| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) This shows a before and after where a suckout at 75 Hz is completely removed MinitrapsThe entire demonstration is on the Minitraps Demonstration video Since this room is probably particularly bad -I don't think you can typically expect a dramatic ... | |
| Planar close to a rear wall? Quad for example? If you can completely absorb the backwave, it would probably work. Unfortunately I don't think that's realistically possible. The problem is, the two-foot round-trip path length difference (imparting a 2-millisecond delay) before the backwave ene... | |
| Have you noticed that... That's because you are more interested in the sound of boxes and wires instead of music. LOL. Yes we are all guilty as charged!! Some more than others but all guilty of that for sure. I'll go without music until I aquire that one piece and won't ... | |
| bi-wire cables on single binding post, sonic loss? I was just wary of negative effects that anyone might have experienced to be a show-stopper.Absolutely no negative effects. You can wire this up and it will work great provided you don't mix +/- or red/black on the four spades at the speaker end ... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) It is a while since I visited Realtraps website. There is a wealth of information here. I think Ethan does great service to audiophiles everywhere whether you buy his Realtraps or another acoustic company's products. I got GIK Tri-traps becuase I ... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) after i treated my room with bass traps, the nulls were not measurably better. Good point - I hope nobody goes away with the impression that bass traps can cure suckouts. I agre that it takes a significant amount of broadband bass trapping to mak... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) What would need filling in? Below 16hz? Those nasty suckouts. If you place the sub closer to the listening position and further from a wall/corner then you can hope to provide some "fill" where the main speakers produce a terrible suckout at your... | |
| bi-wire cables on single binding post, sonic loss? If you connect the wires together at both ends (amp and speaker binding post) then technically this is so little different from a thicker gauge of wire as to be of dubious benefit = think about it => you are shorted at both ends so the signal m... | |
| Ultra high resolution Dave,As talented and generous a musician as you are, I'll wager that you wouldn't mind helping Diana Krall learn to play your trumpet. ;-) | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) I dont run a sub as I run speakers that have usable bass to 16HZ but I may try to add my sub to fill in suck out if nothing else works If your speakers are very symmetrically placed with respect to the room and listener (as most people) then you ... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) Bob,Sorry ....not laughing at you but the plots that Ethan shows have huge differences over a few inches in a real listening environment. It has to make one "laugh" and put things in proper perspective when one looks at a Stereophile set of pristi... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) LOL. Bob is quite correct - bass traps can help suckouts. The others that chimed in against Bob are of course making what superficially appear to be logical statements. A very understandable misconception.The same understandable thing happens when... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? What all the fuss about palladium. That stuff is really mediocre for audio.The best material for audio cables is Polonium. An acquaintance of mine had a set of Polonium Ultra 210 KGB Cables installed (a gift from a Russian friend) and although I h... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) When I move the SPL around even a foot or two it changes everything but the suck out cant be cured to any huge degree so I am curious as to possible solutions This kind of result is quite normal - you may not even realize that you were getting "o... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers in Ceiling Corners? I'd go Bose acoustimass in this situation....the satellites have almost nothing below 120 Hz so not much modal issues right in the corner. Bose are a good design for a half decent sound in crazy placements. |
