Last night I have a long listening session of my New corner loaded speakers, I don't have a name for them yet. I kind of feel sense of amazement what they do with the lower register. Some of very very complex thingd they do amazingly interesting. I was listening to my favorite recording of La Mer by Berlin philharmonic and was really pleased of not impressiveness of this lower and upper base. It is very different from my main system does. Macondo in its current configuration has unquestionably much more Superior bass. But when I am talking about performance of specific register I always think in terms how I would like to change it in order the result comply with my belief how I would like it to be. With all quality of the base that I am getting from my Macondo I always feel that I would like to have slightly softer very bottom range. I understand that it is not exactly possible because I have my lowest channel in Macondo driven by a solid state amplifier. I am a strong believer that any solid state amplification topologically cannot produce proper base. I certainly have its flowing over a tube crossover which specifically optimized to increase second harmonic, it helps a lot but it is still not a single ended bass. However, when I listening my corner horns which even remotely do not go as deep as my main system I do not have this feeling that I want to have slightly softer bottom end. Do not forget that I am driving my corner horns not even solid States amplifier, but exceptionally horrible amplifier, from a single integrated chip of total cost probably a few dollars. I think what happening because I have a dipole corner horn there are some very intricate phase randomization that overall make bass very interesting. I am still thinking about it...
