[quote user="oxric"] If the issue is merely to recreate a better sense of the live performance….[/quote]It might be not “recreate a better sense of the live performance” but rather to be able to administer in my own and deliberate way some “listening...

I would like to mention a few things about the general tendencies of Macondo response. The tendencies are so predictable and so redundant with different vintages of Macondo that I accept them as axioms. I might add that those axioms of my mind work o...

Chris,
The point of digital delay is well taken. Digital has no problems to delay and if someone had only digital as source then it is very simple to use tow parallel DACs and to stick temporary storage memory in one or them. In case of multiple so...

everything is there!was so focused on searching s2 and midbass i did not realize that you gave macondo a seperate section.was slightly off yesterday anyway, my friend crashed my motorbike, wanted to ride it to italy next week:-(anything wrong with a ...

As many know I sine move in the new house do not have a fully functional Macondo and most of the time I listen Dunlavy with SS amp. Melquiades sit in there, collecting dust , waiting what it will be called to duty again. This weekend it was called an...

Excellent news regarding this morning's discoveries. jd wrote:"...Are you able to say whether the problem is due to the horn position relative to the room, or to throat diameter relative to the driver diameter?..."Yes, a stupidly phrased question, bu...

Being in the final phases of tuning my Macondo/Melquiades, I am most interested where you may go with 2.0 Romy. I'm so in love with my setup that I feel it will be quite some time before the honeymoon is over......

Wojtek, to some degree what your share is correct sentiments but your position has two faulty presumptions presumptions. First presumption suggests that most of people out there strictly idiots and they have no own brain but just listen towards...

I think I can imagine how a complex, sophisticated presentation can be too "unnecessarily demanding", in lieu of a better phrase, in a long run in family life circumstances. I sometimes suffer similar problems (I imagine others too).

For what's its worth but our common acquaintance David K did describe to me your sound as "too brainly" once so perhaps not only you feel that intellectual burden?? Pity I've never had a chance to listen to your Macondo. I actually like intellectuall...

Look up Romys CETLA91 or a new multicell for Macondo.There is a guy not far away from me Markus Klug, who builds these. I heard then at his house but there were "non speaker issues" that did not tell me what in the sound could be attributed to the ho...

Thank you for your reply and honest feedback that there is no silver bullet.In the interest of trying to move forward, is there anyone in Sydney, Australia who has a Macondo based speakers, whom I maybe able to visit and enlighten myself?Thanks ...

"Believe me or not but when we made Macondo the appearance was not a concerns of John an me"So why did you paint it then? :-)Seriously though, it occurred to me that the Henry Ford colour scheme for your kit was was quite deliberate, not fo...

From the Macondo to the Celestion SL600 !I cannot think of two speakers that could be more different in terms of design philosophy and (I imagine) the presentation of music.If you can get any noise out of the SL600's I'll be interested to hear what y...

Here is pretty much the idea that I had – a very tall line array with min footprint and with more of less corrected timing error by angling the front baffle. At the picture below the curvature of positioning of Macondo channels is not depicted (for s...

I am revising the architecture of my playback in context of benefits
of reverberation fields injection. Certainly, Macondo and Melquiades stay as
they are. I always had a pilot system that runs in parallel with Macondo driven
by a cold SS amp. I u...

[quote user="drdna"]I would not restrict myself to the idea that things need to be a certain way or a certain configuration of the drivers or ports based on theory alone. I think it is important to ask what is interesting about the sound that the new...

Well, first of all, I would like to mention that I edited your post replacing the link from eBay images to the link to the post which features the same images only hosted on my site. I did it because eBay listing will expire in 30 days and I do not w...

This is a very important question as since very beginning of the projects it was questionable if I would be able to get away with the back/top firing position of my midbass horn. So, as now, when the midbass horn project is over and horns fully i...

[quote
user="anthony"] I have noticed that there are several commercial horn
offerings that push a wide bandwidth through a single horn (eg. Martion Einhorn
370Hz - 20kHz, BD Designs Orphean MKIII 270Hz - 22kHz) and I just wonder how
they do it i...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

I have some strange feeling about this MiniMe idea and I really hate those feelings. The entire concept of MiniMe was to have painlessly integrated with large-speakers mini-monitor with somehow “not to revolting sound”. However, as I go slowly along ...
