BTW, let me to expand a littlie on my last comment. I always personally with some suspicion and difficulty “get” what German high-end audio does. They frequently target some very “bicepsy” sound but they kid of very libe...

Well romy will probably disagree or maybe find it off topic but I am sorry there is huge margins built in somewhere if someone is trying to sell me wood cabinets with TAD drivers for 140k $. One of you guys can add it up for me and tell m...

Hi Romy,
Since you have certain opinions on TAD/Beryllium sound, Im curious:
1) Which TAD drivers you evaluated (2001, 2002, 4001, 4002, 4003) ?
2) With what Fc horns?
3) With what horn materials?
4) With what Xovers?
Thanks!

Very nice, Keith, thanks. The most interesting would be to access the “Absolute Tone” capacity of the Gamma. Frankly I feel that with TADs it should not be very too advanced as they are at BMS/TOA domain, only with a little TAD syntactic twist. Even ...

I remember I had an Asian girlfriend who was viciously trying to convince me that I was the best man in the world. She was 23 and I, listening her, was experiencing the incredible boredom...
Anyhow, Keith, although I am not a big fun of Alpha-type o...

[quote user="Markus"]There's no plasma tweeter on the Cessaro. The tweeter is the TAD ET-703. The HK owner has a gold-coloured horn for the tweeter, but there's no plasma driver. I'm pretty sure the horn on the Lansche plasma tweeter is a good bit la...

[quote user="Markus"]Very interesting discussion. I have taken a close look at Marco's horns and am thinking about using them in a horn installation. I plan to use the TAD 4003 from, say, 1 to 8 kHz, and a tweeter above that.
I would love to use ho...

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...

Romy I have not herd so much doulble talk in a long time. Some of the best sounding drivers on the market in the last 60 years, were for sound reinforcement. I do believe, in a 2 way speaker system crossed over at 800hz with a good wood horn i wil...

Romy,,I agree with most of what you say....But good audio engineering comes in small tiny increments,,when JBL introdiced the coherent phase plug..I said so what?? then the moved the position of the magnet,,I said so what??But they were getting ready...

Either my ears have gone bad or I must be the luckiest user of pure power regenerators. Have been using three for four months now and am still bowled over the improvement in my system. No matter what time of day I listen it sounds superb, but I do no...

Hello Romy and everyone, I am going to order a pair of 400Hz/1" tractrix horns from http://www.stereo-lab.de/tractrix.html to replace/compare with a pair of 500Hz TAD-like square mouth horns. These are to be used initially with the drivers that ...

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 ...

Cessaro once again didn't manage to find electronics that compensate the cold TAD sound, so the Silbaton WE demonstration one or two rooms away was quite a contrast. Without being addicted to that kind of sound and without having too much listening e...
|
|
It is good that Cessaro come up with own driver. I wish they come with own driver a few years back. Use TADs for year and did not express criticisms to many TAD qualities was kind of “blind” and a bit devaluate the entire statement that they were try...

|
I believe you use the laser to find out at what frequencies there are resonances and where they are at so youcan make the phase plug accordingly but like I said I know about as much as those lasers as I saw in the Tad brochure. A machinist told me on...

IN THE NEW DIAPHRAMS,,,LOW MASS HIGH STRENGTH AND HOW THE PHASE PLUG IS DESIGNED HAS A CORRILATION OF WIDER BANDWIDTH AND LOWER DISTORTION...BUT JBL ADDED ONE MORE DESIGN TO THE EQUASION,,,THAT WAS TO REDESIGN THE DIAMOND PATTERN OUTER SURROUND FOR S...

This is something I have been at for the last few years, I have tried a few drivers, at the moment some of my favorite are the vintage RCA MI 1443, yes filed coil and some funny cone diaphragm, they are used from 500 hz to 5 khz with a Fostex T...

Kris, I agree with you about the unobtainable 300Hz.Had really hoped for that, but so far no go with my set up:An old Oris-150 with a 4" throat wood adapter/cradle that John Sheerin made for me,with the 2482 playing out the back, so you see the entir...

thanks for the good infoactually we are developing a full horn-loaded speaker the bass-bin is just inspired by Klipsch La Scala (just like Volti speaker) with curved sides. the mid-range consists of TAD 4001/Beryllium in Edgar wooden Tractrix horn an...

Hello AnthonyDo not worry too much about how high the system ends up or how high the highest horn is positioned. If you are far enough (I am 470cm away from my drivers) and align them properly, the sound is right in front of you. Actually my system i...
|
|
I don't think you can align the tapped horn. My tapped horn has a total length around 5 metres. To time align that with my other drivers, its got to be around 5 metres closer than others. The only other solution is delaying the rest of the channels.....

Hi Murataltuev,I have two horn based systems but the system that is similar to yours or Romy's is the one I am currently building. The drivers and horns are as follows.38hz - 160hz - Tad 1601b - Bass Array (4)160hz - 600hz - Supravox 285-2000 hornfab...

Hi Kodomo-You have made an ambitious undertaking. Congratulations to a brave decision.Can you please elaborate a little on your TAD implementation. I have used one on each side ,in 3 cuft sealed cabinets, first order from 60 to 150Hz, blending gent...

Thanks for posting the Vandersteen interview.It inspired me to try once more to tame my TAD 1601sthat reside in sealed 3cuft boxes. It worked, but the numbersare slightly shocking. 12mH translates to 100Hz, and 25 uFon 4 Ohm Altec 290’s in 260 Hz hor...

I am actually doing the bass and ULF with different modules and amps. My bass modules are the dual tad boxes driven with their dedicated monoblock solid state amplification. The tapped horn is working for ULF only as it is crossed at 30hz with 18db. ...

Hi everyone,Ive been tracking this exciting conversation for some days. One from outside may think this is weird, we are making a lot of air about some sound-description without getting to the point. Im (or was) normally more rational. And if I read ...

I am new to this interesting site, and am hopeful of getting some assistance with a project. I have purchased a set of TAD 1201 mid-bass drivers to begin a 4-way active system for critical home listening. (in a dedicated room, 21' x 25' w...

JBL 2441 also seems interesting candidate, perhaps "smoother" than 2440:Duke LeJeune of Audiokinesis recommends them as a "poor man`s TAD"Beyma CP755ND/AL 1.4"http://profesional.beyma.com/ENGLISH/pdf/descarga.php?pdf=CP755NdAL.pdfSome interesting alu...

[quote user="Merlin"]Well firstly on those, the tweeter is not offset to one side - it appears to be time aligned directly behind the midrange horn and upper bass unit. Secondly, that's a JBL 2405.[/quote]I do not know which driver the Living Voce us...
