Who knows more about this brand and their distributors?

I've read someone's comments on goodsoundclub I guess, regarding the biggest compression driver in their line (the 100Kg ones). It was in a system with two of those per sub-bass horn, four of them in total for stereo.

The general impression was that it simply was something different that any bass system, with no actual reference to compare with, but the overall system was really plagued by the fact that the bass was having a significant delay because of the length of the horn - around 6m.

I'm sorry but i don't.

However with the cost of one of their bass horns at £ 28,215.75 (yes £28 thousand ) or Euro 31,570.07 they can keep them, that's without the driver to (better check the price of that after i post this lol) I think a diy version of the horn would be the order of the day...

Nice to look at though & i'd seriously like to take a look at that 100Kg bass driver

Cheers for the links tiefbassuebertr.

E2A:- One driver costs nearly as much as one horn

Impressive! But nothing like a home built esl system. I like the user 4 picture with the little tiny t.v. set in the middle. jer

can i please borrow some of "their" money? please. I would shave my dogs butt and teach him to walk backwards before i spent that kind of money.
they may sound great, but some cosmetics are in line and needed there.

 

[geraldfryjr]

my dog already knows how to walk backwards.but i wouldn't even try to shave her butt as the emergency room bill would probably be more.
money spent on a working 1929 t.v. set would be good money well spent on decor! jer

how in the world did you find this? that price tag blows my mind. i would like to meet the buyers myself, there would be a huge market for us DIY guys. I will just stick to my personal panels, cannot wait to hear them this weekend. I HOPE.

Bass Horn ...

The bass horn measures 1500 mm by 2000 mm at the mouth - roughly 5 feet tall by six and a half feet wide - which is TOO SMALL !!! You know what they say about Real Bass Horns- If you can't walk into it, it is TOO SMALL !!! I guess if you had this kind of money, you could add on to it in your Custom Listening Room Construction - Stereo Only version - I can't imagine how large a project would be for Full 5.1 Surround !!!

Here is a link to Dick Burwen's Audio System:

Thanks for the link, torriod88!!
I have seen that before and it was a very good read as it is the first time I had seen the reprints of the actual articles that were published on his system.

Hi tiefbass, have you seen the actual prices of that Stuff. The A160 Bassdriver will be around 61.500.- EU and the matching Horn close to 50.000.- EU plus Taxes her in Germany plus transport with Airfreight. So one Horn/Driver combination will reach 140.000 EU or more?
Do you have had the last Lotto Jackpott???

this parts have better price-performance ratio than parts like follow:

BTW - Lotto Jackpott with only 140.000 euros total profit - I would be extremely annoying.

Tiefbass you get me maybe wrong!I never said that this Stuff is not worth the price, I only wanna say that such a Setup will become more then expensive!!! Two times the Basshorn with their Drivers will cost around 280.000 EU and then what about the rest of the Music? Mid and HighRange on the same level will be surely around 100.000 EU and then you need the nessary Electronic to drive the whole installation!
That need surely a Lottery JackPott then!

The pictures of tiefbassuebertr come from Mr. Kobayashi in Osaka, he is an architect (pictures from the German magazine Schoener Wohnen). The low frequency drivers are twin YL-1250 which can be seen in the garden. YL is ALE today, but the same designer. Die Treiber kosten mit Transport & ZolL+MwSt. etwas mehr.

@ tiefbassuebertr GoodSoundClub - Romy the Cat's Audio Site - Eventually - a reasonable midbass horn from GOTO its not Goto designed or manufactured ( made to sell the SG146 ), designed and made by Jeffrey Jackson for the Goto distributor in the US and Canada.
