David O. and his son, Igor, open with JS Bach's Concierto in D minor for 2 violins and orchestra, with violinist Rudolf Barshai doing a bang-up job conducting "the orchestra". Of course the Oistrakhs are wonderful, but the "orchestra...

While Dima is cooking the Super Zarathustra I figure out that I would need some test speaker to be able to observe the preliminary results. I would not be able to drive the multi-channel Macondo with a single full range amplifier, so I need something...

I would like to think a little about the monitors. A monitor is kind of bogus name but useful. I usually call a loudspeaker that is not floor standing as a monitor. Sometime they called bookshelf but I hardly image any loudspeaker on a bookshelf…

[quote user="behhl"]As well, it is 15 ohm, and one of the few monitors I can drive with my SET reasonable. All other monitors I know demand so much more amp and I still cannot understand why.[/quote]

I would like to share some ides what I would like to do in my monitor project. This are just intention and I did not try to put it all together. Probably I will do it with the next few weeks.
I’m planning to use the Celestion SL-600 enclosure ...

R,Please excuse me if this is straying from the subject... feel free to move.Anyway, I was in NYC until Wednesday evening, and I assume I know what is motivating you to abandon Macondo/Melquiades in the hot summer months... what I don't understand is...

Roman wants to "test" other amps on the monitors .It is quite impossible on tri-amped Macondo-maybe he will become a rewiever -heheheh. I can assume that Macondo is so absorbing that it is impossible to just play a background music or work and not to...

Ok, it does not have a direct relation to the quality of electricity but I think you might like this little toy, as it is very useful during our electricity straggling. It is very small device that plugs pass-through to your load and this device:

[quote user="Wojtek"]These are not speakers but ear scratchers ,they may however fit Samuel's expectations. Actually from description of required performance almost every Hi-End speaker should fit the bill so I don't understand where is the problem ?...

I got my pair of F120A by-the-book bookshelves a few weeks ago and yes, in the beginning they were very much "compressed" sounding. Things improved a bit over time, but the low treble (which gives instruments their "color") is still recessed. So I ...

The more I think about the more I feel that my old idea to install a timer inside the amp that would measure the time the amps is running was not so bad. I never in fact implemented it but it would be convenient to have it. What I am thinking is that...

[quote user="tuga"] Romy,On the subject of speaker design, I don't think you'll disagree if I say that your "quest for a better monitor" was unsuccessful.You mentionaed at the time that the speakers should respect the following:1) Perform correct in ...

T, also if you knockewd up a small monitor then let me give you a lead that you might or not might find worth attention. I did a few monitors in my past and I have learned that whatever boards or woofs I used it always had sound and partially if you ...

Ok, I think it is it. I close the experimental phase of the MiniMe projects as I have selected and feel comfortable with MiniMe results. The MiniMe Bass section is the very original MiniMe enclosure with the very same drivers as I plane from star...
