How to Setup Your Room for Atmos and Immersive Audio
@kota1 I'm going to give up and hang my extra atoms speakers BL, BR, and the tops even though I know the sound is the boss in Atmos and the imaging works fine now but I know it's not just right. I'll have to add speaker cable and hang the top spea...

@thespeakerdude Perfect answer, thank you. DF ultimately = punch in the low end, to be overly simplistic. It would be fun to list silly things that audiophiles worry about, mythology, technical incoherence that is common today.

@thespeakerdude So sorry here is another question concerning dampening factor active speakers and mythology of audiophiles.  The question is since dampening factor is super important how can audiophiles even consider this factor without the load ...

@thespeakerdude Question for you, seems that dampening factor is a very misunderstood stat, and it has direct factors corresponding to active speakers. My Question for you is, is it possible to get dampening factor correct unless the speaker drive...

@I don't know THX Studio Certification, I do know certification are simply a way to make money. Certifications like awards Emmys and Oscars, CAS awards are just to get a stamp of approval from peers. It really doesn't mean anything, having an expe...

@kota1 I've met Tom and he was kind, I've got into some disagreements with him on Facebook but he has a really good heart. Thank you for the book reference.

@kota1 I do tend to be a little disjointed sorry, I assure you I've spent many years in college studying the physics of sound as well as working as a sound engineer acoustical ,recording, mixing and production sound, I even did a little research o...

@kota1 This thread did cover those topics but they are all threaded together with the ideas of proper speaker driver practices in general. All these topics happen when you mix active and passive products, we have been looking at the weakness of my...

@thespeakerdude Am I correct to assume that Dolby is counting on the listener to use time alignment algorithms in the everyday playback system? The difference in original mixing position and final listening position is probably about 5 feet differ...

@thespeakerdude I realize this but does it make sense to mix at one position and listen at another? Just thought that was an interesting thought, makes me think that so many things we do in sound has a coating of silly mythology in it.

@thespeakerdude Great info on the P20s really appreciate it. Also the JL Audio 113 speaker buzz happens with no audio inputs at all. Thanks

@kota1 I did connect the Lyngdorf into the Genelec / ProTools system it was just fine I needed it in that system to use Room Perfect because the speaker positions were always a compromise if I looked at it as a stereo system but not from an object...

@invalid I suspected the same thing that the BHK was inconsistent somehow. I've changed cables AC and audio, changed AC circuits and the noise of the BHK has been the worst in the system, except for my JL Audio subs, which is another story. I repl...

@kota1  The @thespeakerdude clearly works for a speaker company that doesn't allow social media so he's being careful not to give his credits. That's certainly understandable I'm very glad to learn from his experience as well as yours. Thank you b...

@thespeakerdude All my components are balanced, but the subs have an AC hum my system runs off of 2x circuits both plugged into PS Audio P20 Power regenerators they send the power to DC then back to AC, seems good in theory. I've tried lifting gro...
