| Radical toe in once more Thanks @newbee. Very interesting. I have the greatest respect for Duke at Audiokinesis, the designer of my speakers, who has been extremely supportive. And yes, I am now back to radical toe-in. I thought this was mainly a fix for small rooms, but ... | |
| Radical toe in once more I find that I can use my listener chair as a volume control. Moving it backwards means less volume. It also means that I move back some seats in the listener hall, or the sound space of the recording. If I move my chair towards the speakers, I fee... | |
| Radical toe in once more Maybe I should clarify that I am testing toe-in in a living room with natural living room damping from furniture, book and record shelves, etc, as well as carpets and some ceiling damping. I don't want to overdamp and have removed some measures. T... | |
| Radical toe in once more @atmasphere - the reason why conventional toe in also works quite well in my room is that it is quite wide, sidewall reflections are not so disturbing. | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k Whatever the DAC, try Qobuz - to my ears, it usually sounds better. Since your analog taste (e g Telefunken tubes) resembles mine, you might like the Teac NT-505. I do. But then again I don't expect digital to sound better than (good) analog. | |
| Radical toe in once more Thanks. Interesting diagram. And unconventional. Care to explain a bit? | |
| Radical toe in once more @mijostyn You can find this under my systems info. Speakers: Audiokinesis Dream Maker v2 two-way bipoles. In phase. Big wide floorstanders made to "use" the reverberant sound. Room: Dimensions: 8,30 x 6,10 x 2,62 m / 27,2 x 20,0 x 8,5 feet | |
| Radical toe in once more @gumbedamit Get a buddy to swivel the speakers while you are in your listening position. Simple! thanks will try when i get the chance | |
| Radical toe in once more Hi @avanti1960 Thank you. I have done some of this procedure before, and I have also investigated through measurements (REW, Cara etc). Basically I am back to using my ears. For now I think I am fairly close to ideal, but in the future I may try... | |
| Radical toe in once more Yesterday I bought Endresen and Wesseltoft: Out here, in there, on 2 x LP 45 rpm (Jazzland records). It sounded so good that my wife played the whole thing once more (doesnt happen often). So I think we're nearly there. The setup is much like @rhl... | |
| Radical toe in once more Hi @newbee Jokes aside - I agree with most of what you said. Listen. Take time. Small changes can have a large impact. - This is all the more true with dynamic bipoles like mine. Just to clarify: my room is large enough that radical toe-in is n... | |
| Radical toe in once more Thanks @newbee. I'll think about it...no no! on with the music : - ) | |
| Radical toe in once more Thanks everyone. Like I suspected, no consensus. Same thing from my web searches. I read about a guy who went back to conventional toe-in although radical sounded better. Why? It «looked wrong»! Sure, I will follow my own ears, but in this case I... | |
| Radical toe in once more Thanks to both of you! My room is quite large, I dont have major problems with side wall reflections or back wave boom, and the off axis treble response is quite smooth. So my speakers sound very good with radical toe in but also good with conven... | |
