Romy, you might want to re-think 2 guys and pneumatic casters under a bare frame dolly for a 950 lb. unit. If you insist on doing it this way, I hope you will make and post a video of the event. I'd at least consider solid, rated casters, espec...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I made the 543rd remodeling on the Opera room and move the video playback equipment to the new, I hope the last location. As I connected everything into PP2000 as it use to be (not PP2000+) but older not “Plus” version than...

Adrian, is the room raised floor or a slab? If the former, then wall-mount makes sense, especially for a TT. If slab, then you have more options, as far as spreading things around. Soft carpet or hard flooring factors, too. Yo...

Regardless of where you get them made, I would opt for free-standing horns mounted on wheels, as this allows the most flexibility in integrating them with your as-yet-unknown space (for example, you could build such horns into a wall, mount them in t...

Thanks for all the comments. Seems like everyone is pretty much agreed that curves improve things but large radius curves are better than small. We have made curved panels with a radius from 4 inches to 35 feet. I attached a pic of one of our more...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The only thing that I do not have is some kind of stand alone, mid room HF eater that I would like to place between speakers and the back wall’s windows, something like tube traps or the similar. I do not like the tube trap...

Well, wouldn't you know that my wife is an artist, too. Although she hasn't been very productive for the past couple of years, she is totally over-the-top manic when she does work, and we have the usual artist's home, with tons of art...

I used to follow Michael Green's previous forum at Tuneland, and have tried some of his products and techniques, though not his full "program" by a long shot. His stuff does affect sound, whether for better or worse depending on the user's efforts an...

Bill, what I find interesting is not the fact that the units vary one from the other in terms of measured performance, or each in its (in)ability to charge its own battery, rather I notice that you seem "happy" with the performance of all the units i...

I think correct positioning the watt puppy and maxx model in room is not easy and each time i listened to them i sensed a bloated sound, I guessed bloated sound refer to acoustics. i know these model drivers are not fast but i guessed in a good room ...

I have recently acquired a pair of (2000 vintage, I think) Lamm ML2s and would like to share impressions and development strategies with other ML2 owners, including former owners, and perhaps I may learn from any pertinent experience.
In addition to...

I no doubt fall into the category of the 70%. My playback has not been as satisfying as I would like. Many of us do not know where to turn when we hit a brick wall with extracting the best results. The default reaction is to look for a piece of equ...

[quote user="kodomo"]I dont think a standart klipschorn would satisfy the cat. I had one, then I heavily modified it and in the end I built my full scale horn system. I still keep that modded khorn system as a second system.If I may suggest, if you u...

Hi miab, my room is approx. 6x5x4m, so although quite small by North American standards (not UK!), the ceiling is higher than that of most modern houses. This seems to play a big part in the LF performance of any speakers in this room. I currently ha...

Here, you can see the distance to front wall. The wall is about 10cms behind the moss garden.About 35cms to the wooden binary diffusors surface. Another 55cm to the drivers and total distance to front structural wall is about 90cm (2,95feet)Maybe mor...

[quote user="oxric"]Whilst as Romy points out, the room might well be on the small side, it has a very high ceiling (say 4.5 m) that in my mind always presents fabulous opportunities. [/quote] I have a second opinion about the size of the room. My in...

I was listening today the Bolshoy 1948 production on LYS twice. What the beauty. As the tribute to this performance I am posting articles about the singers who did the “Boris Godunov” with Golovanov in 1948. The Articles are courtesy to writing staff...

Romy,Regarding your first illustration:Some time ago I intentionally made two different boxes for my ScanSpeak drivers to see what will happen, because I do not believe in theories and trust only to my ears. The boxes had exactly the same internal vo...

Hi Romy and thanks a lot for the always interesting topics and discussions going on... I'm quite new to DPoLS and consider the approach of "obtaining sound in a room" more than "speakers positioning" - too often to WAF fullfillment and aesthetics, th...

I've been thinking abut this question form several angles. Firstly practical.I thought I'd better see what low bass sounds like. And to get some idea of placement possibilities. So I set up my LS3/5as in the (rather cold) un-converted barn. Couldn't ...

[quote user="be"]The paradox of the orchestra sound would be resolved if we asume that the audience (in the good seats) mostly hear the reflected sound, primarily from the wall behind the stage and that the players at the front follow the visual lead...

A friend of my after reading my comments about the EdgarHorn installation in Vegas (in here) asked me why do I think the bass in Bruce’s room behave as it behaved. I tried to think about it. Some of those thoughts intersect with some other projects t...

[quote user="noviygera"] Question, Romy:Why do you suggest to add the extension on the back, not the front, as B. Edgar suggested. He specifically commented that the MOUTH area is too small and said the throat size was OK?[/quote] Herman, the mouth a...

[quote user="Jorge"]Hello Anthony,I did experiment with metal tubes for bass in a sealed configuration as you are planning. The weight of them, even made out of thinner than you would like steel, is prohibitive. If you make them out of aluminum pipe...

Okay, since you ask, I think I have said it before, and I consider it kind of pointless since we are talking more for the sake of nostalgia not anything to do with what we may do with our audio systems in the present. Anyway, yes I owned the Rosewood...
