| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @yyzsantabarbara Thanks for the explanation. I wrote to Mitch and we exchanged a couple of emails. He referred me to a device that could be inserted into a processor loop and interface with a computer to make it work on all sources, though it wa... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Yes, I'm kind of leaning against considering that the room seems "good enough" now that I've tweaked listening and speaker position. To do a MiniDSP w/DIRAC Live experiment would be $500 minimum and to do a more sophisticated custom filter woul... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Just wanted to update the thread about the results of playing with the listening position based on suggestions from forum members (on another forum). The suggestion was to follow the rule of odds in speaker and LP placement. This resulted in put... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @yyzsantabarbara Where does Mitch's DSP insert into my system? I'm using one of either of two preamps: a late 80's/early 90's Mcintosh C35 or an '80's Conrad Johnson PV5. Typically, I'll have 2-3 analog inputs into the preamp (CD player, DAC, an... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @rooze My room is a dedicated room for me, so there’s some flexibility in room treatments -within reason because I still don’t want it to look too wacky. But it also doubles as an Atmos HT room and 2-ch audio room. Because of the way my side and... | |
| Finding Local Resource who can Assess my Audio Room Is Mitch’s analysis a room only analysis, or it looks at where you’re placing your speakers as well? And if you change speakers (but not speaker location), do you have to re-do the analysis? If you’re doing mostly physical media, including vinyl... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @wyoboy Interesting about speaker location not playing into it. I’ll have to download the app you mentioned. Looking at all the nodes, if you superimpose all bad zones on top of each other, seems like I’d be left with very little options for a g... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @wyoboy I found the 3D graphic that shows mode locations, but aren’t zone locations also dependent on where my speakers are placed vs purely on the dimensions of my room? My only input to the calculator was my room size. | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @mapman The speakers are 34.5/47” from front wall (back of speaker/front of speaker). Since I have front cabinets, I measured distance of 17-18”/28.5-29.5” from front cabinet (back of speaker/front of speaker), though with the front port, I’m not... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @perazzi28 Thank you for your PMs. I don’t seem to be able to respond yet (something about validating my email and adding a payment method). Tried to do that, but maybe it takes time to process. But wanted to let you know I received the info an... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @perazzi28 With the new Concerto Domus speakers, I did try a lot more positions to minimize the effect of room nodes. I was able to hear that in certain forward/back spots, the bass was bloated and in other spots, it was much better controlled an... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @audiorusty No separate isolation, but there is a TT shelf attached to the wall, so isolated from my bouncy wood floors, but that’s it. Besides the four subs and DSP, did you take a lot of other actions (room treatments for example) to make your ... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Pic of speakers in space. I double checked the problematic track and it was 90% better playing a CD. The Amazon Music version of Girl from Ipanema is very bad to my ears (loud and compressed and those unpleasant resonances seem to be baked int... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room I acquired a new-to-me set of speakers to try out: Sonus Faber Concerto Domus speakers from 2005-6 timeframe. Previous generations of the Concerto were stand mounts, the Domus is a smaller floor stander, but still two-way with similar sized drive... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @wyoboy I do think addressing the room and optimizing speaker placement can definitely help and perhaps make my 7B’s workable. But I guess the question in my mind is whether it’s still a matter of degree. Meaning if you start with a smaller spea... |
