[quote user="RF at Ona"]Finally, let me add a personal point of view. If you walk into a room and you are not really aware of its acoustics - it is probably a good room … [/quote]
It is not my observation. When you walk into a good room it clearly h...

Although I am violently oppose the “dancing around the room “idea but I would pay a lot of money to see those audiophilism-wiped people dancing around their listening rooms inspired by the tunes of Shostakovich string quarters. Truly a girlfriend of ...

I have been thinking recently about the subject of my playback’s sound vs. Live sound and I have to tell you that those thoughts are much more complicated than one might expect. Under normal circumstances it would be foolishness to talk seriously abo...

That was the 4 way system designed by John Sheerin using GOTO drivers on my request. The tweeter is GOTO 160 with S3000 horn xover at 5kHz. The high mid is GOTO SG370DX with S600 horn xover at 1kHz-5kHz. The low mid is GOTO 505TT with S150 hor...

I feel that the correct objective of home music listening should be to reproduce as closely as possible what one can enjoy in a great concert hall with great musicians.Thus, I have been a advocate for surround processing for years. As stereo replaced...

Romy, you've mentioned that the father and son team did a good job of balancing insulation vs. ventilation in the vaulted ceiling over your listening room. While it might work to +/- replicate what they've done, at least in principle, perhaps you ne...

I was consulted with people who know and they told me that there is absolutely no problem even if I need to have some of trusses to clear my way. Apparently there are special people who could perform a section of the attic reframing, so it would ...

Alex,I tend to aim for Q's around 0.5-0.6 for my sealed boxes, but thats only because I prefer my listening in smaller nearfield rooms. If you have a much larger room, you *might* be able to get away with something closer to 1.the 18W works fin...

Just add a pair of small Ino Audio speakers and your LTS associated setup is done. :-)http://www.faktiskt.se/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8994&list=fullSeriously, I'd pester the very reluctant manufacturer (former LTS head hon...

hi jezzie!i think, in case of thunder its only the "crack" that comes from the lightning, the "boom" is just the "echo". maybe this is interesting for you. as we can see, not only bad electricity destroys good sound, its also the changes in the air i...

Yes, there is still a resonant cavity under the raised-floor listening room. However, this is how pros deal with it, under the circumstances.Somehow, I was thinking that the house was older than the "TJIs" shown in these photos. If so, then this mu...

Romy, francley the biggest reason that I'm very happy you moved to your new place is, you have a very big listening room-like mine-so speaker placment and search for DPoLS wuold be more helpful to me. I hope so!Anyhow congradulation for new place.Arm...

Thanks, guys. I got a few direct emails with various ideas. I am thinking to go in June, to escape the pre-Olympic rash. I do not know when and where, juts collection sensations at this point. I have no problems with non-audio part of the trip, end ...

[quote user="steverino"]Well, the circle is unbroken. Romy started his audio journey in a basement somewhere tinkering with this and that. He rose for a time into the light and now has descended once more. However this time it is called the Bunker. W...

Audio Sonar Acoustic Levelling (ASAL)
As an engineer, I’ve been intrigued by the various room treatment systems out there…most of which are sound (excuse the pun). My own 4-way front-loaded playback system is very dynamic…and suitable room...

Ah, Texas, they are truly helpless people. They did not reach the level of humans evolution when such a fine things as bass time alignment would matter. They need to experience an influence of the Renaissance first.... Seriously, a nice looking list...

N-set, I do not think that we from America would be able to talk about 3-phase or to share any 3-phase experiences. We in US do not have 3-phase in residential neighborhood, in fact it is prohibited by code and if you want to have it then it is very ...

I have written in past that for some mystery reasons my PP3000+, and I presume all other PP3000+, do adversely affected by switching power supplies in the feeding line. I have PP3000+ and older PP3000 and both of them works wonderfully, one on main l...

Nope, it is not my listening room but I it is a very nice looking listening room, I hope to post it here. The room has very nice dealing with first reflections, ceiling and many other aspects. I wish the right speaker were further from the wall. ...

Anyone have a clever way to diffuse floor reflections (here is radical method db-systems.fr) in a room that is not dedicated listening environment.My daughter spread out an enormous playmobil plastic collection the other day in the area between me an...

Apologies for blurredness: room is very dark hence long exposure times.At listening level. Note the driver is off, hence light at the centre.Side view. Note the larger horn can move in the horizonal plane to time-align it with the S2. Back chamber is...

I was reading a few days back a review of very popular audio reviewer of a very popular speaker. I could name the person and product but I do not want to give to them even negative publicity as they both are idiots. Anyhow, the review wax the poetry ...

Hi, I'll be out in SF next week, any recommendations on interesting audio types to visit? I would be very interested in listening to reasonably-intelligent reasonably-efficient (i have small listening room) non-horn set-ups??Thanks for any tips...

Hi [quote user="Romy the Cat"]…. The “live” bass never “dynamic” and ... Rgs,Romy the Cat[/quote] ?????? I don't understand what you mean here, Romy? To me "live" bass ( like when listening to an orchestra ) is much more dynamic than any reproduced b...

People forget that their floor, subfloor, & other associated structural pieces connected to & part of the listening room will have to EQUAL the standards of the Verdier. Do NOT count on your contractor no matter what he promises you. Sound ...

Another day I was visiting one audio blog that had a large report about a private audio installation and the event around this installation. The installation was celebratory to say at least and the equipment was something that would make any senior a...

I always advocate that a civilized audio-practicing person must have one playback. I very much did not like the Morons who have multiple duplicating amplifier, speakers and multiple listening rooms. For sure they all produce slightly different fl...

[quote user="zanon"]I know that because of your new mid bass horn, the speaker position is mostly fixed. So you move chair.
I am wondering -- to those of us who can move both chair and speaker, how do you go about getting system to play the ro...

It might only appear that it is irrelevant subject. In reality this is the subject of my LONG DREAM… and I have almost realized it.
I spend entire days to redo the Air Conditioner system to accommodate it for my listening room. The house has a...
