Cat:First off, the Silbatone Aporia is $30k/pr not 100k. You could do 6 speaker surround with Aporia for well under $100k. Hope you feel better now."So what," I say. $30k is already too much for my pocket. I am on a fellowship this year and cheapskat...

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 ...

Hi Romy,It seems that the idea of tone is not only lost to most speaker designers but to most electronics engineers as well. When you hear the excrement most designers call an amplifier you would swear that they have never not even once heard a real ...

[quote user="haralanov"]Actually I see the biggest benefit (besides the huge sound body) in the fact that such a configuration allows very precise adjustment of the way how the harmonics of each UB channels touch the midrange, by simply dealing with...

This is left channel. Right channel is mirror image.I am using 6db active crossovers all around.The subs are pair of 18" Aurasound 1808 per side. The current midbass is the white color horn you see. It is Funktion One DS15. The issue with this one i...

Hello guys! I got an old Coral X-VIII from Japan. Its an Onken enclosure with a 400 Hz horn. And I want to give it a second life. The enclosure looks already like new. And the question is about the crossover. What would be the theoretical best points...

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...

Romy,
Funny stuff... especially the the AN piece. Equally surprised octopodes ? Brilliant !
As for the Bruce Edgar post ? Not as funny. And it's off base.
The Titan II system has a straight axis upper bass horn instead of a folded upper bas...

I would like to share my 5-way horn project.
The idea was to have full range system, so the first horn built was Tapped Horn.
I got design from Volvotreter.de and was really impressed with performance of this monster.

[quote user="drdna"] Now I have had the EdgarHorns in my system for a number of weeks and have been moving them around the room and moving things in the room around to make them sound their best. [/quote]
If you are not familiar with horns then it u...

[quote user="Wojtek"]I use regular Lowther DX4 (ENABLED) . I don't think the 250-400 is stellar and I'm still waiting for the extension to try small throat for lower midrange (2,75") (B&C 8P21E driver) for 200-1000Hz .[/quote]Look...

I have no experience with bass horns, but I suppose that any sound source into a given size room can excite its modes, hence a big bass horn or a line array of boxed woofers can be equally annoying in that regard. So if the idea of using horns is to ...

Romy,
Why preface my comments ? I've had the same system for 10 years basically. I do use digital crossovers but the 'Class D' NuForce amps are not digital at all. And the NuForce amps don't sound like stereotypical Class D amps, they are very quie...

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...

Romy,Your Macondo system is something that has been a "role model" for what I'd like my playback system to be in the coming years. And much of what I've learned about horn playback systems I've learned from reading your writing and other posts on thi...

Romy,Since you have had experience with this particular driver, I wondered about your opinion of the sound. In my system I have the Edgarhorn Titans which use the JBL 2441 as the midrange horn driver. While I am generally quite happy with...

"Hm, I dont
really know about this, I heard a GOTO system with the GOTO 505 in the
GOTO 150 Hz horn and I found it to go anemic in the lower range, I
think a FANE M8, that I heard briefly during some experiments, would do
better in this range wit...

>>Gera, are you catapulted from another planet? Are you sure that you want to drive a mid horn with Rowland amp?
Romy, some people that know me will say "yes", I am not sure... Of course no, not the Rowland to drive my horns, this is the amp ...

Ralph Di try all the usual suspects ,but he preferred the polymer, the midrange horn weighs 75kg , the profile is completey different tothe old 'flat fronted' birch ply horns, there will be new drivers next year,Keith....

Let's say we all have a midbass horn that plays down to 80Hz. I know some of us are special, so their midbass horn plays down to 40Hz. But still.What to do for the lower frequencies? Sealed or Infinite baffle (that's two good options). Now we need a ...

http://goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&postID=6011#6011The back chamber is very important...about half of the drivers energy goes back there so it needs to be strong if you don't want it to reson...

Does anyone have any experience with the Meyer X-10?I have heard this speaker a few times now - always under difficult conditions (dead studio control rooms - and with material with excessive reverb) - but I have heard just enough to make me think th...

Sure, Romy. The commercial product has both midrange and tweeter horns inside the mouth. My plan is to use the bass horn on it's own, as a dedicated bass channel. The plan appeals to me because there are no folds, among other reasons. The expansio...

If you have a huge 2 meter long horn and like what it does from 70hz to 300 hz that is a very difficult range and really simplifies (ja) the rest of your channels.
Having a horn to play from 300-400 hz is not a big problem or a big horn, a handful o...

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 ...

[quote user="haralanov"] Yes, but you are familiar with the compression driver and horns. How could somebody control the size of the audio window, formed by his midrange channel, using horns? If I remember correctly, you chose your Vitavox S2 driver ...

Hm, I like the Cessaro thinking a few years back and I love it now. A very good move with this “Liszt” loudspeakers, even I am against the idiotic tendency to grand to the audio element the composers names. Take a look what Cessaro did. A tweeter, p...

I had a look at the pic of your speaker just now - may I ask about the reasoning that went in to choosing a diffraction type horn?Also, your midrange looks like an open baffle type. What kind of back wave/diffraction management do you use? Kris...

I have seen Beyma rewrite their specs when they redo a driver and even add a letter to the driver for that change, even if it is the same driver.Now I have seen variable FS responses form different drivers of the same model also. I was joking with a...

Andrew,Dont buy all the drivers at once, I would get only the upper bass horn drivers and maybe the mid drivers, you will have to play around with these for a while before things start clicking toghether, by then who knows, maybe you will think t...
