OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!.


Just wanted to let my friends on Audiogon know - my wife was gone this week - I moved a LAMP in my living room - Sound stage widened by 4 feet. Mid and high end much cleaner.

Room Treatments do matter. 

Wish me luck - she gets home in 3 hours!

Enjoy the music - I am amazed at my playlists - like a new and improved system!

I had to have my speakers close to the back wall....Wife....She is worth keeping so I obliged.  So I wondered what would happen if I moved them out 2 inches.  No comments.  A week later I moved them another two inches....no comment.  So I moved them out another two inches....no comment.  I gave her 6 inches and apparently she was still happy with me.  So I moved them out another 3 inches.  She could not handle the 9 inches and said something.  We compromised at 7 inches and she was a happy camper.  The moral of the story...give her 6 inches and she always wants one more inch.  

So, Kenjit is right - speakers are not plug and play.

You have to move a lamp to make them sound good!

 

In my wife’s defense - the offending lamp is part of a matched pair we bought together on a trip to Hong Kong in 1982. The lamp is pierced porcelain and hand painted with birds - that is why is was left at the wrong end of the couch for the last 18 years. Everyone now agrees it is on the left end of the couch - out of the Soundstage!! God Bless Compromise!

My hole song books are AMAZING now! Listing to Joe Bonamassa - Anton Fig can play drums !!! Joe can make a guitar CRY!

And I am still married to the same woman after 46 years this May!

Happy Listening
