| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Please understand that I am not going on about my extensive knowledge, super powers or my sneakers are better. I started this thread hoping to touch on some basics to help the blue collar guy who cannot afford to have a pro come help them setup as... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings GlupsonThank you. Lol.... Now to continue on placement.I think I have successfully defended my explanation on speaker placement/position. Ultimately the goal is to time align tweeters, midrange and/or midwoofers. All 3 have different dispersion pa... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Wow indeed. We apparently read English differently.audio2design wrote “There is nothing "golden" about an equalateral triangle at least for sound. There is not a lot to justify it.”Now I can’t quote your post because your all over the place. You a... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Silence after post 27? | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Here you go, quoted from the manufacturer.Anthony GalloDepending on décor considerations you may wish to position your Nucleus Reference3’s within a just a few inches of the wall behind them, but the sound will be more "open" when the speakers are... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Wow. I think someone should let the speaker manufacturers know the information in there instruction manual is false | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings As eloquent as all that sounds, you offered up nothing to help any person reading this. On the other hand, you take a measuring tape and use those simple triangle steps, stay 2-4ft away from walls and toe in a little at time. Something I recommend... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Using the steps I described are basics that apply for a majority of homes. The equilateral setup is about timing and alignment of the sound waves from the speakers. The recording is done in a studio and fine tuned later on in a dedicated space whi... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Tuberculini haven’t tried the Jim Smith method yet, since I’ve been home for 6 months and it looks like I’ll be here for a while, maybe I’ll take the time to try something different ;-) | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Audiorusty I’m assuming you dialed in position? If you have, you can tinker quite a bit. Lifting the front of the speakers can lift your soundstage and depending on the speakers it can level the sound making it sound like a single plane. | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings The front inside corner is your pivot point. Keeping that corner in place helps maintain your distance/timing. | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings 1st, you want to be at least 2-4 ft from rear and side walls and you don’t want anything next to your speakers. The triangle is equal distance from you and each speaker. All 3 sides should be equal. That is your starting point, from there you can ... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings And this is why I think the high end market may end up going to the smaller brands. As companies continue to fall under the umbrella of larger companies, you start to see quality suffers. What made the brand special is gone. | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings The small companies like that are most likely the future of high end. Harmon went buying out a lot of its competition for a few decades and now Samsung purchased Harmon. I havent been keeping track but there are a handful of companies that own a l... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Ok back to budget. Since I buy & sell I run across some great deals from time to time. A recent find was the well regarded Odyssey Stratos Extreme Monoblocks. After posting them for sale, I received quite a few emails asking the same 2 questio... |
