[quote user="Ronnie"]I'm curious about how you set up your horns in the room.From photos it looks as if they are fairly close together, compared to the wide setting you suggested I try, while our room dimensions are fairly similar?When I started push...

It is very important for the people who consider Macondo cloning is to understand what Macondo is all about. For a superficial or an idiot observer Macondo is the selections of drivers, horns, loading patterns and perhaps amplifiers. In really those ...

[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...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Well I assume you mean the "pros". After this weekend at the Paris Hifi show (first one ever for me), I cannot say that I place much value in what the "pros" might think.
Man, honestly, what crap sound in most every room...

Ending up re-amping my MF channel, I found myself at unexpected situation that I am not completely compostable with Macondo HF. It is not that the HF are bad but they were made to serve the interest of older, slightly softer operating single-stag...

So I am currently working towards this concept for my Macondo (see below) and I have just the Upperbass horns left to turn and prep. I am thinking about how to best integrate the DSET with Macondo and have come up with something like this… Perha...

Hi Romy,Just thinking out loud here, but I have been listening to my mono DSET/Macondo for quite a while now and recently changed back to my old acoustic system so that I could poke around in the DSET innards for a little while. The old system (in s...

[quote user="CO"]But Romy, you also have the different channels in a curved array ? Whats the difference I know your's are time aligned but the Utopias must be as well.[/quote]
Collin, you are correct the Macondo and Utopia implement the same curved...

Last week I have written an article: “Upperbass preoccupation and Vitavox S2 driver” where I ran over some my thoughts how the specific sonic virtues of Vitavox S2 driver allow to get an “interesting” upper bass from an upper bass channel, even thoug...

Recently Macondo was altered and converted into… nope, not into a Super Macondo :-) but in a “Larger Macondo”. The Super Macondo it will be when I resolved how to implement time delays along with a low pass flirter at midbass horn, that would enable ...

I do not know why people go into low-sensitive loudspeaker and they go crazy in order push the last drop out of the class A2 operation. From a different perspective the Macondo’s woofer towers with 97.5dB sensitivity are low low-sensitive loudspeaker...

Amy last night delivered the most brutal insult of my playback

fun to hear them and it is a re...

Lately I have been thinking a lot, trying figure out what I
am and where I would like to go with Macondo. The Macondo base, the horns isle
is still there and I have no motivation to change anything. The conceptualizing
and assembling of what I hav...

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.

[quote user="haralanov"] I think you have found phenomenally good sounding upper bass driver and you are going to build a dedicated quasi-bassreflex channel using it to fill the gap between your line arrays and the upperbass horns... [/quote]

From today’s email:
Question: “…. As my audio system has improved over the years I have found myself continually wanting for something that I could not place my finger on. I suspect that really good sound sytems do too much for our brains and the in...

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...

This is INCREDIBLY load subject. I come to thin realization after
listening my own clip about Bermuda Triangles of Audio. I immediately recorded
a clip about Existentialism in Audio and how the inherence of Macondo to Essentialism
bothered me but ...

I got an email from a site visitor informing me that there us a set of cheap ALE drivers at London Craigslist: http://london.craigslist.co.uk/eld/4435844980.html(copy locally to have it available after the Craigslist posting will be gone) "ALE Acoust...

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 ...

Actually it was not my last design. The very last, the one that I love is below. It has elegance of a sea sail and has some sculptural dynamics. I do like it a lot and the design also take care about all levers and the centers of the masses….

I made some further adjustments, added details to the tweeter and so on. It looks good. Yes, to make this sail will be complicated and price. Not to mention that the thing will be over 6 feet long. I will not start doing it until I have the tweeter i...
