Post Subject: A rare opportunity and Amy’s cute windowsPosted by Romy the Cat on: 8/24/2012

I need to admit that the unfolding now events around the hardwood floors do extend a rare opportunity for me to rethink the playback in my room. I do not have need or reasons to make any significant changes but there are many minor things, perhaps sensible only by me, that I would never do as the playback was settled in the room. The need to remove EVERYTHING from the listening room opened a lot of room for thinking: HOW to put the things back. I do have some minor organization ideas that I will do different, the ideas that I would never render if I did not start to setup my playback virtually from beginning.

BTW, the story about glass surfaced that I have on the back wall is kind of found a nice unexpected solution. Amy absolutely hates the soft tube blinds that I had on the windows. The large windows and the 25 feet sliding doors that I had are directed to south and they are field with sun all time. I am not a big fan of super sunny wall in the house and I always had my acoustically –perfect blind down. Amy killed it; she never let the blinds down and always keeps the windows and doors wide exposed. With all acoustic horror it might cause come another, always balancing discovery.

Amy, as most of the women is into plants. She buys plants and pots in obscene amount and we would be living in some kind of jangle very soon if she not one wonderful quality in Amy. She is absolutely clueless how to care of plants; she does not know that plant needs water and sun. As the result in a few weeks all her plants dies and Amy walks around leafless dead plans and wondering why it was happening. So, we have managed to keep a natural more or less natural balance of plans in house. However, some of the tropical in-house plants that were placed across the southern glass French good did not die and I need to admit that I do like that new to me décor. It makes also a wonderful randomizing acoustic diffuser over the large glass surface. I’m even kind of thinking to get more plans. The monkey and pythons will come next for sure.

The reality is that a combination of life and artificial plants looks like makes a good acoustic grass treatment. Now, during the summer the in-house plants work very nicely with the forest outsell of the house. I guessing it will be different during the winter part of year but we might try to winterize the Amy’s plants with some kind of seasoning decoration….
