In the Thread: A listening room for a domesticated Cat?
Post Subject: Great dayPosted by Romy the Cat on: 4/7/2017
 Today I spent quite a number of hours listening the new playback. As comfortable I am with playback response there are a few aspects that I do not like.

1)      I do not have enough gain and I would like the damn thing to be slightly louder
2)      The imaging is UGLY, this nice holographic effect that we all so love is there but in a quite unpleasant way, at least not in the way how I accustomed.
3)      There is some odd vertical vectoring that should not be there.
4)      I can’t figure out where is the listening spot. The better system setup the more distinctive advancements in sweat spot should be.  I am sliding my listening chair back and forth for good 3 feet and I do not see the hot spot.
5)      The quantitative frequency response is there but the playback does not “breathe” on its own. The sound is labored and forced.
6)      The seductiveness of the sound is probably the worst I had for years… 

So, I begun to move the speakers. I mean really move them, more than 3 feet forwards and I think Macondo read the back wall too much. Amy was screaming that room is becoming too small but I guess she need to deal with it. As the Macondo moved to the mid of the room the imaging begun to blossom. I changed the configuration and layout of midbass and cross it way more aggressive then I though at 85Hz. Keeping moving the Macondo I got a lot of things addressed. I do not have now that super acute ability to relate the spacer positioning with very fine aspects of imaging. I use to have it but during the last 2-3 year of kids journey some of my sensitively get weakened. It is OK, I will pick it up back, I juts need Thomas stop playing his damn xylophone while I am listening and Charley do not scream like a wounded in ass hyena. I know that the things I deal with take time to understand myself, but I did have a very good kicked off session today and I am very enthusiastic with the progress I did today.
