A local guy asked me that since my low-powe, full-range Milq is sitting in my storage and I do not use it then he would like to try it: he has 1110dB sensitive speakers and SET and PP amps. I figure out that if I give the Milqs to him now then I wil...

Hi Romy,One my channels started emitting intermittent loud popping sounds, once every few minutes or so, and on inspection the current (set at 240mA) was in excess of 300 (my meters top out at 300). Assuming it is a tube problem I replaced the 6c33c,...

First of all: I have moved this thread into the Milq Forum…..
[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I'm going to try and build a Melquiades type amplifier (with some help from friends) following the advice given above to make it as simple as possible.&n...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, you have not recently spoken as much about the FR version of Melquiades as you have about the "multi-channel' versions, albeit for obvious reasons; but have you tried the FR version on, say, a ~"FR" 3-way system that makes ...

[quote user="Paul S"] The "calm HF" effect is something I have long sought but seldom experienced from repro, and I have blamed the amps as much as the ribbons. Mere HF extension is not enough. Hard to say whether the amp or the rib...

One of the most frustrating things in hi-fi, IMO, is using the wrong speakers for your room and/or the wrong speaker/amp pairing. It is impossible to get anything right or to even get started if you don't get this right (enough). For exam...

[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 ...

[quote user="from email"] …. I have the valves etc. for the Melquiades but have not built it yet. I have begun thinking about the preamplification stage. Right now it is just purely passive. Is this not the optimal input for the Melquiades? [/quote] ...

Hi,Every so often, someone contacts me and asks for some information about my plans (presently on hold) to build Melquiades Full-Range or D-Set, and whether I have a list of parts etc. My experience of trying to find a builder for Melquiades has not ...

I set up today the framework in which I will be testing my Vitavox 15 inchers. It is a wooden frame from my bathtub with a driver screws to it, the massive sliding doors that squash the driver from both sides and cardboard that cover the wholes. This...

[quote user="Jordi"] If I build them ... I'm going to use different cases. Man, the one's shown are U-G-L-Y. [/quote]
To my view the chassis for the full-range Melquiades is not ugly, in fact I do appreciate the design immensely, functionally a...

Thank you both for your thoughts. The space is interesting: not a cellar, but a sleeping area just big enough to fit a super king size bed, with one of the walls being half open, so it would not pressurize quite like a fully sealed room. Further, it ...

I really do not what is gong on there and why. Thorsten's comment that line-level crossovers do not act like speakers’ level crossover confirms what I feel and what some other people suggested me. Yes, the reactance of the crossover component, the in...

Hi Fellow Forumers,This is my first newbie post :-) Do any of you have any experience with running a Lundahl 1627 in a Full Range Melquiades with Avantgarde Duo Omega speakers?The other options are to get some custom Amorphous OPT's <50R 350mA 8:1...

Finalizing parts ordering for full range Melquiades and I have one thing with is unclear to me, the plate to grid resistor on the 6E5PIs R23 50R is this correct ?There is another R23 in the driver power supply .http://www.goodsoundclub.com/PDF/Me...

Good points Roman. Thanks!!. I already decided that I'll build dual channel amp with those "crappy 300b's"(as I already spent my winter shoes and vacations on them) tubes and full range Melquiades when funds allow. Did you say "mid-bass" in the cont...

Merely the horn-loaded combination of an S2 and a Fane 8M, driven by a full range Melquiades, is a world away from any ordinary speaker. It requires musical intelligence to arrive at that conclusion in the first place, iterating over a million possib...

I am very much do not like the current state of my mind about the single-stage Milq. Let me to explain….
In 2001-2002 I spend some time trying to assess the sonic influence of PS to sound. After making numerous tests and prototypes I concluded that ...

Why can't you just stack them inserting new horn in between midbas and midhorn and keeping your original arrangement? Since your midbass sits on the floor, the tweeter still should be on resonable hight.I would transform your full range Melquiades fo...

I am always curious about those silly lines.The 230V 165mA point for the LF sections does not look so bad to me... maybe a bit of expansion effect, which could be good for counteracting some evil within the LF drivers.If I understand right,...

This is a synergy horn, a topology that Danley has a patent on, I believe, and certainly the most expertise. There have been extensive discussions on this site about it, including Romy's theoretical objections to the idea. In a synergy configuration ...

First of all it was quite interesting and quite educational. Second of all it answers no questions but rather creates more questions. Here is what I try to compile some my observations and thoughts on the subject.
