| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments OP: It occurs to me you are using gating and smoothing. Turn those off and re-examine your measurements. I think you can re-use what you've already captured. You'll see a much nastier image of your results. Also, when comparing speakers, it's ... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments OP: If I wanted to take time based plots, is that doable using reasonably priced tools, or is that a pro assessment job? Room EQ Wizard (REW) has a variety of tools for that, and their forums are very helpful. Here’s a starter page. Let me... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments OP: For the record, room treatments and room correction are not equivalent. Using a frequency response curve to determine if you need room treatments is only useful in the bass. Above that the microphones won't integrate frequency response meas... | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical I've heard all sorts of DACs except R2R. Personally I dont' think the issue is delta sigma so much as the current to voltage converters. DACs have universally gotten much better at playing Redbook in the 21st century than almost anything that wen... | |
| Tilting B&W 802D speakers slightly forward or backward This is an excellent question, and the answer is you want the tweeter to point at your ears or above your ears. Not below. The exception are speakers where the tweeter is not the top driver. The B&W speakers in particular just sound better... | |

| You can't hear dialogue because it doesn't matter @spenav - I should point out that the center channel speaker has it's own unfortunate placement problems. There are often resonances in the mid bass which muddy up dialog. Usually fixable with EQ. | |
| OT: Espresso machines @goodlistening64 - The basics espresso and single cup coffees are good. The flavored, holiday one's are chemical garbage. If you like Jaegermeister though you'd probably enjoy them. | |

| OT: Espresso machines OK, now that I think about it, I did just see a pair of speakers in Stereophile that used largely the same drivers I do selling for $125,000.... so maybe that's cost effective too? Of course, that assumes the designer did a half decent job in the... | |
| OT: Espresso machines Erik I know you’re a DIY guy... about what does it take in cost to dabble in roasting? @akgwhiz To be fair only with speakers and cables. My days of custom modding amps is over. Of all my DIY hobbies, nothing has been more cost effective th... | |
| OT: Espresso machines Depends on your expectations and budget of course. More serious espresso nerds move on from Baratza due to the loud noise and the plastic gearbox that can fail The noise is how the cats know when food is served. Also, there is a nylon gear in ... | |
| B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics Dear goddess no. You want horns. The Klipsch Heresy may do OK |
