| House buying and the aspiring audipihile Nasty resonances from the suits of armor. Now you told me, I've already moved 3 times because I thought it was ghosts. | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? Technically, my post is a parody. Everyone who missed the reference is already ahead of the game by not being exposed to the butt of the joke. | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars TBC: "By hand" I meant with measurement tools and adjusting ourselves instead of letting an automated system do it. I certainly don't think anyone can configure a sub properly without measurement devices and experience. | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars We got here by Duke pointing out that consumer room correction, at least currently, (to our knowledge) does not take into account reflected/directly energy when doing level balancing, and hence while it can correct for phase/amplitude, it lack... | |
| Sound Absorption Behind and Between the Speakers? The space behind, as well as the floor, is often neglected. if you have bare floors, try throwing some blankets back there as an experiment. | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Let me try this another way. Imagine a highly reflective room with a pair of traditional 2 way speakers and 1 listening chair in a fixed location. The room is 20’x20’x15’ tall. There are at least six (eight if we include the ceiling) first reflect... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? So if I understand correctly, you are saying that treating the relatively small area where a reflection occurs is "practically useless" Yes, in that I believe most audiophiles would be unable to tell if those treatments were at the reflection p... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Floors are a different thing, but we don't spot treat floors. We treat the entire area in front of a speaker. I've never seen anyone put down a 2'x2' carpet exactly in the first reflection point, and this is kind of what i mean. Audiophiles at so... | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars "Windowing" the impulse response to look at only the initial part shows us the frequency response of the direct sound with little or no contribution from the room. Yes, but this windowing feature also limits the lower boundary of the FFT. The sma... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Early lateral reflections contribute to spaciousness and expand the "apparent source width", according to Floyd Toole. When "presence" is lacking the earliest reflections are the most responsible, according to David Griesinger. Which I agree wi... | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars The premise/purpose of the Fourier transform is simple: Any recorded sound can be broken up into discrete sinusoidal components. For instance, a square wave, no matter how perfectly square, can be decomposed into odd-order harmonic sine waves, des... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Brad, The one issue missing from this discussion is your impression of acoustic treatment at first reflection points completely depends on how wide a dispersion speaker you actually use. For the purposes of this argument, alone, I want to argue... | |
| XLR repair please. Any electronics shop shuld be able to help you, and probably pro music stores too. | |
| Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 5.1 diffraction pads I think it's meaningful. I've not experimented with the Wilsons per se but I have with Focal inverted dome tweeters, and using felt around other tweeters. In every case I perceived a smoother, mellower response. My suggestion is to clean off the ... | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars If you are robbing your subwoofer of power with DSP, then there must be frequency aberrations at the listening position that need to be fixed.Kind of sort of. Sorry to introduce nuance here. Not all ARC is the same, not by a long shot. Early AR... |
