So, I wonder what kind option I have. I think the most proper would be to reengage the Macondo's Axioms and to see how the bass channel might be modified in order to work alone with 63Hz mode but not against it.

Ok, the last night with time aliment of the driver I had many “weird” problems with sound gone

…and now some “sounds” has the resemblance with what Macondo ought to do. Many aspects of tone and imagine are back and the most important the environment become clean and the problems with sound do not masked but well identifiable.

At this point I have a very clear vision that the main problem with Macondo is very much underperforming bass.  In the old room the bass was very well managed, I called it tailored bass, where it was just as much and as good quality as it needed across the bass octaves. The room was literally breathing with LF harmonics and the rest of the music was unfolded on the LF canvas. It was almost the pedal point presentation.

….with HF octaves were drifting above the LF bubbles.  It was very nice and I very much accustom to this type of sound. Reading this people might feel that it was some kind of “constant subwoofers pressure” as most of the morons set up this playbacks. Surely, it was nothing like this. I would have a difficult time to describe the effect as I did not hear it in any other listening rooms. Do I have the effect in my current room? Not even close.

In fact, after the measurements, the bass in this room is not useful and I unfortunately have to recognize that I will not be able to use Melquiades SET to handle bass. My initial sentiment was that I might be looking at the subject deeper I feel that I was mistaken. I do not have proper sound from 125Hz and doe and I need to get it. I think that my complain that the room has “dry” sound does not come from the fact that the room is untreated but from the fact that I have no proper bas and consequentially not proper lower octaves harmonics.

OK, like I it or not but I would need to put a powerful SS amp into the game and to get my “room breathing” back. Probably I would need to put Yamaha B2 to the game for now and make a temp midbass channel….
