| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers Want to make a few points here: 1. One major reason we have trouble hearing a room is the ear/brain mechanism is actively filtering, which takes actual energy (i.e. the consumption of carbohydrates) and is tiring. Try recording your speakers and ... | |
| DIY HiFi Nope, but maybe ask at DIYaudio ?? | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers OP: I was pretty much right, and yet no one on Audiogon ever takes my advice. Sigh. 😪 The good news is these frequencies are easy to deal with without getting too thick/exotic or expensive. GIK and ATS acoustics are places to start. GIK makes so... | |
| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy @tksteingraber Good points all. I almost want to order a plug to see how it works. | |
| CANNOT POST LINKS !!!!! Who Else _________________?????????? OP: The issue seems to be a bug that raw links don't work, but if you link text to a URL that works consistently well. So if I were to put in a pure URL here: http colon slash slash CNN dot com That would fail, but the link embedded in this s... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers One last thought, OP: You can use basic tone controls to bring out the bass, but generally speaking the better order of operations is to add room treatments first and then EQ/room correction afterwards. Of course, using a bass control is easy, s... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers OP: Yep, so the frequency response plots won't help you as much as time/energy plots. REW has a number of tools for this, but their own forums are better places to go. With my own tools there's usually a gated measurement in the mid-high frequ... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers OP: One very useful tool you should also know about is the AM Acoustics Room Mode Simulator. Put your room dimensions in and it will show you the lowest modes. Try to keep your speakers and listening location out of those. It won't help your ref... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers Room correction software won't help you much in highly reflecteive environments. They are better for correcting bass problems, but you can adjust the bass just as well for you by any EQ, such as the Schiit Loki, but you won't fix the reflected so... | |
| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy @tksteingraber Well the 90 degree IEC socket is also potentially a fix here, since that reduces leverage. For my Luxman, which originally had a 2 prong socket I swapped it for a 3-prong which added just enough grip. There are also locking IEC pl... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers It nearly sounds like (to me) that the two 12" woofers aren’t even running. yeah, that’s a tell-tale sign. What’s happening is you have very long decay times in the mid-treble range due to the size of the room and highly reflective surfaces. As... | |
| B&W 802 D2 Capacitors Worth Upgrading? @bossybilbo I wrote a blog post which was inspired by this discussion I think you'd find interesting. | |
| Geddes multiple subwoofer method - 3 subs vice 4 Well I’m glad to see that several on this thread, including @audiokinesis are taking up the issue of distortion and dynamic range of the mains being something worth considering when adding subs. :) Too often that behavior gets overlooked for one ... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers The room is often the cause of such issues. It can be the speakers, of course, but very often having a very reflective room causes it to sound distorting at higher volumes. The reflections seem to overpower the direct signal. Good way to test i... | |
| What High End AC Cables should Offer @carlsbad2Â I finally found the specs on the Leviton, maximum size is 0.7" thick, which is the same as the Furutech model I posted above. |
