With 5 or 6 horns I think the only way to truly time-align would be with DSP...analog lovers don't really like that idea.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of different amp topologies?
- Thread starter christoph
- Start date
the max 3 octaves for a driver/horn combo is an oldfashioned and partly outdated philosophy and doesn´t apply for a properly designed CD horn
What Romy has is drivers designed to play in their strength bandwidth and amps that drive each and the amp is also designed for that bandwidth. Given he is such a high profile horn personality, how many visitors to his place have a gushing review online? Even the polite one for a host?
Goto was a narrow bandwidth driver and many tried to design 5 way GOTO horns. How many have been successful in designing a complete GOTO horn? Ralph has been trying multiway horns forever. He uses good quality components too. Just doesn't get them to align. Oh well.

Or a huge room and enough distance as those ginormous 5-7-way horns in Munich? Those showed remarkable integration despite old-fashioned horn coloration, I was so impressed I had a chat with the only about 25-old designer. Enjoy the lucky ones who’ve got that much space at home…

Acapella hyperspherical boast 5 octaves. Of course those don’t use compression drivers, just FYI.

WBF is going to be like ASR forum.
Insulting from rude people is common in ASR forum but now it is going to be common here.
The reason of insulting is just ignorance.

Is there any DSP in 5way Living Voice horn?
I see no DSP in Romy the Cat 5 way (6way with tannoy injection channel) system.
DSET concept
In the search for realness in sound amplification, what make/type filtering capacitor do you use at the (star) grounding point? What make of transformer do you prefer (Peerless, Tango, Magnaquest) or do you wind your own? Is it better to use C-core (potted or not) or toroidal or depends? Does 99.999 pure silver hookup wire sound more real than 99.999 pure copper or even tinned copper? Oil and silk insulated , PVC or teflon?
I am hopeful of learning from you all, the best out there, which design topology (and specific component details) will give me the greatest musical enjoyment if what I want is to replace my Ayon with an amplifier that, in combination with my Altec speakers, will get me closest to live that I can get.

if you believe the SET DHT is the way to go then you will find a SET is a bandwidth and load limited device.
Romy think the solution for SET is multi amping and using 5way horn speakers.
Check the distortion of SET when using big dynamic driver speakers.

please explain how you selected these two as the only good examples to draw conclusions from
I read Roman's rules in the link you posted.
His "audio rules" are merely personal, subjective sonic preferences codified as dogma and promoted as objectively correct. It's just a list of his personal system preferences: SETs on multi-driver horns.
Roman doesn't like analog tape, 9" tonearms, high-resolution digital, ported loudspeakers, dipole loudspeakers, non-paper drivers, second order or third order cross-overs or ultrasonic record cleaning machines. It's a pretty cranky list.

I wasn´t out to insult you, but a cathegorical statement like yours deserves correction
No the LV speaker, which I love the sound of, does not use DSP…it is also not time aligned to the best of my knowledge. The horns in that design are small enough to allow reasonable placement so the disparity in propagation isn’t so bad. I think the midbass in that design is also backloaded so the mids are easier to align with the upper mid horn. Add to that Kevin Scott spent about 30 years working on that design, which started as the Air Partner
the 2 LV horn systems were two of a few systems worth giving any attention in Munich 2019
What size and design do you consider the output transformer to be good?
Do you pay attention to the technical characteristics of these devices?
You don’t get much for a Million bucks these days do you !!! no funds left over for a little first reflection room correction then ?
