| Acoustical Solutions or Auralex LENRD bass traps Fishboat,Thanks. Great links! Reading further, to summarize;It seems foam or mineral wool or fibreglass (or many other materials) of similar density, size and placement can do equally well (assuming appropriate framing)In theory the higher density... | |
| Good speakers less efficient? Duke,Thanks, I am sure you are right about the causes or shifting tonal balance (from different driver sensitivities). My experience is probably not representative as it does not involve more than a few dozen designs.However there is another angle... | |
| Anyone Totally Content With Their System? Shadorne, are you talking about live ACOUSTIC performances like Mrtennis? Absolutely, the real live symphony orchestra, opera, ballet, quartets and such. I will be the first to admit that the visual and spatial cues of real music in a real live v... | |
| Acoustical Solutions or Auralex LENRD bass traps Stevecham,I looked the numbers compared to these Tri-trapsTest were made in the same laboratory but sample size was different and one was corner tested and the other against a wall.Here are the results at 100HZ;64 linear feet of Auralex LENRD Bass... | |
| Improving sound in the room I looked into this...it seems you need 2" thickness to really do any good. Another option might be a wooden box array....looks kind of modern and you can stain the wood in a nice colour. Perhaps you could even put a few nik-nacks in it.Another opt... | |
| Good speakers less efficient? My experience has been that high efficiency speakers are more likely to compress than low efficiency speakers...even at modest SPL levels. A low efficiency speaker often remains more balanced at various SPL levels whereas a high efficiency design ... | |
| Acoustical Solutions or Auralex LENRD bass traps Ecruz,Good suggestion. These are 2 Lb density which I believe is equivalent to Auralex. These Agon threads are so handy! | |
| Anyone Totally Content With Their System? it is hard to be content with a stereo system when live music is so much more satisfying. after attending a recital of acoustic performances, i have no interest in listening to any stereo system for a while. not my experience at all. I often go t... | |
| CD quality differences Absolutely. Mastering engineers try to iron out some differences from studio sessions and mixing but it is rare that it can all be reconciled to a totally consistent quality level. Live recordings are a little more consistent but rarely of high qu... | |
| Acoustical Solutions or Auralex LENRD bass traps I have been doing lots of research like yourself...tons and tons of reading. Broadband absorption is probably the safest bet...unless you are aiming at a particular issue. As Bulldogger points out, there is a risk to make a room worse sounding if ... | |
| Anyone Totally Content With Their System? Two Channel: Totally content with system. In all honesty, my speakers/sub are more than I have the right to ask for in a roughly 28 foot by 18 (partly 24) foot room, domestic setting. Many pros wish they could afford this kind of setup for daily u... | |
| M&K THX speakers for home theater Active. You will never look back. Done right this always has much better driver integration and much lower IM distortion than an equivalent passive design. | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Pre-echo is evident throughout the record, if there is a loud passage preceeded by a soft passage. I see, so you only hear it clearly when there is a loud passage preceeded by a soft passage...but does that mean it doesn't matter except in these ... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Pre-echo is a well known fault of LPs, and, to the best of my knowledge, comes about when the master is cut, not when copies are pressed. Eldartford,Do you mean it is only at the beginning....or throughout the whole LP??If you have echo going on ... | |
| English Speakers Bkonig,Too true, I forget to mention Harbeth as well. |
