| 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. | |
| Amp recommendation please SST is smoother in Bryston's line but they all pull no punches and you simply won't get smooth warm coloration from a Bryston. | |
| Ultra high resolution My father played trombone in a big band that used to play during the old dance hall days. I used to play clarinet and I'm currently working on drums as you will see in my system here. | |
| Great systems in butt-ugly rooms Fussy people like fussy. Fussy is fun for fussy people. Perhaps fun is the wrong word....think of all the pleasure a man can still get from sticking his equipment in a butt ugly space. | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) Are your speakers running full range? If not then try them full range and move them another foot out from the wall. If your subwoofer is in a corner then you really need to reconsider moving it out into the room for a more even response. | |
| Great systems in butt-ugly rooms Personally, the visual esthetics are as important to me I have always been happy with somewhere to stick my gear never mind aesthetics. If you are too fussy then you miss out on a lot of fun. |
