Ok, I do not know what it was: was it DHT, was it 300B, was it some other specifics of this given amp or whatever… but those two aspects that I named: intentional density of colors and randomness of pace are something that I would like to exercise in...

I need to say that I miss my Macondo sound, not the sound
itself but an ability to push a button and have predictably good sound. However,
from the place where I'm staying now, I feel that to have just Macondo result
is not enough for me. I would ...

I do not think that magic was gone anywhere, it was just
hiding behind my many stupid actions. I was able recreate that magical sound but
so far whatever I do to navigate it the weather's need to be sonically I am
shutting magic in the butt. it is...

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...

The only issues that I have ever had were putting the piano in a place where the large smooth surfaces did not cause assymmetric reflections that messed with the stereo presentation.
The damper pedal on a piano is "on" when not d...

Thank you Rowuk for the explanations.
[quote user="rowuk"]The Tannoy driver moves at 32 Hz, the passive radiator can only move at its tuned frequency - 30 Hz.

I understand what you are trying to say,...

[quote user="morricab"] I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resona...

I am on record as not liking back loaded
horns:to be effective at bass frequencies, a BLH needs to be as long
as a FLH would be; I've yet to see a BLH, with the possible exception
of the Tannoy Westminster, that actually has a long enough horn ...

Hm, the Injection channel via Lecleach? The MF via Lecleach? I wonder why people then are complaining about the vertical limitations. Anyhow, closer to the point.

Fascinating info. My first post here though been a lurker for years. @Amir I assume the info you posted above about PSU changes come from Silvio? It's quite fascinating so if there's any further info published I'd appreciate a link to it.

Yesterday Remedies the Beauty was shipped me from my cabinet builder.
Another couple weeks and I will be able to start to play with it, teaching her to sound right. If yo...

Vincin, thank you for appreciation of my work. A few comments and thoughts about the
direction you went.
I do think that to compare 300B with your version of Milq is
not proper way to demonstrate or to learn anything about sound, particularly
...
|

I cannot imagine that I started to work on Macondo over 20 years ago. How are all this time the Macondo axioms coupled with Milq DSET proved to be quite accurate and constantly delivered quite good predictable results. Yes, it is a pain in ...

I have no doubts that the disassembly of Macondo was NOT due to simplification of life or getting old or becoming tired reasons. It is very possible that something better came along. I know this because I am in the exact same situation. I took ap...

Romy, sad to hear of your separation. I hope you are ok.
I use one of these to align my horn stacks...

The last night I had truly alarming in experience. I visited
Bill who had my original Dannoys and brought to him my SIT Yamaha B3 amplifier.
He did kind of in the same directions that I did, disconnected his horns and
was experimenting with Danno...

So, basically you built a wall on the right side, separating
the listening section from whatever it is behind the wall. A bold move. As the
room become slightly smaller and you lost some time for bass dissipation you might
try to drop the slope at...

I laid my hands on WinISD speaker modeling tool, which seems to be quite popular and widely used. It can model passive radiators too.
Here are the simulations of my idea of the Dannoy bass: Scan Speak active + Scan Speak passive in the same bo...

Musicians do respond differently to music than non-musicians. Brain scans have shown that different parts of the brain light up when their 'genre' of music or something close to it, or otherwise something easily comprehensible, is played to them,...

Hi Romy
I cant help but not keeping back the smile :D
Come on Romy, we are grown ups, you can not be so angry only because you I don't like your speaker.
It is important to stay open towards the outside world and get inspir...
