This seems like an appropriate place to share my latest thoughts about Macondo copying!
I thought I built almost copies of the Macondo upperbass horns, yet I've really only achieved quite questionable results. Impressive from time to time, but never free from gross problems.
I even had a dream where Romy was in the neighbourhood but refused to listen to these problematic horns:
-"Absolutely not! Start with a table radio instead, and identify the problems with the sound."
Hahaha! Frustrating, but perhaps it made sense.
Today I'm listening to a pair of bookshelf speakers.
They weren't quite useable stock, but with ports plugged, bass rolled off at line-level and a little bass tower on each side: Wonderful! Much closer to my "headphones ideal".
The horns will do duty as turntable stands, strange art or immovable stools for a while. It's all good. :-)Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
