Post Subject: Again…Posted by Romy the Cat on: 4/22/2010

Again, moving the speakers last night I felt that I really would like to move the speakers closer to the mid of the room – the further the speakers from the back wall the more interesting sound. There is another “again” in what I felt last night. I truly would like to have my LF channels on the extreme right and left of Macondo‘s MF island. The problem is that in this room if the Macondo MF are sitting closer to the mid of the room then the right/left from them would not be the best place for LF section as they would not load the room properly from there. The source-wise it is the best place for imaging but the loading-wise is very much not the best. Sucks, I need to think how to optimize it.

If I would not peruse the midbass horn then it would be a good idea to separate LF section of two channels –Upper LF and Lower LF. Then the lower LF would go to the corner of the room where the bass is the best but the Upper LF would sit on the Macondo right/left, stretching the presentation wider and more “dramatic”. It might be a chance if I do not go for midbass horns but at this point I do not consider the 2 tier LF section.

There is an option however. The Macondo/Milq LF channel does surprisingly good in the new room. It might be that I will be able to go away with just Milq LF amp – that would be very nice. I will know certainly what I start to do some measurements and it is very possible that I would need just a few DBs. So, I was thinking that I might try to make another LF section, identical to what I have but to install that new LF section at the right/left position from the Macondo MF horns to be complimentary to the bass arrays. That reminds to be a possibility,
