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...

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 am not sure that I am at final stage of my ULF wondering. I do like the integration-free problem of my ULF via tube crossover. I am a bit concert that I am injecting now + 9dB at sub 20Hz and do not feel that I have too much bass. I am a bit mo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
My current bass is very “integrated” and very musical. It low, it is large, it is extended and it is in away grandeur and it has nothing close with faulty Hi-Fi impressiveness. It never take over sound and never indicat...

I am trying to keep the discussion about midbass horns out of ULF thread, I guess if Rakesh would like he can create a separate thread dedicated to his specific installation and the design ideas. I would like to keep the content of the posts more...

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="Romy the Cat"]May 16, 2010: My ultimate wet audio dream was to have Bruckner Room. But so far it turning out that I got another big B room. Since 3 days back I stopped the intellectual masturbation with my room my playback up for the...

[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...

Jessie, I have moved your post to your 45Hz horns thread but then decided to keep it here as some of my comments would be about entire system not only about your midbass horn. Anyhow, there is nothing there to laugh and it is pleasant to see that som...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]So if I understand correctly, you are still using both elements of the Red, but have separated them, and now have the HF element as shown in the above photo, and the woofer is still in the large box (still sitting up on to...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

[quote user="ulf"] Well, it was not really a surprise to us that the horn without the phase plug was dissapointing. Without the plug we had a horn that was a bit too short, had too large front cavity and less compression than we desired. [/quote]

I made first set of test with one PP2000 vs. two PP2000 driving my enter playback. All grounds were lifted on the load side. The presence of second PP2000 did not made sound bright as before, the second PP2000 sits sufficiently far from the first...

I just posted yeastoday the post above and have got already a few emails asking about the “new” ways that I am planning to use S2. OK, let me to explain what is going on.
The default Vitavox S2 driver comes with thier default aluminum diaphragm with...

I have with bass not a problem but dilemma. I do not have problematic bass but I have a dilemma how to supplement my current bass with ULF without affecting my current bass. Adding ULF defuses my current bass, renders the bass phasing to be more ...

I got it!
I realty have got it this time and it is exactly what I was craving for and shooting for. I converted both channels for 18db/octave on tweeter and recalibrated the whole Macondo, in a slightly different manner...

Playing with B-2 power amp I made an experiment and instead of loading to it the MiniMe Bass section I loaded the B-2 with Macondo’s bass arrays. I made add-hog attenuator and coil to EQ MiniMe MF with Macondo’s bass and gave some listening. It w...

I am very much do not like the current state of my mind about the single-stage Milq. Let me to explain….
In 2001-2002 I spend some time trying to assess the sonic influence of PS to sound. After making numerous tests and prototypes I concluded that ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, doesn't Tim de P also use this cool Miller capacitance idea in his never-mentioned "high end" tubed corrector? Also, do I remember reading that he runs both channels through the two halves of the same twin-triod...

Listening my Macondo with new “Fundamental channel” I noted that my tweeter is not as effective as it use to be. The effect of “not-effectiveness” is very minor but at some recordings it is notable. My T350 still sorts the Vitavox S2’s top but it als...

We are closing our new house in 2 weeks and while packing

I am debating with myself about going with sub 100Hz woofer tower as I

OK, the driver in there, connected and my carpenter got his
check. The project is over and I did not even go to the attic – very nice. Now
I need to make it to sound right. It will be longer ceremony and probably will
take a couple weeks. I did co...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, I disconnected my MiniMe speakers and left only Macondo to care sound in the room. I was listing for the last week Macondo. There is no bass, just upperbass horn at the bottom and The Injection channel a full range....
