... once you're going downhill you start to pick up speed!

Peter Menting · 8th May 2009, 08:13 PM

Adam; At this age its hard to pick up anything---- and "speed" is no longer part of the vocabulary!!

Regards,
Pete

you can attach a picture (one only) to every post you make on the forum, just make sure it is not too large (under 1000 pixels wide or high, and the file size below 100kB). if the photo's from your camera are larger, I can recommend Irfanview as a tool to resize them (an excelent freeware picture viewer)

Henkjan; Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions I will look to that site and if successful will set up a thread in the "Full Range" section.

After 18 years you just keep on working at it---it really is like good wine--better with age!

Regards;
Pete

Hi Jereon,
I'd possibly suggest the Alpair 10 if you're room size is larger. Digital equalisation could be very useful. Then play with the axis angle as there will be room influences. Sadly, we don't have the facility to generate waterfall at this moment. Did you see the German review on the Alpair 10? This will give you an illustration of the linearity of the driver across its range.

Hi Peter,
No problem and many congratulations on the 50th. Hope you had a good celebration!
You've attracted increasing interest in your OB design. Bob Brines has made reference to it on another thread:

taming the rising high freq response of FR drivers

It took me a little time to work out the picture loading. Keeping the jpegs below 80-kb worked OK. Henkjan's advice may be better than mine.

PS - Perhaps your good lady will buy you some Diana Krall CD's.

Cheers,

Mark.
