Post Subject: What was absolute wonderful…Posted by Romy the Cat on: 6/3/2013

I would like to share that wonderful experience I had 2 nights back when I spent the whole night to juts to listening my midbass horns. I did not do it for two year or so and to hear juts the midbass back as I did it during the post-contraction was very didactic. There is nothing as educational as to play one or two horn with just 40- to 107 Hz and think about the colors, density, shape, structure, texture of the sound they create. I would live all the rest observation of what I observed with me but there was one that strikes me as never before – the direction. Again and again I am applauding to myself with that super kinky decision to put the midbass in the hidden view above and behind the listening position. As I was listening the low octave coming from the horns I did very clearly hear them as the direct source FROM the front of loudspeakers. There was some room diffusion of chose but the main midbass image was coming from front. Apparently the longer wave were shooting across my 27 feet room and bounce back to me. What was a brilliant idea to hide the horns where they do not bother anybody and where they secretly do their duty! If I even move and will be ever rebuilding my room then I would very much try to mimic something like this. The living experience in listening room will be VERY much different if I has even single 7-8 feet horn sitting on my laps.
