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...

So 3cu ft enclosure withe dims. of Bill (to be made), Tannoy stock crossover. I'm thinking how to design the x-over entry to the sealed enclosure to have the x-over outside without breaking the seal. ...

...as anthony points out, but sometimes one can cheat the brain. You mentioned the 100uF caps, here is an interesting film one:

Ah ok, got it - not superposing the crossovers but modding an aftermarket one. I've located that UK gentleman you mentioned, but for the beginning I will start with the original Dannoy configuration and hear what happens. Thank you again...

First of all a BIG THANK YOU Romy for taking your time to record this guide!
I understand your warnings of not jumping on the project too early but I see it as a nice opportunity to experiment with compact speakers, suitable for ...

...do you use? Scan Speak 25W/8565-00? Do you also feel that the reduced 2cu feet volume works better than the original 3cu? I've just acquired a pair of nice looking Reds and think of moving slowly forward. My listening space is quite small.

Bill, pls upload first to the gallery, give it a definite name and then paste to the post using the pic icon. Thanks for your effort....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...Then Bill crossed his Dannoys at 80 cycles, and the bottom field is his subwoofer. The sound was still very nice altogether with exception of digital amplifier signature but Dannoy become so much less dynamically challen...

Rowuk, seemingly you would like to see the creative process as sort of a clock-work machine where every step is a logical consequence of the previous. It doesn't work like that. To be precise it's only a part of the story. There has been an ongoi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]*** I am positive that if
you get 100 pieces of exactly your model of Tannoy, they will ALL sound
different.
Very likely, I have 6
drivers and one of them sound as I need, all the rest of them are compromised.
They ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Thank you very much, it is very nice to learn about it. The dilemma that I see standing in front of me is following. In a 194 months, I have my Remies completed and fully operational, sounding perfect after 2 hours, let's ...

FYI: Talked to a vintage specialist/repairman about old dried caps. Compressed sound and lack of space are the two things he mentioned straight away....
|

I don't have experience with vintage electronics but from purely hypothetical point of view I guess there are two major warm up processes:
1. Warming up and reaching thermal stability by semiconductors.
2. Electr...

Do you have your B2's refurbished with new caps? Another place to look are the old Tannoy crossovers....
|
|
Romy, it’s selfunderstood (at least to me) that the project is in its infancy and you are on terra incognita. Im trying to visualize what was „the last working configuration”.
[quote user="Bill"]These are Romy's original boxes and s...

Are you using the ScanSpeak pair of the original Dunlavy tower for the midbass or something else? Can you pls give the outer dimensions of the towers to have some image? ...
|
|
Ok, got it. I second Paul's experience that trying to retrace own footsteps is the best strategy in such cases. Esp. that Dannoys + B3 didn't perform at Bill's place....
|
|
Were Dannoys played in the surround mode?...
|
|
Perhaps bring the Dannoys back home to see if you can reproduce the magic? Maybe the specific room interaction caused it? Also did you use Dannoys in stereo or with the surround?...
|
|
The sound wavelength must be much longer than the 6". How low the 15" goes? BTW, has anyone compared old AK151 vs the new production? The old ones seem impossible to find (new production being in turn horribly expensive).
...
|
|
Romy, can the rear panel be unmounted/cut somehow to access the baffles from behind? If so, give your carpenter a task to mill out the baffles from behind down to 1" or whatever you find acceptable. It looks difficult given the depth of the boxes but...
|
|
Ok, now I see that this is a whole concept and shaving off the front baffles is not an option. I hope your builder can redo the cabinets quickly. Instead of 1" 45deg bevel you might consider 1" radius to minimize/disperse HF reflections and diffr...

... that such modest-looking, off the shelf setup moved Mac/Milq out of the listening room is impressive enough. If that were my boxes, before commissioning new pair, I'd try shaving off the front baffles. Any wood workshop should do that, no ne...

Thank you very much Romy for your attempt on comparing the two. Although it is obviously just a sketch, I enjoyed it and actually my curiosity about Dannoy/SIT has even grown. Might be you've hit one of a "singular point" of audio. You mentioned...
|
|
That's why asking - I value high Chinese craftsmanship (not to be confused with a cheap mass production!) but the distance makes it difficult for corrections. The plugin for external mount should not be a great deal but as Paul said, the driver will ...
|

That hurts...I usually use some 3D software to model before productions. Both takes and saves time. May I ask why China? ...

about audio conventionally, looks like not necessarily bring our playbacks to
