Believe of not but after much of experiments I was able to find today a phenomenal “Oops” seething for my speakers. The configuration works very well and functionally it is very friendly and flexible. On the negative side it requires one more dedicat...

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...

I just posted yeastoday the post above and have got already a few emails asking about the “new” ways that I am planning to use S2. OK, let me to explain what is going on.
The default Vitavox S2 driver comes with thier default aluminum diaphragm with...

It is a pity you can't be persuaded to get an OEM like http://www.meixingaudio.com/ to make the Melquiades commercially for you. Perhaps it might be possible when Jessie starts making the Macondo......

Romy, are you saying McMasters-Carr does not have anything you can cut and/or bend and/or punch to your requirements?Otherwise, you know my view on the sealed LF; they just soak power, so why not give it to 'em (and then some!)?That ought to about pu...

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...

I think this topic is very very interesting to me and it is a opportunity those 90% audiophiles (like josh) think more about their objectives .I have pointed it many times in my weblog that romy recommendations (both methods and components) can not h...

user="mats"]I’d like to pick up on one thing the visitor noted.
He said Macondo was able to “dissect” the most “complex and
dramatic” Bruckner.
To me, this is a stunning achievement. In my humble attempts
at resolving the most

Those things are made to impress enough to buy whatever the maker of CD is selling. I'm glad you posted that review on DIY-audio although out of respect for the host it would be nice if you had posted it here first and out of politeness asked if you...

Well, the points you bring up are valid but as anything else it all highlight problems with people not with equipment. I am not sure that I am glad with my decisiveness and sanity in MiniMe projects. I was trying to rationalize the MiniMe idea in the...

Here is pretty much the idea that I had – a very tall line array with min footprint and with more of less corrected timing error by angling the front baffle. At the picture below the curvature of positioning of Macondo channels is not depicted (for s...

From the Macondo to the Celestion SL600 !I cannot think of two speakers that could be more different in terms of design philosophy and (I imagine) the presentation of music.If you can get any noise out of the SL600's I'll be interested to hear what y...

Seven years back and I finished my former installation I made
up a Macondo calibration check sheet. I
do not think that anybody care about it and I did it purely for myself.

Amir, I think there are still "acceptable" "commercial" components (including speakers) still "out there", depending on how they are used; it's just a matter of finding and getting ahold of them. In any case, building up an integrated, synergistic sy...

Thanks a lot, rowuk.I do read the Macondo axioms again when I got your suggestion. We never think our system is a perfect one, we will and must do our best to improve our system and correct flaws.Hope to keep in touch and get more suggestion from u.B...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Simply beyond any criticism. The Purepower bass was something that sold me on the very first unit in June 2007. The very first Purepower 1050 had the same type of bass. What kind bass? Well, if juts did not “improve” it and...

Not so easy to find, maybe, but how about a main rug with a narrower width? I would also mention a wider rug, but the weight of Macondo on might ruin the pile...If you had more of these rugs, would you be allowed to lap them in places, as many (with...
