Yes, Markus, thanks. It is a bit too obvious that Speedysteve7 is not a typical DIYAudio moron. As the evidence: pay attention the Speedysteve7 posted information about his playback and has no following. In contrary of him installation would be 2...

[quote user="Jorge"]I tend to think that we are not copying Romy, but more that he has generated a school of thought on audio and yes horns speakers also.I too have a system following some of the Macondo Axioms, but have used all diferent drivers.As ...

I spent today couple hours starting to search the DPoLS for Macondo. So far I am far from target but the experience was quite amassing. The “new”, properly aligned Macondo, with the bells and Water Drop and whistles does quite well. I have some “test...

Well, this for the tip of multi-layering the vertical panel. I like it a lot. I will allow keeping the mild panel thinner and more “airy” visually. The total high of the thing will be not 8’ for rather somewhere slightly above 6’. Also, I review the ...

I was kind of frustrated with some strange high frequency roll off at my HF and Injection channels. It should not happen. The 9H OPT LL1627 in Injection channels should be good up to 23kHz according to my former tests with a full range Milq and the T...

Actually it is good that you reminded me about the Tannoys as behind my recent paranoia with the “Water Drop” tweeter I forgot about the beauty that blessed my life. I am taking about the “older” Tannoy’s tweeters. What is magnificent sound!
I’m not...

I have posted about some of my recent experience with longer "naked" HF ribbons in Romy's "Water Drop" thread. Here are some observations that relate these drivers back to the ML2s, along with some other recent ML2 trivia.My speakers are listed...

Can you remind me what you do at this forum? I mean, if it is what you like then the BS of a horn-snob like me that being constantly expressed at this site should relay drive you nuts… :-)
Anyhow to be a little bit more serious: my problems with Qua...

[quote user="drdna"] It is NOT that better tubes have no vibration. Instead, the tubes that sound best to me seem to have a sort of springy sound, like the sound of a water drop or the sound of the tabla drum being struck. [/quote]
Interesting. My f...

It is kind of unbelievable in away: I have for a week the same stable sound. That is a good sign. The less good sign that I need to do something else in order to take sound where I would like it to be.
Without doing anything I like what I am gettin...

Here are a number of threads at my site where the concept of “Rightsizing from extreme systems....” is pitched. I looked into the “second” systems not because I was interested in “different sound”. In fact I insist that multiple playbacks in the same...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"].[/quote]What do you know, today is December, that makes me to use the APS Purepower 2000 for one year. I would like to share some observations about the experiences.Since I posted my comments last year a few folks I know b...

Another very interesting observation that I discover today. Paul have mentioned about the improvement of bass. It was not a secret but what a secret, as least for me the TYPE of the bass changing projected to the precession of HF dialing.
OK, ...

[quote user="oxric"] As to why people are interested in the 16 ohms drivers, that is only true of some. The idea is that if the Vitavox S2s are being used, and a single amplifier to drive the different channels, it seems to make sense to go for 1...

This post might be called “the surprise of a new suburban idiot” and it will be not too far from truth. Still the whole idea gives me some much pleasure that I would share it, no matter how pathetic it I for a person who live in suburbs for a w...

[quote user="mark"] just would like to clarify the cost of this ribbon,xfmr. etc.the figure of 2600us$ is that for tweeter pr. only or complete with the xfmr.?i got a quote of 4000 euros +300 ship in jan./08.has the material cost risen dramaticly sin...

Well, what can I say, there is no surprise but the more and more I went into anal-retentiveness of time-aliment the more interesting result I got. Unfortunately with my the frame of my Macondo I was not able to go at the 1/12dB precision, I was able ...

Romy,
Thanks again for your comments.
The RTA and filter mods over the past few days have driven me straight up to the local café to chill out; they have WiFi here (this being France, still no internet at the house)... I will be brief.

I kind if cycle my attention on the notion of compression and it is not accidental. When a few years ago I used the hugely dymick NT51 tweeter in my car I experienced problem to set the right volume and I run the volume control 10 times more fre...

Here's how I'd make a hard rear cover/rear chamber.I describe the process in detail, as it is a good investment of my time; I expect to have a similar condition and requirement for my own mid-bass horns (intended for use with AK-151s).This approach c...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Its still not perfect, and I had the mic 1m from the membrane of the driver (had not yet read Romy's last post where he recommends putting the mic back at listening point). [/quote]
I would like to stress it again that t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Anyhow, I would like to add some addition to my “to do” list for 2008.
8) Try my new experimental AHFS in context of my RAAL “Water Drop” [/quote]
OK, I would like to share with readers of my site a notion is that I am ...

Last nigh I spend a couple hours to listening this thing. Since the amp is done in design phase and the final parts are still in order I can not finish it and close up – it kind of frustrating… Still, it gives opportunities to listen it knowing that ...

[quote user="Andy Simpson"] I thought that eventually you would take my hint.... liquid damping in microphones is something I have given some thought to - especially given that air comes under 'fluid dynamics' - but I will get to my own solution shor...

A friend of mine asked my last night if I feel that PurePower’s Sound as good as a playback during those extremely seldom moments when electrify is good. It was a good question and I feel that it is worth to cover.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In the 2008 I have a few immediate goals:
1) Finalize the 6-chennals version of Super Melquiades and integrate it with Macondo
