Head today to another local audio guy who listen to my new
configuration. The reaction was fascinating. He was asking: what the hell I had
done to midrange? Of course, I did nothing, but the question was very accurate.
A lower mid-range changed ve...

Chris, I certainly did not mean “costs nothing" in the literal sense. I meant that it costs as much as any other driver to make that Feastrex. Come on! If it is an electromagnetic driver then how much does it cost to make a few pounds of core (even i...

"Believe me or not but when we made Macondo the appearance was not a concerns of John an me"So why did you paint it then? :-)Seriously though, it occurred to me that the Henry Ford colour scheme for your kit was was quite deliberate, not fo...

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...

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...

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...

The only advantage your pilot could have over Macondo is omnidirectionality, no? So why not suspend from the ceiling something like this: ...

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...

Whoever followed the following thread:

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...

+++ Tannoy-style ("Laid Back"): dampen the distortion relative to the music; these listeners can tolerate less distortion, but also need less of the musical signal to be satisfied.I wish I would agree was that what I'm hearing from Dunnoy I might ful...

I bet it's one of the infrequent posters on this site system . I also find 2khz crossover for td2001 not problematic. Very nice and I imagine it's hard to loose that DIY look in setups like that. Especially when the speaker is undergoing constant cha...

Dear All,Thank you all for your assistance, especially Romy, whose information has been particularly interesting. I have been in contact with Jeffrey Jackson, with whom I have discussed my driver preferences, and arrived at what is essentially only a...

[quote user="Rewind"]Hi, I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. [/quote] OK, but it is not how I feel about the service of injection...

Hm, this is $25K. I wonder what produces sound in there - a loudspeaker? If so, than would LOVE to connect it to Macondo and see what happen. I need to admit that in all of those videos the D-pianos do sound like shit but the concept is very interes...

you be the judge of what people understand or not understand about the Macondo post, I wont insist either. In fact you often seem to not understand replys, such is the issue of communication at times.It's simply that -sometimes- a short on the point ...

Romy:I did not know you sat less than 6 feet from Maconda.Can I ask why you chose this position? Was it required by your room (it is small room, Macondo is big system) or was there some auditory effect you were searching for and found 5.8 ft away?...

It is over 2 weeks as the crossover parts for my Altec 21S modification are sitting in my house. It would be 30 min fix but I still did not do it – juts lazy. I want for how to keep the Altec low path crossover but I the crossover for MF I would like...

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...

Let's just pretend for the moment that you haven't heard the particular TAD driver Kevin is using , and consider the possibility that for at least for some portion of its frequency range, it has a tone similar to the S2 - perhaps it uses an alnico ma...
