I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

I went to see what Speedysteve7 does. I did not read the text. I just glanced at the text and seen the mentioning of multisampling with digital amps, mentioning of digital crossover. All of it and the most important the rock-end-roll crap the he ...

I understand all disadvantages going digital.
I strongly believe that minimal influence to the signal is the most important aspect.
And influences in digital domain are usually terrible.
But I'm not sure what other options available....

[quote user="scooter"]1. Please take a look around this site for some intelligence on how detrimental digital room correction is and why. Romy and Paul are being excessively polite today regarding DSP, perhaps because the weather is nice. I'll be mor...

Ok, Andrew, this is allergy something. I would highly advise you in future before you post any discrete updates, questions, and ideas about what you to inform about the holistic objective of your project, sort of a view from 50.000 feet...

[quote user="mats"]Too late now for points, but just the other day I tried to imagine your plan. and I was pretty close.Actually, it is a bit like what I have going now; 15" Eminence bass guitarr woofers in a sealed 3 cu ft cabinet,Oris 150 with...

Inspired in part by Romy's results and excitement with FM, I wanted to try.

Finished, and very impressed with the output of this small tapped horn.
Running simple RCA piggy backs from valve amp output to plate amp, which is Digitech (JayCar), 100-watt. simple enough, nothing fancy. Would like to integrate the ...

I think we have to subdivide bass into upper bass from 100hz to whatever your midrange does and bass under 100hz and then maybe infrabass.
Front loaded upper bass horns are fantastic and I would say if you never heard one, you really nev...

[quote user="cv"]On the matter of the DHT having a plate resistance of 500-700... you do realise that running the 6E5p with an unbypassed cathode resistor is giving you an effective Rp of about 12k, right? The formula is, IIRC, Rp + (mu+1)Rk.[/qu...

I would like to share my 5-way horn project.
The idea was to have full range system, so the first horn built was Tapped Horn.
I got design from Volvotreter.de and was really impressed with performance of this monster.

Hi Romy,
Sunfire? No! Who would add a Sunfire to this system? The black box in the pictures a power amplifier for the midbass horn.
A second MF could be interesting. I will see if we can do some test set up of this. Per has the space for it...

Maybe, some people would be interested in what I am doing with my system. I have been continuously listening and sparsely making changes and letting them sink in. For now, I feel more settled and think the biggest obstacle for me in reaching the ...

Thank you, Romy, for input.
I'm still following my initial concept:
Bottom horn is finally ready and I like the sound with 12" Supravox in it. Moreover, I don't feel the need for Tapped Horn...
