| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @mapman @brownsfan Thanks for looking at the diagram. As I said in other posts, I'm NOT having problems with the highs w/bookshelves. Improving the lows would be a reason I'd move things around. (I'll try the REW.) The suggestion to lower my seat ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @decooney No one is "one and done," at least not on this forum. The very claim is laughable braggadocio. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @mapman mapman, here is a diagram: https://tinyurl.com/y26272p4 In front of my couch is a rug. No coffee table or other reflective surface.Agree, it's not easy. And notice, when I asked him how many speakers he'd had…radio silence.@twoleftears Di... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @lalitk I'll take a listen. Though I'm not sure how people make sense of a speaker which is through different electronics, in a different room, via a microphone, through my laptop and headphones. What of the original sound survives all that? Taylo... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) I experimented by changing the room orientation. It made no difference in brightness of the sound. Many people talk about the non-harsh qualities of the AMT tweeter so I am not really sure where it is coming from if it is not the room. However, i... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Alright you bast*rds. ;-) I’m going to test it out. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @jackd It would be worth trying that. I’m suspicious that 6.5 ft ceilings will be a problem wherever the TOWER speakers are, but if I don’t try, I’ll never know. That said, I am NOT having a problem with any bookshelves I’ve tried in the room, so ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @twoleftears Thanks. At 40" high, my concern would be about my low ceiling and the problems noted previously that other towers caused. So if VA is a suggestion worth making an effort over, I'd need to know why this otherwise fine speaker would *n... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @b_limo et al. Can’t really do the setup as suggested, as it’s a guest bedroom. Plus, set up along the long wall, I’ve got side wall reflections ping ponging all the way along. Short wall has a lot of recommenders, too, but I’m not ginning up that... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) One and done. That’s so much easier. How nice to just know what right is. I envy those who are decades into this hobby who don’t need to research, ask questions, buy and try and return. Then again, I'm kind of enjoying this process. Which I suppos... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @mapman Thanks. I'm saving the page for those stands. Your point about amps not being taxed to do the work (even if they're up to the challenge) is good advice and I'll factor it in.I was very interested in Ohm for a while. (Kept seeing them on th... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) I don't know if this will work, but here's a diagram: https://tinyurl.com/y26272p4 | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @dougsat Yes, it has been fun to try stuff! What's harder is uncovering one's own misconceptions and sometimes big blind spots. But it's all growth, so I feel fortunate. I have *some* notion that a smaller tower — a slim, shorter one like the Spe... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Appreciate all the posts. Audio is such a tricky subject on which to compare notes. It's common wisdom to try things out in one's own home, yet every room is different. And the associated gear is different. So, when I utter a simple claim like "sp... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @oldhyvymec. Tried your suggestion by bringing in a different listening chair which lowered my ears. It helped but speakers still too big, bright. Heading in a a different direction, now...learning my room plus eliminating problematic speakers as ... |
