Ok, my new listening room is repainted and ready to accept audio setup. Probably this weekend, if I have time left, I will make a first try with Macondo. I think the main thing that I need to figure out now is what would be a listening distance in r...

Vibrating floors are a two-way street, eating certain enery and pumping back/increasing other energy, if only as the "in the shadow" effect. I would not bother to try to math/model it when emperical testing will tell me anything I want to know a...

Well, there are two aspects of this question: The listening room of around 4 sq meters and listening room in bedroom. I do think that they are different categories. A small size listening rooms from my point of view are not a problem and I do think t...

Ok, how to start. First of all we have to understand that out subject of attention will be a region between approximately 80Hz and 500Hz or something that shape the fundamentals of the “melody range” within your playback. Search my site I have writte...

Hey Anthony,Your project is going on track (and looks like a very good track)! 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 y...

Today is a first day since we moved to the new house last June
when a local audio guy comes on over to do some listening as I feel that the
room and playback setup is over. It is kind of important to me to have this introvertial
milestone, to know...

I never thought that it will be so much fun to demolish my listening room. Right after the Labor Day my contractor starts to rip up the carpet and lay down the quarter sawn parquet. I will be at Cape during the weekend, so I have preparing the room n...

The "second [living] room" idea has proven to be a good thing, if you can find a house that is big enough, with large rooms that are configured to make this work for you. Cost wise, it is better to find something already built than it is to build ne...

Thanks for the encouragement, Jessie. Actually, a much larger "room" is available, but it is +/- "divided" by wing walls and an archway, along with a large side wall opening, that I know from experience would eff up the spa...

Scooter, I know what you ask. I wish I have a cleared time to deal with audio. Unfortunately since my move I am engaged into a chain of events that has nothing to do with audio and that I do not particularly enjoy, but I need to do it now. This stupi...

[quote user="Paul S"]The frustrating thing for me while messing with the mounting screw tensions was that there was never a universal "best" setting that involved looseness, but it would all change with different sources or at different volume settin...

First of all, season's greetings to all. I have been thinking about this issue for a few months now and was reluctant to post a question in case it was premature! There must always be some niggling doubt whether any real estate adventure will materia...

Finally, it has happened. Sound. Two weeks ago I had a couple of mates help me carry up and install the first DSET on its pedestal on the horn stack. It was quite a bit of effort and three were definitely required for the heavy but delicate operat...

[quote user="HookEm"]But, although it seems things are moving in a good direction, the overall presentation still seems a bit dry (not as fluid as my head tells me it should be).[/quote]HookEm, it was a bit is very generic comment that does not expre...

None of the commercial speakers might relay on the Imbedded principles because the obvious reasons. They always look for as neutral as possible location because they mostly designed for anechoic operation. However, if the Imbedded techniques are used...

With all my domesticated obligations I did not have neither time
nor strength to setup my playback. This week I decided to do something. Complimentary
to my mood a long time site reader happened to be in Boston and he volunteered
to spend with tim...

A few days back a local audio guy come to my place, heard some music and I played and said something that did not expect from his level of audio intelligence. (I wonder if it was the same guy who advised me to write a handbook “How to make friend...

A six year ago or so when I played with different compression drivers I bought a pair of Dukane 5A540 and at that time I was not able to find any information about them. Nowadays I was pointed out that an eBay sealer “ bayleafs” actions a pair of Duk...

There were had few days. First it was complete distraction of my listening room, than the contractors put the new hardwood floor together and then the complete rebuilding of the listening room, back to the sate it was before. Well sort of…

Ok, Andrew, this is allergy something. I would highly advise you in future before you post any discrete updates, questions, and ideas about what you to inform about the holistic objective of your project, sort of a view from 50.000 feet...

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...

Ok, It looks like we more or less successfully moved in. It took 5 days of professional movers to move our crap. God, we need to throw away a LOT!!!Anyhow, not we are unpacking. The irony is that my listening room will be unpacking and assembled the ...

Oh I think it is very much a recursive arc but not in terms of audio fidelity etc as much as life history. But sometimes we can reculer pour mieux sauter. As big a problem as audio systems are to musical fidelity, the room effect is just as jarring. ...

Macondo is no magic bullet. Sure, Macondo/DSET is put together in a way that it's components need for optimal operation, and when "used as directed" the performance is phenomonal, but it is still prone to room integration and poor setup so will like...

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...

Andrew you got to read the site, get into it, there is a lot of useful information regarding excactly the project you are going into, is there any difference if the threads are addressed to you or someone else? Most of them are Romys own learning ex...

Thanks, Robin I do not drink and the wine/beer cultural cult is a bit above me. I still do appreciate however a good moldy and decadent décor of wine cellar but unfortunately it would be very different for the style of the listening room that I am ha...
