Jessie, in the configurations of the horns and derivers that you are building your mid channels do not exposed too much to stresses. It is not that you have a situation when 1/4 octave more and less will send your channels into suffocation - your hor...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Some of you who follow my site know about the coming Macondo 7th Channel. The inventor of the concept is Russian audioalogist. Considering a great novelty and a lot of controversy in the subject I would be interested to sit...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

Yesterday a guy come me from Atlanta to “see” my new installation. I kind of explained that I am not in “demo mode” now but he still came to “see it”. I have no idea what he wanted to “see” and I was kind of obligated to play something to him. I...

The injection channel is the only thing about the Macondo that raises my eyebrow as a kind of "out there" concept and I have been meaning to ask about it for quite some time. I tried to brush up and read as much as I could just now on your experience...

[quote user="Jorge"]I tend to think that we are not copying Romy, but more that he has generated a school of thought on audio and yes horns speakers also.I too have a system following some of the Macondo Axioms, but have used all diferent drivers.As ...

It is not my Audio “Bucket List” and not the audio things that I would like to experience before the 2012. These are just the regions of audio curiosity that I would be excited to sample and motivated to make efforts to pursue. The entries without an...

Believe me or not but since last spring when I undertook the single-amp conversion and went for the six-channel Super Melquiades my playback never sounded as I would like it to. It was better or worst but it was never how I meant. The last week the t...

It was an audio eventful year and I have experimented and discovered many fascinating things. Here is a brief summary of the 2007 audio-events and a short look what my audio happening will might take please in 2008.

+++ 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...

Since my new tweeter will be arriving in a month or so I am slowing completing the ideas of finalizing the frame of my Macondo. Whoever dealt with 4-ways horn-lodes know that framing of this thing is quite tough. It should be functional and none-abus...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] There were some educational for myself observations made, in some way saying something about this specific DHT, in some way saying something about Melquiades’ single stage version and the Melquiades’ full-range two-stages ...

Nope, wrong guess. I see no problems of any kind with my upper range of S2 driver. It would also hardly be related to the subject of the linked thread. BTW, I wonder of someone were be able to deduce what the 7th Macondo channel might be. I see someo...

I need to establish some kind of prize for a person who would guess what the characteristics of the channel I am planning to will add to Macondo. Assure you it is worth guessing as the result might be orders of magnitude more impactful then the effec...

Well, acg, I am not wild about your idea of the curved frame,
primary on the reason of esthetics but it is your speaker not mine and you
shall do whatever pleases you. A few mandatory things that I would like to

Yes, my DSET is fundamentally the same as yours with 6 channels, three fullrange, 1627a for Channel C. The largest difference is probably that my DHT channel has its own B+.My preamp is quite different though, being a hybrid based on 10y. It has a ...

[quote user="tuga"]Romy, Now I'm very curious. Could a mechanical prop be added to Macondo in order to stimulate a particular state of mind, like a certain spice would increase salivation? Could this be a universal spice or would it only work with a ...

KS, I can;s visialise what you say. Make a picture of draw a diagram if you wish. But you know the answers – according to my Macondo Axioms all channels shall be located above easy other and no horizontal offset need to be used. Pile them up vertical...

I know it might sound a bit moronic but it is what it is. I keep playing with playback trying to find out what is I do not like. While doing so I put my old injection channel back to service, juts to time-alight everything and to see how it works. Yo...

Ok, the Injection Channel project is over. I dumped the boxes not heavily and very conventionally, painted them, installed the drivers and crossovers. Sure, before I put the injection channels into the Macondo frame I flipped them upside down and tri...

[quote user="ml8"]So sometimes i just wonder why do you need 6C33C at all, with your high-sensitive speakers.[/quote]Actually it would be VERY interesting to expend on it sometimes… Why the Supper Melquiades could not be juts one powerful 2-stafes LF...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Nope, it will be done at electro-magneto-acoustical domain. No helmet will be involved ether. The Cat [/quote]I suppose you'll use an electro-magnetic driver instead of a fixed magnetic field one, whose magnetic field would...

...seems to me finacio-emotional not technical. The Macondo and 9 channel Melquiades are really one device, essentially an active speaker. If a maker did not feel obliged to put the amp and the speaker in different boxes he would obviously optimise t...

I was trying to fix my broken B2 amp and I think I “fixed” it to the point that it is absolutely dead. That made me very upset. It is kind of funny as playback sounds fine without ULF channel and I frequently listen with ULF channels off. However, ...

I come up with the idea to introduce 6th channel and add bass array in between tapped horn and upperbass horn. Benefits:1. I can use 1st order lowpass for Tapped Horn at 15-20Hz2. 30Hz+ range become time-aligned3. I don't need to go very low with upp...

I did try it and it was very bad. The Bias Channel did not affect imagine but only made soundstage wider, which was not my intention. Along with the widening of soundstage it made a LOT of other very negative impacts, namely increase compression, mad...

I would like to point out that copying or not copying Macondo is kind of irrelevant. With proper assessment techniques any person who experiment with horn-loaded multi-channel pile of the horns would end up with the very same configuration – noth...
