[quote user="haralanov"] Romy, the actual sound benefit of this 4-channel upper bass configuration, is rather in the type of sound presentation. The commonly used single upper bass horn (or direct radiator) sitting under the midrange horn, gives the ...

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="Romy the Cat"]I still feel that a complementary upper bass channel is begging to be used in this system. [/quote]Yes, Romy, the upperbass channel is absolute mandatory. My comments were only about the particular driver, nothing more than...

The room is beautiful, and I love the tree stump "rack" with the amps, it is clearly a work in progress, but they already put in the "Western Electric" badges on! It talks a lot about their priorities I guess!They have what seems to be a midrange ...

[quote user="haralanov"] So the tweeter is always needed. The bad thing is it deforms (in 99,9999999999999999999% of the cases) the perfectly round audio window, formed by the midrange channel and "pull" some notes sometimes at its axis. These are of...

I think we have been using the wrong analogy here, trying to compare sound to painting in the sense that it is not about adding things to sound as much as taking off.I believe the right analogy would be sculpting: In order to get a good sound, one ...

I certainly would not listen to much on the radio if I didn't have my Macintosh MR 67 tuner. I might listen to snippets just to see whether I might like a particular recording but extended listening through the computer etc would be very fatiguing. A...

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...

I have been intrigued by the Altec or similar Multicellular horns for a while. At least, in the midrange application of 500hz - 5K they look very interesting. I doubt of their high frequency capabilities but for midrange duty with a suitable 2" drive...

I lately look at the noise created around the Shelter cartridges and I wonder what is going on. Shelter was doing wonderful cartridges, more or less responsibly priced and people use it for years. Bunch of the typical industry scams in past did their...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Drdna, generally I would not agree that your assessment of the EdgarHorns is correct. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in them that would prevent them to "disappear" in the room. [/quote]Well, this is good news.&nbs...

The weak bass of low-power SET amps is well known. I don't think anyone would disagree.Some reasons:Simple low power, especially with 93db speakers (try with 106db like Yorkville LS1208 horn subwoofer it might be different).SE output transformers hav...

Although Levinson appears to have missed the boat with respect to musical content, he did show what can be done with Sound, per se. I still use his demos as a sort of mental yardstick with respect to the quality of the sound he did "reproduce".With ...

Thanks for your quick reply. I have been to assistance audio`s website, however was unable to find such model, but is possible they just disassembled the tweeter or whatever.This is really interesting news, about their violin reproduction, me too wou...

I stopped by yestoday ay NY show for a couple hours. Somewhere in there SRA’s Kevin Tellekamp fished me and told me that he wants to show me something very interesting. He brought me into a room where Hørning loudspeakers were demonstrating. (http://...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
A moron would ask - is the best tweeter that I heard? I clearly have no idea and do not view the things in this way. A tweeter is not a self-contained element but it is an organic ingredient of the rest of installation.Rg...

It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They already had splurged for...

[quote user="Vasyachkin"]has anybody tried a horn speaker with a dipole bass section ?[/quote]Well, I must say that I have tried dipole bass in a few configurations, including dipole bass plus horn, however I think this is completely immaterial to th...

Merry Christmas!Nice woodworking job on your speakers.I have a couple if questions:Why did you select the drivers that you did?What made you select one horn for the midrange but for nothing else?What process did you use to select the crossover points...

I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may be worth investigati...

[quote user="haralanov"] Let pretend you have (at least hypothetically) really excellent (satisfying your reference points) single UB channel. Then how are you going to achieve the coaxial effect one gets with 4 allocated in space channels? It will b...

While I am waiting for the attenuators I worked on the frame and changed it to a metal frame.It is sturdy and height of the channels can be adjusted in both axis.Romy, may I learn what your crossover points for your channels?My midrange channel is be...

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 ...
