Post Subject: The honeymoon night.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 9/17/2016

I have placed the addition 2 woofer section to my bass tower and connected everything. It would be lying if I would tell you that I did not listen it. The result I got is long expected and my tail was trembling. So, here are some non-connected observations representing the sound I got so far.
Interpreting the result a few things must be taken to consideration. The playback is not time-aligned and drivers are positioned randomly at this point. In my book only this shall be render the playback in unlistenable. The system is not calibrated and no single measurement besides setting the drivers in proper phase were made. The whole playback now is connected by crappy cables. Anyhow taking everything above to consideration here is what I observed in no particular order.

1) The electricity in my new town is way better then I use to have in by two listening rooms. I guess it pays to live in town with 2000 residence, 2 acres minimal land and no commercial properties in the town.
2) The 2 woofer section made huge difference, absolutely monumental.
3) The room sounds very good, but a little bit too dull to my taste. I do think I need to easy a bit on absorption and get more reflection
4) The unified listening position for audio and video not going to work
5) I do not like the bass that I am getting. The texture and dynamics of it is wrong. I did not remember I had the same feeling before in the same configuration, so there is some kind of bug in there. It is easy to attribute my dislike of my current bass to the fact that I was living for 6 years with 40Hz midbass horn but I do not think that it is the reason. I know what I should get in my current configuration and it shall be different from what I am getting.
6) I will need to have another SS amp to drive video as do not want my house mates use 12 channels Milqs each time they want to watch something on big screen.
7) I wish I went more bold with curving of the extra 2 drivers in bass array.
8) I can’t wait when my large carpet is coming
