Chris,
Since I got that mind-boggling result with “Melquíades” (will finish the thread about the Melquíades sound) I went for an “ultimate solution” for my installation: a “Super Melquíades” amp. It will be dual chassis (amp+PS) 3-chennal amp to milliamp my horns by one amp per side.
When I asked Dima for an absolute craziest specification for LF channel he come up with something ridicules like .5A, full power down to 10Hz at –1dB and so on. In other words he proposed some kind of monster that will not run over 3Khz but would be an endless emperor at the bottom octave.
My transformer maker looked at this said “Hm…” and then decided to try making it. I spoke with him today and he said that he almost met already the Dima’s specifications, furthermore…. he so love the result that he is planning to convert it into a commercial product.
Considering that phenomenal bass that “Melquíades” do now with it’s 9H of primary and with 21Hz of cut off I wonder what “Super Melquíades” will be doing with a transformer the handle a full power down to 10Hz, having a lot of spare current in gap and with the inductance of primary over 15H? I really would like to here THAT sound. If everything turns out to be OK then I will do in a month.
Rgs,
