[quote user="Joe Roberts"]In accordance with my deeply felt philosophy that one should do with audio whatever makes one happy, I certainly recognize and defend your right to think and do what you please.[/quote] So what is the difference between the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Any LF acoustic system has two SPL levels: the SPL of pressure and the SPL of tone.[/quote]Ahhh! Very good Romy. I don't recall you talking about Pressure and Tone SPL before. The tapped horn can be designed any 3 ways....

Take your hands and form a cup over your mouth with a small exit hole and listen to the stock M4 sound.
Not pleasant, very nasal, but amplified some decibel DB's, do you disagree?

In nature, the SOUND always propagates "outwardly expanding", so to the ear, this is a natural thing.
Any containment is like a muffler on a car, constraining, restricting, resonating, chocking, forbidding, etc....
These are good tools to ...

[quote user="cv"]Yet, I don't think the "safety" aspect may be neglected; I suspect he feels more comfortable with coils running at low voltage than (what I guess was) 200-400V or so. [/quote]Yes, you are right. But it must not be at the expense of t...

[quote user="moreart"]oh yes, show me ![/quote]Just an example:I can show you at least 20 other backloaded horns with different drivers which I have heard here in Bulgaria.Moreart, your main problem is the quality of the drivers you use. All those fo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] To my huge surprise and pleasure my midbass horn has absolutely no honk. I heard bass honk in ANY, even the best midbass horns that I heard (BTW, some honk does not bothers me and I even consider it desirable). [/quote] T...

I would say that this is probably related to the human emphasis on horizontal differentiation.Much of what we see is influenced by our evolutionary skills of pattern recognition.
If you take a photograph of your mother and reverse/flip it in the hor...

It will give an interpretation of the things you throw at it, the rest is done by our brains. Your brain (and your current mood = current emotional status of your brain) will take you to real music. It works like this:Ths s whr tr hgh nd bgns, Th sys...

user="rowuk"]I maintain that audiophoolery tries to convince us that
there are hardware solutions for sound quality. I disagree. Hardware solutions
only feed our egos.[/quote] This is very complicated question,

Paul, for the start just the plain Dannoy + B2 with no sound shaping. IIRC, Bill finally went back to Tannoy x-over using DSP only to cross to the woofer.
The listening space is small so I recon 90dB will be more than enough even if I like lis...

Well, maybe a little cussing first to set the tone. The older SPU's are now well sought after, many will end up in collections at now over inflated prices probably in the Far-East where they are worshipped. I've heard a few older SPU's and even those...

The more I think about reproduced sound the more disassociated I find myself with the mainstream audio people. Really, I do not share may of their objective and what in mass audio hysteria is considered essential and prominent does not impress me, fu...

Floobydust, I do not have a lot of experience with listening the 45 of internal construction. I bought a dozen of so 45, all different brands and I will slowly listen them. However, I do not necessarily looking for better tubes but I rather am lookin...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy,I looked at your Melq schematic : http://www.goodsoundclub.com/PDF/Melquiades_SET.pdf regarding the 6E5P bias. Would it be simpler to use two alkaline battery in place of R5 to provide 3V , or 3 Rechargeable for 3.6V ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The “expedited” sound
shorten a bit the decay time/volume and makes transients more prevailing. This
is what very commonly audio people feel as “quality” but I degree with it.
[/quote]Romy, in my previous response I ...

Hm you are true in the “terra incognita” territory as far as I concern. The preamps are mystery to me. All my attempts to make any decently sounding preamp or even buffer failed. To me Placette was truly God sent and if I got burned that I am looking...

Hi Angelo,Thanks for the kind words about our website.Hmmmm... it is really difficult to make the sound of the Avalon speakers have no depth or imaging (I presume you are referring to the Opus or Eidolon? Their small Symbol speakers do indeed sound a...

The only reason I have brought this up is because it is interesting to me when someone with experience, manufacturing capabilities and capital tries to make the best speakers he can, and I have heard and noted the best he can do over many years. And...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Funny I thought that that for MiniMe it would not be so critical but as soon I plugged the DEQ-2496 in MiniMe pass I have heard that depersonalized DEQ sound.[/quote]It is funny how some people seem to not hear this at all ...

Floobydust, I very much disagree with you on it, not because I have an alternative view but because I have practical evidences that what you say is not sufficient definition of “good for sound electricity”. The lower THD is not adequate representatio...

el`Ol,it is quite fascinating how well you depicted (listening to WP 8!) what I heard, listening to some 5.xI.E. "some characteristic shining or radiance probably induced by the breakup of carbon-doped paper cones in combination with the anorganic-pa...

Without mentioning the reasons here are a few pointers: 1) There is no proper tone 2) Horizontal imaging is less refined then I would like it to be. 3) Sound is not wet enough. 4) At high volumes room can’t dissipate HF 5) S...

I think that thinking about the audio problems in terms of phase is perhaps logical but counter productive for the reasons you enumerate Paul. It is not the humane thinking... but room *loading* and the DPoLS placement philosophy are... feeling the m...

I wonder if the Super Electricity Days hide another side in themselves. Remind you that the Super Electricity Days in the magnitude of sound quality are way beyond of what any devises including the PP2000 are able to furnish. I might explain the OTHE...
