A few days back I visited an audio person who demonstrated to me his experiments with extreme lateral deviation of souses. Regardless if I agree or not what he was doing or trying to do the demonstration has an unexpected result. One day I was driv...

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...

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. ...

This idea keeps to fascinate me.

and I really would like to try and to see what might happen. I’ have decided of move this task on my levels of priorities as something that I wo...

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 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...

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...

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...

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 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 ...

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...

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...

[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...

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...

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...

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 ...

user="rowuk"]I think about Romys "break" with Macondo - as
well as his description of the non-scientific room position of the Dunnoy - in
principle, almost random everything - except for the analysis of previous

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...

Romy:I did not know you sat less than 6 feet from Maconda.Can I ask why you chose this position? Was it required by your room (it is small room, Macondo is big system) or was there some auditory effect you were searching for and found 5.8 ft away?...

I bet it's one of the infrequent posters on this site system . I also find 2khz crossover for td2001 not problematic. Very nice and I imagine it's hard to loose that DIY look in setups like that. Especially when the speaker is undergoing constant cha...

+++ Tannoy-style ("Laid Back"): dampen the distortion relative to the music; these listeners can tolerate less distortion, but also need less of the musical signal to be satisfied.I wish I would agree was that what I'm hearing from Dunnoy I might ful...

you be the judge of what people understand or not understand about the Macondo post, I wont insist either. In fact you often seem to not understand replys, such is the issue of communication at times.It's simply that -sometimes- a short on the point ...

Hm, this is $25K. I wonder what produces sound in there - a loudspeaker? If so, than would LOVE to connect it to Macondo and see what happen. I need to admit that in all of those videos the D-pianos do sound like shit but the concept is very interes...

Dear All,Thank you all for your assistance, especially Romy, whose information has been particularly interesting. I have been in contact with Jeffrey Jackson, with whom I have discussed my driver preferences, and arrived at what is essentially only a...

[quote user="Rewind"]Hi, I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. [/quote] OK, but it is not how I feel about the service of injection...

The only advantage your pilot could have over Macondo is omnidirectionality, no? So why not suspend from the ceiling something like this: ...

Let's just pretend for the moment that you haven't heard the particular TAD driver Kevin is using , and consider the possibility that for at least for some portion of its frequency range, it has a tone similar to the S2 - perhaps it uses an alnico ma...

It is over 2 weeks as the crossover parts for my Altec 21S modification are sitting in my house. It would be 30 min fix but I still did not do it – juts lazy. I want for how to keep the Altec low path crossover but I the crossover for MF I would like...
