To my surprise I got a lot of inquiries about the future Macondo’s 7th channel. I say surprise because I do not particularly feel that people truly understand what Macondo is all about. I have written a page dedicated to Macondo

http://www.romythecat.com/MacondoAcousticSystem.aspx

but there are a few things that prevent people to understand the Macondo Realty. People are no accustomed that what is said in audio has any meaning and they are bombarded by meaningless nouns and adjectives for years and the meaning of the words is diluted.

Anyhow, I have seen the “criticism” of Macondo’s by various people. The irony is that they do not truly underrate what they criticize. They criticize own experience of being unable to get acceptable result for the systems they put together and then they apply the pattern of their failure to Macondo. The personal limitation and the lack of understanding the distinctions between the pile of hours that they put together and a fine-tuned Macondo prevent them to discriminate the differences.

Anyhow, I was receiving emails accusing me that I went too far with Macondo’s 6th channel (the Injection Channel).  One guy was coming to Bosons who proclaimed himself a “speaker guy” and he felt that he appreciated what he read at my site. I met him and to my surprise criticizing Macondo he did not understood what the Macondo’s 6th channel was used for.  Interning that he was a semi- professional speaker designer (on objectivistic side) and he was trying to convince me that the Injection Channel is a mistake. We were sitting in a bar 500 feet from my listening room and I really did not feel to play to him Macondo. Usually 2 minutes of play the Injected Macondo set all doubts and concerns off but it is not the key. I have no need to prove that I am right or wrong – I know myself where I am where. What struck me is disability of this guy (and many others) to understand the objectives that I have with my Macondo and recognize why I do what I do. it was imposable to talk with him about the amplitude of colors and saturation of tones – he was just below those categories. So, I end up do not bring him in my listening room – I saw no personal interest or challenge to prove him anything, not to mention that I do not have interest in his musical preference.

This all bring me to think about the informing the people about the upcoming Macondo’s 7th channel. The Macondo’s Injection Channel deal in specific way with slightly more sophisticated for an ordinary audio person subject of color amplitude but still this subject might have a basic comprehension, particularly if to educate a person and to show “hoe it might be done”.  The Macondo’s 7th channel will deal with much-much more sophisticated layer of listing experiences, something that is very much not dealt in audio before, at least acknowledgeably.  I intentionally do not give up the function name (like Injection, Fundamentals, Upperbass… etc) of the 7th channel (even I do have a very well-define name for it) as I feel it would not be understood.  In fact, among all audio people that I know I might found perhaps 2-3 individuals to whom I might explain what conceptually I am trying to accomplish with the 7th channel and who would be able to understand what am trying to get myself with the 7th channel . I can only say that it is VERY much different (purpose-vise) from whatever was proposed, and from whatever exists out there.

It is all that I am willing to say at this point.
