Playing with B-2 power amp I made an experiment and instead of loading to it the MiniMe Bass section I loaded the B-2 with Macondo’s bass arrays. I made add-hog attenuator and coil to EQ MiniMe MF with Macondo’s bass and gave some listening. It w...

OK, the preceding thread what I research the subject of Midbass Horns and Real Estate have finished with great success.

Jessie, I have moved your post to your 45Hz horns thread but then decided to keep it here as some of my comments would be about entire system not only about your midbass horn. Anyhow, there is nothing there to laugh and it is pleasant to see that som...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]So if I understand correctly, you are still using both elements of the Red, but have separated them, and now have the HF element as shown in the above photo, and the woofer is still in the large box (still sitting up on to...

[quote user="ulf"] Well, it was not really a surprise to us that the horn without the phase plug was dissapointing. Without the plug we had a horn that was a bit too short, had too large front cavity and less compression than we desired. [/quote]

A site visitor pointed me out the I never made an intended write up about the David Haigner horns. I just forgot about them… OK, let analyze David’s claims and his Alphahorn design. I would say right the way that I do not like the Alphahorn’s id...

Ok, I think it is it. I close the experimental phase of the MiniMe projects as I have selected and feel comfortable with MiniMe results. The MiniMe Bass section is the very original MiniMe enclosure with the very same drivers as I plane from star...

Today is a first day since we moved to the new house last June
when a local audio guy comes on over to do some listening as I feel that the
room and playback setup is over. It is kind of important to me to have this introvertial
milestone, to know...

Two of my local audio folks asked me to put online my thoughts
process about my listening room. Here are some basics. Yesterday, messuring my
room I got the following response in lower octaves. That is a typical response in
rondom rooms, or wh...

user="kodomo"] Now, I am very happy down to 20hz. Do not get me
wrong, it was sounding fine and was blending well. Now, I have spacious sound

more naturally. Ove...

My first impressions a about the “differences” of field-coiled derived form the time when I ran the Telefunkens war time drivers but at that time I had no reference how the same driver would act with permanent magnet. Also, the Telefunkens are the re...

Yep, indeed, it looks very nice. The 8 sections of bass line
array look visually slightly overweening but I think when you put the upper
bass horns in place it will visually balance the things out. I feel some sort
of envy to the way how you plan ...

Zagaja, posted an interesting document in the thread “Who builds horns?” It looks like Polish Autotech Company stated to organize their horn in some kind of complete systems. That is already something, a few comment I would like to pass,

interests (when I do purely technical listening) are in the field of psychoacoustics
and the last 2 years I spent a lot of time investigating how the brain reacts
to differently arranged sound sources. The interesting thing is that the ...

Last week I took the Vitavox drivers from the Midbass
horns. This week most likely I will take
the compression chambers from the installed horns. If I even redo the midbass
horns then to have the custom-fit compression chambers will be 30% of the...

I was thinking and thinking last couple days what to do with
my lower midbass situation. I do need to use 2 drivers per channel with 100dB efficiency
to get the dBs I need to match Macondo and Milq’s bass channel gain. I do want to use Vitavox 15”...

I think my dysfunctional one 15” driver in my Midbass was

One more thing that I would like to point out in context of the recent Marc Mickelson’s review. Marc wrote:
“The Atma-Sphere amps are certainly more powerful than the ML3 Signatures, but not noticeably so unless you clip the Lamm amps. “

Hi Romy,
I am planning my own DSET build. I have based my speakers on your Macondo and
am busy turning MDF horns in my spare time.
Once that is over I will move onto amplifiers. I plan to build a fullrange Melquiades for a
