I think my new room and new midbass horn will give me an opportunity to play at the NEW LEVEL with a notion that I have been chasing for years. I am taking about perceptual shrinking of frequency response. I need to admit that most of the ugliest character of most of the loudspeakers out there is that they are not that full range acoustic system but each not then produce then try to spread it in a widest possible range. That artificial virtual extension of range, combined with dymick deficiency and tonal restrain is very unpleasant to my ears. Year back I call it Porcupine Sound but very few understood what it meant.

What I am trying to do is sort of reverse the situation and to make a truly wide range he plays to play mostly midrange. Partially I was able to accomplish in my old room and there are some reference about it in the following thread

.. but I think the new room will take it further as the longer reverberation time in my new room is such a power tool to keep lower MF longer! I would need to think about all of it when I will put the acoustic treatment on the wall and when I will set up the new Macondo balance.

What I listen live orchestra from the sites where orchestra (that is certainly is able for stupendous wide range) is more or less properly balanced, I mostly do not hear audio extremes but rather IMPLICATION OF EXTREMES.  Yes, I do understand that most of the recordings are unfortunately done with microphones located much closer than any sane listening distance for live listening. However, I to advocate the Morons who record music to use “dummy head” approach is too long and the people who do recording it too spoiled with wrong ideas about recordings. What however they do not have fortunately control is how sound done in my room. This anti-porcupinenees or the anti-Magico/Kharma Sound is perfectly achievable by balancing sound on playback level.  I think my new room will give to me more options to do it then my old room.
