It is time to go for DPoLS?
fiogf49gjkf0d
I got a few days an email from the site reader where he expressed interest about DPoLS and informed me that is working on his own methodology to deal with DPoLS.  This kind of revived in my memory when my own installation was in DPoLS positions, God, that was fantastic!!!

So, I kind of slowly begin to think if it would be a good time for me to try to chaise DPoLS with Macondo and my new listening room. Over 3 years that I live with my new current listening room I never went for DPoLS, I think I am in position to go for it now. The floors are flat now (hardwood) and the ma Macondo has felt at the bottom- so it more or less mobile.  I think I need to get a second person and spend a good listening day to try chasing the DPoLS. The DPoLS is in a way a mythical unicorn. The unicorn hunt is my wify’s favorite theme, perhaps I will be able to sell the concept to her and let her to move Macondo while I am listening.  Well, in the worse care I will sleeping a in basement next night -  not bad -  I can smoke sugars in there.

DPoLS 3D?
fiogf49gjkf0d
Romy,
I say "Go for it"!  With your usual documentation, we can only profit from you getting the hernia first. I got mine operated on last week, so looking is all that I can do for the next 3 months.

One thing that has always roused my curiosity: your speakers are spread over quite a big area. Getting DPoLS for all of them at the same floor position seems to be a pretty big crap shoot. Your midbass horns are built in. What happens when the upper bass gets DPoLS? Does it become impossible to integrate?


Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Room Loading vs...
fiogf49gjkf0d
Yes, it is time again for me, too, as soon as my amps get back from United Radio. Among many choices to make, which music to target?

OT, Robin, I think every trumpet player I've ever known has had a hernia. Hope all goes well for you, but WTF?

Best regards,
Paul S

So, you get a pair of loudspeakers and a room with comfortable foe you reflection pattern. You set up left loudspeaker (left for you) where I need to be. I always suggest starting from left loudspeaker as it cares the fist violins, sopranos of choruses and generally in western culture is associated with HF lead. You take RTA or TEF pulse analyzer and perfects align each channel of the loudspeaker to your listening position. Then you take a right loudspeaker and do the same. 


Rgs, Romy the Cat

what means "You set up left loudspeaker (left for you) " ? does it mean we should first position left speaker in a good place and then use RTA to Align channels after positioning?

They the fun begins. You need to align the right and left loudspeakers to each other in respect to this position in the room. We are not taking here about arrival time and it will be skewed and hardly measurable as we will not be able to subtract the modulations from reflections. So you take pulse analyzer away and using just TRA we are trying to setup R and L loudspeakers to have max amplitude of each other impact.  Here is where you deal with true DPoLS.


Rgs, Romy the Cat

does it mean we should again change speakers positions?does it mean we just align channels in this step?

Stirling Trayle
The Good news is Mr. Stirling Trayle Can properly setup speakers in room and the result is very similar to DPOLS.
My friend Mr. Mayer lives in CA and he has Living Voice Vox Olympian horn system (with kondo electronics) and he asked Stirling Trayle to come and place the speakers in room.
The result is wonderful and it seems it is very similar to DPOLS .
Stirling Trayle Spend over 50 hours (hard work) to find the right speaker position and the result was impressive.
Stirling Trayle Use sumiko method for speaker placement.

A very interesting source indeed.
It would be very interesting if you would write a book.

Sumiko method
There are some descriptions about sumiko method on the web but I think those are not very detailed. 
This is the webpage of Stirling Trayle 
https://www.audiosystemsoptimized.com/ 
I think I should invite Stirling Trayle to my home and ask him to position the speakers and check the result.

A very rare but very strong recommendation.

Stirling Trayle and I exchange a few you messages. I sent him a link to DPoLS translation and he immediately identified some weaknesses of the article, very impressive. I find that what he does is exceptionally interesting and uniquely rare. I have a reputation do not patronize on recommend any business or services in audio but in this case I would like to make exception and provide my very strong recommendation to use Stirling Trayle while she is still able to operate. As I understand he is in his 60s and after he will be gone this knowledge, from epistemological perspective will be lost. I did suggest him to write a book, I do not think he will, and it is very unfortunate.

Thank you
Romy, Thank you for sharing your idea.
I hope he write a book about speaker placement

Sumiko speaker setup
Hi - take a look, may answer your questions about knowledge transfer of the process, but the experience will be missed without his personal notes.

https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=46634

I also use REW to capture room acoustics.  Then consider applying acoustic treatments to address. The "art" is where and what to apply - diffuser, absorption, thickness and how much.

Yep, I have seen it and it is very good, to start with... I just uploaded a large video on the subject. Not a lot of recommendations but a lot of incentives... I can't go a lot of practical recommendations as I am intimately familiar for many years only with my acoustic system which would have no relevance for others.
