The attachment didn't work for ...Dear Radoslaw,<br />The attachment didn't work for me. The Fidelio's need some space behind them to work best, part of the horn is the space between cabinet and rear wall. As far as where to place them, I usually try them in every location imaginable and then go for whatever sounds best and is most practical. The closer to the corners, the more bass, but every frequency will get amplified differently. Lots of trial and error (and even better, measurements) will give best results. If I remember correctly, the rear of the EX driver is sort of an acoustic filter chamber, like the compression chamber of a rearloaded horn built it. A friend took it off without much effort and left it off. I guess you should just try. There are different phase plugs available for Lowthers and they have different goals in terms of frequency response equalization and dispersion. Might make a nice post for this blog.<br />IvoIvo Tichelaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453061989024213505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801196716083559390.post-24834499093987591272009-08-09T23:46:55.225-07:002009-08-09T23:46:55.225-07:00Hello.
My name is Radoslaw, I'm from Poland. I...Hello.<br />My name is Radoslaw, I'm from Poland. I have bought Lowther Fidelio speakers (EX3) from my friend about two months ago. I'd be very very grateful If You could help me with some questions that i have. Your help could let me improve my sound quality though it is high already as I think. At first I'd like to apologise for my english, sometimes it may be hard to understand but don't hesitate to ask me for explenation of what I wanted to say.<br /><br />I wanted to ask few things. Aspecially I wanted to ask You, because You probably should know that, how should I place my speakers in my room. I have 5x3m room, now they are standing just like I drawn in the attachment. How should they be positioned towards me, should they be torsioned or should they be parallel? What I mean when I ask that.. I know that the feeling of music is a matter of taste, but I wanted to know that things from the technical side. Next thing that i wanted to ask is.. can I change my EX drivers to DX without changing the cabinet? The changing proces itself is very simple and it takes few minutes, I was wondering maybe I could buy some DX drivers and change them whether that I listen to different kind of music. Will the cabinet be large enough or maybe there is some other limit that I don't know? The next and last thing is that I wanted to ask about the Phase Equalizer. Could You tell me how do they work, how I attach them, which should I buy, and... everything that You thing should be helpful.<br /><br />I'd be very grateful If You could help me with my speakers. I'm very happy to listen the music from them, the change from my previous system was awesome. Now I wouldn't change them for any other ever. I'm asking, because lots of people say that there are many "tricks" that I could do with them, and that they can play even better then they are playing now. When I saw the difference between "normal" horn speakers that I had earlier and the Lowthers I was shocked, and now I bealieve that this kind of change is possible, and maybe the change that I could introduce to my system after Your reply could change what I hear again to something far more better.<br /><br />Thanks in advance<br />With regards<br />Radosław Przeklasa.<br /><br /><br />atrachment:<br /><br />http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=39a8fbc8638ccc515a3d773badf21430e04e75f6e8ebb871R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15551238695190666098noreply@blogger.com
