It is ended a very nice. Today I have calibrated the playback,
fine the right phasing for the channels and figure out how to integrate them.
The direct radiator midbass runs remarkably flat to the rest in the system.

Today I spent a few hours to calibrate the Macondo and Milq.
One of the drivers from Macondo was gunner and the rest was more of less stable.
I did some initial measurements. It was not impressive. I do have approximately
3-4 db deficiency on left...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Of cause not but did you read and understand the Macondo
Axioms? The Macondo Axioms proclaims that an individual driver and individual channel
have to be set in maximum suitable for own topology operation. According to Go...

When many of your will experiment with building and listening your own horns and spend countless amount of time by sketching a configuration of your new horn assembly you then might come to an observation that Macondo Upperbass topology is very s...

[quote user="de charlus"]Romy, do you have first hand listening experience of these YL drivers? If so, in what sort of installation? [/quote]
Nope, I did hear neither YL drivers nor ALE driver, as least consciousnessly.

The “best midrange comes from compression drivers”. I see somebody like Haralanov would be very much opposed to this comment. The irony is that I would be opposed as well to this comment. I would say that the best midrange at over 107dB sensitiv...

Romy,
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Remind you that horn
not only does that but it performs acoustic transformation gradually. [/quote]
Yes, I do
agree with you about that. From both theoretical and practical point of view it
is 100% true. But...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...to hear it from a person who advocates a single driver approach :-)[/quote]
Hahhaha, if
you call the combination of 4x23” + 4x15” + 12”+ 8” +2” a single driver
approach, then the people who really use single driver sp...

Thanks for the kind words Romy. I am enjoying taking my time with this project and getting things just right. It sure helps when there is little development involved, just duplication more or less. Development may come later as I impose my exp...

I keep thinking about the type of the loading the guy from Germany
used. I am not sure if I agree with Josh that the absence of front chamber if
the key for the success that Josh describes. Let analyze it.
The front chamber for LF drivers is not...

+++ Going back in time to your Super Macondo with the midbass horn, I'm wondering how did the big horn influence your perception of Macondo sound if you remember?
Yes, it is very very good question and essentially the question which r...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

Yes, this English pace did not give a lot of new information. I know nothing about the AudioTekne Company. I like that they wrote about their bass driver but I do not know how much truth and the actual results behind it. I do think that they wor...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] For a lot of reasons, I'd vote for an alternate placement. You've got that basement, so why not use it as a rear chamber? You might be able to use the volume "as is", without building a proper rear chamber. In this ca...

Steve Schell pointed to Bill Woods’ site aka RCAfan.

Yes, it turned out to be the emails from GOTO importer. I am not completely understood if the horn at the picture above is an official GOTO product. The Ming Su said that the horn was build locally by Jeffrey Jackson with the support of GOTO but then...

I took this quote from Bill’s post in the Bermuda Triangles

A few years ago a Russian guy, Murat form Moscow, popped at this forum
with his ideas to build multichannel horn installation, that in his words would
be the “best in the world”.

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 ...
