Yes, I did not realize that the price of £225 is for a PAIR; usually price is given per driver. I guess the £225 per pair is not and of the world but I still insist to pay 65 cents per 1 Euro as it use to do… In past I never dealt with Fane direc...

I did not know that Lynn Olson and Earl Geddes involved in Levinson’s operation. With all disagreement with those individuals I thought that they are smarter than to deal with Mark Levinson. I hope they did not give him any money and did not accept ...

No-one is criticising the ML3 (amplification) product. We are discussing the concept and the applicability of such products, i.e. the ultimate limitation of an amplifier called upon to work from DC to daylight and, accordingly, drive a loud...

A site visitor pointed me out the I never made an intended write up about the David Haigner horns. I just forgot about them… OK, let analyze David’s claims and his Alphahorn design. I would say right the way that I do not like the Alphahorn’s id...

Hm, I like the Cessaro thinking a few years back and I love it now. A very good move with this “Liszt” loudspeakers, even I am against the idiotic tendency to grand to the audio element the composers names. Take a look what Cessaro did. A tweeter, p...

[quote user="Scott L"]I had to take
pause before I answered here; realizing in an almost shocking manner [that] I
don't listen to many commercial loudspeakers.
I am largely involved in the (gasp) DIY
community, where it's also very often done inc...

Since I know about a few ongoing attempts out there by different people to build Melquiades I would like to share with some of my observations regarding corrections, simplification and possible modifications of Melquiades amplifier.

[quote user="Paul S"] It took ~3 1/2 hours for the system to charge up and start working as a system again, and then I tried Romy's suggestion to try dropping current (and raising vlotage) on the ML2s. I experimented again and stuck with the 16...

Hm, it is complicated. In context of ported enclosure (or passive radiator) it is imposable to talk seriously about the box resonance as a speaker/driver has no own sound but rather a summation of zillion resonances, aftersounds and the rest dirt tha...

Yes, Paul you are right. In my chaise for “cosmetics” the economic aspect jumped out of my aim. The last design would require 6 panes for a par of the loudspeakers it is might be pricey. McMaster quotes a steel panel of 3/8” by 6” by 8” somewhere nea...

I cannot help but burst out into laughter everytime I read one of your posts. Always enjoyable, thank you.
I look forward to hearing the Magico loudspeakers at the show. Do
you know if they can repair teeth also, so I can send horribl...

I bought those tweeters for Be Yamamura (second hand from Paul at Wembly Loudspeakers, in London) I also took Be to Heathrow Airport to take a plane to Brazil to install one of his truly superb VT4c stereo amps! It was the morning of a great wind ...

As many know I sine move in the new house do not have a fully functional Macondo and most of the time I listen Dunlavy with SS amp. Melquiades sit in there, collecting dust , waiting what it will be called to duty again. This weekend it was called an...

Mr Edwards (I think that's your name):I find the issue you raise, rather inadvertently, a very interesting one. As a matter of habit, I come across a lot of people, a bit like yourself, who know absolutely nothing about audio, and in fact are dea...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

I told before that I have high respect to Brian Cheney (because of multiple reasons) but I do not agree with his loudspeakers, where he tries to use ribbons wider range then they should be... Brian recently announced his new model VMPS RM V60. Since ...

Loudspeakers. For whomever who follows my dairies on this site and whoever has any real understanding what makes a horn-loaded loudspeaker to sound good it is know that Macondo Acoustic System is not juts the result of my DIY efforts or the John Hasq...

Here is the general specification for the parts that I used. The selection of the parts implies some liberty of course. It will be your amp after all, not mine - do whatever you wish. In some case when I feel that requirement is critical I will stres...

Roger Skoff: “A cool half million dollars for a pair of speakers! Certainly impressive, but is it sustainable” Well, the question about sustainability and reference to the Death Spiral is a good one. However I have more interesting question to ask: w...

Amir, I told of my own approach to wall power in other threads. Basically, I tried to make my gear as tolerant of AC variations as I could without simply smoothing everything over. My DAC runs on battery power. I modified the power supply and changed...

Firstly are your observations regarding the ZH270 relating to comparisons with other push pull designs or SET's?
Secondly could you explain which characteristics of the recording are destroyed, and what mechanism David Berning uses to acheive this...

Rowuk, yesterdays I was attending the Jennifer Koh concert (a stunning concert BTW) and no, I was not thinking about you. Still, suddenly an interesting argument comes to my mind that a bit defeats your notion of standing waves. A standing wave is f...
