| Has Your Hobby Changed? @moonwatcher luckily I still have my hearing. I was recently tested and I am still hearing everything I should, we’ll I do as long as I keep my left ear clear of wax. I am about the same as you as far as gear cost, but then I have another 5K in r... | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? I envy those of you who have retired. I’ve got four years to go before I can listen guilt free. I work from home so the temptation to listen to an album is sometimes to much to ignore…lol. | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? I was supposed to receive a shipment of GIK Acoustics panels on Good Friday and I had trouble sleeping the night before. Then I only received half of what I was supposed to receive. That cast a pall over the weekend. Then I received an email from ... | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers I have a 55” in the middle of my speakers. I used to throw a blanket over it and then stack pillows in front of it. I found that that was too much. There was too much absorption. I took away the pillows and left the blanket. I’m in the Goldilocks ... | |
| What Is Most Important? That element for me is listening to songs that I’ve heard hundreds of times and hearing them for the first time. It doesn’t happen in every song, but there are some that make me take notice. Whoa wait a minute moments. I knew there were back up si... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @johnlnyc I choose to believe my ears for now. I may work on placement of speakers and room treatments sometime, to see what I get. What I hear will always take precedence over the graph. But, having said that, I have a tool to record how changes ... | |
| Turn down the Volume! @sns My favorite time to listen is at 1-2am with snow falling and at least 5" on the ground. Ambient noise is very low and everything sounds fantastic! | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @erik_squires I will be holding off trying to EQ to improve. I am going to try a few things with room treatment as soon as I can find some time. But, for now, I’m just going to enjoy the music! Thank you everyone for your input! | |
| Why do so many people have problems with bass? I read an article once that described why it is so hard to replicate sounds with speakers. They used the striker hitting a large bell as an example. Listen to the strike in person. Hear the sound resonating in the bell. The bell has a note, but th... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @theaudioamp the room has an area rug covering the entire floor. I have a tv and stand between the speakers and I cover them with dense foam to keep reflections from them to a minimum. I am going to run a test with no treatments and then add one t... | |
| 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... |
