My Boston listening room was relatively high on absorption.
It sounded spectacular despite of it but it was small. By last listening room
was also slightly over damped, not as much as by Boston room. That was before
Amy. As Amy moved with me she b...

It is funny how it turns out to be. The listening spot, the 3-sit couch, located at sweet spot is not my favorite place to be nowadays. For sure it offers best sound and for “critical” listening there is nothing then to be at the middle pillow of th...

It is not the size that matters. I do not have big listening room and I do not like “big listening rooms”. I have a room of reasonable dimensions for what I am planning to do. It rather is on the small side of the “big listening rooms”. However, I do...

I suggest you keep the old room in tact. Continue to rent the place maintaing it as a second listening room in the city. Do not move any equipment. Koshka may not like living in suburbs and become more cantankerous than she already is. Start with...

N-set, you have actually struck upon one of the difficulties of not being the designer and builder per se, only an actively interested commissioner of a bespoke system from a third party. I foresee logistical difficulties in building the system in a ...

I am slowly contemplating to put a baby grand piano in my listening room. Besides all other considerations there is one that fascinates me - how the presence of a piano in listening room will affect sound acousticly. I do remember in past I had guita...

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...

This, from my prospective a superbly truthful article, was written by a Russian guy A. Polakov. I do not know who he is but the accuracy of Mr. Polakov’s experience regarding the subject and very similar Mr. Polakov’s and my observations of the issue...

I love late night listening sessions, low volume but still enough to wake up kids. Most surely they will wake up and cuddle next to you while you are listening, you will have this great image of your kid falling asleep on your lap through the whole l...

A local audio friend sent me a few days back a feedback
after visiting my new listening room:
“When we used to listen to music at your Woburn house I
could come home and still enjoy my playback. But listening to playback at the
Boxwood house ...

This weekend I was unpacking. I had a change to give to my new listening room a first early run. I was re-strategizing how the room will be setup and moved equipment in the room. My initial planning was fine and the equipment was fitting in the room ...

I spent today good 5 hours listening my new playback. For somebody who do not know me it would look idiotic to listen the playback with such a huge amount of problems and do not make any efforts to correct them. Defiantly the problems are huge: the m...

I got the house. I think the purpose of this there is expired and now probably I need a new one about my new listening room. Thanks for everyone who helped with the ideas and I think I did picked a very good new listening room with a LOT of promising...

Got the ultra low DCR toroids coil and pit them in use. Yes, it was very right move and they a bit trimmed the midbass tail. Playing with inductance and listening how the midbass decays (measurements are worthless in this case) I ended up with 4.8mH ...

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, ...

I have his ravel and debussy, amongst other treasures on LP. The debussy is a 5LP mono collection on EMI that is one of the few discs I keep at all times in my listening room (otherwise my LP collection is in another room as I share the lis...

This week Romy was kind enough to invite me over for a few days for some Apprentice work and philosophizing. As I alluded above, my Apprenticeship contribution consisted principally of moving some audio gear, searching for some esoteric stuff hidden ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]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

I can empathize with your fascination on how a piano might influence the quality of playback in your home. A grand or large upright like a Steinway K52 has a resonating sound board 6 feet long or more. A Steinway Model D concert grand sound board i...

This is the subject that keeps bothering me over the years and I have no idea why I never have written about it within my site. The subject of this article will be a completely irrational, located at the boundary of idiocy, behavioral pattern of the ...

I think in the realm of integrated listening and living rooms
with full stack 7-ch installation and 40Hz bass horn I did accomplish a very commendable
thing. You will hardly fine a listening room out there that would be as living-friendly
as mine ...
