audio-talk

been full of cold all weekend so what better to do than listen to the hifi so i dragged the beymas through to the lounge for some a/b comparisons the vitavox based corner speakers vs the 2x12's and the beymas at a first listen the vitavoxs sound very impressive, and they are really. the beymas sound...

[quote="SteveTheShadowThis gave 240V at the plate of the 6P25 with 40mA current. Just about cock on for this nice little KT61 equivalent by Mazda. This, in the tradition of old English valves, sounds mighty fine. I'd forgotten how good these old Brit valves can be :) 6P1s, PEN45s, I feel a Bri...

i've had another night messing, i cant imagine any thing touching these beyma's... i've had a night of listening to more challenging music, all peaks and trumpets.. they have sounded just fine, really dynamic, so lifelike.. its not like me to go on about kit... i was going to mount them in the speak...

Steve, apologies for the slight digression; did you ever try the Lowthers with a front horn? Ray That was one of real choices, the main issue for me is the rising response the best early lowther cabs used reflectors, into a front horn, the hegeman horn does the same, taming the rising response, and...

not got the crosover right yet.. but had a good listen and play with the drivers tonight its difficult to fault the drivers.. they are subtle, with the sound of the vitavox but cleaner, but the same way of filling a room with 3d sound , they do the dynamic bursts with ease scale and volume, and have...

those are the ones colin, with the horns.. beat those prices though but not by alot.. still playing now,and they seem to getting more silky.. I need to wind some more inductors later if i get chance.. once i get them sorted over the next week or so, i'll get them in the living room see how they comp...

well they arrived this morning i took a few minutes at lunch time to disconnect the lowthers and clip lead the beymas in, sounded 'polite' and ok... mmmm left them running all afternoon and went and did some work, just got back..and so far they have changed quite a bit, they have a clean 'rightness'...

the bass keeping up is not a worry for me, if it turns out that way, i'd be very suprised, and pleased that i have would then exceed the performance of the CDs .. but i somehow doubt it the beyma's are supposed to be very fast and 'very' low distortion, with a very flat response around 102 dbs which...

bit of an update from me... after owston and being so pleased with the bass and lower mids from the 12" drivers, all i could hear was the colouration and the roughness from the newer lowther,... so i've been pondering where to go.. i really love the sound of the compression drivers, but searchi...

You have got me thinking paul.... a nice plaster of paris front horn coupled with a back loaded or open baffle supported bass...

this is years old but a nice read....from haden boardman Back in the 1920s Voigt worked on the design of the moving coil loudspeaker, while unknown to him at the time, Rice & Kellogg were working on a very similar design, both using a medium sized 6 1/2 inch cone. R & K beat Voigt to the pat...

some nice kit there andy but A2 Amps... sounds like you'll fit in well around here... BTH speakers... very intersting... theres not much info about cinema stuff out there, i have a set of 3 BTH amps and their power supply, i believe from a SUPA but its hard to find any info about them, welcome..

paul i can see exactly what you are aiming for, and it sounds like a good long term plan, having stripped a phillips speaker a few months ago and looking at the fine tolerences, the copper molding that somehow helps the magnetic field, i thought i was out of my depth trying to remake the likes of, m...
