| Acoustic treatment This is one of the weirdest fantasy land treads I've ever read on A-Gon.So much bad information that it should be deleted. Magic thimbles as room treatment? Shear pressures? Electromagnetism in sound waves? Can't hear bass below 80hz? That kn... | |
| Why so many used focals? ozzy3,584 postsCheck out my review of the Sopra 2's.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/my-speaker-journey-and-focal-sopra-2ozzyThat matched my experience with the Sopra as well. While I was nicer to the dealer. My comment to the dealer was,... | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. Only tone control in my system is an analog PEQ in the sub that does not affect the mains. No tone control on the preamp.My room is a sonic mess but it is treated with a collection of purchased and DIY treatments placed strategically using REW. Sp... | |
| R2R Dacs $3K or under Yes, Mytek is delta sigma using Sabre chips. Not an R2R design. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Interesting discussion.Two flags went off early on both based on your room dimensions. First in the sheer size of the room, and second, the dimensions that are multiples of another dimension, 20x40x11. One dimension being a multiple of another ... | |
| Speaker suggestions:long-wall, somewhat nearfield. You are definatley in a higher class of speakers than me. Given that class, I can't imagine any speakers in that league having one note bass.I would look at the room for issues. Has the room been treated? When you say "about" a 10 by 20 room, how ... | |
| In room response Bob, Yes, the changes definately cleaned up bass issues. Based on my original graph I had two note bass. Now it is much more even.I wouldn't have even attempted this without the software. I did adjust my sub (used only for HT) manually once. It wa... | |
| In room response As to follow up my previous post, is there a target RT30 or RT60 time?What made me ask is we have a small auditorium at work that seems like it was built using the classic LEDE approach and it is D E A D. IMO, it is overkill and boarderline diffic... | |
| In room response 04-23-08: Holenneck, not sure how to post my in-room response, but it is pretty snazzy, especially since i am incorporating Anthem's new room control.I'm curious, since you have the tools to look into this, how does "room control" affect the water... | |
| In room response This could be a fun thread. Your rooms are much better than mine.Here is my before graph. This was my initial FR measurement before doing any room treatments or changing speaker placement.[URL=http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/s/f/1208799876.jpg]Origi... | |
| Tubes or solid state for Sonus Faber Grand Piano If you want bass wamping sound then high power SS is in order. If you want sweet midrange magic with a softer more tubuy bass then the Mac is the ticket. If you want a combination then pick something in the middle. The GPH's will show the colors o... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? Cinematic_systems, sorry, didn't know I needed to be verified.I jumped into MC early (1992?) with a Pro-logic system centered around Klipsch Forte II's (bought new)and various center and surround speakers (read: tried different things over 10 year... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? I used to have an $6k MC system and now have a (roughly) $10 stereo. To me, it's no contest, Stereo. If I had a bigger budget I'd have a $15k or $20k stereo. A good stereo in a treated room can do everything that the same priced MC can do, ambianc... | |
