Hm, I am not sure that pedal is what I would do juts for a full range Milq. The 6-ch Milq is architectural monster and to use a pedal for it is sensible as the PS is separate and in inconvenient to reach location. In a full range everything is “righ...

Over the course of the enter 2006 Dima and I were involved into the Zarathustra II saga. It took countless phone calls, countless emails, a lot of thinking, numbers of shipments and many hours for Dima and me to propagate the project to it semi-compl...

[quote user="oxric"] I am looking for someone who might be willing and capable of building an amplifier inspired from Romy's Melquiades schematics for me once my horns are finished. [/quote]If I were you then I would not pursue for any amplifier and ...

I would like to share my observations about public perception of Melquiades - The Realty Reconstructions Amplifier.
Melquiades, or as I affectedly-abridgedly call it “the Melq” was released to pubic exactly a year ago:

Best amplifier is the one that you just built…Yes, it is a common unfortunate law of Audio but the people who know me personally know that try do not behave according to this behavioral pattern. So, this weekend I decided to do try the new Melquiades...

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...

It is a UK company, and Romy has unknowingly heard the AG1500 unit in my system (to the extent to which the rest of it makes it audible). I use it to drive a full range Melquiades SET, a DAC, and an FM tuner. It is carefully made, internally, and has...

First major audio observation that I made is that my Super Melquiades should be revised. After a year and a half of using the amp I came across to some conclusions that outlined the prospective changes in my DSET.
1) The phase inverters after...

[quote user="Paul S"] With the Wright amps the G2Si did not seem to live up to their efficiency specs using my little cap and coil crossover. I can't offer good descriptions of their sound with the ML2s until I get my TT going, but ...

[quote user="montepilot"]Does Melchiades single channel amps have this gain mechanism built in? Since this is the audio for dummies thread, might I ask how this adjustment is done and what kind of device you would use for measuring?[/quote]A full-ra...

I'm going to try and build a Melquiades type amplifier (with some help from friends) following the advice given above to make it as simple as possible. I could spend more money for "different" transformer, but I will ask you for advice on...

[quote user="decoud"]This is a synergy horn, a topology that Danley has a patent on, I believe, and certainly the most expertise. There have been extensive discussions on this site about it, including Romy's theoretical objections to the idea. In a s...

Charles, you would not need a fan for a single channel full-range Melquiades. One 6C33C, and particularly in the way how you mount it, will not overhear this chassis. I very much like how you separated the amp section from PS and from the entir...

[quote user="decoud"] Romy, can you be persuaded to post a sketch of what you think the optimal 2 channel Melquiades circuit would look like? [/quote]
Decoud, I do not think that there is such a thing as optimal DSET. The entire concept of DSET is a...

Hi Romy,Many thanks: the answers are...1. The tweeter I thought could go below the MF.2. The room is 5m x 5m x 3.6m.3. Given size of room, corner location would be most practical.4. LF will have to be compact, hence tapped horn appeals.5. S2 diaphrag...

I detected that the Water Drop tweeter has VERY interesting ability to react to the stage of out stage. I am driving the Water Drop with a full range Melquiades SET. As you know the full-rage Milq use a moderate Lindale transformer with a juts 200mA ...

Hi Romy,I am building a modularizable version of the Melquiades (i.e. it is full range, but one can add more channels to it) and therefore wish to have the power supply in a separate enclosure. This raises two questions:1. From what you say, points M...

A local guy asked me that since my low-powe, full-range Milq is sitting in my storage and I do not use it then he would like to try it: he has 1110dB sensitive speakers and SET and PP amps. I figure out that if I give the Milqs to him now then I wil...

I suppose the key question in this situation is this: if you are going to have a single amplifier is the advantage of any departure from a SET topology ever likely to compensate for its shortcomings? If the answer is by and large no, as it seems to m...

As all the parts for the full range Melquiades are making their way to meet me,I'm faced with the need for a 12v-5v service power supply (fan , hour meter, LEDs ).How to approach the issue ?1.buy regulated switched (and cheap) power supply and be don...

Rony,
After reading my post about the undersized core (for the given current) of Lundahl transformers you might be an impression that Lundahl are some kind of second choice. The undersized amorphous Lundahls forum is second chose for an ultimate ful...

Well, I was thinking about that “Resonating Oops” for a while. I made quite a number of experiments. I some cases I was able to get interesting results but the “Resonating Oops” is very illusive. I do know that many readers of my site have wrong perc...

By the way, Anthony here is a lead for you. I do not know
what kind Melquiades you build and how you
changed specification for your amp but if you have the one identical to mine
then you had a provision for injection channels which is full range M...

This is kind if funny as I never thought that I will go this way. I kind of have a need for an amplifier. For a normal full range amplifiers that would be able to drive conventional speakers. I really can’t use the Super Melquiades as it has the live...

I did an interesting experiment today trying to learn if those Melquiades driver tubes have even gain. The Russian tubes are notorious to have very widely spreading specification, so….
I took 14 6E6P. Some of then were new, some used and some violen...

Paul,
I re-mapped your post to your older thread; I hope you do not mind…
Anyhow, I find absolutely nothing in the older ML2’ sound related to L1/L2 “X-Factor”. As I suggested in the second post of the flowing thread:

[quote user="manisandher"]As I alluded to before, I'm at risk of becoming a DSET convert - it's all very well having a nice low-powered amp, but what the hell do you use with it? Are there any decent high-sensitivity FR speakers out there? Or is ...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Hi romy, thanks for info. I am going to stick with the 2-stage plan then as it will not be DSET but full range and my mid-bass is somewhat barbaric at this point. I have found someone to build for me, though we ha...
