In the Thread: A listening room for a domesticated Cat?
Post Subject: A semi-temporary solution for now.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 9/26/2017
After a few agonizing days I think a have decided for a provisional
solution. Listening and thinking about
options on a table and my current desire to invest time and resources I went
with 6+2 direction.
I have order 4 separate relatively-small sealed boxes for
Vitavox 15. They will be two per side midbass channels. I will not drive the Vitavoxes
all the way down and will be cutting them most likely with second order at 60-70Hz
at the bottom, so I can save some space on midbass enclosure and make instead the
midbass time aligned. At the bottom, probably around 40Hz it will be an array
of 6 sunspeaks. This trains never left the station… Bothe channels will be
driver from Milq LF section and will use passive filtration. I do not think
that 6 sunspeaks. Will be enough to deal with my current room but I am planning
to live it for now. It will be listenable and will make the Vitavoxes to “decay
slower”. The key would be to play with crossover separately for right and left channel
to dial very accurately the room. I also would like to experiment a bit with what
I call “distributed channel” where individual transduces will nave own enclosures
and can play individual timing games. In a past I did play with lower MF channels
this game and it was very powerful and it allow to spin a bit driver and to get
slightly different phasing. I never did it with multiple midbasses but it
should work the same + I can located the
individual midbasses incisures at different locations. Warn you that this is
dirty trick and if very oppose the idea to do it as in my view a playbacks
should strictly be time-aligned. What I would like to learn is the cost-benefit
ratio from putting midbass in “distributed mis-alignment” vs having a non-resolvable
extra 8-10dB in response. Let see how it goes…
I kind a sick not to have a playback operational. The 6+2
solution with passive filtration will give some option to play it “for now” let
see how I will feel about it with time. I do not need to make any big sacrifices
to set it us as I have everything, so let put it in use and see what I will end
up. I might add an extra 2 sunspeaks if I will be “almost there” or will go for
new boxes with 10 sunspeaks that most likely will do the job. Let see how it
drifts…Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
