In response to my post above a friend of my wrote to me: “Soon you'll be spending more time there than the listening room :-)”. This is a very interesting concept and I would like to share my thoughts about it. A listening room and a video room are d...

I am slowly contemplating to put a baby grand piano in my listening room. Besides all other considerations there is one that fascinates me - how the presence of a piano in listening room will affect sound acousticly. I do remember in past I had guita...

I've been reading about the acoustic characteristics of the world's great symphony halls, like Boston and the Concertgebouw. Did you know that Sabine, Berenak, and Cyril Harris mathematically defined those characteristics, using metrics like RT-60, ...

Is this test just for CD player? will you explain a littel more

Armen,
If you look somebody to advise you in specifics then you are talking to a wrong person – I do not do it. Well, I do it but ONLY if I feel that the area of attention is very narrow and the question is well-understood by the person who asks. I ...

As we are looking for our new home I am slowly simmering in
my mind the ideas about new midbass horns. It is not that I am short for ideas
but I am not sure that I will take my family on a bumpy and costly ride to build
new horns. One way or anoth...
|
In my current configuration I have 11-11-3 measuring from tweeters.
First number is the distance between speakers, second is listening distance and
the third is the distance from the shudder where the horn axis are pointing out. This is not a good

tarted to mount the open baffle for ULF channels at my
attic. The system is fully operational,
not time aligned yet to the degree that I would like it to be but I'm going to
tell you: that Tannoy Red 10 is something that makes everything so sweet...

I never knew that it will be so much fun. As I started the basement cleanup project I did kind of remotely conceptualize that I will try to make a winter pipe smoking place. Instead I discover in my house a new listening room that I have to tell you ...
|
I'd say there were fundamental issues in music reproduction which need to be got right (specifically within the design/implementation of the transducers) before worrying about the presentational niceties that omnidirectivity appears to addr...

[quote user="RF at Ona"]Finally, let me add a personal point of view. If you walk into a room and you are not really aware of its acoustics - it is probably a good room … [/quote]
It is not my observation. When you walk into a good room it clearly h...
|
BTW, purely hypothetically, Jessie, if you have a long harrow room then did you consider to put your bass horns vertically, facing them mouth up, pretending that they are large vases? It might be a new kinky surreal home decor and you can make the th...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]I predict in the long run you will have better Sound with a hardwood floor. Of course it will require some adjustments but that was my experience when I made this change years ago. Much easier for cleaning etc. too. Rather...

I am staring this thread as an organic continuation of the former Real Estate thread:
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=11190
As any other threads at my site it will be a collection of thoughts and diaries o...

Ok, my new listening room is repainted and ready to accept audio setup. Probably this weekend, if I have time left, I will make a first try with Macondo. I think the main thing that I need to figure out now is what would be a listening distance in r...
|
Lets go into more detail. I'm very new to audiophiling-a year and half-which half of it wasted by Moronizm.
Anyhow a friend of mine(Amir who runs a blog about audio) introduced this site to me, and I saw the "real thing". And I specially am obssesed...

Since room acoustics are important, I'd like to share my thoughts on this device I recently acquired. This is not a review but some thoughts on how this thing changes the sound of the room, because that's exactly what it does, and in my opinion, only...
|
I think in the realm of integrated listening and living rooms
with full stack 7-ch installation and 40Hz bass horn I did accomplish a very commendable
thing. You will hardly fine a listening room out there that would be as living-friendly
as mine ...

We closed the house last week and as now painters are going
over house and repaint if. Wify went super creative with colors but she left my listening room alone and
wants me to do whatever I want. I used different simulators but still do not
have...

The appendix in the corner of my room (I think it called rotunda) is very cool thing – it is where all my equipment lives – superbly comfortable and I can’t dream for better layout of my listening room. I am not kidding. However, there is one however...

Amy plays peaty much weekly chamber music. I listen them sometime and the idea to let her quartets to sound slightly bigger in homes, in the way how they would sound in concert hall, never left me. Of cause we are talking about an active extension of...
|
Sitting in my couch, smoking my cigar, playing Shostakovich quartets and studying my new P&S agreement I discover that it will be sad to lose this listening room. This room is small but such a capable and able for such such intimate sound tha...
|
Wow! Thank you! What a brilliant idea to make the vertical poll not solid but to assemble it with triangular pipes of the different length! I love how it looks. (I think it was proposed before but I did not visualized it without image)
The only con...

A year has passed since I moved to my new home at the Mass
and New Hampshire border. Last week, the
setup of my listening room was complete. I am planning to record a video with my
observations in regard to my new listening room....

Dear Romy,
I know it's impossible for you to answer to everybody especially a rookie like me. And I deeply appreciate whenever you’d reply, but you know, you and a very few people in your site are the only reliable source.
Regarding DPoLS I stron...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The "listening to the room" is NOT the DPoLS subject in my view, however, if you feel that it is then it is fine with me.
The Cat[/quote]I agree with romy , I think DPOLS help us to find the most neutral zone in room but d...

Thomas for sure have some interesting to music or probably
to sounds. He sits for quite a while listening his mommy playing. We are convinced
if he is attracted the sound of Beethoven quartets or he is fascinated with bows
moving but as they say “...
