[quote user="skushino"]Have you considered the opportunity of raising your upper bass HP crossover? How high do you plan to use your mid bass horns? If your mid bass is comfortable playing up to 280hz (or whatever the right freq is), you can use yo...

[quote user="Jorge"]About the looks, well I listen to music with my eyes closed, so I dont really care.[/quote] Well, it is not how I see it. The topology of acoustic systems like Macondo implies the stand-alone tweeters. So, why do not make it attra...

Jessie was very right talking about therapeutic influence of audio projects.
I do not know why buy I feel very much attached and really feel personally the various micro events that I are going on with my current 6-channel Supper Milq project. ...

This is one of my favorite posts on your site.My daily playback system uses Tannoy 15" Gold drivers in large back-loaded Autograph cabinets. It isn't used for critical listening, rather it's mostly on in the background playing my local NPR radio sta...

Last week and this weekend I been spending some considerable amount of time and efforts to do what I intended to do for long time – to finalize the Macondo’s ideas. What I mean is that with all Melquiades progress, the fundamental channel, with Injec...

In this thread I would like to talk a bit about the practice in DSET driven multi-way horns configuration.
I have expressed my view that the architectural configuration that Macondo and Super Melquiades end up to be I find is the most interest...

OK, I disconnected my MiniMe speakers and left only Macondo to care sound in the room. I was listing for the last week Macondo. There is no bass, just upperbass horn at the bottom and The Injection channel a full range. It is OK sound but truly nothi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This is all because you are a primitive person with very simplistic and amateurish understanding of many things. You need to learn from much more sophisticated people, of cause I mean myself. Take a look: I do not run like...

Hi Romy,Well, this is my (and my dad's) first horn system so we're learning/building one step at a time. Our motivation is simple, to use horns as low as possible.The very first DIY configuration was:TAD ET-703TAD 4002GOTO 505TTTAD 1603 Woo...

Not will everyone “get” it, or would agree with it but… where did you see me to care….
Q: What is the worst aspect of sound reproduction?
A: Excessive HF response of playback. A flat response above 5-6kHz is indication...

Pierre, yes, I understand it. It kind or irrelevant what they destined for and yes, in domestic applications in context of low power we can use it lower. What I am saying is that as we do use it at extreme low range we deal with slightly overdamped d...

I kind of in a way used these techniques with my playback during past years. When I used 3-channel Melquiades and had a dedicated ½ 6C33C for MF driver of Macondo I usually tended drive my rights MF channel at slightly higher current then left c...

[quote user="haralanov"] Romy, I have never said you have to listen to only one channel during your regular listening sessions. I just mentioned it is the most difficult TEST to pass for any system, including your Macondo. Of course you will listen a...

The Super Melquiades Amplifier is essentially the 3 parallel running Melquiades amplifiers optimized for driving my Macondo Acoustic System, with line-level or inner-stage filters. This SET uses a full 6C33C at LF output and ½ of 6C33C for HF and MF ...

I need to say that I miss my Macondo sound, not the sound
itself but an ability to push a button and have predictably good sound. However,
from the place where I'm staying now, I feel that to have just Macondo result
is not enough for me. I would ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do feel that a playback sound has to be built first...The way how I trained myself is to disconnect channels. While I was making Macondo, installing it, moving it and experimenting with it I was frequently disconnecting c...

I always say do not stress them they do not like it and I always hate third bass. The 10” are particularly are fragile with a power handling of a few watts. It is applicable pretty much to any lover MF driver that pushed to work with the “open b...

[quote user="haralanov"] Some time ago I also thought my upper bass channel is flawlessly integrated, but when I added another, symmetrically arranged UB driver (over my WR driver), I quickly understood the new configuration is MUCH more expressive a...

Very interesting company and their GAMMA model looks very promising.

It is essentially the very same Macondo idea - as I told when you go for 4-5 ways horn loaded installation then there are not a lo...

Recently Macondo was altered and converted into… nope, not into a Super Macondo :-) but in a “Larger Macondo”. The Super Macondo it will be when I resolved how to implement time delays along with a low pass flirter at midbass horn, that would enable ...

[quote user="Kcct82"] Hey guys, I bought the Goto 505TT with S150 horn brand new over 2 years ago. Guess what? I'd still be in sonic shit if I followed the 200-1000hz "recommendation". The 505TT does not perform well below 400hz and when I final...

Hi Romy,Just thinking out loud here, but I have been listening to my mono DSET/Macondo for quite a while now and recently changed back to my old acoustic system so that I could poke around in the DSET innards for a little while. The old system (in s...

Last week I have written an article: “Upperbass preoccupation and Vitavox S2 driver” where I ran over some my thoughts how the specific sonic virtues of Vitavox S2 driver allow to get an “interesting” upper bass from an upper bass channel, even thoug...

Yesterday I woke up and suddenly I feet liking to convert my second Super Milq in 6-chennals Super Milq. I kind of did not want to touch it for almost 2 month and yesterday it “got” me. So, I started: took all the unnecessary 3-chennals Super Milq gu...

Spending some time listening carefully my new setup after fine-calibration I recognize some inaccuracies in my previous comments and some mistakes of my original objectives. Here are some observations I would like to make. If some of my observati...

It was exactly how as I imagined - the Injection Channel worked very-very well. The electricity was good, close to wonderful. I calibrated everything and decided to spend a few hours just listening some tonally complex things. The Injection Channel m...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still, I did not mention the most important thing about my new midbass horn. This most important and the most astonishing new characteristic of Sound I did not pursue and I got it purely accidently. I did not talk ab...

My sub-bass amp is back but I am not sure if I am comfortable with it. The guy from QAudio did a wonderful job to fix my modified B-2 power amp and now I have my amp for ULF with passive line level filter in it. So, Now I have two identical, fully fu...
