[quote user="Romy the Cat"] There were some educational for myself observations made, in some way saying something about this specific DHT, in some way saying something about Melquiades’ single stage version and the Melquiades’ full-range two-stages ...

I had a few days ago a conversation if I even move out from my current listening room. The conversation was purely hypothetical and it led me to think about hypothetic abstract perfect listening room. I very much enjoy my current listening room and t...

In reference to the post Agile Room Acoustic Treatment? in the “Romy The Cat's new Listening Room” thread.I am slowly contemplating to practice SOME reinforcement of live instruments in my listening room. It is mostly string chamber group. Even thos...

I think the problem starts when we short circuit the process. It is easy enough to sell "the Best" of anything and still get mediocre results. If we are looking for a modular approach to DSET/speaker, then the results are also best guess because ther...

Last week I took the Vitavox drivers from the Midbass
horns. This week most likely I will take
the compression chambers from the installed horns. If I even redo the midbass
horns then to have the custom-fit compression chambers will be 30% of the...

What is the most interesting is how all those completely lucid commentaries about Dannoy are off the mark in my view. Do not get me wrong, there is nothing expressed here is bad but all it describes how to get a “balanced” sound Dannoy configuratio...

I think that the discussion of extending response (especially LF) is the WRONG direction. We know that the Macondo/Melquiades setup had more extension and integration than is even possible with Dunnoys. I am not sure why this is even getting so many ...

Eventually the Second Milq is converted to work with new room and new midbass horn. Not I have the complete Melquiades/Macondo setup that is more or less optimized to work in my need room. The Sound is very pleasant and not is the fun time starts. No...

el`Ol, I have written about Ascendo System’s approach somewhere but what Ascendo does and what I say are different. I always stressed the anal retentive time aliment but I never stressed the level of precision that I am stressing it now. You might ma...

[quote user="Markus"]Personally, if I wanted to get a 2nd system, I wouldn't want a less good version of the main system. If they both share an approach to audio, you'll always hear the 3- or 4-ness when you are used to the same thing in 10. I'd try ...

A guy visited me today and while I was playing to him some music an ides stroke me: how to make ULF channels invisible? I have given birth to a ridicules ides to make huge, 40hz, no-cheating horns in time-aligned position absolutely invisible in list...

I had many interesting listening experiences while I used the Water Drop’s Macondo. I would try to surmise briefly the sonic consequences of the Water Drooping. “Me” and “briefly”, would it be possible? Well, where did you see a Jewish boy who refuse...

[quote user="oxric"]Whilst as Romy points out, the room might well be on the small side, it has a very high ceiling (say 4.5 m) that in my mind always presents fabulous opportunities. [/quote] I have a second opinion about the size of the room. My in...

I am continuing evolving with my ULF application. The IslandPink’s question if my ULF affecting various types of music sound kind of funny. Would my answer to be predicable? I a bit release the pressure from ULF. The way I use ULF allow to chalks the...

It is truly exciting time in my Macondo/ Melquiades biography. The 6-chennal Super Melquiades is done and fully operational. The 6-chennals of left Macondo speaker have build to the 6-chennal Milq. It “works” fine, not it is time to make it to sound ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] When things are good (mind clear, etc), actively listening to music, giving my attention to music and nothing else, will result in a mental voyage through space and time that is every bit as engaging as the best film….[/q...

Looking at different properties and trying to in my mind to arrange the setting in my new listening room I have concluded the absolute minimum dimensions of the room. In case the midbass horns are NOT in the room, the room has over 12” or a cathe...

This is an interesting metal exercise – what would be the most beneficial for audio public and what would be “signaturial” for a manufacturer. Since the company do not turn the horn as most of the people do but use CNC machine then it would be very i...

I came across an article:http://www.ultrahighendreview.com/enigmacoustics-sopranino-super-tweeter-review that introduced electrostatic tweeter that might be interesting. The company has a web site that is to unpleasant to reread/navigate: http://www....

I'm kind of wondering what is going on. The sound I'm getting now from Remedios is truly nothing special, it is very rich for a typical sound of 10" red driver. I might play with baffle, perhaps I will be able to get compression under control, even I...

The more I play with me room the more I fell in love with it. As I mentioned before there are so many truly perfect features in the room that I very frequently note that if I build the listening room from scratch according to my own design then very...

It was as a year with a 2 major of audio events: New listening room, New Midbass horns, New ULF channel. It took almost 6 months to get any more or less reasonable sound in my new listening room, not that I was working so long on the room but rather ...

I never thought that it will be so much fun to demolish my listening room. Right after the Labor Day my contractor starts to rip up the carpet and lay down the quarter sawn parquet. I will be at Cape during the weekend, so I have preparing the room n...

Last night, after making the post above I spent a lot of time moving speakers and adjusting the location of sweet spot. Macondo still is not fine time-aligned but well enough to do what I need it to do. I generally was able to get some more or less a...

TH,Avoiding mistakes is something that we would like to do. It saves time and money BUT unfortunately the science of building loudspeakers is based on specs, not „Tone“ or „Sound“. Being an engineer can help make beautiful drawings but we all learn t...

[quote user="rowuk"] As pitch increases, the palette of color decreases. [/quote] Ok, I think I begin to understand the key to the attraction that I experienced last September. I literally took me over a year, and the conclusion is certainly not a de...

I spoke recently with a friend of my and was trying to describe the sound of my midbass horns. I said that if Wagner was able to have his custom Bayreuth Tubas then why I am not able to have my Bruckner Midbass horns. I kind of like the metaphor that...

Hi Romy, As a recent convert to horn-speakers I have greatly enjoyed trawling through your website and I have learnt plenty not only about horns but also about questioning my own motives and the desired end result of a possible "from scratch" spe...

Last night and this morning I have been comparing my favourite SS preamp with gain and the breadboarded 10y. I've been using my dac with its low 1.125Vrms voltage output as the source because I know what it is capable of and know its (lack of) sound...
