Post Subject: I have a super atticPosted by Romy the Cat on: 7/3/2023
Anthony, it is a bit complicated subject. If you ever visit me and look at my attic you will be literally laughing. It is always initially designed with an idea to load there all possible outer installations. Pretend a good size listening room of 19x45 and nice considered selling with plywood prepared for roofing. Thenn pretend that somebody build build above of this another house above it at it is my attic. Tall, dry beautiful this thousand access points to my main listening room. I put their open bottle and I can put them probably another six horns if I want to. When I came to this house first time with my realtor and saw this attic I said that I do not believe what I'm saying.
I might very much will go for midday horn, at least I have easy ways to do it. Do I need to go for it is completely different subject and I cannot answer it for this point. The room sound exceptionally interesting without any effort. If you read my old post about micropositioning of upper base horns where I recommended to install upper base horns on active locations of the room then my room has it naturally. It's kind of ridiculous if you work around the house, and it is very much open plan floor, then you hear no bass. However exactly it listening spot I have very good organic natural boost across quite many octaves in upper base and lower midrange. I can literally hear how drivers are breathing, it is very interesting effect. I did not measure anything but overall feeling is very good and I absolutely adore how my Vitavox 15 are running in large bin of direct radiator. So far, purely subjectively I do not see a need for a midbass horn and I do not believe in lower base horns.
I need to live with this room for a little bit, I need to calibrate playback and to run some sleep to see what actually the room is doing. I do not have a lot of time and this point but I'm progressing slowly. It would be wonderful if I conclude that I do not need a midbass horn.
