Post Subject: 11 feet apartPosted by kodomo on: 11/3/2017
When you say, your horns are 11feet apart, does this mean from acoustic centre line, or the outside perimeter of the upper bass horn. If it is from the outside perimeter of the upper bass horn you are having a similar setup with mine. When they are about 3,5m apart like I have them now, which is a little wider than yours, the depth of the image, the textures, the whole aliveness and complete disappearing act of the speakers is really mind blowing.
The whole effect does not collapse with a foot apart with mine. But, if I do that, then I have to change a lot of things. First is how far I sit. Then the midrange horn attenuation. The amount of toe in. The acoustic treatments in the room. Then you can have a very similar effect, a little less exciting but a very well balanced sound.
For these practices, the best I found out is to decide with horn stack only. Then adjust the bass afterwards. It is much easier to decide with everything that is working approximately over the schroeder frequency of the room.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
