R,Please excuse me if this is straying from the subject... feel free to move.Anyway, I was in NYC until Wednesday evening, and I assume I know what is motivating you to abandon Macondo/Melquiades in the hot summer months... what I don't understand is...

I have finished both big horns enough to listen in stereo, and the throats are now much smoother.I'm not using the MF horns, and have been listening all night. It has been a remarkable experience! (well, the inner-me objects and claims there's nothin...

hello kids, a few weeks ago i started my hunt for a pair of speakers....i've been attached to my big system with a pair of headphones for the past year and feel its time to get some speakers to listen to music with (plus, i think my ears are now...

[quote user="Chirag"] Hey, what kind of crossovering is the DimAmp seeing? Are you sticking to 1st order slopes even with the nasty breakups higher up in the 21W carbon woofer? [/quote]Sure, my 21W has no “nasty breakups higher up”, well it per...

hmm..well.. duelunds.. they ARE mortgage lifters! i think i'd be more likely to hunt down old vitamin q's for a few months while settling though... i did try solens-- and while they were a revelation by comparison to absurdly overrated voltage...

No idea how one blends in a random passive radiator, and I gave up on it after a year or two, many years ago. But if you can put your ear to the passive radiator and hear it plays up into the midrange, then you will probably want to use something wit...

Actually, the M2-12 turned out to be a good arm. It really does Sound very good. I used it with Denon 103M and 103D. It has very “interesting” midrange in a way more interesting then SME3012 but not as dry as the SMEV. I detected just 3 limitations: ...

[quote user="drdna"]It is funny since they are identical digitally recorded tracks you would think they are the same. I would very much be interested to know if the binary code is identical or not for the two tracks. [/quote]Drdna,Do not even s...

Hello,I just logged myself in so first of all: Hi Everybody ;)Few days ago I aquired a pair of very interesting 3way horn speakers which seem, as I imagine, to ba an ambitious DIY project from the past. These are basically the Altec Vott A7 replicas ...

Romy,To clear up a few things about the Kilimanjaro RCA1428 clones.The B&C DCM50 is a modern, neodymium clone/copy of the RCA MI-1428B. It was designed and built by B&C in Italy after Bill Woods of AHhorns talked the CEO into it. The DCM50 is...

Hello Dan,Love how you pass that cable through the port, I used to do that too...long time ago.Why are you crossing your 250hz horn all the way up to 1 khz?The 2445 should be able to go much lower. Have you measured the response you are getting from...

Morning Mr. Natural Brian - be careful - you never know who's watching ... "Why, wasn't stock *H*I*F*I* enough for him? "You're getting the wrong idea about this . Anyway , it's not ruby , more sapphire, but I agree they're similar . ...

I was tipped off to a dac over at the proaudio forum Gearslutz. It is usually difficult to gauge those users references as most are responsible for many of the bad habits in audio record engineering. One user who I seem to agree philosophically with ...

Which are huge, they not even sound as the same orchestra into the same venue. I don't know if my computer rig, which I must use to play the 24/88 files, using a pair of SL600 into a very small room, would qualify themselves as a whole injection chan...

Good luck getting midrange from F120A for non annoying monitors. Seems reasonable to expect, many people have been very happy with these drivers... I haven't tried this specific driver, but have spent some time trying to get a simila...

The speakers i've got are JBL studio monitors using a 2420 (118dbwm 16O) on top and a 2231 (93dbwm, 8O) on the bottom, which already accomodate bi amping, though like i mentioned a midrange driver would probably be a good idea and so a six way amp wo...

Thanks, Romy. I did notice that there is more "apparent volume" at the same gain setting on the pre, and harmonics certainly come into better perspective. Also, the image opens up more vertically, which is a nice effect. I could alw...

I'm sorry to read that. It could be possible that it's a transparent HP amp if using high impedance phones like HD600, but then it'd be of no use to me, since the phones I'm liking more lately, which I'd like to know how far can go with some fine-tun...

Another K&K user contacted me recently, and he subsequently sent me new MOSFETS to swap with those I had in my unit. Original MOSFETs were Supertex DN2540. New MOSFETs are IXSYS 1N100D.The only reason I swapped these was out of curiosity. The ...

I no doubt fall into the category of the 70%. My playback has not been as satisfying as I would like. Many of us do not know where to turn when we hit a brick wall with extracting the best results. The default reaction is to look for a piece of equ...

I am of course guessing, as to how you got the sound the way you describe it. This "off-set" might be pleasantly less then what I had in mind. It initially reminded me of an effect by having no impedance correction (Zobel) in a midrange driver, and o...

Hi Romy,Interesting test you have conducted. Were the responses mostly unflat near the frequency extremes or was there variations even in the midrange? The reason I ask is because if you look at most of the published curve responses it is...

[quote user="drdna"]Looking again at the EdgarHorns, the placement in the room seems nearly optimal and they are now properly time aligned. Looking at the phase of the individual drivers and listening to each of them individually revealed that ...

I'm curious about how you set up your horns in the room.From photos it looks as if they are fairly close together, compared to the wide setting you suggested I try, while our room dimensions are fairly similar?When I started pushing the horns apart a...

I recieved and accepted an invitation to hear an earlier version of the Cogent speakers, and I was subsequently asked for a considered opinion of the sound. I guess the designers had read from my posts various criticisms of horns in genera...

[quote user="i_should_coco"]I don't think Steve "bought into" the conical propaganda, more that it is easier for him to make conical horns and get a system up and running. So this is by no means finished. We have discussed him trying some different p...
