In my current scenario I
have slightly under 11 feet between the MF driver diaphragms. The optimum listening
distance in my view somewhere between 8.5 and 10 feet with the acoustic center
line pointed to shoulders. This is my typical configuration...

To save people from researching the differences between Romy's and my systems, I'll note the principal differences here, ignoring our ongoing mid-bass projects, which will be different, but both are incomplete, so not yet in the picture.As concerns t...

After thinking about this for a while, I have had a thought that should be relatively easy for anyone motivated to explore and I would be interested to see what others on this forum observe from such experiments.Fundamentally I think the injection ch...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

Thanks for the kind words Romy. I am enjoying taking my time with this project and getting things just right. It sure helps when there is little development involved, just duplication more or less. Development may come later as I impose my exp...

Hi Romy. This is Jacky. My sincere apologize for the inappropriate behavior of my employee.Please give me a chance to explain myself: I registered and posted the first few comments as Djjjj on June, then left the account to the public relation depart...

[quote user="Blaukopf"] First, Romy describes his horns as spherical. Later he names them tractrix. Are some of the profiles of the spherical wave profile? [/quote]
Yes, they are spherical, wish means not rectangular. ...
|
|
Yep, indeed, it looks very nice. The 8 sections of bass line
array look visually slightly overweening but I think when you put the upper
bass horns in place it will visually balance the things out. I feel some sort
of envy to the way how you plan ...

Spent great time and with happy with result. Not the results
are so spectacularly good but the playback is back to be operational that I was
missing for a while.
Starting with films. The damn OPPO has not enough output for
my Milq. I decided to...

There are some questions that I am looking answers and I do
not have a firm position so far:
1)
How the quality of reverberation channels speakers
and their amplification impact sound or the depth of the psychoacoustic trickery.
2) ...

[quote user="Murataltuev"] 3. GOTO
SG-146LD in 46horn 50-400Hz
I've added 0,7m length to 2m horn, so now my
mid-bass horn has 4" throat and 1x1m mouth and 2.7m length. [/quote]
4" throat into 1x1m mouth…hmmm, you hardly
will be able t...

If there is one thing that I have learned in life, and heard many times, is that making a mistake is not a bad thing if you learn from it. In addition the lesson learned is just as valuable if you learned it from someone elses...

As we are looking for our new home I am slowly simmering in
my mind the ideas about new midbass horns. It is not that I am short for ideas
but I am not sure that I will take my family on a bumpy and costly ride to build
new horns. One way or anoth...

[quote user="Paul
S"]Yes, insane amounts of money are wasted on "exotic" cabinet
materials and construction methods, for instance. And the misguided idea
of keeping it one narrow stack per channel does, literally, compromise the
sound, as does t...

[quote user="misnacat"] I'm not engaged to my Accuphase though I do care about it.I read your comment on the ASP antenna and went to their site. In their tuner section for alignment and repairs they have amoung other tuners a T100 featured I assu...

Unicon, the RESONANCE that you deal while you tightening to loosening screws does not deals with TIME . Perhaps it is the semantics that you feel comfortable but still I would live mass resonance to mass domain and would not confuse it.

user="Murataltuev"]I did some experiments today again with GOTO in my
existing horn and it is obvious for me that I need different horn for GOTO.

[quote
user="martinshorn"] What Klaus also highlighted, is the importance to
him to unlimit dynamics - in order to achieve the most live-alike sound. First
of all, he noticed that Goto pleases him the most with uncompressed transient
attacks more...

Hi Romy:
I am trying to build up a good audio system on a budget and have enjoyed reading about your philosophical approach to music and music reproduction.
I will not waste time with "what to buy" equipment recommendations in magazines or th...

Yesterday a guy come me from Atlanta to “see” my new installation. I kind of explained that I am not in “demo mode” now but he still came to “see it”. I have no idea what he wanted to “see” and I was kind of obligated to play something to him. I...
|

…but there are a few considerations that I would like to stress.
1) The ULF pressurization must not impact auditable sound in any negative way. If it does then all bets are off and ULF better do not be used.
2) The ULF pressurization ...

Yes, Jessie, this is the direction that I am contemplating - to put up a vertical poll to support the attic main beam and to cut the 4-5 diagonal lowering beams that lead to my working triangular wall. Also the residue of the attic roof under th...

[quote user="scooter"]Sorry about that. Vince has good days and bad days; sometimes he just does not get it and you did correct by running out. Given his background in 80s solid state amps and your interesting piece of gear I thought he would have ...

Yesterday I have a great listening time. I sent Amy with twins
to her parents. I put Thomas to sleep in his room and as he woke up I set him
to watch his Caillou for hours and I went to my listening room to have nice quality
time with my playback....

Hi Romy,Well, this is my (and my dad's) first horn system so we're learning/building one step at a time. Our motivation is simple, to use horns as low as possible.The very first DIY configuration was:TAD ET-703TAD 4002GOTO 505TTTAD 1603 Woo...

I'm following with interest the thread and must say that I'm baffled: Goto's "instructions" are - SIMPLY said - a mix between non-existent and wrong... I love what Goto's did in my system... BUT I think I did more with "my own" care, "my own" taste, ...

[quote user="T3GGG"]Romy, what is your thought on using a Tractrix flare on a Midbass horn, Fc 140HZ then maybe a Le Cleah horn above, say 400hz. To me this looks on paper to be the best of both worlds and avoids the 1metre plus midbass Le Cleac'h ho...

Considering the conclusions of my recent experiences that I described in the following thread:

I would like to share some of my observation that the people who would go multi-way horns might fi...

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Is any
technical background behind the statement that 4" driver can't
operate in 300-1000Hz because resonance is too low ? [/quote]
Well, you need to define what does it mean “can't operate”? Anything can operate anywhere...
