| Room acoustics Indeed Randy (I have an open plan as well), but real life rooms are almost invariably more complex than simple models. Therefore, rather than measure dimensions, I prefer to measure (and adress) the response. | |
| Room acoustics I bit of bass lift is not quite the same as a bass peak. These peaks generate one note bass.As a practical solution in real life where you want to maintain an elegant decor, I think the combination of two smallish subwoofers plus an automatic equa... | |

| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers Is the electricity in the MC501's moving more slowly? | |
| Atmos’ killer app? Sounds like, amusingly, headphones I do watch movies (and opera) at home, but my preferred means is to just use my stereo system as a HT system. I think it works pretty well, and I also think that two really good but necessarily large speakers give a sound that is at least in some ... | |
| Room acoustics Shadorne, Thanks for pointing this out: indeed there are other systems as well. REW is what I use and, I think, most people. Of course, there are also other automated measurement and equalization systems (I use one myself). My plan was to leave th... | |
| Room acoustics The discussion about weighting is how much different frequencies should be weighted to measure total sound level. That is a different issue and not relevant here. | |
| Room acoustics By the way, is there a way to post graphs here? | |
| Room acoustics The result is likely to horrify you, and serves to underscore the importance of speakers and of optimizing their in-room response. It is not unusual to measure in-room peaks and dips of +/- 10 dB. Compare that to the peaks and dips of good electro... | |
| Room acoustics OK, for a kick off: measurement. To measure and interpret in-room response, you need a measurement microphone and a system to generate test signals, to record the response, and visualize those data in a graph. These days, that can all be done with... | |
| Should I buy SACD's or Buy Quality Multi-Format CD player and use Old Digital CD's? The problem with that observation is that SACD masterings are rarely the same as those for RedBook. I have a BD recording of Strawinsky ballets by Gergiev and the sound is indeed spectacular. Is that due to the HD format, or to the mastering that ... | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Of course the science of audio reproduction is not the same as the enjoyment of listening to music. Art is not science. Does more accurate reproduction increase the enjoyment? For me, yes, and that is why I have spent quite a bit of money on it, a... | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Not sure which pot and kettle. Like it or not, my contributions do have science based argument and substance. | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Talking of trolling - I note that many of your posts are nothing more than ridiculing the contributions of more scientifically inclined posters. |
