[quote user="Wojtek"]I'd like to point out that Fostex 500 MKII is very much not sharp and artificial sounding. If anything it's an opposite -little too syrupy , soft and round so it blends with cone mid better than beryllium tweeter.[/quote]

[quote user="noviygera"]Number one, that I'd like to run by you guys due to it's simpler nature and closer to reality execution is the idea I have been thinking about. No first hand experience with any of this.Say we use something like altec 1505b mu...

Romy, the 160hz horn and 425hz horn both sit on top of the bass box, i.e the one is not above the other. Part of the smaller 42cm horn hangs over the front of the box so I'd say the top 30cm of it is above the top of the box and is obscuring the 160h...

well, i believe that the popularity of the better fostex tweeters comes from their typical, off-shelf sound which is soft and easy on ear in comparison with super-resolunt Ti or Be diaphragm equipped competition. they very much suit any sharpness com...

Hi Stefano,why don't you kindly invite Mr. Be Yamamura to join this forum? Anyway, I want to add another simple question to the list: Did he tried another channel's arrangement (for example tweeter positioned below midrange channel or some other conf...

We have two models with different upper bass horns, one is indeed a 140hz horn (77 cm diameter) and the original, bigger horn at 110 hz (92 cm diameter) Both tactrix both made from the same materials (MDF) and finished in the same automotive finish.T...

[quote user="noviygera"]There seems to be a lack of useful feedback on the actual sound quality of these oddball, relatively rare TAD mids. So I think it would be helpful to share some basic observations I gather after listening to them for a couple ...

[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 been searching for a good discussion on this subject for a while an yet to come across anything that really explained this: What are the causes/factors of compressed sound? I know it when I hear it, and have heard this phenomenon attributed to...

I ordered full set of Purist audio neptune series , midrange is far better than other cables.I love the tone. Jim told us the closest sound to previous dominus (before year 2001) sound is neptune series.Purist Audio Factory Tourhttp://www.euphonia-a...

Romy, I understand you are saying that a midrange horn rated flat to 300HZ should really be crossed at 600 or 1200 HZ. That claim doesn't make sense to me, esp. with a 24 db or higher crossover (active). Unless you are saying that hor...

[quote user="haralanov"] The horns, even the fast opening ones are physically too deep for their mouth’s size, and this leads to a psychoacoustic illusion that the sound images are arrested at the bottom of the horn and from there they scream they wa...

It remains hidden better.
Bass only completes the midrange without calling attention to itself.
It adds color and overtones better to the midrange, and when it is called for…
It appears faster, and more drastically than the other xovers.
To be ho...

[quote user="Rewind"] I kind of got stuck in selecting an upper midrange driver, above 2kHz. If a driver is going to screech in your ears it is going to be in these frequencies. I was never really satisfied with the range of 1" compression driver...

Paul,
I have been working with trumpets since 1966 and horn speakers since 1975. I have built both and am pretty familiar with what they are, the similarities and the differences.If I had to pick THE major sin when thinking about all of the horns th...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

I was slowly looking for a compression driver that would go in my Fundamental Chanel down to 200Hz. The YL Acoustic 550N attracted my attention. Then I realized that it is the narrow throat type of the drivers, aka WE555, not exactly that I would...

I got my pair of F120A by-the-book bookshelves a few weeks ago and yes, in the beginning they were very much "compressed" sounding. Things improved a bit over time, but the low treble (which gives instruments their "color") is still recessed. So I ...

I want to share what I feel is a good application of an injection channel, as introduced by Romy. But this is different and also useful and i can tell you it works and very well. Of course, I do not recommend to use this application in the same exact...

I've had a long-time desire to replace my Edgar 80hz midbass shells with a better performing solution. My Edgarhorns arrived in 2005, and I made incremental improvements over the years until now they have little in common with the original Edgarhorn...

and this is the huge decision.. although Steve and Rich's drivers do have the potential for extremely wide bandwidth, I feel that the first decision when designing a horn speaker is to decide how many horns and the corresponding crossover points...
