[quote user="Stitch"]One of my audiophile Friends did it the only way a real man has to do (he had a HUGE stereo System with 2 big monos and fat cables everywhere in his living room)He showed that his girlfriend (they married btw.) and said to her:"Y...

[quote user="oxric"] Your listening room probably needs to be heard to be fully appreciated but I am sure that in terms of ambient noise, good as it is, it could be better. You have these large doors opening on the outside and I have a feeling your h...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I remember a picture of an enormous living room with large glass windows behind avantgarde trios, bookshelves running floor to ceiling on the sides. ….[/quote]I was in that listening room in 2000. At that time the owner di...

[quote user="N-set"]Anthony, I'm sure you realize that air springs and bearings can only isolate from the structure born vibrations. Placing the tubes so close to the speakers you give them a great chance to catch strong airborne vibrations. Or will ...

While my R&E deal on hold (had to close tomorrow but proponed) I n order to keep some sanity I was playing with idea of listening room arrangement. As I told the room has a number of very cool properties that I fall in love to from start. One...

Room looks large and has a lot of potental, i also have simialiar room except no cubby hole on right channel. It would send up an alarm with me with low resonance problems on right channel do from cubby hole, Maybe you could put some type of sliding ...

I had yesterday our technician to make a first pass over the Mason and now it is eventually is in tune. It is become playable I have discovered a interring challenge. As I said before the acoustic setting for the piano is perfect in out listening roo...

In reading this thread I am compelled to ask the simple question about the rest of the room. In my experience moving furniture and room treatments also make a huge impact and must certainly inffluence the perfect lcation for any room as specifically ...

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...

It is a lot of work but it a lot of pleasure to work on it. I put Macondo in as is position. The ceiling will be painted and painter will be moving the speakers, so where the speakers are now is irrelevant. Still, the image below gives an idea what w...

Is there a pill for that too? Seriously, it would be very interesting to hear what solution you come up with because I have converted from listening music solo to a small number of audience (friends). So much that I listen by myself much less oft...

I need to admit that after out UK trip last month I got more sensible what Amy is striving to make the Opera Room to feel and to look. She is British and Finish offspring with British root to be very strong in her, she actually a direct descendant of...

More kids? Basically, bigger is better as far as accommodating a family AND hi-fi, IMO. I include my own family life experience along with my hi-fi/listening experience when I suggest a large, "available" room for listening, as well. In other words, ...

It is interesting lately to think about a new listening room
as a concept. We looked at a few good house that for this or that reason did
not work for us and one had a very good listening room, just a phenomenal location
in the house. A tall cathe...

Hi Roberts, Romy and others,Before this thread vanishes in undeserved obscurity, I have a question or two for you. I understand that the issue is a complex one and should be addressed with more care and paying attention to detail than I am do...

[quote user="noviygera"] Vasyachkin, if this is still relevant:I've tried dipole bass and dipole mids with horns mid/highs in my system. If anything, dipole works the WORST for the bass and here's why:It does not load the room with bass pressure (or ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Mani, my first thoughts were questions, whether you want to fill the room "like headphones fill your head" or you want to aim the speakers right at your ears and "do the mixing inside your head, like headphones".[/quote]Hi Paul,M...

Well, in context of a full-range speaker, like largest Wilsons or the similar, the answer would be unquestionably no. Even if we biamp those speakers then the LF still is too wide bandwidth and too geographically bind to the MF section. The wor...

The room shape depicted should be relatively easy to load, given that it is in fact rather large, volumetrically, so power to scale must be pre-supposed.As it happens, my own listening room was a lot like this for 13 years. 2A3 SETs with 97 dB BassZ...

Regarding the pictures above Whatever it is but the walls in that room are very for listening room. The wall like this of cause would not defeat any “unlucky” or “less successful” loudspeaker positioning in the room. Still with the wal like this is m...

[quote user="Serge"] The SIlbatone room was very large. They played an Edith Piaf record on a mono WE16B (or A, not sure). They played it very loud which I don't like, ever. I felt the system was made to show dynamics and it did it. The dynamic r...

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...

Yes I can understand that in your current room the music seems clearer to you but you prefer some slight additional low frequency reverberation from the room to mix with the musical decay of bass notes. But this gets into the whole question of how t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
The bass traps, the biggest one, have only limited effectiveness on the spectra of interest and usually have much more effectiveness in 2-3 octave above the spectra of interest. This make bass to sound less problematic b...

I am keep listening my just two channels: MF + upperbass. They sound good and I know this sound VERY well but there is one phenomena that I can’t explained/ in the old room my upperbass went to 95Hz-100Hz. In this new room it doe 140Hz BUT subjec...

Yep, they are in the same room. No opera room anymore. The

I fail to see why a dedicated audio room *should* be isolationist. If there are enough space (or good planning) the room can be made as a separated structure but at same time as a continuation of the whole house, allowing people to be there without d...
