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...

We have a nice storm in New England, in Boston we call it Nor'easter. The snow is falling ~ 2 inches per hour and they promise 2 feet before the end of the show. My town is under snow emergency, the wind up to 50m/h – the whole shabam!

I very slowly started to convert another amp to DHT. For now I listen just left channel and in a striped down mode: no tweeter and no Injection, letting the MF to care the whole upper range. It is interesting to play different tubes in this mode. Fra...

Last few years my interest in audio “out there” got subsided and nowadays I seldom exposed to new amps, speakers and other product that the industry offers. It only partially might be explained by the fact that I got worn out on the primitive s...

I intentionally do not play MiniMe for visitors but not because I not willing to divulge the Doliath’s David status. I know what attracted you in MiniMe and I do agree that for whatever it is the MiniMe an interesting speaker. Well I like it and...

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...

First of all this is not a post about somebody replicated Macondo. I use the colloquialism: “Building Macondo” as a reference to building any “end of the life” acoustic system. Building the proverbial Macondo, going multi-ampling , arranging powe...

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...

I got yesterday the new Macondo Frame.
As you see I went for a monopod, the strong one and I love a lot what how it turned out to be. What the horns are stuffed into the frame then the frame is unusable at all. The footprint of the frame is very sm...

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...

Interesting, Very interesting.
I might make some observations now, claming this recent modification as a success. The minor gain of sensitively certainly did not heart but the major advantage was defiantly the “activation of ceiling”. It is hard to ...

Romy,I'm not sure how "transparent" you find the Lavry etc AD/DAs, but since you have them, it might not be difficult to throw in an adjustable digital delay; eg these chips from TI http://focus.ti.com/paramsearch/docs/parametricsearch.tsp?family=ana...
|

The system is still very much a work in progress, but I have come to the conclusion that the concept as such is very, very good. It's only up to me to make it sound as well as I know it is capable of. Making and fine-tuning the crossover might take m...
