Tube traps are mistakably designed as they tend to deal with a very erroneous assertion that it is possible to feel a listening room with some kind of confused and random bass and then to correct the things with...

A few days ago I visited a local friend of mine. He has a decent audio setup in his living room with mid-size monitors. Leaving aside what sound he is getting just would note that I know what to expect in his room. This time it was a bit more the...

It is interesting development going on in my listening room. Amy the Kitten is making her hands dirty to convert our man-cave nerdy house into something that we as a family would enjoy. With all horror that this move would inflict in the heart of...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Here I share some thoughts about what you have shown. I will
share only critical and warning thoughts not because I have nothing but critiques.
All nessesary compliments for your planning come as a default and I do not

[quote user="anthony"]This is excellent
information Romy. I have been worried about crossing the woofers at 100Hz
and would be much happier if I was able to cross them lower. We will see
how everything integrates into the room and if I do need t...

Last night a friend of my visited me and we spend an evening listing Wagner. He played Wagner himself a lot and he begin to make comments about sound of different sections and instilments in my room. I stopped him as Macondo in the new is no wher...

The last month was strange. We undergo a minor house overhaul.
It started from the fact that we looking around the house and discoed two extra
bedrooms that we did not exist. The result was kind devastating – we completely
remap the rooms of the h...

This there is the last in the “THE PROBLEMS WITH HORNS” cycle. The previous threads might be found at:
Problems with horns: tweeters.Problems with horns: mid-range horns.Problems with horns: mid-range drivers.
This would be probably the most contro...

Well, this basement is certainly not a basement with “sweaty
walls and floors”. It is perfectly finished and in addition to everything it
has its own (not just a zone but asset of completely dedicated and isolated
from the rest of the house...

I have today a local audio guy stop by at my place for some listening. He never was in my new place and was curios what have done with my new room and my new installation; he was in my old room. When I asked him to criticize what he heard he mention ...

Today a guy I know from south coming to my listening room to hear my payback. He is mingling with horns, he heard my installation in city and he is very much interested to hear my new listening room and the most important my new midbass horn. He actu...

Kodomo,Maybe you move low frequencies behind you to back room?...

Yes, the subject of the post is very accurate description of the sound that we have in that video. It is not surprise to me as know many of those fools spreading vintage paranoia and this is very frequently the sound they end up with. There are reaso...

Last night I was experimenting with integration of ULF and midbass and was playing relatively loud. The ULF woofers is at second order at 35Hz and the were located outside of my listening room, in the next room with a large wale between then, but...

Well, that is a small room, all right. Regardless, a "mid-bass deficiency" alone could literally evicerate big works. I have written up the Kubelik/BPO/Dvorak 9, because I think so highly of that performance. It should absoutely be loaded to the g...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Actually it is not about the “3D quality of silent passages” but about the silence being the PROPER continuation of the non-silent passages. I think I have cracked this one and thinking about it more I believe I have an ans...

[quote user="Saturntube"]Well this is the RCA LC-9A It is identical, with an extra cabinet for an 18" driver... We saw some old time reviewers going out of the room laughing and shaking their heads! We thought they were saying, yes a 50 year ...

It is very interesting and I truly can’t get it. Sound in my room is basically the same only now it is not act as some kind of proverbial cloud in the room but rather glues itself to the room walls. Before the event in the room were unfolded in front...

Romy,What worked for me may sound counter intuitive at first, but then everything worked out perfectly.Rotate the direction your speakers are pointing. In other words an example would be to rotate by a lot -- 45 degrees in relation to your room -- ve...

Well, many ways to try but not much room that I can move around. I am happy with the sound and happy that I still have a listen room. BTW - my seating position is 10 ft from the bass horn. My room is only 22'x15'x9'....

Your audiophile buddies must be deaf stitch, the Cessaro room was easily the best at the show, although to be fair there wasn't much competition, Magico sounded as if the sound was being pushed into the speakers, YG wasn't bad, their sealed aluminiu...

Romy!Just to be cleared, GOTO has never claimed that time alignment is not important nor to suggest their customer that time alignment is not important. In a home listening environment, it is very difficult to do time alignment with a 3 or 4 way...

Audio people constantly make, from my perspective, a big mistake trying positioning their loudspeakers in their listening room. While they do so, they try to make the loudspeakers to perform better in their rooms. However this is quite fatly thing to...

Petar,I thought for along time how to reply to your post. All my thoughts basically narrow down to this. You're a soulful guy. There is nothing smart I can say to add or subtract to you findings but I think that the result you will finally get from y...

Well, Daren,there is a huge difference between the 1.200 sq feet and 12.000 sq feet. The 1.200 sq feet is a good size room the 12.000 sq feet is good size concert hall for a couple thousand people…. So we are back to a sane listening room…. :-)Intere...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
The only concerns in my room are ceiling and a small fraction of
back wall. The back wall is very small – I am sure I will take care of
it. The ceiling is a bitch however. My leading idea is to use the sails
in th...

Without mentioning the reasons here are a few pointers: 1) There is no proper tone 2) Horizontal imaging is less refined then I would like it to be. 3) Sound is not wet enough. 4) At high volumes room can’t dissipate HF 5) S...

I thought the closer you got to the corners of the room the more floor support you would have in a given room, with sub flooring, your floor joists are going into blocks on the edge of your house so that would be the most support for Macondos, we...

Yes, the raised-floor-with-vaulted-ceiling rooms are very hard to charge properly. Perhaps you might at this point begin to work on some of the floor sink treatments discussed up this thread?The corner "nook" can be framed in, if need be, with a doo...

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...
