Yes, Haralanov, you do pay attention to the right things. I use to write about this room in Moscow. The guy talk about a lot of things with pretentious attitude but one single look at his listening room turns me off instantly. It is for sure a wo...

The appendix in the corner of my room (I think it called rotunda) is very cool thing – it is where all my equipment lives – superbly comfortable and I can’t dream for better layout of my listening room. I am not kidding. However, there is one however...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]Romy,How about putting bass tower #2 directly behind#1, but facing the opposite direction from #1? This would keep #2 away from the turntable, yield a symmetrical setup and enable #2 to energize the hot spot around your chair...

A few nights ago I slept in my listening room, on the floor and we were listening Bruckner 8… My floor in the listening room does not vibrate but as I lied on the floor (4” futon) I did pick up some bone vibration during the orchestra climaxes. I was...

Again, none of the pneumatic methods would work as any pneumatic leak air with time and it will be no access to it after the horns are installed and the walls are finished. Not mention that we have no high to play wit. We will be doing the follo...

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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, it might sound as a heresy to you, but I personally
consider the impedance curve is a bit irrelevant in this application. In this application
you need to care only about only 2 things: if you have enough power in yo...

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...

Ok, this week we are moving to the new house, to the new
listening room for all intended purpose. I is kind of crazy in here for a last
few weeks. The new house has “Romy’s Wing” with designated listening room but
it is not my immediate objective ...

Rowuk, I think you take the subject of acoustic in listening room a bit wrongly, would it be for audio or for your trumpet. The reflection of bass wave back to the listener is not the problem at all, at least in my assessment. The key is in decay pat...

Well, yes... I've not been to prison in over two years! Apart from keeping me off the streets at night, the results when listening to one of the 40Hz horns were, dare I say, encouraging, though I do hesitate to say so, as the "evaluation" was carried...

Well, this is the difficult time, embedding a changing, complex system into a new, large room. I am not clear if the sound has changed over time (since you were more positive about the sound, earlier) or if you have just become more aware of aspects...

el`Ol,it is quite fascinating how well you depicted (listening to WP 8!) what I heard, listening to some 5.xI.E. "some characteristic shining or radiance probably induced by the breakup of carbon-doped paper cones in combination with the anorganic-pa...

As one might suspect, the vaulted ceilings eat and augment the sound in totally unpredictable ways. Hard to say if sails would help or they might eat the wrong frequencies. I would start by trying to get the room as hyped up as I could and then sta...

The whole room (L-shaped) is larger as you all noticed, but as Roman saw in my Blog , the listening space is smaller - i.e. about 6,5 x 4,5 meters with low 2,70 ceiling - and is a perennial work in progress... yes, the Stereo Lab 1000 hz is a true wa...

Romy:In your picture you have central area of listening (listening massif, if you will) and then around it you have openings to other parts of the house. If you estimate square feet of listening massif, it is maybe ~400 sq feet, but if you add all th...

I'm of the opinion that listening room aesthetics play a big role in enjoying music at home. This is self-evident, but over the many years playing with audio, my listening room has become incrementally cluttered with "audio detritus". It's ugly and...

Romy,You maybe thinking of your a/c problem backwards.
In use, air conditioning vents become louder as the air speed and turbulence increase. Reducing the aperture of a vent can increase noise because a reduced aperture increases air flow spee...

Along with last remodeling that we performed in Opera Room the room is becoming more the most pleasant room in our house. In fact we spend now more time then in listening room. We eat there, we watch films there. Sometime we watch TV there. I sleep t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]May 16, 2010: My ultimate wet audio dream was to have Bruckner Room. But so far it turning out that I got another big B room. Since 3 days back I stopped the intellectual masturbation with my room my playback up for the...

Robert, Yes, of cause I understand it. The problem is that when I laid down the pipes under the midbass horns there was no larger diameter available then 6” pipes, there was no more clearance under the mouth. So, my listening room has two 6” pipes an...

Well, we were thinking to rent out the old hours, there are obvious
cones and pros but the topic would not rise to the subject of this site. What interests
me in context of the site is the requirement to the new listening room. I still
would like ...

Wify was asking me about my ideas about midbass horns at one
nice property that we looked. Her innocent question made me to think. I do look
at my prospective listening room from point of view of introducing midbass
horns. I am not planning to mak...

I got home today and was listening the music of my carpenter in my basemen cutting the wood for my midbass horn. I was slowly thinking about the location of my perspective lower bass channels. The Midbass Horns, if the things go well, will cover...

I receive an email form a visitor of my site with a “news” and was really laughing! Yes! I hate to know everything but proposed by me “The Rules of the Audio Morality Propagation” do work like a Swish watch!
It was enough of one audio cretin (...

I need to admit that I absolutely adore my listing room. I like absolutely everything about it and if I enumerate what hat I like about it then the list will be long. Ironically, from a perspective of self-education I sometime try to nail down wh...

"The Shepherded” are the representatives of audio herd, among those, whom the audio industry “affected” the most.
The Shepherded audio person usually has reasonably well paid job and from reasonably to highly educated. He has some extra money and e...

+++ Going back in time to your Super Macondo with the midbass horn, I'm wondering how did the big horn influence your perception of Macondo sound if you remember?
Yes, it is very very good question and essentially the question which r...
