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 are inhaled, the system is up. I...

Audio people constantly make, from my perspective, a big mistake trying positioning their loudspeakers in their listening room. While they do so, they try to make the loudspeakers to perform better in their rooms. However this is quite fatly thing to...

Armen,
If you look somebody to advise you in specifics then you are talking to a wrong person – I do not do it. Well, I do it but ONLY if I feel that the area of attention is very narrow and the question is well-understood by the person who asks. I ...

Dear drdna,
Thanks a lot for reply and helpful advises actually this is the only site I read these days. That problem with carpet was not low frequencies alone, surprisingly it did a lot more damage. Will you explain more about egg crate, my speaker...

Actually I did have it is past. At that time I used a low-pass filer on my upperbass horn. It was 103dB sensitive driver of 16Ohm, highly inductive, and I needed somewhere hear 800Hz, speaker level, the first order. Being an extremist I got 3mH coil ...

I am slowly contemplating to put a baby grand piano in my listening room. Besides all other considerations there is one that fascinates me - how the presence of a piano in listening room will affect sound acousticly. I do remember in past I had guita...

I've been reading about the acoustic characteristics of the world's great symphony halls, like Boston and the Concertgebouw. Did you know that Sabine, Berenak, and Cyril Harris mathematically defined those characteristics, using metrics like RT-60, ...

The Opera Room is turning out to be a really bitch and I am very surprised how this room get transferred from a worthless place in the house to something that we really enjoy. As the new furniture and new sitting arrangement is got developed during ...

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 ...

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...

Paul, yes behind one of the walls is a large volume cabinet, and one of my thoughts was to put a full range driver there, controlling the enclosure as necessary, and taking into account that I am not after amazing LF here. In space that small it woul...

I used a set of 2-way near-field monitors and a decent sealed commercial subwoofer in a study room that was quite enjoyable. Mostly listened to FM. That room was not much more than 3m x 3m with lots of alcoves, slanted ceilings and a thick nylon rug....

As we are looking for our new home I am slowly simmering in
my mind the ideas about new midbass horns. It is not that I am short for ideas
but I am not sure that I will take my family on a bumpy and costly ride to build
new horns. One way or anoth...

Well, I kind of begin to think what kind LF solution I might
have in the new room. The ULF might be fun to load on the ceiling in the way
how I described above. For the midbass I most likely will go for the
line-arrays with my beloved Scan Speak 2...

I found 2 recent room upgrades made life more comfortable:1. We recently installed a "cork" floor. Acoustically it is quite pleasing, as it is finished with some semi-gloss sealant but also quite sound absorbent naturally (irregular texture/soft surf...

What the most intriguing me in the new room is where the LF
will roll off. It would be wonderful of LF will run all the way down I was in
my Boston listening room but I see very little chance of it. Most likely it
will be a shortage of gain or pow...

Two of my local audio folks asked me to put online my thoughts
process about my listening room. Here are some basics. Yesterday, messuring my
room I got the following response in lower octaves. That is a typical response in
rondom rooms, or wh...

In my current configuration I have 11-11-3 measuring from tweeters.
First number is the distance between speakers, second is listening distance and
the third is the distance from the shudder where the horn axis are pointing out. This is not a good

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...

I find this solution of inlaying a solid (concrete?) plinth/platform in the flooring to support the speakers very elegant and it should be very efficient at eliminating floor resonances:You could also make a similar structure to support your equipmen...
