Last week and this weekend I been spending some considerable amount of time and efforts to do what I intended to do for long time – to finalize the Macondo’s ideas. What I mean is that with all Melquiades progress, the fundamental channel, with Injec...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Could you clarify: Would you like to vent the rear chamber or increase its volume (or both)? This weekend I will try listening with the rear covers on the Lower-Mids slightly open... [/quote]

[quote user="skushino"]Have you considered the opportunity of raising your upper bass HP crossover? How high do you plan to use your mid bass horns? If your mid bass is comfortable playing up to 280hz (or whatever the right freq is), you can use yo...

Those all things take too much space and the new amp for the “fundamental channel” does not really help the situation. I decided to convert the Super Melquiades into something that would have smaller footprint and position the control amplifier unit ...

I do not know what is meant by “close bottom” or “open bottomless”-- please expound?I do not know of importance of enemys death to this topic. There is a long thread in the subwoofer section of "devil audio" about tapped horns. John mentioned gettin...

I am really not an expert in digital crossovers. I rented in past a few, inducing the Behringer DCX2496 that Thorsten mentioned. I less was concern at that time about the unit as prototyping crossover but rather was trying to learn if the digital cro...

It is amassing what kind of tricks the Fundamentals Channel allows to play. Since my high-frequency Vitavox S2 driver “clicked” recently:

Thanks, jk
I have given a lot of thoughts to this topic lately and have a number of conversations with various people about the subject. A friend of mine from Europe, who is currently at fitness protection program, suggested that:

One of the most interesting outcomes of the Milq conversion into 6 channels is the impact it had to it MF channel. The tweeter is a separate subject, I still work on it, I know how it will be done but I did not hear the final result. I would li...

Contemplating now how to organize biasing for 3 singe stages of my 6-chanls amp I was faced the dilemma: do I need to bias my tubes. The 6E5P/6E6P are Russian tubes and it means that are very different right from the boxes. The Milq, driver tubes, be...

Thanks, Steve, though I believe you forget to mention to the room number where Alex Peychevs will be demonstrating.

A few months ago a reader of my site contacted me and informed about that he found a very interesting driver, that his is using and he is very excited about it. The driver is JBL 2490.

I was trying to strategize what would I do it tomorrow someone get in touch with me and offer my $50K. In another words what would I do to convert the Altec 19 to Cetla Ledom?This is an interesting discussion itself as it gives a blueprint for me...

In continuation to the "A new round of Pacific’s DAC listening" post.... I have a number of revisions of this little contest between two DACs in this thread and in other threads. In all of them the Lavry 924 has a little edge over Pacific Microso...

[quote user="Gregm"] No-one is criticising the ML3 (amplification) product. We are discussing the concept and the applicability of such products, i.e. the ultimate limitation of an amplifier called upon to work from DC to daylight and, accordingly, d...

Josh, this was an excellent
question and I was asking myself the same question a lot during the different stages
of my understanding of the Macondo architecture. I would not call it “resonance
channel” but rather the “injection channel” as it not ...

Here is 2 very interesting questions. Is less dynamic behavior beneficial or the dynamic how ...

…or the “The new Channel”: some observations after the game.
This thread is organic derivation of the multi-paged thread:

It looks like the Cogent boys came up with a new design. It is good that they are keep looking, even thogh they unfortunately are restricted with their desire to stretch the use of their drivers over too wide bandwidth….

After the painstaking setting up of the new Macondo, measuring all distance, paralleling the horns and time-aligning everything, after the setting up a correct level of the new channel’s attenuation (it turned out -2dB was necessary) I spent some tim...

[quote user="serenechaos"] I do not know of importance of enemys death to this topic. [/quote]

Rakesh, I think you take it all wrong and I think you need to perform some degaussing from my site. You created for yourself a cardboard cutout of ideas that I describe at my site but it is not what it is. Macondo Axioms are not set of rules but a di...

user="kodomo"]In my first design, I kept them all in a vertical line.
It had one channel less back then. When I added the 1" throat JMLC 1000, I
decided, as the tweeter operates over 9.6k, the slight misalignment may not
matter. Still, I k...

everything from your time developing these amplifiers, but I have a (hopefully)

Yes, Paul you are right. In my chaise for “cosmetics” the economic aspect jumped out of my aim. The last design would require 6 panes for a par of the loudspeakers it is might be pricey. McMaster quotes a steel panel of 3/8” by 6” by 8” somewhere nea...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]One issue that I would consider is that the Tractrix profile supposedly does not lend itself aswell to extremely low frequency horns (being too short) as other profiles in particular the Hypex (Salmon) shape. [/quote]
