[quote user="drdna"]I was really shocked when I saw this idea of yours. It is a trade off of course with improved control over narrower frequncy bands being traded for axial symmetry. Yet because the position of the drivers is so very imp...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Spending some time listening carefully my new setup after fine-calibration I recognize some inaccuracies in my previous comments and some mistakes of my original objectives. Here are some observations I would like to m...

Xandcg, I did not see this thread below. I would not comment
on 5x10x14 vs. 4x8x12 rooms, the answer is obvious,
What I will comment that the scenario you propose is very close to ultimate configuration
for Macondo-like acoustic system. A few this...

I have today a local audio guy stopped by in my room and listened my playback. I have almost painful reaction from this listening session and could not wait when it will be over. The playback sounded very unpleasant, I mean so unpleasant that I w...

Fllowing my experiments with Injection Channel

I have discovered recently that I was a greedy fool who should know better.
The new Injection Channel does OK as a independent single channel bu...

[quote user="haralanov"]Romy, you said there is no proper tone. In your old system/room setup you were very close to the back wall, but now it is far behind you. I'm probably wrong, but I thinkyou don't have proper sound in the mid-upperbass with...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]In this case, below 50Hz, I think el`Ol is right to suggest that you consider using DSP as a permanent solution. The SMS 1 is in theory the silver bullet... You just need to find out if you can live with it long-term. Be...

Hello everyone:I exchanged a couple of emails with Romy, and since the topic may be of interest to everyone, I am posting the emails here. Just in case anyone wonders, of course I checked with Romy to see if he was alright with his reply to my em...

Romy:Again thanks for the response. With regard to the most important question, my choice would be to use the standard AM Amorphous C-Core transformers in the short term but the Direct Tube Drive in the long term. As I mentioned elsewhere, I was in t...

Adrian,
You pretty much said it but do not think that what you said it minor – it is in fact huge, with exception of some rough lathe-work: it is not exactly true but if it was true then it would be irrelevant to Sound.
I really do not know wha...

Bob,
Yes, the variants are multiple but the key I feel might be the following: smaller size, less reliance to baffled, smaller size. Or yes, did I mention the smaller size?
The thing that led me to think about the MiniMe incorporation was my recent...

E-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y!!! Eventually the new “fundamentals channel” horn sounds as it should being incorporated in my Macondo! The key was the second order. I really never drove compression drivers to their 500Hz as I always used upperbass h...

I did an interesting experiment today trying to learn if those Melquiades driver tubes have even gain. The Russian tubes are notorious to have very widely spreading specification, so….
I took 14 6E6P. Some of then were new, some used and some violen...

Hm, and you used 12” driver with 4.8" x 4.8" thought? With you look for 6”-8” driver and Fs drivers. I know it would be very hard to find them with near 100dB sensitivity…

This is very interesting subject.
I expect that tghe new Midbass horns will have somewhere 108dB sensitively anechoicly. The driver is 99dB and the hyperbolic curve has much more EQ then Tractrix and that is more important the EQ that work mu...

Ok, I loaded the S3 driver into the new multicells, use my extra of bas sections as a pedestal for multicell, connected 2 extra bass channels to ULF amp and the multicells to full range amps with no crossovers. Yes, I got a VERY good width and th...

I made today some interesting experiment and for the first time during my “fundamentals channel saga” I get some stimulating and very result. I find a way to mount the “low frequencied S2 driver” on the speaker’s axe way above the Macondo’s tweeter. ...
