    High efficiency horn speaker amp question

    There is a wide range of what is consdered a Horn speaker, we like to have front horn loaded from 120hz up. At these frequencies one amplifier will make most of the music through the horn and given the inherent lower sensibility of the bass systems we use a separate amplifier for bass on most...

    SW1X DAC III Special Listening Test (Video)

    This is a fantastic DAC, now the DAC III is also extremely good and you wouldn´t wish for anythig more, unless you have listened to the special side by side. I had both playing and have been able to compare side by side, the DAC III special has just that more air, the sounds seems illuminated...

    My thoughts on SW1X DAC II Special with USB

    Great review, I enjoyed reading it. I have not listened to the DAC II special yet. The DAC III is a fantastic DAC, everything is there and you would be hard pressed to find a better DAC, the main difference between the DAC III and the DAC III special is a certain luminosity on the sound...

    Sadurni Acoustics horns - any thoughts?

    Hi Keith, The Sadurni Acoustics horns are 4 ways. The subwoofers go from 25 hz to 120 hz , The front horns go down to 100 hz and this is a big deal. you really want this one to go that low so that most instruments can be played by a front horn. The lower the horn goes the better sound you...

    Sadurni Acoustics horns - any thoughts?

    In our Sadurni Acoustics horns we use different drivers, selected for their sound at that frequency, we use the driver that sounded best, cost no object! If it didn´t exist, we had it made for us! The midrange "turbine" horn uses a compression driver. The Upper Bass Horn uses a...

    Sadurni Acoustics horns - any thoughts?

    We believe our bass solution to have an excellent integration with the horns. most of our development was done in the bass, we tried almost all possible bass topologies to the point we got called the Myth Busters! Designed, redesigned, built, measured, listened, stashed away. Most bass...

    Sadurni Acoustics horns - any thoughts?

    Hello Joe, Yes we had a lot of issues on that show, hauling around huge horn speakers is complicated, and setting them up to sound good on any given room in one day even more. We have had good sound in shows but nothing compared to what you will hear at a dedicated room like the one set up...

    Smallest room What is the smallest room you can place your speakers in that will still sound good? The smallest room we have installed the Staccatos is the standard room at RMAF: 13´ X 19´ X 9´ It sounded great when the room was full, we did have a few issues that would have been fixed with...

    Sadurni Acoustics horns - any thoughts?

    Another question is : How do you get the bass to match the Horns? How will you get down to 25 hz and match up to horns? This is where it gets tricky! There are a lot of topologies, from just adding a lot of woofers in an array, to pro audio solutions that work good for a stadium. We...
