[quote user="haralanov"] Romy, I do agree with all your comments. It is true that the magnitude of the rubber taste very much depends on the crossover frequency. I used them below 64Hz, but with first order filter, implemented before the amp that...

[quote user="zanon"]….what are your thoughts on these "escape" areas that essentially unseal the listening room? [/quote]
Zanon, I do not have general thoughts. I do not particularly believe in the generalization but rather in the specifics an...

[quote user="Saturntube"]Similar experience but I get to keep my "old" room. I have just changed my 5 way horn loaded down to 140 hz speakers to a friends room twice as big as mine, with an open back area into the house as your new room has and o...

Ok, the very first thing in your way to the proper Imbedded Macro-Positioning is to undusted what you what to accomplish. Most of you redder can not understand it before 2 reasons:

Actually it is not exactly accurate. In the way my Macondo is a magic bullet. If you read carefully old article about Macondo axioms then you will see that one of the major underlying principle...

With stereo you hear sound from more than one source (speaker) and the sound from each source is very nearly the same except for some variations in amplitude of certain frequencies and some phase differences which occur because the microphones us...

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...

[quote user="Jorge"]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 R...

[quote user="Serge"]I will think about it. Romy, of course you know me. Use your little grey cells as Msr Poirot used to say.Initial thoughts: hunting HF reflections and damping them is generally not a good idea. It is like making a speaker cabinet c...

Gould was such a great talker! I love listening to him on just about any subject. But don't let this stop you from digging into it, if you want to "fix" it.LBJ, there are bound to be periods when, and plenty of varying reasons why, one just is not ...

Ok, it took my listening room 2 years to be fully functioning and I have decided to take it a notch further. Next week I will be breaking one of the wall in my listening room and if the roof will not collapse as the result then I will have beauti...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

[quote user="anthony"]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 p...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I didn't read the entire thread, but enough to get the gist...This guy admits he's tone deaf, but he's likely also a good fabricator, is not afraid of large-scale work and seems willing to listen. Doesn't that make him a p...

Unicon, Can you describe you methods of “using limp mass acoustic”? The feeling to find with the thing acoustically is waking up in me from time to time but I develop a new tendency lately – I do not want to see big speakers in my listening room. No...

Interesting. Living in city I did not truly experience rain, snow, wind and any other weather elements as all of it was out there, out of the walls of our city-barricaded live. City life is made to discard the influence of snow. Even if had 2 f...

Well, wouldn't you know that my wife is an artist, too. Although she hasn't been very productive for the past couple of years, she is totally over-the-top manic when she does work, and we have the usual artist's home, with tons of art...

Ron, if I may, then as a software engineer, I would pass some criticisms regarding to what you do. It is fine that you are soliciting sponsors but I do not think that sponsors get anything for their sponsoring. The taglines that sponsors allow to...

The more I play with me room the more I fell in love with it. As I mentioned before there are so many truly perfect features in the room that I very frequently note that if I build the listening room from scratch according to my own design then very...

maybe what is mentioned as being some myths is closer to what at least used to be pretty close to the actual truth?Wilson speakers are pricy, expensive, un-affordable, take your pick. So maybe some of the commentators about Wilsons never had one ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Kunashirsky, I do not want to “estimate the remastered vinyl obtained by this technology”. Nether I want to “go to Page 8 of your site” or to any other page. It look like you have some kind of strong believes about some kin...

I no doubt fall into the category of the 70%. My playback has not been as satisfying as I would like. Many of us do not know where to turn when we hit a brick wall with extracting the best results. The default reaction is to look for a piece of equ...

[quote user="noviygera"]p.s from my experience of having a 500 sq. ft. listening room with 7 ft. ceiling and having two 18" woofers in a infinite baffle configuration, it is not enough to pressurize the room. I am talking about low and medium listeni...

The room is actually bigger now (about 75m2) but the whole orientation has changed. The speakers were at the opposite side of the room near the windows. Having windows for a front wall had a detrimental effect on sound in the old layout. The absorpti...

I think it is very interesting subject and I’m looking for first hand opinions by people, using properly sounding upper bass horns in their listening rooms. I’m not interested in theoretical opinions – only by opinions, coming from personal listening...

The entire morning I am cleaning house and listening WCRB, warming myself up for 3MP broadcast of Riccardo Muti leads Chicago with Verdi's Requiem. Hey, did I tell you that am listening my new midbass horns? Well, I do and I do not. The throats of th...
