with small drivers with output limits placing any vent be it reflex or back loaded horn mouth, placing it on the rear side of the cabinet will maximize the effect of boundary reinforcement for the deepest tones offering the greatest gain unless you intend to wall mount.
@morayjames92Күн бұрын
Just a suggestion that mot having the curved reflectors at the bends enables more of the high frequencies to exit the mouth of the horn which is something you don't want to have happen as it confuses the image creating multiple sources. Placing the mouth of the horn on the back side of the cabinet will assist in you hearing less high frequencies exiting the mouth or at least delay them long enough for your brain to recognize them as reflections which is a better compromise. Nice job thanks for posting, going to look for your next post now.

In the 70s I ran a HiFi shop in the UK. We had the (then) complete range of KEF speakers. An interesting thing was that in 4 years we only sold 2 pairs of Concerto. Other models like the Cadenza, Choral and later the 104 sold very well indeed. Personally, I never liked the Concerto, I found it muffled and lacking in detail, compared with the other models in the range. Your version, looked like a very early one. I just wondered, if you could have had a comparative dem of all the KEFs would your decision be the same?

What's most sweet Tube-sounding chip in your opinion? And, generally, by slightly overpowering chip amps, what's the sound signature result?
@diyfullrangehifispeakers2 ай бұрын
I don't have any experience with tubes yet except for childhood experiences with tube gear back in the 60's. I'm very happy with Solid State and digital. If I want nostalgia play Frank Sinatra. I do like Slow Blues like Ronnie Earls. Favourite amp chips so far TDA7498E and TPA3116D2.

I see that the port of your speaker is smaller than the end of the pipe. This causes the wave to compress as it reaches the end of the box, which sends an interfering wave back up the pipe. A true Voigt pipe expands continuously to the end. You might consider opening the port completely.

Is this truly a Voigt pipe? It looks to me like a horn. Also, the port is smaller than the end of the horn, so the wave is compressed as it exits the box, which sends an interfering wave in the opposite direction. My first suggestion (because it is easy to do) would be to open up the port.

You could be on the money there. I'll try that. Unfortunately the measurement mic was on loan and I was asked to return it, so cannot do more measurements for the moment. BTW I believe a Voigt Pipe is a type of horn.☮️🇦🇺

Greetings Peter, once again congratulations on a well-made enclosure for these excellent drivers. Have you perhaps come across their technical characteristics somewhere? I got a couple and I want to do a sealed box type as part of a 2.1 system, where they would be relieved of the deepest spectrum. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

I'd agree the Alsyvox/Aries Cerat room was one of the best sounding rooms, alongside Nirvana's room. Though i'm surprised Hi End Audio's room featuring the Audio Solutions Figaro M2 speakers and Soulnote A-3 integrated didn't make your list. I rated that room higher than some of the other rooms you featured.

Good work mate. I've started downloading music and buying physical music apposed to streaming. I have a niggle that Hollywood is going down the toilet and the music industry is following behind. Streaming services are on struggle street. I bought a DAP to be my music streamer as it is quite versatile. I plug it into my receiver via 3.5 to RCA connector. The sound is clear as it has an onboard DAC and clean amplifiers. I've copied all my CD's and albums to SD card and backed up on a hard drive. If I want to bluetooth music to my system the DAP receives bluetooth quite easily (For whatever music streaming service). When I'm out and about I use my DAP with IEM's or 3.5 to 3.5 it to the car stereo.

Hi Jake, thanks for the feedback. I love my Tidal and how its algorithms find me new music based on my choices.

I had also saved a lot of music to mp3 but streams are higher now. Anyhow whats a DAP?☮️🇦🇺
