I think 8-8-1 will be very good configuration all together.
Make sure it stays sufficiently far from back wall. Point the axis toward to your shoulder and I think it would
be fine setting. Turn off tweeters and Fundamentals channel and set right

I set two multicells with LF-enabled S3 drivers. I set them on the outer side of Macondo MF. Playing with crossover, volume and towing of the multicells I was able to a degree to get the effect that would like to get. The pointing the multicell...

It is amassing what kind of tricks the Fundamentals Channel allows to play. Since my high-frequency Vitavox S2 driver “clicked” recently:

Today I spent a few hours to calibrate the Macondo and Milq.
One of the drivers from Macondo was gunner and the rest was more of less stable.
I did some initial measurements. It was not impressive. I do have approximately
3-4 db deficiency on left...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I will slowly upload, as time permits to write them, different posts on the subject of Ultimate MF Compression Driver. [/quote]This will be a bit controversial subject among the compression drivers users but it is only ...

After finishing my left 6-chennal Melquiades and putting amps and Macondo back as it was intended to be I was expecting that it should be “better” but I did not expect HOW MUCH better it might be. Many aspects of sound are more interesting now,...

After the painstaking setting up of the new Macondo, measuring all distance, paralleling the horns and time-aligning everything, after the setting up a correct level of the new channel’s attenuation (it turned out -2dB was necessary) I spent some tim...

I have set up the right channel. Not calibrated but juts connected everything and did initial phasing. God! I have missed that feeling and I did not have it for a month! I know all of those conversation about having fun from a table radio – that all ...

[quote user="drdna"] This is why the discussion of the Injection channel and the use of the loudspeaker like a resonant musical instrument is so apt. [/quote] Indeed, I did not realized that I shifted my thinking in this thread and an in my general v...

I tried yesterday a test sail. It is a single sail that I ran a bit ahead of listening position. The sail is polyester foamy material, hairy and light: 15 years is about 5 ounces. The effect is generally positive and expected but I have to say that...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Here is the idea that I had for the “ultimate bass” for my room. Below is the picture of Macondo one channel as it is now from my listening position. So, if I find a way to deal with the wall edge at my ceiling then I migh...

Well, never say never and what I said that the Injection Channel is done it meant that it WAS done. I am experimenting now with other way of use Red injection. The application as is at the picture practically had no impact to imaging. However, I need...

ltsv38, it is an interesting solution for lower midrange horn. If I use something like this for Macondo ‘s fundamental channel (but of cause spherical) then I would flip the horn with driver up and run the neck longer to accommodate a slower, expone...

N-set, I wonder why you have any interest about it after screaming that it is 10000% absurd. Anyhow, I am not willing to devalue any information at this point. Partially it is because to protect the idea from the unnecessary attention. All that I ca...

Bill, or Romy, what I am missing here is some kind of visual of the setup whether photos or a hand-drawn sketch. I'm intrigued and would like to know more about it, especially in terms of its use with two channel and surround sound. I am using a pa...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I am certain that the depth of such an experience .. is very dependant on the system+room; whether something in the system can bring about a more crystalline state of mind… I will be very curious to see how this 7th chann...

Dealing this new bright PP2000 I was recalibrating Macondo and once again I got a phenomenal demonstration of the power of a Fundamental Channel. Here is a short instruction of how to get THERE...You setup your Fundamental Channel with your crossover...

I know there are some people who would read the following and will consider that I am out of my mind but it is OK by me. I have no convincing explanations of the phenomena but I might testify that the phenomena does exist - my Injection C...

Ok, I think it is a good time to deal with room acoustics. All infrastructure problems are set. The Midbass horns are underway; the electricity will be investigated but as now is addressed by PP2000. Macondo and Milqs are inhaled, the system is up. I...

It took for me a few weeks

The last night I “locked” Thomas to watch Masha and Bear in
my office and spent some time with playback trying to answers a few questions in
my head.
First, I needed to discover what was the source of the ridicules
double-sound that I exp...

This subject does not bother me too aggressively as I recognize absolutely no sonic demands or listening temptations to change anything in my playback. However, there is a theoretical and conceptual curiosity on my part and I would like to learn what...

I was trying to strategize what would I do it tomorrow someone get in touch with me and offer my $50K. In another words what would I do to convert the Altec 19 to Cetla Ledom?This is an interesting discussion itself as it gives a blueprint for me...

If I somehow was able to recalibrate Macondo to run with the specifics of my new PP2000 sound but in the lower bass my currant playback is completely dead. It is not that it is non-listenable –it is enjoyable but the whole lower end of the midbass ch...

Just turned on the TV to put on some YouTube while preparing to belatedly give Macondo a cleanup and right there was your new video...lost 45mins of cleaning time though, and those Bass Cannons take a lot of cleaning!Turns out the Red 10" pair I purc...

I have been enjoying the "Euroclassic Notturno" (BBC?) program on swedish radio tonight. As a happy rookie in the world of classical music, I seek advice on Tchaikovsky based on what I just heard; His Symphony No. 5.I thought: "Horrible waltz mi...
