I find an interring house that I like. Ironically it is very much not what I was looking audio-wise. It has a lot of real-estate lucidness and I feel it has a lot of very interesting audio opportunities. The listening room is small, 2 times small...

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 ...

[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...

[quote user="Jorge"]I guess you cannot say you listened to a horn system if you dont have an upper bass horn. [/quote]Yes, I can very much concur with it. The upperbass and MF horns set the frame of the sound, sort of sonic skeleton upon which everyt...

I personally like the idea of an audio room like a very dedicated room, Monoplatz with only the sweetspot seat. If I have to climb through an elevator or slide into a cockpit it is fine as long as the machine runs fast!For me it is like submerging m...

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 ...
|
My minimal distance between front of the upper bass horn and listening position is irrelevant as I set the proximity not according the upperbass but according a vertical shifting of HF image. Under a normal circumstances I might be as liitle as ~7.5”...

Thanks guys for advice but I have my own view on the subject. The new listing room if it goes through has many very good features that I do appreciate very much. Even the integration of the room with the rest of the house is absolutely perfect, ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] For a casual observer it might appear that I am constantly fought with my ULF, finding and loosing better and worse configurations. It might be so but I have a very strong sense of objective of what I would like to ac...

There was a big room in there with big Schweikert speakers (with thier grainy and insultingly confident Sound), some king of not particularly good electronics and the entire EMM Labs’ front-end. Many rooms at the show used EMM Labs so-call preamplifi...
|
Here's what I would do.In general :Start by excluding the DPoLs, excluding the electronics and associated gear, and considering just the room. With no electronics functioning, is the room an acoustically pleasant space ? Invite friends over and ...
|
This concept of having a new listening room not contaminated with playback elements is very interesting. I did not have “living room” with no playback for… many-many years, so I am kind of not accustomed to it. I do not think that I wanted to have li...

In reference to the post Agile Room Acoustic Treatment? in the “Romy The Cat's new Listening Room” thread.I am slowly contemplating to practice SOME reinforcement of live instruments in my listening room. It is mostly string chamber group. Even thos...
|
Zanon, it sounds like you are dealing with very typical "big room issues", among which are a large-ish disparity between the amounts of "charge" you experience from different frequencies at a given point in your room. As you get into this, you should...

Cool morning and some great music early, but things got worse as the temperature rose.I finally +/- gave up on just listening to music and started listening to the ingredients, and then I started to move around the room as I listened.Based on a ...
|
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...

Perhaps that sick idiot who was popping up at my site last year and who insisted that I am gay was right. Perhaps I am a gay as I lately discover my unhealthy interest for cheap room decoration…. Oh, well I wish I was… The reality is that the appear...
|
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...
|
T3GGG,
I am sorry I do not clearly get you. Are you asking about your speakers or about room? If you are talking about room, which the subject of your posts suggests then will it be a dedicated room or integrated room where your playback will...
|
Thanks for the kind words Romy. I am enjoying taking my time with this project and getting things just right. It sure helps when there is little development involved, just duplication more or less. Development may come later as I impose my exp...

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...
|
Sounds as though you had a wonderful time. The Brinkmann room alternated between three tables, their 'La grange ' direct drive 'Oasis' and a balace with a 'Thales' tonearm, the Verity's use a ribbon tweeter Raal? Which in that undamped room was just ...
|
I have an opinion, admittedly "based" on only a few personal experiences, that basement rooms are very good for developing low bass response. It has something to do with the absolute rigidity of the majority of the room boundaries, again just in my ...
|
The more I looking and thinking about the pool of available idea and properties then more I come to a “ridicules” conclusion that I most likely will not find what I need and what I like. The point is that if I combine my requirement for not suspended...

A few days back I visited a local audio guy and had a couple hours listening session with him. It was immensely pleasurable it only because very good sound that his playback demonstrated but also by the fact that he had comfortable listening chairs. ...

Here is the room that I really like. It looks like a bit too small room for big music but still the “room treatment” and the room’s natural cavities are very very very good. The image is by Zagreb-based Ring Audio Company. http://www.ring-audio.com/r...

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:
1) You were thought and learned wrong thing for too long2) ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Is there no way to smooth out the visible steps in the latter part of the horn's expansion or would you prefer not to?[/quote] This is very interesting one. Yes, there is a way to smooth out the visible horizontal steps. Th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Tomorrow a cleaning lady will de-dust and clean the house and the acoustic treatment will go to the walls. [/quote]I figure out that it is time and put some acoustic treatment on the walls and at some spot of ceiling. The 2...

It is well known that the requirements to acoustic environment for life music and for audio installations are very different. For life music we need much more what we would call in audio “live” acoustic setting, letting the instruments to breat...
