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 ...

Dealing more with Sun Audio SV-2A3 kit it amassed me how bad the kit was. The guys made very cheap, in fact I hardly believe that this company has anything to do with Japan – it looks more like K-Mart level of amplifier. I heard a number of very posi...

Jarek, I know exactly
how you feel. There is some magic in 10 Read loaded passively to ScanSpeak
SD1 motor with paper cone. The ScanSpeak with this semi-rubber suspension
are not the neutral drivers but they have very pleasant, at least ty my ears...

I changed the crossovers to the UK ones and made some measurements on my Dannoys. The crossovers are set to the Standard treble mode (I guess that is position 2 on the original Tannoy grey box crossover) and no 3kHz notch filter. Green curve - Le...

[quote user="morricab"] I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resona...

I do not think that magic was gone anywhere, it was just
hiding behind my many stupid actions. I was able recreate that magical sound but
so far whatever I do to navigate it the weather's need to be sonically I am
shutting magic in the butt. it is...

Jessie, I pulled posts from Macondo Axioms thread and encapsulated them onto a new thread dedicated explicitly to your project. I hope you do not mind.

Ok, I do not know what it was: was it DHT, was it 300B, was it some other specifics of this given amp or whatever… but those two aspects that I named: intentional density of colors and randomness of pace are something that I would like to exercise in...

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...

I cannot imagine that I started to work on Macondo over 20 years ago. How are all this time the Macondo axioms coupled with Milq DSET proved to be quite accurate and constantly delivered quite good predictable results. Yes, it is a pain in ...

Romy, sad to hear of your separation. I hope you are ok.
I use one of these to align my horn stacks...
...simple to use, just put it on a camera tripod and wind it up an...

I have so much fun today. I sent the whole kids with their nanny
and mom to a Boston children museum along with ants and with grandparents and deeded
to stay home to work on my listening room. Since I did not have good sound
before I did not parti...

Yesterday Remedies the Beauty was shipped me from my cabinet builder.
Another couple weeks and I will be able to start to play with it, teaching her to sound right. If yo...

Rowuk, there is many implications of the incompleteness. The
systems not being able to verify itself is just one of them, it is how he
proved it. I less care about the proof methodology but the care about the
outcome from it. One of them is that i...

The last night I had truly alarming in experience. I visited
Bill who had my original Dannoys and brought to him my SIT Yamaha B3 amplifier.
He did kind of in the same directions that I did, disconnected his horns and
was experimenting with Danno...

Jarek, my experience affirms that many “listening rooms”
are overdamped, and you can always put a rug or rugs on the wooden flooring
where you want it/them. And I have been able to get good sound in weird rooms.
Basically, regarding rooms, “to...

I laid my hands on WinISD speaker modeling tool, which seems to be quite popular and widely used. It can model passive radiators too.
Here are the simulations of my idea of the Dannoy bass: Scan Speak active + Scan Speak passive in the same bo...
|
So, basically you built a wall on the right side, separating
the listening section from whatever it is behind the wall. A bold move. As the
room become slightly smaller and you lost some time for bass dissipation you might
try to drop the slope at...

Hi Romy
I cant help but not keeping back the smile :D
Come on Romy, we are grown ups, you can not be so angry only because you I don't like your speaker.
It is important to stay open towards the outside world and get inspir...
