But who says an A2-capable amp should actually be driven into A2 in use? I thought you planned to operate the amp well within its limits, to get the DHT benefits without subjecting the amp to the sorts of stress that always spoils these little thing...

Thanks for reply. But I'm confused,Romy says"In general: when you pause your CD transport your room should not go silent but Sound should very softly and gradually decay to a noise level"Ok we can listen to this but what can we do to improve if the d...

There is a lot on this site about room treatments, if you take the time to look for it. For example [url=http://www.goodsoundclub.com/GetPost.aspx?PostID=1829&Phrase=sails]remember this from a few years back?[/url] I suggest you browse the site for a...

Well, I need to admit that with arriving Thomas and to a
degree with adopting Amy my relationship with my listening room have changed.
It is not the relationship change but the volume that listening room occupies in
my daily practice. I very much ...

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...

It was 7 years ago. I was living in downtown Boston for 16
years and enjoying the opportunity to step out of my apartment at 3AM and to
meet women who can afford plastic surgery. Then I felt that I was getting to
old to be in city and I move to s...

I need to say that I am beginning to “get” the people who
advocate “isolated” rooms. Thomas begins to walk and he is becoming a self-propelling
weapon of mass destruction. At this point I do not mind to see him to be lock out
of my listening room’...

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...

It looks to me that I will be able to live with my 6 driver
line array. Again no measurements were made but it is what it “looks”. Sound-wise it is very reputable and I just might
leave it as is. My current room is 6 larger to what I had in downto...

I did an update for a smaller room (4 m H x 8 m W x 12,5 m D). I do not have idea if something like this would work properly:...

Romy, do you still have the "bass traps" from your previous house? I also hate an "over-damped" room, but it might be useful to know more about the "character" of the room modes you have mentioned. Sure, the 60 Hz plagues everyone. The RTA will te...

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...

Collin,I would suggest that you abandon the idea of placing your speakers against the back wall with that reflecting/diffracting angle in front of the speaker(s). Such a structural intrusion would not be kind to the polar radiation pattern ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, Nicanor, I very much disagree that room acoustic being basically invisible to us. People who deal with sound more or less intelligent always not only pay attention to room acoustic but recognize sound ONLY in context ...

With exception to the fact that I have no bass my new room did not give me a lot that I feel might be qualified as strange. I still do not know this room as good as I knew my old room but I will be there, it is a derivative of time. It is not tha...

[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

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Ok, I think it is a good time to deal with room acoustics. All infrastructure problems are set. The Midbass horns are underway; the electricity will be investigated but as now is addressed by PP2000. Macondo and Milqs a...

It is funny that as I bought the house I did not have any use for this room, in fact I did not even liked this room but with recent event I truly developed appreciation of the room. I totally rebuilt the decor of the room, converting it to the ve...

I always said that appearance of listening room has own harmony and in many cases just a look at a listening room gives you an internal image about the music you associated with the room’s feel. My own listening room has different feeling at day and ...

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...

Hi Romy and othersI am in the initial stage of planning a new home, which will have a dedicated music room. I noticed Romy in another thread you were impressed with the rough stone walling. This looks like a great way to disperse reflections. What I ...

I think you have no way to run away from your room modes and the standing waves ...starting 28 hz is due to your big room dimension for sure and the standing wavesYou need to correct your fundamental room modes(below 100hz) by using limp mass acousti...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The "listening to the room" is NOT the DPoLS subject in my view, however, if you feel that it is then it is fine with me.

I never knew that it will be so much fun. As I started the basement cleanup project I did kind of remotely conceptualize that I will try to make a winter pipe smoking place. Instead I discover in my house a new listening room that I have to tell you ...
