The last night I “locked” Thomas to watch Masha and Bear in
my office and spent some time with playback trying to answers a few questions in
my head.
First, I needed to discover what was the source of the ridicules
double-sound that I exp...

[quote user="decoud"]The only advantage your pilot could have over Macondo is omnidirectionality... [/quote]It might be a good idea under some circumstances but not truly necessary in my case. The way how the room our listening/living room is org...

Ok, I think it is a good time to deal with room acoustics. All infrastructure problems are set. The Midbass horns are underway; the electricity will be investigated but as now is addressed by PP2000. Macondo and Milqs are inhaled, the system is up. I...

This subject does not bother me too aggressively as I recognize absolutely no sonic demands or listening temptations to change anything in my playback. However, there is a theoretical and conceptual curiosity on my part and I would like to learn what...

If I somehow was able to recalibrate Macondo to run with the specifics of my new PP2000 sound but in the lower bass my currant playback is completely dead. It is not that it is non-listenable –it is enjoyable but the whole lower end of the midbass ch...

I was trying to strategize what would I do it tomorrow someone get in touch with me and offer my $50K. In another words what would I do to convert the Altec 19 to Cetla Ledom?This is an interesting discussion itself as it gives a blueprint for me...

Haralanov,
It is good that you remind me this; I was planning to get in touch worth those people again. I can not give you an explanation. Partially is because I do not know the details at the level of my own satisfaction. Partially is becaus...

I have been enjoying the "Euroclassic Notturno" (BBC?) program on swedish radio tonight. As a happy rookie in the world of classical music, I seek advice on Tchaikovsky based on what I just heard; His Symphony No. 5.I thought: "Horrible waltz mi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I have to admit that although the Macondo “Water Drop Tweeter” sounds very good but I do not have that “shocking sound” that I got from the “Water Drop” during my initial introduction to it. I kind of always felt it and I ...

Last and this weeks I played mostly LP records. I have only one arm and one needle setup after my move to new room – I did not decide that what final configuration I will have for my analog. Today, while I am in Brahms wave I played the entire box of...

Josh, this was an excellent
question and I was asking myself the same question a lot during the different stages
of my understanding of the Macondo architecture. I would not call it “resonance
channel” but rather the “injection channel” as it not ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I was playing more with precision of my MF channel and I became convinced that I should not do it anymore and I should get better interfaces between the frame and the MF horn. So, I have decided to get a positioning table. ...

A few days back a local audio guy come to my place, heard some music and I played and said something that did not expect from his level of audio intelligence. (I wonder if it was the same guy who advised me to write a handbook “How to make friend...

Ending up re-amping my MF channel, I found myself at unexpected situation that I am not completely compostable with Macondo HF. It is not that the HF are bad but they were made to serve the interest of older, slightly softer operating single-stag...

Yes, Anthony, any horn by nature has what I call horn arc. At the bottom of the range the channel boost output, then the gain slowly decay and become almost like a direct radiator and then the output begin to roll off at HF by horn until the driver r...
