Hi Romy,That looks very promising. I can't wait to hear your impressions once it has been 'trained' to work in Macondo.rgds,Guy...

Going over the floor project and temporary removing the Macondo from the room I am considering to charge the color of Macondo’s frame. The Macondo’s frame is black not, so the horns. I consider to keep the horns back as they are not but to re-paint t...

I made the move toward to what I think might be done with Injection Channel for my Macondo. In the picture below is a new home for the 10-incher Red. The box is done interestingly. The front baffle is 1” MDF all the rest is 3/4n if a regular cheap pl...

Regarding constructive criticism, is there any chance of you explaining why you feel the installation is mortally compromised Romy? In order to be constructive, an explanation is required otherwise it simply qualifies as childish insults in my book. ...

If the reason for the passive radiator is that you want to stop interaction between Macondo and MiniMe, I fail to see the sense. The passive radiator is a replacement for the port. If the port causes you problems, so will the passive radiator, assumi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I have to admit thigh that I have had in my room the First Watt amp….[/quote]Do you mean the F3? How did it sound with the Macondo?Incidentally, I gather a higher power version of the F3 is in the works, and the existing d...

Did you find that instead of resurrecting your interest it finished it off and its now Bruckner all the way? Or did recent changes in the Macondo bass config reveal something new?Ok, no idea......

I have been pitching about the superior importance of time alignment for years. It is not that I violently insist that people have their channels time-alignment. We kind of free people and everyone do whatever they want. Still, I exercise for years m...

I have so many great original ideas about the new listing room that it truly itching to make my heads duty with this project. I probably shall not run my mouth until I close the house but it is so tempting to think about it!This thered about the ...

This idea keeps to fascinate me.

Hi Jarek,Apologies for missing your post.To answer your questions:(1) Yes and no. I've bundled the preamp into its new chassis (that I made from scratch) and it does not sound as good as before. There is a grounding problem with the new installatio...

I was slowing mingling the conversion of the power supplied of my second Super Milq from 3 channels into 6 channels and I ask myself: is anything in that amp is made in the way that would allow me to close it up and never review it. Sure if I move in...

With exception to the fact that I have no bass my new room did not give me a lot that I feel might be qualified as strange. I still do not know this room as good as I knew my old room but I will be there, it is a derivative of time. It is not tha...

There are so many things that pop into mind when reading this thread - the "expectations" of a visitor, Roman knowing before the guest is even there what the outcome will be and then for both sides "proof".Yes, anyone who even has heard of Macondo an...

I know you do not want to do it, but it is a shame not to do it: actually manufacture a version of the Macondo with an integrated dset, cut down enough (say three channels) to make it feasible while still demonstrating the advantages of the dset idea...

I have an opinion, admittedly "based" on only a few personal experiences, that basement rooms are very good for developing low bass response. It has something to do with the absolute rigidity of the majority of the room boundaries, again just in my ...

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...

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...

Here is pretty much the idea that I had – a very tall line array with min footprint and with more of less corrected timing error by angling the front baffle. At the picture below the curvature of positioning of Macondo channels is not depicted (for s...

Seven years back and I finished my former installation I made
up a Macondo calibration check sheet. I
do not think that anybody care about it and I did it purely for myself.

Amir, I think there are still "acceptable" "commercial" components (including speakers) still "out there", depending on how they are used; it's just a matter of finding and getting ahold of them. In any case, building up an integrated, synergistic sy...

Below is how my midbass horns feel in my listening room user normal lighting if evening listening. The horn look a bit too dart but they are the same density as the walls in the room. The horns feel darker because the Triangular wall is all white, fr...

Thanks a lot, rowuk.I do read the Macondo axioms again when I got your suggestion. We never think our system is a perfect one, we will and must do our best to improve our system and correct flaws.Hope to keep in touch and get more suggestion from u.B...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Simply beyond any criticism. The Purepower bass was something that sold me on the very first unit in June 2007. The very first Purepower 1050 had the same type of bass. What kind bass? Well, if juts did not “improve” it and...

Many thanks Romy, that was just the info for which I was hoping. You could say that Macondo is a base 8 audio system: 8' tall, 8' apart and 8' listening distance.Regards,AnthonyEDIT: The dual 15" midbass boxes look neat and are smaller than I would...
