Yes, the demonstration is the only way to know exactly what type of sound/music presentation you have in your room, I’m sure it will be very interesting and educational for me, but too bad you live on the other side of the planet... Given the fact I cannot visit your room, could you describe as much in detail as possible what happens with the sound when your switch off one of the Macondo’s stereo channels? I'm very curious to know and I’m sure I will almost hear the actual sound by just reading your descriptions (it is always the case).

I presume, in context of the conversion in this thread, you are not talking about switch off one of the Macondo’s stereo channels but rather switch off one of the Macondo’s HF channels. Some might be surprised but by turning off the Macondo’s tweeters the sound change very little but whatever difference would be is mostly in positive direction. Yes, without the tweeters Macondo has a bit more textured sound as the fine granularity of my YO186-S2 combination begin to shine through more prominently. Still, after a while this super sexy granularity become to be a bit over presented across all music and I feel a need to hold that throaty granularity slightly back. The tweeters do smear that MF texture a bit, not literally smear but rather override it to the point how I feel it to be texture – neutral.

For sure the tweeter do bring some own positive element to sound as well. It is hard to describe what they do. They for sure add transients, bite to HF, nice extension of MF overtones but the most important they produce the smooth and what I usually call “lubricated” enter and exit for mid range tones.

If you do cooking then you know about the importance of having a good cooking knifes. Well, a good knife is not truly important and if you are good cook then you are good cook with any knife but for a sake of association let discard the cooking art and let look only at the quality of knives, not even the knives but rather the knives sharpening.  The badly sharpen knife is your basic MF. That knife of cause can cut meet and veritable. However, then you begin to sharpen your knife and use better quality knives and you realize the cutting the same pork might be almost a pleasure as you shell not exhibit any cutting pressure but rather juts move your hand what you would like it to go and the good night will do the job itself.

The HF, if they compliment MF properly, do the same job – they create proper, more natural, more auditably-palatable entry and exit for MF into auditable space. They sort of the lubricate the MF and make MF it interact with room more naturally and more discriminatively.

Saying all of it I have to note that in my care my HF are very complex as they are not only efforts of MF and HF driver but also the efforts of Injection Channels that is good 2 feet ways with all negative consequences of lobbing and many other mean things. Still, if it did not work then I would not use it and all together it somehow works fine in my estimation.

BTW, If someone would ask me what is the main aspect of proper HF integration then I would name properly sounding electricity at the very top list of my priorities…
