Very impressive

If they were going to be the same there wouldn’t be any point.

On the other hand:

I know David has tried some different positions and David was kind enough to send me a video link of the...

Hi David,


What cartridge and turntable are you currently using?

One hypothesis is the more accurate 4429 is allowing the warts from your cartridge through.

My own observations from...

Sounds like a nice project and a nice woofer.

If your looking for a better than okay result your going to needs a passive network specific to your drivers.

I can assist with a passive...

So your saying Don’s a twit. Lolllllllllllll

Time to put the black umbrella up.

That’s your interpretation. I roll my eyes on the American 1 % rich. For those onlookers from the other three quarters of the globe they will appreciate people buy things for status, hero purchases...

This has become a very interesting discussion.

David on the topic of alternative loudspeakers. Over the years l have corresponded with some loudspeaker builders in Paris and horns loaded systems...

No worries.

It’s obviously a new sound but is always useful to understand why? Your not imagining the difference and there are a certain combination of acoustic reasons for the differences. That...

Hi all those viewing this thread.

Before l can start the 2451 measurements l need to fit the 2451 driver to the flange.

But there’s a problem Houston. The studs are too long and won’t allow the...

Yes it would be.

Perhaps shack up with a nice punter in Manhattan overnight.

See my attachment below.
That’s what l would do…Lol. Why do the round trip when you can rise to the occasion the...

Hi Phil,

The trains are very good over there. They are actually on time. I’ve always commuted by train to and from NYC when visiting. As l recall l had to change trains at Jamaica to get the Long...

Hi David,

How is it going?

It occurred to me that with your experience with the 4425 and 4430 those are 100 x100 bi radials and two way. The key difference is the 4429 horn is asymmetrical and...

Break in period of one to two months would hopefully be a factor.

I hope they do come around as there is nothing worse than initial disappointment

I posted over on Diyaudio.com in one of Patrick Bateman threads proliferating the virtues of the M2 style horn. It will be interesting to see if Patrick posts here.

Glad you have a sense of humour on my in joke. I will always recall your guided tour of NYC back in 2004. I remember before we left to go into the city your amazing late wife Issa saying “ lan you...

No worries.

Over on Diyaudio Lyn Olsen did a very long thread on an Altec 416 with an Oblate wave guide. The Altec woofer trades efficiency and a larger enclosures for Xmax low in a smaller box....

You would have needed a Road Atlas to find your way back home wouldn't you ya....ol.....faaaart.

Getting the 2451 compression driver ready for testing tomorrow. Robert S kindly provided these flanges.

Unfortunately the studs on this particular driver where slightly bent because the idiot who...

Hi David,

The 4429 looks to be a very nice system.

Below is a review FWIW.

I note your comment on the height of your stands.

One of the things that upsets the tonal balance is the...

My 2451 drivers arrived today.

I will check them out over the next couple of days and see how they go on my M2 horns.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for posting this measurement.

If you have time email me this REW file. I will have a squiz at the file once I have eaten my prawns. Then add the passive high pass filter...

Hi Scott,


I hear you. It can be addictive. Sometimes l just keep going and the time just flys. It’s fun connecting with people who are interested in this type of thing.

Once l have my new...

Just a heads up I will edit and make these images larger later today. I have to update some settings in the software. If you would like pdf attachments for hi resolution download images I can also do...
