In the Thread: Macondo 2.0?
Post Subject: Macondo 2.0?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 11/18/2022
I need to say that I miss my Macondo sound, not the sound
itself but an ability to push a button and have predictably good sound. However,
from the place where I'm staying now, I feel that to have just Macondo result
is not enough for me. I would love to have that “magic” and that sense of intimacy
that I got from my Dannoy experiment last September. So, thinking about all of
it I am contemplating a project of Macondo 2.0. the idea is to keep the base of
Macondo to get rid Injection channel and get rid of upper mid-range frequency
channel, tweeter and substitute them with one Tannoy Red driver in absolute proximity
with Vitavox MF Chenal crossed at let say 100Hz. The Red might have a passive
radiator that look behind the Macondo and this way I might be able to deal with
base phase problem I had with Dannoy. The idea is to have S2 driver to run
along with Red and letting the S2 to handle dynamic and let the Red to handle
tone. Sort of acoustic injection with absolute phase alignment between Red and
S2. This is very interesting idea, and I would love to experiment with it. Another
very interesting subject is the fact the I would need to drive it with different
amplification: S2 with my Milq DSET and Red with Yamaha B2/B3. It should not be
a good idea generally as the SS with SET did not work together but there is an
interesting aspect in the story. The people who pushed the VFET claimed that
the VFET has the same electrical characteristics as a … tried. I wonder if all
of it might work out together. I might put in the S2 a metal diaphragm to add some
virility on S2 part to compensate the Red’s lushness. I am very fascinated how
all of it works might work together…
