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...

Well, I figures that while I am not sure what to do with LF section and where to locate it I will live with my woofer tower from my old listening room. They did not work well as Lower-Upper-bass channel installed next to Macondo but in odd place, han...

Listening my new midbass horn, just left channel for now, I would like to share my observation so far about sonic result of the project. Generally the sonic result of the project have exceed my expectations, however not always in the directions ...

Hi Romy,Thanks for posting the review, I was looking forward to it as well. Unfortunately I would be hard pressed to find a better example of worthless drivel in audio reviewing, why does he even bother. The pictures are nice though, his listening r...

Again, I am not in position to make any judgment about the Tapped Horn as I still do not know if it is produce faulty sound or not but from design perspective a Tapped Horn opens some interesting design possibility. If the horn is large then it still...

Actually I have no interest to compare Tape vs CD vs Vinyl, I enjoy listening to music even when I listen to MP3 in my Car. what is interesting to me is Tape machines are beautiful equipments and I enjoy looking at tape machines in my room.Analog sou...

My feeling about perfect listening chair has altered lately – I need another sit at my listening chair, so it kind of becoming a listening couch instead of listening chair. As much efforts I spent to explain to my girlfriend about time alignment and ...

I used to listen to one of those German tube table radios. Graetz Sinfonia or whatever.IIRC it had a SEP stage with some EL84 and a plastic kind of mini-horn for HF and in general was running oldtubes, has never been cleaned etc. But nevertheless aft...

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...

[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 ...

[quote user="drdna"]Maybe I don't know what DPOLS is, as suggested by others in this forum. All I know is that I can spend a lot of time fiddling with the exact location of the speakers, the sepcific 3 dimensional alignment of the two sets of d...

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 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 ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Regarding cone movement versus rear chamber pressure : I understand that low excursion explains to a great extent, the advantages of horn-loaded designs, I just don't understand how something that "does not move", can gen...

[quote user="steverino"]I agree that the published curves don't look bizarre for a box speaker. [/quote] Hmmm, I would like to note that my reference to "given topology" did not imply the "box speaker". Even a multichannel box speaker might have opt...

That is what I thought you were going for in the first place:You have the basement right under your listening room, and those wonderful Aura 18" woofers...You can place them sideways (very important) on some kind of vent that shoots into the room...

Haralanov, I do not think that the “information” that you found is indicative of anything. If they changed coils and diaphragms on their LOMO drivers (and I presume that if they change the diaphragms then they did not keep the LOMO original suspensio...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

Romy:If you can make the preferred chair and the couch easy to move, then you can quickly reconfigure the room for solo or dual use. Maybe put them on wheels?When you wrote "My listening hobbits become very shallow..." I could not help thinking the ...

[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...

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...

That's what I'd do. Maybe a High School or Music School that already has a room for allowing the kids listening to recorded music. If they hadn't the means for LP playback, I'd get them some sturdy and decent sounding TT.Sometimes I feel th...

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...

I might approach the problem a bit differently. Think "space efficiency" and "space effectiveness."In my travels, I have seen that a lot of Europeans and Asians live in very small spaces. Of course, the Japanese have their futon beds, which they can ...

I recognized that I have tired for the last week like hell. Do not ask me what I got tired from – I will not be able to say. That whole moving, packing, unpacking this was too exhausting… The good thing is that I go an interesting room as a resul...

Today is the last day of BSO season and the first day what my antenna is up and I might listen the BSO in it’s full glory. The azohen-vey Glory! I was listening the programs today before the live broadcast. It is not that I do not like the sound. The...

My cat that likes to chew loudspeaker cables. Especially is fond of NordOst flat cables. He is therefore is being kept out of my listening room but should somebody forget to close the door tightly, comes in immediately for cables or to jump on the tu...

Amy turned out to be a fireplace kitten and she spends a lot of time in our opera room, cooking her feet on fire and filing the room with marvelous purring. We were planning to do major Opera Room remodeling this winter but the resent Hurricane Sandy...

This year is the first winter that I live with this new listening room. Last winter the playback was up and I still was playing with minor arrangements of my ULF channels, cable and a few other things. For many months I do pretty much nothing with my...
