Macondo speakers from Romy the cat

[TomatoBangBang]

Hello

I think that most of you know this guy, he has a website since few years.

He had 4 years ago Avant Garde Duo speakers and after that started to create his speakers

Now he pretends to have the best pair of speakers of our modern society and profess like a new messiah what is right and what is wrong in hi-fi

well i didn't open this thread to discuss about the guy ; i don't care about him so please don't post comments on the guy just on his work

What make me open this thread is that i never (never) read anywhere someone who has listened to his speakers !

I mean with that big mouth i should expect that i least some respectful Diyer had listened to his system

I mean he declares since 3 years that his speakers (and his view of what should be sound reproduction) are the way to go


So why nobody never heard the Maconodo system (nor his amplifier) ?

Maybe i am wrong and plenty of people had this chance

So it is why i opened this thread :

Have someone ever heard Macondo speakers and if "yes" what do you think about them

[TomatoBangBang]

Nobody has heard the macondo ?

Not even a friend of a friend of yours ?

[limono]

Well I don't think that people who heard his system are at all interested in interaction with DIY crowd. My personal opinion .
iT NEVER cease to amuse me -watching all those who mock Romy
run (like wounded in *** antilopes to buy and inflate every piece of gear he favorably mentions in his blog. Master of puppets
comes to mind.

Is that you, Angelo "the horn maker" under a new nick? Style of writing seems familiar.

nope.

BTW. i bought my S2's from a english gentleman, that told me the S2's were expensive long before our friend started to hype them.

and : yes, i answer , when i am verbally agressed......

Angelo, I removed the link. We don't like bringing fights from other forums over here.

Romy is very entertaining to read at times and very opinionated, and I would like to hear his system. However, i would also be prepared to like it a lot or not much as it seems very highly tuned to his personal tastes. I think the listening session would draw short when I brought out some Who, NIN or Ween.

Hi,

The details are at the above, 10/10 for effort if nothing else.
Asking people if they have ever heard them though seems pointless.

Please I asked to not make this thread a vendetta against him

We all know that he is a little mythomaniac and very anal when he speaks about audio

I don't see the point of saying it again and again...

------

I (and we) all see the effort behind Macondo, but well, it doesn't mean in any case that his system sound good

For example i read he likes EAR phono that is ultra lush and cheesy ; so i can imagine that the rest is in the same league

But again nobody has ever heard his system

The proof is in the pudding you can't declare during years that you have a complete understanding about hi fi (after just 4 years of practicing) , insulting every single horn speaker maker and in the same time hidding yourself and your speakers

I mean we all know the kind of guys which are so confident because there are anonymous behind their computer

Maybe i am wrong and unfair, maybe it was not done in purpose to hide his creation

----

I ask again : is there someone who has heard his system ?

I don't see anything particularly negative about Romy at all in the thread. Hardly a vendetta.
