| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @larry5729 the system is a Hegel H390 integrated amp and an Audiolabs 6000 CDT Transport using the Hegel's internal DAC. The speakers are Tyler Acoustics Highland H3.5s rear ported three way speakers. The room is treated with 4" diffuser panels on... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @sunshdw I have been impressed by how much better the speakers sound in comparison to my Focal Aria 936s. I was really surprised by the bass results on the waterfall graph. I don’t hear anything objectionable. That’s why I posted this, to see if I... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @sunshdw the room is 15' 2" wide x 13' 9" deep with a 9' 8" ceiling. Right side of room is open to kitchen. Left side has a wall. The speakers are Tyler Acoustics Highland H3.5 | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @mijostyn the graphs above were from the listening position. The mic was in the same place my head would be in. I did run a sweep on each speaker individually at the same distance and height and volume. Here was the resulting graph, they look pre... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? Here is the same plot with dB re-scaled and smoothing changed to 1/24 for @erik_squires 😁. I have thought about an equalizer to tame that peak. I don't understand why my bass sounds as good as it does when this looks bad down low. Am I missing s... | |
| Advice to Newbies @hilde45 I was assuming that a newbie has made the initial plunge and purchased a set of speakers. Then, after some time, starts longing for better sound. This is where the REW comes in. Before falling down the rabbit hole, make sure your current... | |
| Are all dBs created equal? @mceljo I am using a Hegel H390. I did have sibilance issues with the Focals. I had a few songs that were annoying and now when I play those songs it’s not there. I am happy about that! | |
| Are all dBs created equal? I am talking about dB measured at the listening position using the same method to measure with both sets of speakers. I believe @djones51 is correct in his smiley face theory. | |
| Are all dBs created equal? @russ69 A scale | |
| Are all dBs created equal? @djones51 My old speakers were Focal Aria 936. The new ones are Tyler Acoustics Highland H3.5. @mceljo the new speakers do present more bass. But, it is good bass. Not tubby. I did go from the focal tweeter, which I believe is aluminum, to a scan... | |
| I have new speakers on the way. What to listen to first? I’ve decided that Your Latest Trick will be the first song. | |
| Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy I believe the company that bought Onkyo also owns Klipsch. | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound I took erik_squires advice earlier this year and got a Furman unit with LiFT and SMP. No degradation of sound, in fact the sound improved. | |
| Tweaks, money pit or real value? I have many tweaks in my system and the one that never has become the new norm is the Gaia isolators on my Focal Aria 936s . I still hear what they do for my system and I am happy that I bought them. It’s been two years of great listening! | |
| Power Conditioning on the Cheap I have a PST-8 and a Green Wave dirty electricity filter. They work very well together. There is a video that demonstrates this on Youttube. They combo has made a dramatic difference in my system. The video also demonstrates that the PST-8D is not... |
