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...

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… ...

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

I think this topic is very very interesting to me and it is a opportunity those 90% audiophiles (like josh) think more about their objectives .I have pointed it many times in my weblog that romy recommendations (both methods and components) can not h...

user="mats"]I’d like to pick up on one thing the visitor noted.
He said Macondo was able to “dissect” the most “complex and
dramatic” Bruckner.
To me, this is a stunning achievement. In my humble attempts
at resolving the most

Those things are made to impress enough to buy whatever the maker of CD is selling. I'm glad you posted that review on DIY-audio although out of respect for the host it would be nice if you had posted it here first and out of politeness asked if you...

I just posted yeastoday the post above and have got already a few emails asking about the “new” ways that I am planning to use S2. OK, let me to explain what is going on.
The default Vitavox S2 driver comes with thier default aluminum diaphragm with...

It is a pity you can't be persuaded to get an OEM like http://www.meixingaudio.com/ to make the Melquiades commercially for you. Perhaps it might be possible when Jessie starts making the Macondo......

Romy, are you saying McMasters-Carr does not have anything you can cut and/or bend and/or punch to your requirements?Otherwise, you know my view on the sealed LF; they just soak power, so why not give it to 'em (and then some!)?That ought to about pu...

Nope, wrong guess. I see no problems of any kind with my upper range of S2 driver. It would also hardly be related to the subject of the linked thread. BTW, I wonder of someone were be able to deduce what the 7th Macondo channel might be. I see someo...
|
|
I need to establish some kind of prize for a person who would guess what the characteristics of the channel I am planning to will add to Macondo. Assure you it is worth guessing as the result might be orders of magnitude more impactful then the effec...

Well, the points you bring up are valid but as anything else it all highlight problems with people not with equipment. I am not sure that I am glad with my decisiveness and sanity in MiniMe projects. I was trying to rationalize the MiniMe idea in the...

Seven years back and I finished my former installation I made
up a Macondo calibration check sheet. I
do not think that anybody care about it and I did it purely for myself.

Amir, I think there are still "acceptable" "commercial" components (including speakers) still "out there", depending on how they are used; it's just a matter of finding and getting ahold of them. In any case, building up an integrated, synergistic sy...

Below is how my midbass horns feel in my listening room user normal lighting if evening listening. The horn look a bit too dart but they are the same density as the walls in the room. The horns feel darker because the Triangular wall is all white, fr...

Thanks a lot, rowuk.I do read the Macondo axioms again when I got your suggestion. We never think our system is a perfect one, we will and must do our best to improve our system and correct flaws.Hope to keep in touch and get more suggestion from u.B...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Simply beyond any criticism. The Purepower bass was something that sold me on the very first unit in June 2007. The very first Purepower 1050 had the same type of bass. What kind bass? Well, if juts did not “improve” it and...

Not so easy to find, maybe, but how about a main rug with a narrower width? I would also mention a wider rug, but the weight of Macondo on might ruin the pile...If you had more of these rugs, would you be allowed to lap them in places, as many (with...

Many thanks Romy, that was just the info for which I was hoping. You could say that Macondo is a base 8 audio system: 8' tall, 8' apart and 8' listening distance.Regards,AnthonyEDIT: The dual 15" midbass boxes look neat and are smaller than I would...

My new listening room is progressing and it is turning quite
nice. I put the screen, install the projector, find the furniture configuration,
find and install the proper acoustic treatment and did many others small but
important things. The main q...

Well, the more I think about it then more I realized that I would like to try it. I’m contemplating to make 5-6 channels on single-stage Milq: 4 channels for each Macondo channel and 1-2 reserved for any perspective lower bass channel or for perspect...

Thanks for this one Romy, very interesting...it sorta ties together several things that I have been thinking about lately. I guess I am lucky that the Bass Cannons can be run off 9w from the DSET bottom channel and from memory I get about 115dB at 1...
