| 2 subs in a small room? Can someone pls describe what the benefit of adding a second sub would be over having just one? Is the bass tighter, deeper, clearer, etc? Is the rest of the frequency range also improved somehow? | |
| Help with speaker placement in my real life room Yeah I am beginning to think side wall reflections are not that big of a deal. I think getting the mid bass and bass right is the most important thing to do. Also, addressing the ceiling reflections had a bigger impact. For me, the equilateral ... | |
| Help with speaker placement in my real life room Mark, I will send some pics shortly. In a nutshell, my speakers are very close to the sidewalls (> 1') with zero toe in. I sit in an equilateral triangle. In fact, toe in created dips at 630 and 315hz. It should be noted that I have bass tr... | |
| Help with speaker placement in my real life room Mark, I dont have a home theater set up either, just plan ol 2-channel with a sub. All you need are some test tones (I bought a test tones cd from Rives audio ages ago) and an SPL meter. I dont know how good the iphone is but I used a Radio Shack ... | |
| Help with speaker placement in my real life room Mark, having just gone through speaker placement in my small room, I can say that using an SPL meter helped me tremendously. Also, dont be afraid to try speaker positions that may not make sense (visually or logically). I cannot believe how m... | |
| Unconventional speaker setups tboooe, isn't that the fun part of this hobby?In my opinion, even if you do get a dedicated music room, you'll still be tweaking! Good point! Frankly I think I like tweaking and buying gear more than I actually like listening to music! | |
| Is Anyone Using Dirac Live Or Other Room Correction? I too am considering DIRAC but before taking the plunge I spent fair amount of time working on speaker placement and room treatments as ejr1953 recommends. According to my spl meter I am pretty much getting +-2db from 20-1000hz. Needless to say,... | |
| Adding sub to Sonus Faver Guarneri Evolutions...need advice where to set crossover on sub I have since repositioned by speakers and get my sub dialed in (I think). In my room, I was actually getting good, flat sub response from 50hz - 40hz. Once I spent some time moving my speakers around I get +- 2db response from 100-20hz, with a +... | |
| Rubidium Clock Thank you zephyr! Things are good thank you! I hope all is well with you too! I am really happy to have found this thread as I have been thinking about adding a clock to my system. Actually I was thinking about this waaay back when I still had... | |
| Unconventional speaker setups Thanks for the input guys! Its great to hear about others who have challenging room/domestic limitations and what had to be done to address them. One day I will have a dedicated music room and wont have to go through all these crazy gyrations to... | |
| Rubidium Clock Fascinating find. I may have to consider this to work with Mutec 3+usb converter. Can you please let me know the part # of what you purchased? | |
| Subwoofer I finally got my Rel T/5i sub set.up with my Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution monitors. The sub is crossed over at a little below 40Hz. Using my spl meter I verified that I am getting pretty flat response from 100Hz down to 20Hz! I am completely s... | |
| Need help with room and speaker setup, big dip from 250-80hz First of all, thank you all for the input. I spent a few hours moving my speakers around my music room, trying to move the speakers closer to the front wall, closer together, adjusting the toe, etc. I was able to get varying degrees of success but... | |
| Need help with room and speaker setup, big dip from 250-80hz I should also note that my biggest dips are at 80 and 160hz. Not sure if that helps or not. | |
| Whats a good freq to measure baseline SPL when calibrating a sub? Thank you for the reply. I thought it was better to use specific freq test tones to set up the sub??? |
