[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The appendix in the corner of my room (I think it called rotunda) is very cool thing – it is where all my equipment lives – superbly comfortable and I can’t dream for better layout of my listening room. I am not kidding. Ho...

Amy told me that when she first time visited me my room appeared to her like an interrogation facility: large room with bunch of equipment and a single chair in the middle. I understand where she got the idea from but I loved that free standing s...

I, in my stupid imagination, thought that I will be able to close my R&E saga as I thought I found a truly wonderful new home for myself. The palace turned out to be grossly, I would say fraudulently, misspresented. Got home very disappointed an...

[quote user="noviygera"]p.s from my experience of having a 500 sq. ft. listening room with 7 ft. ceiling and having two 18" woofers in a infinite baffle configuration, it is not enough to pressurize the room. I am talking about low and medium listeni...

After looking at the pictures at http://www.webbtjanst.se/lenco/loudspeakers.aspI'm feeling like it is both your room and the unfinished horn throat. Maybe more room related. If there is a rough section of your horn throat with "steps" of 3/4" m...

A strange post. You asked specific recommendations but you provide nothing that would warrant any specificity. A 9mx8m room is good but it itself does not mean anything. Where are the doors and windows, what kind other architectural peripherals will ...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]I'm sorry to say it, but I think Amy's large rug is too large. A smaller one, or better yet, two much smaller ones with some bare floor in between, is what I would play with.I also think you should recalibrate the channel lev...

[quote user="tuga"]What have you done with your room?I hope these carbuncles you've dessiminated across your room are only temporary and that you'll replace them with some acceptable props.[/quote]Yes, it is kind of unpleasant. As many people I hate ...

It was as a year with a 2 major of audio events: New listening room, New Midbass horns, New ULF channel. It took almost 6 months to get any more or less reasonable sound in my new listening room, not that I was working so long on the room but rather ...

There are still room modes to contend with the first starting at about 41Hz.Here is an impedance plot of the left Bass Cannon as seen by the amplifier, so including speaker cable.As you can see I managed to get Fs down to about 44Hz and it turns out ...

The more I play with me room the more I fell in love with it. As I mentioned before there are so many truly perfect features in the room that I very frequently note that if I build the listening room from scratch according to my own design then very...

[quote user="zanon"]Romy: I see. So you are thinking about adding more transducers at this point and not just increasing crude level through more Watts. When you said Milquiades SET was insufficient, I thought you meant just W as you can always build...

Important thought I need to share with you all: try to make every piece of acoustical treatment accessible and adjustable for tuning by ear. This is perfectly in-line with acoustics theory by Skudrzyk (??????) and the great Wallace Sabine who defined...

Jessie, there is another solution that you might consider, that might be viewed as compromise for one-side as might not be view is compromised from other side. If to allowed ourselves to close eyes to midbass timing-integration and if the geography o...

I woke up and thinking about the horn problem with fresh head I am thinking what did wrong. I did not measure the frequency response of the horn – I did not see a need for it – the sound of the thing is way beyond where it needs to be measured. I dis...

[quote user="Murataltuev"] anthony wrote:This configuration should give somewhere around 109dB @ 20Hz from 15w in room with cone movement of about +-3.5mm. That is still low excursion, and they are excellent drivers. Well, in this case, I also hav...

[quote user="George"] I am not quite understanding part of what you say:
"It is very difficult to make a generalization about it but generally this quite “large bloomy space” will be a space equal to, I would say, 1/8-1/12 of the room ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, I did the measurements today and what I saw shocked me. Of the ULF sections has nice 20Hz at MF level then they have +12dB at 60Hz level. That explains everything but it also absolutely clearly indicates that the se...

Like I've said too many times, my wife has not much interest in music without rhythm (ie., dance music), and very little interest in "music" of any kind via audio, so she generally stays away from my audio sessions, which she refers to as, "Loud, bla...

The frequency where your room turns into a pressure chamber changes the way that we perceive bass. This is how we get "bass" in a too small space like an automobile. When removing the ULF channel, all of the music is transmitted in a natural way for ...

Ok, I found my RTA cable and did some very basic measurements of what Macondo does in the room. The results were in the direction that I anticipated but worth in amplitude. My right bass channel that that sited right next to the equipment bay has no ...

Connected today Melquiades and Macondo in new room. Macondo uses drivers as they are – no time or axis aliments of any kind yet, no Insertion Channels, no level calibration by channels. I just in-phase the channels and sat to listen, to see what happ...

user="kodomo"] 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 your room, calculate the nodes
and the amount of absorp...

[quote user="jeff1225"]I never understood the affinity that the Germans have for heavy metal. Whenever you going into any of their rooms at CES (especially MBL), Slayer is playing at 130 DB. Maybe it's the modern interpretation of Wagner.[/quote] Jef...

[quote user="unicon"]Since you added a new parameter in audio play back called : Decor I'm afraid, it may make it far too hard. [/quote]I agree but it I do not think that it would change my mind. Perhaps “décor” is not right word however; it is not...

The lower bass configuration in my room is a bit interesting below is the bass diagram (under 50Hz)
As you can see the allocation of hot bass sports is superbly favorable in the room. There is pretty much no bass anywhere in the ...

drdna,
The subject of room reflections is kind of completed topic but form what you described I do not think that your problems are there but rather in some kind of bug of your system that you will discover soon. Meanwhile, I would disregard any ro...

Hi everyone,It is quite ironic that the day I hear from Fane telling me that the Fane 8Ms are finally ready, I should receive this update from my horn maker maestro. Russ Collinson of Layers of Beauty. Russ, if you ever read this here, please take a ...

Actually it is not exactly accurate. In the way my Macondo is a magic bullet. If you read carefully old article about Macondo axioms then you will see that one of the major underlying principle...
