Room with glass windows as a walls.
My daughter moved from first floor townhouse apartment to 42nd floor skyscraper apartment and fifty percent of her apartment walls are actually glass windows from floor to ceiling now.
I helped her with setting up her system at old place and the sound was pretty decent however new apartment acoustic wise is total disaster.
Of course I did put her system together at new place but sound is terrible. She actually understands all my explanations about acoustic issues at new place, but she doesn’t take it seriously. My daughter actually listens to a lot of music, sometimes for hours however I wouldn’t call her audiophile, probably just a serious music lover and I understand that she will have listening fatigue pretty soon at her new place.
Acoustic treatment probably would be limited or refused due to esthetic and design incompatibility. Has anyone experienced setting up a system in such conditions, any advice?
Good advice from @yyzsantabarbara as usual. $830 for Roon is one of the best things a hard core audiophile who is also a music lover can buy. I did. The DSP using convolution filters and all the rest can be best thought of as a priceless bonus feature!!! I use multiple third party convolution filters for specific headphone models and several I created myself with REW for various rooms in my house where I listen. |
