| Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System +1 on the room comment. How good was their room compared to your room? Because $380k in gear doesn’t even count whatever costs it might take for your room to measure up to their room. (Maybe.) I don’t know how good my system is ($17k) but I love i... | |
| Please Educate Me Hi Paul, Welcome to the forum. I’ve been educating myself pretty intensively in audio questions such as yours for about a year. What I’ve found helpful is to watch videos on Youtube, especially by Paul McGowan, Tarun, Darko, Audioholics, Hans Beek... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a speaker you can turn right up and continue enjoying clean pristine treble?Is there even such a thing?And MC replied: "There is. Unfortunately very hard to find. Fast as they build em, fanboys snap em up."That is just ... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? Thanks, rc22. I continue to use REW and have benefited from help from numerous nice people and also from videos online. I think some of those videos can help push you further toward more measuring, and if I can tell you anything useful, please P.M... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? I have low ceilings, so I really don't know if this is indicative of anything but my room, but:Focal 936s. Even with burn in, they were really too bright. Fantastic soundstage, though.ML Motion 60s XTi. Also too bright, but a lovely airy quality t... | |

| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? Did a little search on "fake plants." Some really funny replies and results, but not much in the way of confirmation they can help much. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/fake-plants-behind-speakers-a-good-idea | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? @schlammorgan What an incredible room and you must be quite handy. Great job. I do not have those skills and I'm also not aiming for these Olympian peaks, so I suppose there are various tiers of accomplishment at which Foley's products and labor a... | |

| If Cables Are Not Tone Controls... It's a good question. I've taken that comment to mean this: "If you want to affect the tonal balance of your system, the are many better ways to do it." This argument would probably also say, "Get your system balanced as you like it and then the c... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? It's true that "There are no guarantees when you hire these guys" so all I'm seeking with my question is which of these guys is better, more reasonably priced, more risky, etc. I think the writing on the wall is pretty clear. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? Thanks for the feedback yyz and pureaudio. Mahgister, I think I've seen your story a few hundred times. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? Thanks @wwoodrum for your experiences. I have heard from several experienced people who added treatments early on only to find they didn't do anything. But, as you relate, adding more seemed to pull things into visible (or audible) range and then ... | |
| How does Donald Fagen do it? Fagen has a great ear and musical sense, but don't underestimate Nichols. Read about "Wendel" which he invented for Gaucho. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Nichols_(recording_engineer) |
