I did not expect that it would be so much work with the new “fundamental channel”. The new 250Hz horns required some help to correct some problems, plus they have to be finished in a civilized fashion and color. However, the biggest problem is positi...

I very slowly started to convert another amp to DHT. For now I listen just left channel and in a striped down mode: no tweeter and no Injection, letting the MF to care the whole upper range. It is interesting to play different tubes in this mode. Fra...

I have thought many times about trying to have an Audio System like Macondo Horn Loudspeaker System and if I could get good result then I will demo it in munich high end show.this is a big project for me because I am not expert and I have no DIY expe...

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… ...

OK, I disconnected my MiniMe speakers and left only Macondo to care sound in the room. I was listing for the last week Macondo. There is no bass, just upperbass horn at the bottom and The Injection channel a full range. It is OK sound but truly nothi...

We have a nice storm in New England, in Boston we call it Nor'easter. The snow is falling ~ 2 inches per hour and they promise 2 feet before the end of the show. My town is under snow emergency, the wind up to 50m/h – the whole shabam!

[quote user="montepilot"] When I have more time I will post my impressions of the mini me system that sits side by side with Macondo. For now I will say that with all Macondo's virtues, mini me may be the David that slays the giant goliath![/quo...

It has been a difficult time last 2 months in my family. We went
over job change and we fired a live-in nanny that made some logical thine with
kids difficult. The new nanny we found had to quit in 2 weeks due to her
medical condition, so it was a...

First of all this is not a post about somebody replicated Macondo. I use the colloquialism: “Building Macondo” as a reference to building any “end of the life” acoustic system. Building the proverbial Macondo, going multi-ampling , arranging powe...

I sometimes visit an Australian site and familiarize myself
with progress of “acg” who it trying to build Macondo like acoustic system.

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...

I got yesterday the new Macondo Frame.
As you see I went for a monopod, the strong one and I love a lot what how it turned out to be. What the horns are stuffed into the frame then the frame is unusable at all. The footprint of the frame is very sm...

Sure, I’m very much done with Macondo and the late frame is the last straw that I load to this camel. It took 60-7 years come up with where Macondo is now and I do like how it turned out to be. In a week or so I will be done and I will post the pictu...

I have sometimes people asking me questions about Macondo and in very many instances I laugh when I hear them. I wrote up a page where I put all that people need to know about Macondo:

Interesting, Very interesting.
I might make some observations now, claming this recent modification as a success. The minor gain of sensitively certainly did not heart but the major advantage was defiantly the “activation of ceiling”. It is hard to ...

The 7th Channel will use absolutely different principles. However, the person who is working now on the Macondo 7th Channel started years back by experimenting with Flanagan’s Neurophone idea. It was actually the idle query. I did not use the Neuroph...

Back in the thread “Adding one more non-spherical to Macondo” (linked) I was bitching that t make accommodations for the new Multicell in the Macondo frame will be too difficult. However, I had a revelation two days ago. I spoke with my machinist...

I know it is a difficult subject but as it has to do less with audio but more with life priorities. Still, the practice indicates that the short-wall installations for acoustic systems of the topology that Steve is trying to make will never work. Sur...

I spoke recently with a friend of my and was trying to describe the sound of my midbass horns. I said that if Wagner was able to have his custom Bayreuth Tubas then why I am not able to have my Bruckner Midbass horns. I kind of like the metaphor that...

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...
