The new IB with Macondo.......

[quote user="rdrysdale"]That is really funny about the Macondo's, I think they are just incredible looking. It's amazing how people have such different likes and dislikes.Rich Drysdale[/quote]Rich, The appearance of the Macond...

Roman wants to "test" other amps on the monitors .It is quite impossible on tri-amped Macondo-maybe he will become a rewiever -heheheh. I can assume that Macondo is so absorbing that it is impossible to just play a background music or work and not to...

On Friday a guy that I invited long time ago shut me email informing that he should be in Boston this weekend. I have just one freshly cooked 6-ways Super Milq and just right functional Macondo channel. I did not wan to brash him off and I connec...

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...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I'm not entirely satisfied that this single 40Hz horn was properly loading the room, which has a cubic volume not far from what I would consider ideal for such a system …. However, the horn was sitting in the center o...

This is about the Focal Utopia TN51 tweeter....
It is hard to imagine not much I like this tweeter, in fact there is something insanely beautiful in this tweeter and from a certain perspective (narrow-certain) I like it even more then the HF o...

[quote user="haralanov"] I think you have found phenomenally good sounding upper bass driver and you are going to build a dedicated quasi-bassreflex channel using it to fill the gap between your line arrays and the upperbass horns... [/quote]

Midbass Horns and Real Estate

OK, this morning I tuned the playback and did some listing, trying to understand what was the problem. Sound was not just bad but it was very strange, it was almost as a mechanical replica of sound. I took my phase meter trying to set horns in ph...

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 ...

After many hours and much efforts I have connected the new 6-channels Super Milq to my 6-channels Macondo, with omission of tweeters for now. I made some measurements and initial adjustments and then was trying to listen it briefly. I did not l...

Anthony,I do not insist that
I have the correct answer as now as my greatest fear that I will have my Remedies

would be ugly if the remarkable success with Dannoy would b...

It has been a difficult time last 2 months in my family. We went
over job change and we fired a live-in nanny that made some logical thine with
kids difficult. The new nanny we found had to quit in 2 weeks due to her
medical condition, so it was a...

user="N-set"] If I read you correctly the big midbass did not release
the "intellectual tension/demand" of Macondo/Milq. Perhaps I'm wrong
or oversimplifying but it seems to me that at least a part of your
"problem" with Macondo is an inca...

Playing with B-2 power amp I made an experiment and instead of loading to it the MiniMe Bass section I loaded the B-2 with Macondo’s bass arrays. I made add-hog attenuator and coil to EQ MiniMe MF with Macondo’s bass and gave some listening. It w...

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...

Back to 2006 I had a thread “Adding one more spherical to Macondo.” The thread itself and the concept that it lead to - the Fundamentals Channel - turned to be a phenomenal success. I know, I know for someone it might appear like nothing but if y...

Eventually the right channel of the last revision of the 6-Channel Super Melquiades is complete. It has the new dedicated power supplies for single-stage amplifiers, the 600V Schottky rectification for 200V line and 1200V Schottky for 400V lines, the...

Finally, it has happened. Sound. Two weeks ago I had a couple of mates help me carry up and install the first DSET on its pedestal on the horn stack. It was quite a bit of effort and three were definitely required for the heavy but delicate operat...

Yes, the "Injection Channel" consists of a pair of Tannoy Reds, used as direct radiators, in sealed enclosures. I would not say that they overly specifically optimized. I did many optimizations equalizing them, filtering them but I never was able to ...

While Dima is cooking the Super Zarathustra I figure out that I would need some test speaker to be able to observe the preliminary results. I would not be able to drive the multi-channel Macondo with a single full range amplifier, so I need something...

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...

Sure, I’m very much done with Macondo and the late frame is the last straw that I load to this camel. It took 60-7 years come up with where Macondo is now and I do like how it turned out to be. In a week or so I will be done and I will post the pictu...

I did not expect that it would be so much work with the new “fundamental channel”. The new 250Hz horns required some help to correct some problems, plus they have to be finished in a civilized fashion and color. However, the biggest problem is positi...

Thank you Romy for saying this very important statement about Macondo topology. I believe that this is very very important and imperative for your numerous readership to "get this." I, for one, have no intention whatsoever of copying your efforts, a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I got the new BSO 88/24 files them briefly listened a few fragments. Generally I do like them and they are nothing like the 320kbps multi-channel WMA that BSO marketed before. My fear that the files might have issues with t...

share only critical and warning thoughts not because I have nothing but critiques.
