@mihorn Alex the audio recording of your systems sounds very nice. How are you making adjustments to improve it sound? Speaker positioning? Crossover adjustments ? or something else? Sounds much better than it used to sound. nicely done. The audio recordings embedded in these systems videos are a great tool to make adjustments to improve one’s system. Too bad more people don’t understand this and take advantage of this powerful and inexpensive tool to yield higher performance sound quality out of their systems. Some I guess would rather just pay a lot more money for a more expensive component and hope for the best.
Sharing some audio recordings from my listening session this past weekend
My OKTAN6 system based on my six-way horn loudspeakers, with custom field coil compression and mid-bass drivers, is sounding great with all genres of music. The music is streamed from Tidal and played back with HQPLAYER at DSD1024x48. Here are a couple of audio recordings from this past weekend’s listening session (please playback at 1080p resolution for best results):

@carlos269 Stated " Too bad more people don’t understand this and take advantage of this powerful and inexpensive tool to yield higher performance sound quality out of their systems. " Which Tool ? How Does One Learn About It ? Where is it Purchased From ? Other info discovered suggests there is a bespoke set up for driver frequency ranges? I assume a Digital Type of X over? |
@pindac The tool is audio recordings of one’s system from the listening chair position/location. You use this tool, the audio recordings, to make assessments and them you make adjustments to yield improvements to the sound you hear in the room. Not only digital crossovers can be adjusted and tweak. In my OKTAN6 six-way horn system, I make adjustments to the Finemet transformers based crossovers to change the resultant sound at the listening position. It just takes a reiterative process to fine tune the resultant sound the sound that you are targeting in your head. There are a number of methods to make adjustments, the adjustable crossover is just one of them. As you mentioned, making changes in the digital domain is another way, and technically the most precise and least subtractive way of modifying the resultant sound. |
My wife and I enjoy 80’s New Wave and Post-Punk music. As much as it is said about sound of early 80’s digital recordings and specially those with low production costs, I believe that your system should sound resolving on all types of recordings and not just the CAN audiophile demo tracks so often played, which sound good even on a Bluetooth speaker. Here is a great song from the days when creativity and self expression were an an all time high:

Thanks for kind words! My final sound adjustment is spkr tuning. As you know, putting more stuffing inside spkr cabinet makes the spkr sound to forward - vice versa. I adjust the speaker sound to same position with the original music. My spkr is 2 ways. The woofer’s front sound is in-adjustable. 1) Adjust amount of woofer’s back sound to balance (mid-range position) with woofer’s front sound (refer to the sound of orig music). Small felt pieces are added (or removed) through the back port hole. 2) Next adjust tweeter’s front sound by covering up AMT tweeter. Cover up too much’ll sounds darker (mid heavy) sound. Cover up less’ll sounds brighter. 3)Adjust tweeter’s back sound by add or remove tweeter’s back cover material (through back port hole). Too much cover up will sound piercing bright forceful sound. Less cover up will sound messy/confused sound. Alex/Wavetouch audio
