[quote user="speedysteve"]Well, I think
it is horses for courses and the tapped horns are a bit of a different
gigi. I found it is imperative to suffocate the
rubbish that is coming out of tapped horns above say 100Hz - mine are sized to
work...

I’m new to this outstanding website and I found it has really educational value and antimoronizating information :)
I’m still in the world of direct radiators and I’m looking for the ultimate midbass channel solution. At this time it’s still impossi...

I've only had the pleasure of listening to 'professional' horns (whatever 'professional' really stands for)--horn normally used in concerts and small venues. (It was always so obvious to me--by listening--that the range of the horn-loaded 'bass...
|
|
[quote user="nl"] Within that horn-loaded range, the 210/515 type combo does reasonably well, and produces rather more inspirational midbass than most direct-radiator type strategies. There is a reason why these designs persisted for roughly forty ye...

Hello Romy, thanks for your guide.I've been thinking and I feel that some basic upper bass channel ideas are forming; they a result of, as you say ,"organic" derivation from the rest of my acoustic system. I am pretty excited about this idea i have. ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]That is my constant dilemma while
I socializing with audio people. Om a surface the question about T/S parameters for Goto is reasonable.
It means now I need to correlate whoever I know Goto user and the people who
know ...

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="Romy the Cat"]Here I share some thoughts about what you have shown. I will
share only critical and warning thoughts not because I have nothing but critiques.
All nessesary compliments for your planning come as a default and I do not

I've been thinking about trying the Klipsch Jubilee. The idea I have is to replace my bass channel (Aura 1808 in reflex box) together with midbass channel (Funktion One F115) with a single Klipsch Jubilee channel. Of course I'm talking about stereo p...

[quote user="be"] "another big selling point to me was the 505 being a low resonance compression driver.. there just aren't many drivers with a resonance in the 80 to 100 Hz range like this driver... I have just begun my playing, but am already quite...

Hi Roberts, Romy and others,Before this thread vanishes in undeserved obscurity, I have a question or two for you. I understand that the issue is a complex one and should be addressed with more care and paying attention to detail than I am do...

I stopped by yestoday ay NY show for a couple hours. Somewhere in there SRA’s Kevin Tellekamp fished me and told me that he wants to show me something very interesting. He brought me into a room where Hørning loudspeakers were demonstrating. (http://...

Jessie,
Perhaps if you search something in the throat jungle you might fish some interesting results. You see, optimizing the driver to throat transition you might get some HF out of upper bass driver. But besides getting more HF there is something ...

Hello Angelo,
Even though it may not be a good idea to use a phase plug in a straight Upper Bass horn, I did find the information educational, and just wanted to thank you for the link. Thanks also to Romy for his comments on the subject.

Last week I have written an article: “Upperbass preoccupation and Vitavox S2 driver” where I ran over some my thoughts how the specific sonic virtues of Vitavox S2 driver allow to get an “interesting” upper bass from an upper bass channel, even thoug...
|
|
I read the Owen’s observation and it strokes me that he was in a way correct: the Zarathustra does sound kind of strange and very much sonically it reminds a 150W 300B SET. It has some beauty, sweetness, liquidity and appeal at MF and in someway calm...
|

We enter a complicated region as the lower driver we go the drivers could be used for different purposes and it is very hard to generalize. A 10-incher might be MF driver and LF driver. In my past I experimented with few MF 10-inchers, including some...

[quote user="haralanov"] I think you have found phenomenally good sounding upper bass driver and you are going to build a dedicated quasi-bassreflex channel using it to fill the gap between your line arrays and the upperbass horns... [/quote]

I've had a long-time desire to replace my Edgar 80hz midbass shells with a better performing solution. My Edgarhorns arrived in 2005, and I made incremental improvements over the years until now they have little in common with the original Edgarhorn...

Romy:I hope you go ahead with your project of installing the horns in your attic as you are probably the only person who might pull it off, but if my opinion was solicited, I think you would be very ill-advised to do so. Firstly, the costs involved a...

[quote user="Chirag"]Outside of the already constructed bass towers, is there a reason you are looking exclusively for 10" drivers? I have heard a pair of stacked 15" Lambda's on each side supplementing/providing bass to lower midbass under som...

[quote user="Amir"]
I think if you use Pure Power 3000+ it is better to use shorter power cables (2m is very good) . the bass and attacks are better with shorter Power cables.
you should not have any ground loop in your system if you use Pure P...

[quote user="Brian Clark"]I will be VERY interested in your more thorough evaluation. I hummed and hawed between the CG 25Dia and the SPU Mono before springing for the latter, expected next week. My speakers could do with a bit of upper bass help.[/q...

It is interesting: I am running now Zarathustra amp with my woofer towers, line-level crossed at 90Hz with fist order. Everything is very fine bass-wise, with very minute touch of dominating smoothness. To my surprise the typical upper-bass har...

Here is the list of the thing to do with Vitavox S2 in order to use it in 4-ways installations. The S2 must not be used in 2, 3 ways systems. It possible to do with S2 whatever you wish but pretty much any other way to utilize them produces some very...

TwoGoodEars posted at his blog a report about is listening session or some kind of installation. I still have no idea who’s installation it is: Jean Hiraga or Be Yamamura. Nevertheless, I think it very much worth to look into it.

[quote user="noviygera"]
For me personally, midbass is the most important frequency range when it comes to sound reproduction. I believe you will be on the right track to focus on this range because so often it is overlooked and treated with super...

Well, I loved, loved it loved it… but today I decided to experiment with integration the new horn into the system and learned that it would be far much complicated and take more efforts. Below are 3 sweeps form listening position, Firs is the new hor...
