We have a nice storm in New England, in Boston we call it Nor'easter. The snow is falling ~ 2 inches per hour and they promise 2 feet before the end of the show. My town is under snow emergency, the wind up to 50m/h – the whole shabam!

Interesting, Very interesting.
I might make some observations now, claming this recent modification as a success. The minor gain of sensitively certainly did not heart but the major advantage was defiantly the “activation of ceiling”. It is hard to ...

I did not expect that it would be so much work with the new “fundamental channel”. The new 250Hz horns required some help to correct some problems, plus they have to be finished in a civilized fashion and color. However, the biggest problem is positi...

I very slowly started to convert another amp to DHT. For now I listen just left channel and in a striped down mode: no tweeter and no Injection, letting the MF to care the whole upper range. It is interesting to play different tubes in this mode. Fra...

I have thought many times about trying to have an Audio System like Macondo Horn Loudspeaker System and if I could get good result then I will demo it in munich high end show.this is a big project for me because I am not expert and I have no DIY expe...

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...

[quote user="montepilot"] When I have more time I will post my impressions of the mini me system that sits side by side with Macondo. For now I will say that with all Macondo's virtues, mini me may be the David that slays the giant goliath![/quo...

I did some further thinking. I slightly modified the sketch, more or less reflecting the actually dimensions of the elements. The tweeter was too large and the upper horn was too small. The current downing is more reflects the current Macondo f...

Well, this for the tip of multi-layering the vertical panel. I like it a lot. I will allow keeping the mild panel thinner and more “airy” visually. The total high of the thing will be not 8’ for rather somewhere slightly above 6’. Also, I review the ...

I intentionally do not play MiniMe for visitors but not because I not willing to divulge the Doliath’s David status. I know what attracted you in MiniMe and I do agree that for whatever it is the MiniMe an interesting speaker. Well I like it and...

Actually I would be very much disappointed if we develop a relationship that would require sending signals that would make us to leave each other f. alone. I could perfectly comfortable in this setting with recursive girlfriends but I do not feel tha...

It has been a difficult time last 2 months in my family. We went
over job change and we fired a live-in nanny that made some logical thine with
kids difficult. The new nanny we found had to quit in 2 weeks due to her
medical condition, so it was a...

First of all this is not a post about somebody replicated Macondo. I use the colloquialism: “Building Macondo” as a reference to building any “end of the life” acoustic system. Building the proverbial Macondo, going multi-ampling , arranging powe...

I sometimes visit an Australian site and familiarize myself
with progress of “acg” who it trying to build Macondo like acoustic system.

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...

I got yesterday the new Macondo Frame.
As you see I went for a monopod, the strong one and I love a lot what how it turned out to be. What the horns are stuffed into the frame then the frame is unusable at all. The footprint of the frame is very sm...
|

Sure, I’m very much done with Macondo and the late frame is the last straw that I load to this camel. It took 60-7 years come up with where Macondo is now and I do like how it turned out to be. In a week or so I will be done and I will post the pictu...

I have sometimes people asking me questions about Macondo and in very many instances I laugh when I hear them. I wrote up a page where I put all that people need to know about Macondo:

And it is raining today in the Kitty home. Still there is Bach and my Macondo is up. Looking at the picture of my new listing room I see no rain… ...

OK, I disconnected my MiniMe speakers and left only Macondo to care sound in the room. I was listing for the last week Macondo. There is no bass, just upperbass horn at the bottom and The Injection channel a full range. It is OK sound but truly nothi...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]….. sit back and conclude that, yes, damn it, a pair of good straight Mid-Bass horns is exactly what you need. My reasons are of course somewhat selfish... as I won't like being alone in needing a non-digital delay solutio...

OK, the new Macondo frame is over as well. Eventually after 6 years of learning how to make the damn horn speaker to sound good, after numerous incremental successes and failures, stupidity and brightness, moves to wrong direction and mistaken assess...

Last week and this weekend I been spending some considerable amount of time and efforts to do what I intended to do for long time – to finalize the Macondo’s ideas. What I mean is that with all Melquiades progress, the fundamental channel, with Injec...

Last few years my interest in audio “out there” got subsided and nowadays I seldom exposed to new amps, speakers and other product that the industry offers. It only partially might be explained by the fact that I got worn out on the primitive s...
