| 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... | |
| Objective Opinion? I think I've found it! @hilde45 She has been here two years and has never reacted during the day until the day after installing the PST-8 and filter. |
