| subwoofers and panels don't mix Firstly, I like Marty I don't understand the preoccupation with flat to 20 Hz - most rooms have 10 db SPL peaks and troughs in the bass and furthermore room boost always causes a rising output in SPL as you go lower with frequency. Secondly, the r... | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor So bigger is better for WAF, in some cases or is she compensating for a small TV? | |
| Enough detail or too much? Just curious how others feel.I am listening to Cat Empire "Live on Earth" at this moment and I don't really share your concerns at all - not even a little, actually not one tiny bit. "Too much detail" means something is wrong. If it were accurate... | |

| Ceiling Exhaust Fan -How loud is .5 sones? I just read an DIY article about an exhaust fan with .5 sones and the author gave a real life example: In his bedroom, the fan ran very quite that he was 10' away and he couldn't tell if it was On or not. That's a very good info for me. The guy i... | |
| Ceiling Exhaust Fan -How loud is .5 sones? Forget Sones those are all WAY to loud - sound like jet engines. You need something with DbA of around 10 at one meter (a big very slow moving fan if you want to move a lot of air). You can hear about 15 to 30 db below the noise floor and this mea... | |

| High End system sounding Terrible???? Onemug,Good one - that was my thought immediately. Nothing below 80 HZ would sound as was described - it is an easy mistake to make. | |
| Suck out at 165 hz...can't find the cause Depending on the order of the mode and type (Axial, Tangential or oblique) you will get peaks and troughs at different places across the room. The worst effects are when these combine at th elistening position.Some things go across the entire roo... | |

| 10 percent for cables ??? 10% is good maximum budget guideline - although you can spend a lot less and it will often be just fine. If you have spent more than this on all your cables and interconnects then you might have been better served by upgrading components /speakers... | |
| Suck out at 165 hz...can't find the cause If it is fairly consistent across the room then it could be woofer to floor and ceiling height effect (quarter wave cancellation) - a down firing subwoofer crossed over at 90 Hz might help. FWIW a null/suckout at 165 Hz is not too bad provided it ... |
