[quote user="zako"]ROMY Your analogy of fitting the foot to the shoe is on the right track... Some times you need is a better pair of sox,,,You dont need to change the decorum of the Symphony hall..When you have a shitty orchestra,,, Sometimes ...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

I feel strange tonight. I woke up at 2.30AM to feed the diabolically-smiling baby and as Thomas went back to sleep I keep walking back and forth of the listening room for 2 hours, having quite bewildering feelings. As Amy the Kitten moved with me we ...

I used a set of 2-way near-field monitors and a decent sealed commercial subwoofer in a study room that was quite enjoyable. Mostly listened to FM. That room was not much more than 3m x 3m with lots of alcoves, slanted ceilings and a thick nylon rug....

…if you are clueless what you do.
It never stop astonish me how senseless audio people are. Here and there they hear about the room acoustic and here and there they hear some buzz words: bass resonators, Tube Traps, WallDamps, diffusion panel, RPG S...

Room is extra nice, better then most i have seen on the web. We all will hear from you telling us there is no bass, in your new room. It looks like 300Hz down will suffer because square footage increase like 10 fold from last room. You will have much...

Ok, I think it is a good time to deal with room acoustics. All infrastructure problems are set. The Midbass horns are underway; the electricity will be investigated but as now is addressed by PP2000. Macondo and Milqs are inhaled, the system is up. I...

[quote user="oxric"] In my mind, and given my specific circumstances, the question of strategy is inextricably tied to the resources in terms of time, efforts and funds that I will be able to devote to this attempt to achieve what I have in mind ...

Yes, my DSET is fundamentally the same as yours with 6 channels, three fullrange, 1627a for Channel C. The largest difference is probably that my DHT channel has its own B+.My preamp is quite different though, being a hybrid based on 10y. It has a ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]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 whole week and li...

The idea of high quality delay makes me wonder if the delay effectively increases the virtual length of the room - allowing longer wavelengths before the room Schroeder frequency is reached. This would be a "softer" bass without the room compression....

[quote user="Wojtek"] I understand your sentiment toward Altec 19 apperance in your fireplace room …[/quote] Yes, this is exactly the problem – I like Altec 19 appearance and in particular I like how it looks in THIS room. In fact the appearance if m...

[quote user="tuga"] I am curious as to how you'll "integrate" the 63Hz mode into your acoustic system but I can see it possible without any "room treatment". [/quote] Ric, what I need to know how my dedicated midbass section will be decaying. There i...

Maybe, but from a practical perspective, theory can be pretty useless as the listening experience is the cumulation of many factors. My experience (if you care) is that at lower frequencies, room modes get increasingly more difficult to address but ...

About the proposed attic-mounted 40Hz horns: Is there an elephant in the room?I'm speaking of the proximity of two horns, relative to each other, and the possible consequence; namely they may end up working as a sort of mono horn... A situation furth...

[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....

[quote user="Saturntube"]Similar experience but I get to keep my "old" room. I have just changed my 5 way horn loaded down to 140 hz speakers to a friends room twice as big as mine, with an open back area into the house as your new room has and o...

I need to admit that I absolutely adore my listing room. I like absolutely everything about it and if I enumerate what hat I like about it then the list will be long. Ironically, from a perspective of self-education I sometime try to nail down wh...

Hello Romy and others,Ive been away for a long time taking care of my health but i'm back with renewed interest. I am moving to a new house in the future and have plans for a dedicated music room (and an occasional movie) The space is however much sm...

Hi Keith and congratulations for your new babies... I'm truly jealous of your room size.Me too, as I previously wrote, assembled a VERY similar rig, vastly inferior to you welded supports, any, using the same approach: S-150, S-3000 and S-400, respec...

The Opera Room is turning out to be a really bitch and I am very surprised how this room get transferred from a worthless place in the house to something that we really enjoy. As the new furniture and new sitting arrangement is got developed during ...

I have an Upright piano in my listening room, it has been there since day one, so I dont know how different my room would sound wihtout it... Maybe I will haul the piano out one day just to test it: nah...A bunch of years back we were testing two a...

[quote user="Serge"]2. Can you write once again what are the problems in your room which need to be solved acoustically. [/quote] Serge, the problem is very typical – a large reverberating room with naked walls, nothing too special and the HF need to...

I am playing with the tube traps and at this point I have a dual feeling about them. They are absolutely phenomenal HF absorbents, in fact much more powerful than any other tools I have heard. They suck HF from the room with a force of a good co...

Again, moving the speakers last night I felt that I really would like to move the speakers closer to the mid of the room – the further the speakers from the back wall the more interesting sound. There is another “again” in what I felt last night. I t...

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...

just been this feb in NY city to an exclusive Wilson studio. I thought that the rushy noisy exhibitions where their portfolio sounded very average to me was maybe not fair to judge, if everyone loves them so much. So in that studio i got all the time...

Similar experience but I get to keep my "old" room. I have just changed my 5 way horn loaded down to 140 hz speakers to a friends room twice as big as mine, with an open back area into the house as your new room has and one side and the front have hu...

Romy, I realize that you have a good deal more acoustic drive available than I do, but here is my experience, FWIW: I lived in a larger version of a very similar configuration for 13 years. My listening room was in "the same" spot as you pictur...
