| Are your speakers losing air? Several readers replies make me think that they missed the solution here: Eliminate early reflections A principle that can be applied to any speaker. | |
| Are your speakers losing air? You’d be shocked at how many well known and well respected, center channel speakers have horrible off axis speaker performance, and measurements. @simonmoon That's why I built my own. 😁 @moonwatcher I think you touched on several issues ... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations Hi OP, Sorry for just now jumping in here. I think there’s at least a small part here I can help you with: How much of a difference does a center channel make for video? My first real jobs were centered around motion picture sound syste... | |
| sibilance in system You may be too close to the tweeter axis. Try reducing the toe-in,and/or moving the speakers closer together. Also, of course, check your room for recent changes. Sibilance is often caused by too any flat reflective surfaces. | |
| room setup suggesion needed @mijostyn Let me rephrase. I find your attitude confrontational and ill informed and I don’t need to participate in your argument as a result. Good day. | |
| Why do Wav and Flac Files Sound Different? @moto_man We should separate two issues. Lossless, and recording quality. WAV, FLAC, and ALAC should all be lossless formats, but I don’t do quality assurance on every algorithm out there which is converting from one to another, or used in CD rip... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? @loomisjohnson - I can believe that, but also Pass I think likes big old school speakers. See if you can find Pass' article on damping factor and whether it really should be low or not. | |
| room setup suggesion needed @mijostyn - I decline to play with you anymore. I’ve shared my beliefs based on measurements and hands on experience, which I believe is all backed up by research which you are best left to your own devices to find. | |
| Melco E100/N 100 Combination @mahler123 I thought I answered it does not, but for performance reasons you might want to. Also, +1 for Anthony Perotta a real class act and great to buy from. | |
| WBT Spades -- Crimping needed?? I have had the WBT bananas, which use the same attachment process. It’s not required, but it sure does help. However you can get the sleeves cheap at Parts Connexion and a number of < $20 electrician’s crimpers like this one will do the job jus... | |
| room setup suggesion needed @mijostyn - I don't think it's an either or situation. Bass traps help make EQ's more effective. You can certainly get excellent results in cutting bass nodes with an EQ alone, but traps may help smooth out the bass in more areas on the room th... | |
| Stacking subwoofers Why vertical arrays instead of horizontal arrays? The answer is probably in the room mode you are having problems with. I encourage the use of the AM Acoustics room mode simulator to help understand your room modes as well as opportunities for s... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? I think you hit the nail on the head, the issue for many speakers is not watts @ 8 Ohms, but current delivery. It’s how well an amplifier does in the 3-4 Ohm range that’s important, especially with speakers with dual woofers as they tend to hit a... | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables Mogami. They make a quad conductor speaker cable which add up to about 10 gauge (it's metric so not exactly). You can find the 2 conductor at Parts Express and I think the 4 conductor at Markertek. | |
| room setup suggesion needed Anyone who thinks they know anything about how their speakers sound in a room because of the specs is probably mistaken. The room changes everything and measurements are key. The ability to limit the bass in main speakers and move subs to ideal ... |
