The last night I “locked” Thomas to watch Masha and Bear in
my office and spent some time with playback trying to answers a few questions in
my head.
First, I needed to discover what was the source of the ridicules
double-sound that I exp...

Ok, I think it is a good time to deal with room acoustics. All infrastructure problems are set. The Midbass horns are underway; the electricity will be investigated but as now is addressed by PP2000. Macondo and Milqs are inhaled, the system is up. I...

Dealing this new bright PP2000 I was recalibrating Macondo and once again I got a phenomenal demonstration of the power of a Fundamental Channel. Here is a short instruction of how to get THERE...You setup your Fundamental Channel with your crossover...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Here I share some thoughts about what you have shown. I will
share only critical and warning thoughts not because I have nothing but critiques.
All nessesary compliments for your planning come as a default and I do not

I know there are some people who would read the following and will consider that I am out of my mind but it is OK by me. I have no convincing explanations of the phenomena but I might testify that the phenomena does exist - my Injection C...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I am certain that the depth of such an experience .. is very dependant on the system+room; whether something in the system can bring about a more crystalline state of mind… I will be very curious to see how this 7th chann...

Bill, or Romy, what I am missing here is some kind of visual of the setup whether photos or a hand-drawn sketch. I'm intrigued and would like to know more about it, especially in terms of its use with two channel and surround sound. I am using a pa...

In my post to Keith I said: “if I designed the Macondo from scratch now, after knowing about the Injection Channels what I know now, then I might make some thing slightly differently”. Below is my deign idea how I would make the Macondo’s Frame imbed...

Last and this weeks I played mostly LP records. I have only one arm and one needle setup after my move to new room – I did not decide that what final configuration I will have for my analog. Today, while I am in Brahms wave I played the entire box of...

[/quote]In my new room I would like to accomplish my long objective to get for Macondo a new Fundamental Channel. I would like my Fundamental Channel to employ 170-180 Hz slow-opening horn and to use a driver with 350-4...

Josh, this was an excellent
question and I was asking myself the same question a lot during the different stages
of my understanding of the Macondo architecture. I would not call it “resonance
channel” but rather the “injection channel” as it not ...

+++ Perhaps less dynamic behavior of the speaker would be a welcome compromise. Maybe Romys injection channel was the beginning of the end...
Here is 2 very interesting questions. Is less dynamic behavior beneficial or the dynamic how ...

[quote user="drdna"] Fundamentally I think the injection channel and layered sound are different things. The injection channel is designed simply to compensate for the timbral shortcomings of a particular driver. However, because of lobin...

A fascinating commentary Romy. I need to get my act together and implement my midbass channel. Unfortunately, my room is not happy with midbass produced in the vicinity of Macondo with broad cancellations in that range but I think will be fine in a ...

Got today the parts and finalized the “perfect” Bessel passive crossover for my new channel. The coils are regular air-core 2.5H and 7H, the caps are Theta 10uF and the small wirewound tuning resistors that kills ~1.5dB in the channel. When I pu...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I'm not entirely satisfied that this single 40Hz horn was properly loading the room, which has a cubic volume not far from what I would consider ideal for such a system …. However, the horn was sitting in the center o...

And email from a site’s visitor:….
“And for my full-range Melquiades, should I still try and build the original version or wait to see result of what you are working on now?”
This is a complicated question about 2-stage Melquiades vs. single-stage...

On Friday a guy that I invited long time ago shut me email informing that he should be in Boston this weekend. I have just one freshly cooked 6-ways Super Milq and just right functional Macondo channel. I did not wan to brash him off and I connec...

Here is the idea that I had for the “ultimate bass” for my room. Below is the picture of Macondo one channel as it is now from my listening position. So, if I find a way to deal with the wall edge at my ceiling then I might replace the current 72” w...

Ok the Macondo is all done in new room, including the bass channel. I am uploading the calibration check sheet not as much for you but rather for me. I have been keeping it got years and constantly am loosing it, now I will know where to find it. BTW...

I think it needed to be expended what I mean by “new smart layout of the power cables”. What you run a large system than you have many circumstances when power cables cross signal cables. Not only that. The PDO cables are liquid filled and they do no...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Nope, it has nothing to do nether neither with electro-magnetic drivers nor with classic notion of traducing channels. Think about out the movie “Man in Black” and about the size of the Galaxy … The caT [/quote]:D LOLI'll h...

It was after midnight and I returned from my urban Saturday supper. A pair of the recently born “Melquíadeses” was sitting in the mid of the room, glowing and asking: so what? A sudden necessity of a radical audio sadism attacked me and I...

A few days back a local audio guy come to my place, heard some music and I played and said something that did not expect from his level of audio intelligence. (I wonder if it was the same guy who advised me to write a handbook “How to make friend...

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.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]1)
Since you use the
injection channel, stop using it. The injection channel was a ridiculous idea
with exceptionally beneficial results, but now I have found it better. You have
two Tannoy Red 10 drivers. Use the HF...

de Charlus, this “are not afraid of cabinet resonance per se” is complicated subject. I have raised the topic in the “How to USE “Resonating Oops” in loudspeakers” thread:
