Post Subject: Stop!Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/15/2010

OK, I decided to stop today to do what I do as it does not feel like me anymore. For a month as I live in here and have the playback up my playback is a source of great pain and I do not like it. I am accustomed that I turn the thing on and USE it. I did many experiments and had weeks or month playback in bad shape but I know what is going on and I had no problem with it. Now, in new house I for some reasons constantly fight with playback and practical do not USE it as I would like to. The audio experiments I fine, I like them but today I convinced myself the unit I have a dictated midbass channel I will not get the sound I would like to get. So, what people do after they have a strike of revelation? Right, they begin to re-read my site.
So, I look at my comments in the Audio For Dummies section: do not pursue full-range without being ready, do not go for lower bass without being ready and I asked myself – what I am doing?

So, I took everything from my listing room out (I have a tone of the speakers I have in there, trying to imitate the midbass) and connected just two woofers to Milq’s bass channels. As the result I got the same Macondo as I had only the LF section runs at few dab doe and well underdeveloped for this room. So, I have no bass but I have nice balanced and peaceful sound from 60 Hz and up. I will keep it for a while until I will do something radical with midbass – I am not ready to move in there now.

The sound as it is not bad. I rolled of HF and there is not bass. The LF section (the dose lower upperbass in effect) is time aligned and the Macondo got some imaging back. The MF tone is partials back. So, the Macondo works now in monitor mode, but it is OK for now. At least today playing my playback I did not have the feeling that I need to spend a night with an ex-girlfriend who you dumped because you did not like sex with her…
Back to the normality…
