Hey Anthony,Your project is going on track (and looks like a very good track)! Just a reminder about the room acoustics. You are talking about bass frequencies which are as dependent to the room as the speaker! Before installing your speakers into y...

thank you for sharing your concerns.The LF module I was building was like yours with drivers from scanspeak. However both the dealer was not professional and the the drivers had a certain sound to them (too much character) so I ditched that solution....

BTW, purely hypothetically, Jessie, if you have a long harrow room then did you consider to put your bass horns vertically, facing them mouth up, pretending that they are large vases? It might be a new kinky surreal home decor and you can make the th...

You say you want at least two giant, solid rooms (for the horns and for listening), and enough acoustic isolation to crank it up...The only other option seems to be using SOLID walls, floors, and/or ceilings as "part of the horns"; but this still req...

A UK guy with name “mrwippy” built a dedicated room for small mini-monitors. I am not a big fun of dedicated rooms but the construction ceremony looks interesting, even I would like do NOT go over it myself…

I did not expect that I will face a problem with it but it looks as more I educate myself on subject as more I see problems. Looking and listing my room I have designed the foaming pattern of my room that will do fine acoustically and will not round ...

Since room acoustics are important, I'd like to share my thoughts on this device I recently acquired. This is not a review but some thoughts on how this thing changes the sound of the room, because that's exactly what it does, and in my opinion, only...

I would like to pass some observations on my about sound quality in my video room. The sound in my video room is what I would call very very good, I am not kidding – really good. It is delivered by Altec 21S speaker driven by Yamaha B2 amp and ...

Hmmm.... I'll have to speak with the future Dr. Schwips about intermodular distortion lowering IQ's in children. If it's just another risk factor on top of faulty genes then I think I can live with it. That cacti would suddenly turn pale and the base...

Ok, my new listening room is repainted and ready to accept audio setup. Probably this weekend, if I have time left, I will make a first try with Macondo. I think the main thing that I need to figure out now is what would be a listening distance in r...

An audio guy contacted me today with and an interesting note: “can't put a piano in the same room as a hifi”. When I asked why he wrote: “scott's steinway sounding board would 'ring' like crazy. it was my theory about why his tannoys sounded even mud...

Could it be that the sound is somehow equalised and compressed by Youtube?There's an obvious sound change at min. 3:30 but it should be more pronounced.I think it would make more sense if we were to upload a 16/44 of our system playing the same recor...

Amy plays peaty much weekly chamber music. I listen them sometime and the idea to let her quartets to sound slightly bigger in homes, in the way how they would sound in concert hall, never left me. Of cause we are talking about an active extension of...

Yes, it is time again for me, too, as soon as my amps get back from United Radio. Among many choices to make, which music to target?
OT, Robin, I think every trumpet player I've ever known has had a hernia. Hope all goes well for you, but WTF?

Hey, what do you know? We got that 1908 Mason and Hamlin. It was delivered last night and I have made Any to play for me my Mikael Tariverdiev's Memories sonata. The Mason does need some work and our technician told that she will do it in a week of s...

I listened for a few days a nice room with a digital correction done on computer for bass only, to minimize room peaks. It was very easy to do an ON=OFF test I could hear a clear benefit with the filter and no damage to the signal. Quite interesti...

Hi Keith,That is an interesting way of setup the S150 horn. Most of GOTO setup that I have seen set the S150 high and point down to listening position. All of them crossover the S150 + SG505TT at 200Hz to 1kHz range. I wish that I h...

One easy way around any zoning issues with an added on room is to find a house with a large garage, knock down the garage and build the new space on the existing concrete pad. That way you won't have to worry about easements and how close you are to ...

I had a few days ago a conversation if I even move out from my current listening room. The conversation was purely hypothetical and it led me to think about hypothetic abstract perfect listening room. I very much enjoy my current listening room and t...

Rony, not to beg the issue of sound, per se, but I have lived in 4 houses that looked +/- like the one you've pictured. They were not the best with respect to rote Sound development, but they were very Family Friendly, which, in the end, has served ...

Here is the room that I really like. It looks like a bit too small room for big music but still the “room treatment” and the room’s natural cavities are very very very good. The image is by Zagreb-based Ring Audio Company. http://www.ring-audio.com/r...

I have an upright piano in my listening room, but I haven't seriously investigated its sonic impact, since its also my living room and its sort of always been there and I've never moved it. I don't know how much it affects the sound resonant-wise ve...
