Post Subject: Another Melquiades? Never thought!Posted by Romy the Cat on: 6/7/2006

This is kind if funny as I never thought that I will go this way. I kind of have a need for an amplifier. For a normal full range amplifiers that would be able to drive conventional speakers. I really can’t use the Super Melquiades as it has the live-level filters built-in. I keep pulling from my storage some amps the I had ns keep borrowing the amps but they really useless as none of them does, even very-very remotely what the Super Melq does in it’s band pass. I have very well performing LF enclosure that I needed to drive recently ands I used a borrowed SS amps. I did not like the result and I connected it “juts for fun” the LF channels of the Milq. Holly cow! That quality of bass was come from 1 cub feet!?  The AB SS amp was deep in the undesirable place… In the long run I would need another amp to drive my “Fundamentals Channel”:

The last year I had the original first Melquiades avalable. It was sitting for month in my storage, doing nothing. Eventually I, fool, decided to let it go and sold it; attacked by the guy you heard the amp.  I'was  glad that the first-born did find a good home but what the hell I need to do now? Well, after thinking for a while I begin contemplating to build another regular, single channel, full range Melquiades. I have all parts, chassis, magnetic and so on and it would be not difficult to do but I really hate to do it.

To build first was not juts building but rather a ceremony of the creation as we taught to the Melq to behave. Now, since the circuit and the know-how have developed the bulging is juts a miserable retune that I have no interest in. I would like to outsource it to somewhere and juts to pay for the labor. If anyone at East Cost, preferable in driving distance form Boston, would like to do the job then I’m wiling to talk, please contact me privately.

In addition to making some money you will have a change to listen the Melquiades and will have an opportunity and privilege to assemble an amplifier near which my Koshka was walking….
