Being french I did not have the pleasure of listening to any of the system own by this man.But my brother stephane is living in france and went to his place (I should say palace) for a day of listening.

He is using AEL compression from 20H to 20Khz and some time swap with goto tweeter and compression.
He is aiming for a full horn loaded system with compression drivers.

In the first picture above the Drivers were the JBL 2227 in the bass cabinet. I do not know the rest.

The only comment that Stephane (my brother) had was the low frequency horn were to long and were dampening the response in the bass. However the horns were going deeper than his humble 4435.
The high frequency and the medium was oustanding. Scott fittin refers to tad has beeing less agressive than JBL and still giving all the details. This was the case with AEL and goto.

The bass cabinet were sold to another french man near the town of Lyon. They are now loaded with 515E and I was told by stephane that this deliver bass and punch and surpase the 4435 by far for transient response. Because of the enormous quantity 8x515E stephane did not feel the need for extended low frequncy response to 20hz and felt the 40hz was plenty.

As most of you are saying. The theory and engineering approach can not replace the human ear to like and don't like.

The system belongs to Jean-Yves Kerbrat of Paris.
Ed Bellity has another very respectable JBL all horn system.
Both are really nice guys.

enjoy!

Hi,

I know his system from an article by Jean Hiraga in this issue of RDS. At that time the system was ALE/GOTO based and used ALE low-frequency compression drivers using a 25 cm diaphragm and having a weight of 98 kg!
If someone is interested in a scan of this article (french, 8 pages, 5.66 MB) just send me a PM or email.

Regards,

Norbert

Just remembering the fun I had looking at the pics in this old thread and found something neat to add from the opposite side of the planet:

The guy that has theres amps in this picture has way to much money.
The amps in the 2nd row are Cary Audio 1610's at $40,000 a pair. So I see $200,000 just in that row

Thought I would add to the collection of system versions:

That's just what it takes to get your picture into this illustrious collection of audio excess!

What is that thing he is holding, It looks like a prop piece from the movie "The Planet of the Vampires".

It's a T-1610 power tube and like everything else this guy has, expensive.

I have Microsoft Photo Editor, and I know I can change the size, but I don't see where I can change the DPI.....
MBB

Select "Save As", name it a new name, then hit "More" in the bottom left of the "Save As" window- slide the quality factor slider over to whatever % change you want. ~94% is same as original dpi.

I've given training classes on that program, and have a bunch of .docs and such on how to use it if you're interested. Decent quick'n'dirty program for fast, basic edits.
