Here is the rack that I put on the wall with all opera room equipment
to tin it from Thomas. I was not able to
pit in there PP3000 and it is at different location. Frankly the wall mount
tune out to be very convenient idea even without baby. ...

Sure, I am a total audio 'ho, and I'll take a musical fix when and where I find it. But I want to be sure no one thinks that I think this can really be done on the cheap. It would have been more honest (and more helpful) to say earlier that I am...

I have a very bad experience with the majority of the engineers of PA systems. According to my experience, their ideal sound is a kind of typical amplified and loud sound with some punchy upper bass and they have no experience with unamplified opera ...

Paul S:DSET is a very high power solution to a question that I only have a very primitive understanding of. It is not right for me at this time.I would prefer if the model etc. of my speakers not be involved in this discussion. I know I am committing...

Folks,A maker of Magnetics reading along has taken me privatly a little to task, it seems I was not clear enough with some of my statements, apologies.First, I seemingly stated that Amorphous material was "always iron", that was not my intention, amo...

Yes, all you said about the Fostex and heavy mouth MF seems reasonable. I don't know what's wrong, but I get the feeling that it's sort of hollow-sounding and could be much more loaded. I'll finish the horns completely before any final conclusions.In...

[quote user="Ronnie"]Also, some frequencies are very much pronounced (alien sounds), easiest to hear with opera singers.[/quote]Ronny, could you elaborate more on the “alien sounds”. You see, I disagree with John and do not believe that the “alien so...

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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I made the 543rd remodeling on the Opera room and move the video playback equipment to the new, I hope the last location. As I connected everything into PP2000 as it use to be (not PP2000+) but older not “Plus” version than...

[quote user="Serge"]Romy consider that the engineers who did your Altecs in their worst nightmare could not imagine their lovely cinema speakers would be used with solid state amplifier which badly distorts on LOW power levels. It has 100 crappy watt...

The 811b horn is an unfortunate junk; it has to be unconditionally trashed. I wrote years back at the Altec forum, at that time I did not know that all of them are idiots in there, that Altec use of this horn in Model 19 is disasters. The horn is hor...

I do not think that spell, grammar or anything else for that matter is important. I also do not feel that "music IQ" is necessary connected to appreciation of other finer things. This is what we all love to feel, when we consider ourselves to be “spe...

Jessie, you know I am not a horn guy. I played with horns for 5 years, and I have heard plenty of them, and so far none have worked for me, musically. But I have remained mindful of horns' potential, and I keep co...

I got last night an interesting collection of many dozens reel-to-reel tapes. They are recordings of 1975-79 seasons of Metropolitan Opera mostly with James Levine. All reels are in meant condition, in own plastic bags, scrupulously numbered, a...

I really do not know why there is so mach publicity and so much noise around Boston Symphony Hall as some kind of acoustic wonder of the world. I am unfortunately frequently in the Boston Symphony Hall and I do not like the sound of this Hall. It is ...

Guys, thanks. I do not really look forward for an advice what specific brand of model to buy. I am rather trying to conceptualize what functional elements I might need and what expectations I might have for each of them. Listening you and some other ...

I think you will only be able to decide about this after listening to some operas or other video-audio through the big system. The analog output of the video player may be good enough for the purpose, or it may sound terrible through the Milqs/Macon...

Stopped by at local audio friend this Sunday and watch some Brunner, Mahler and Wagner at his HT playback. He has integrated playback installation and video is played at his main system. I am not a fan of good quality of video playback and feel that...

I've been reading about the acoustic characteristics of the world's great symphony halls, like Boston and the Concertgebouw. Did you know that Sabine, Berenak, and Cyril Harris mathematically defined those characteristics, using metrics like RT-60, ...

Even if you wish to spend a few days in Paris, all you have to do is step onto the Eurostar and alight there a couple of hours later. As for baroque recitals, Oxford was a good place for those when I was there, and once more, not far from London. Do ...

OK, guys, let stop to bite my Master and Margarita hook: this thread is not about all of that but about electricity problems. I brought the Master only as an illustration of some ridicules regarding the PP noise. I spent today another hour, trying to...
