or smart the midbass horns unfortunately behave in the very same way: they can be only nicely placed in a room or they can sound good. You want the horn to place in a specific ...

Again, none of the pneumatic methods would work as any pneumatic leak air with time and it will be no access to it after the horns are installed and the walls are finished. Not mention that we have no high to play wit. We will be doing the follo...

I had today a long listening session. I listened a whole Mahler Second and I can tell you that I was the best upperbass I ever heard from a playback. I am not kidding. The upperbass literally despaired in the new room but what it is being called up...

Lately I have been thinking a lot, trying figure out what I

is still there and I have no motivation to change anything. The conceptualizing

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The midbass horns dodo fine attack of the short notes but they all delay with decay. If to make an amp that would shorten decay of the fast notes then it would be a phenomenal solution. [/quote]Your midbass horns have delay...

If there is one thing that I have learned in life, and heard many times, is that making a mistake is not a bad thing if you learn from it. In addition the lesson learned is just as valuable if you learned it from someone elses...

Anthony, it is a bit complicated subject. If you ever visit me and look at my attic you will be literally laughing. It is always initially designed with an idea to load there all possible outer installations. Pretend a good size listening r...

I purchased a pair of front loaded horns with JBL e120 12" drivers. They are crossed over at 200 and 800Hz 24/octave2 pictures here:http://picasaweb.google.com/noviygera/Midbass#dimensions are of the cabs are 28" wide-20" high and 24" deep.When I ho...

The short horns like with the Altec are horns, but being too short and generally with a truncated mouth, they do not eq very much in the “midbass”, rather an octave or two higher. In that case, you might as well use direct radiators. The reason for a...

While the aftermath of the midbass horn project is not over I am strategizing how I might implement Macondo’s LF section. The leading idea is to bolt a triangular shape sealed enclosure juts behind the small wall that cover the load bearing beam from...

romy, you said, you would place a 60hz midbass on the side, is this still your opinion? of, course i found no other solution in my small room. will do it the way you suggested, 60-300, 300-1000(thinking about gpa 288h(s2 is too expensive for me), may...

Somebody in this there warned me that the fiberglass pipe wall finishing that I employed on the wall with my midbass horn, behind my listening location might be environmentally not healthy. I have very high sensitivity to fiberglass and one singl...

I find an interring house that I like. Ironically it is very much not what I was looking audio-wise. It has a lot of real-estate lucidness and I feel it has a lot of very interesting audio opportunities. The listening room is small, 2 times small...

[quote user="Wojtek"]You mentioned it yourself that the most interesting midbass you ever heard was from corner horns. Why not utilize if you can a pair of K-horns (or clones) bass (midbass really) bins with sort of moveable fake corners? They can be...

Tubebuilder, I am not sure what you are trying to do. According to the “Romy’s Rules” (whatever it means) people do not build Midbass horns but they build an installation that might include the Mid Bass horns. You do not need to choose a project jus...
