[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Not kidding?! :-)Yes, I always felt that Tannoy the vintage 10" sealed box were the best Tannoy out there. Still they were the best not because they were best but because the 10” had less bass extension and did not go into ...

I am certainly looking into an integrated solution. The first thing that I need to do is determine a safe distance to keep those 6C33C's from the wood or drivers. I have listened to Tax's fullrange Melquiades once but was not thinking at the time a...

Two days ago a local audio guy was visiting me and he was listing most of the day. When I asked him to comment on the playback problems he made insisted that sound has some brightness/harshness “around top E”. That was interesting as I know that it ...

[quote user="ArmAlex"] Romy, I plan to build Melquiades. But there are couple of questions:1-One of speaker options is Gryphon Trident, it is an active bass speaker so Mel should drive MF & HF only. In your opinion can Mel drive these speakers? ...

RomyThis topic is relevant to me currently as I am attempting to get a 750Hz low-pass into a valve (tube) amp that is driving a bass section ( Supravox 285GMF in an Onken cab ).I have run through a few options in my head but can see various problems....

I did today some interesting listening. I took my SL-CT470 walkman and plugged it directly into the Baby Milq amp. It was fan. The Baby Milq has no bass now and all together sound kind of screwed but the dynamic capacity of that entire set really imp...

It is truly exciting time in my Macondo/ Melquiades biography. The 6-chennal Super Melquiades is done and fully operational. The 6-chennals of left Macondo speaker have build to the 6-chennal Milq. It “works” fine, not it is time to make it to sound ...

[quote user="cv"] …..and I am not confident about the sonics….[/quote]
What might be very interesting also is to learn what DC coupling in power amps would do generally in term of Sound.
The first time I thought about it was a few years back when ...

[quote user="jamesrm618"]I wonder if this will resemble your final results [/quote]Thanks, James, it was fun….
Actually….it does look like I am on something with this Baby Melquiades project.
First of all it is not Baby Melquiades anymore as it be...

A few days ago I decided to learn how the new Melq sound and made a quick speaker level crossover for one of my Macondo’s channels, putting the new built Melquiades to drive the acoustic systems that the SET meant to drive (Before it was 82dB and 88d...

[quote
user="anthony"]Looks like the Red 10's are circa 92dB/w/m as an
entire "speaker" including woofer. I've never played with them
before, but I wonder how much, if any, SPL is scrubbed from the tweeter by the
crossover so that it matches the...

[quote user="decoud"] Romy, can you be persuaded to post a sketch of what you think the optimal 2 channel Melquiades circuit would look like? [/quote]
Decoud, I do not think that there is such a thing as optimal DSET. The entire concept of DSET is a...

I have finally put together a half-stack of my Bass Cannons concept.The four Cannons wired in parallel and stuffed according to my previous trials on a single tube end up with Fs=41.7Hz and an impedance response as shown below......which means that w...

[quote user="skushino"]So next week I will broaden my playback experience by adding my new 90wpc PP mastadon, and Romy's approved Lamm ML-2, in addition to my current DRD-300B amps. And as a personal favor to the readers at ...

Why can't you just stack them inserting new horn in between midbas and midhorn and keeping your original arrangement? Since your midbass sits on the floor, the tweeter still should be on resonable hight.I would transform your full range Melquiades fo...

This is a synergy horn, a topology that Danley has a patent on, I believe, and certainly the most expertise. There have been extensive discussions on this site about it, including Romy's theoretical objections to the idea. In a synergy configuration ...

Big 93 dB woofers with a "split" no-feedback SET?Perhaps if you re-think the LF drivers you might indeed start with a vanilla version/pair of the Melquiades, just to get a sense of what you're dealing with. If you are able to get or get a sense...

The idea is that just as you might have a seat in your garden that captures a particularly attractive perspective on it, so you have a point where such a view can be combined with audio playback. That gardens are rarely silent and often dynamic (tre...

[quote user="de charlus"]Romy, do you have first hand listening experience of these YL drivers? If so, in what sort of installation? [/quote]
Nope, I did hear neither YL drivers nor ALE driver, as least consciousnessly.

I drive Honda (like most immigrants) and would not consider having a domestic car. Looking at your Melquiades pics I think I can match west coast's standards ;0) but you have to clearly know what you want as I won't be able (looking at your objective...

After a few years I have again pair of Lamm ML2 in my room and I decide to take advantage and render my experience with this amp into a format of my today’s understanding. I know ML2 quiet we and used it with a number of loads. Over the time I develo...

Has anyone built the DIY Melquiades amp shown on this site? Looks like an easy DIY project to pop off over a weekend. If I build them (which would be PURELY for fun because they're not going to be able to compete with my sweet sweet Quicksi...

Is it the new Tradition OPT for the MF channel, sorry I haven't had time to follow threads lately? If so I am curious as I need to order an OPT for my full-range melquiades project soon. (I found someone to build it for me finally!!!) .R W...

I was slowing mingling the conversion of the power supplied of my second Super Milq from 3 channels into 6 channels and I ask myself: is anything in that amp is made in the way that would allow me to close it up and never review it. Sure if I move in...

[quote user="drdna"] If you were using, for example, the Kron KR 2A3, you would not be commenting on the sluggish liquid sounds, and it would be very much more competitive with the Melquiades I am sure of it. Adrian[/quote]I doubt swapping...

Rony,
Actually I did try to drive Melquiades from different source. My old tube buffer, my phonostage and any other not DC-coupled source were not able to drive it. The 6-ch Melquiades is pain in as to drive. It has around 5K input impedance ...
|
|
Romy, have you come to a conclusion about how to decide whether or not to change a tube in the Melquiades? How exactly does the glass change? Is it just the getter? What about the gas tubes where there is no getter? ...
|

Yes, the parts are still available, decoudm@gmail.com for further details. The Melquiades is nearly finished, my builder tells me, but I don't yet have an eta: will report when I have it....

[quote user="Paul S"]To be clear, I do NOT recommend anyone else leaving any 6C33C in 50+ Watt boost position this long….[/quote] To be clear, I have ML2 with 6C33C in 50+ Watt and the amps were running some for days without shutting down – not probl...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] There are a few good shops in Paris that have shelves and drawers full of components. And, across the channel …. [/quote]Yes, you might experiment with transformers. Sowers have good reputation but I never used them...
