Professional Audio Calibrator recommendation plz
So I called Jim Smith first since he actually wrote a book. He turned me down stating a few too many obstacles. Guess the sound got the better of me:)2 others from my list turned me down. Audiotroy didn't get back to me. Only in this hobby do I ha... 
Professional Audio Calibrator recommendation plz
Audiotroy,Thanks for your reply. I'm 90% BD movies, so I want my room optimized for movies. My room is 19' x 11.2 x 8'. My room is what it is so I have to make do with what I got. My acoustic treatments have stands. I installed on ceiling though.H... 
How do I "compromise" speaker placement
Finally use a PEQ or TACT or PARC to fix the worst of the room modesI decided on the Audyssey EQ after auditioning for some time. I auditioned 2 other EQ's. Rule of thumb - speakers placed well out into the room will excite less room modes. Keep a... 
How do I "compromise" speaker placement
Actually your room is not quite that small. A bit narrow but otherwise I'd consider this a smaller mid-size room.I only have 8' usable width. I have fire place on 1 side and bookshelves on the other. I also have cabinets in the fron and back of t... 
How do I "compromise" speaker placement
Very cool room BTW. Thanks.But from what I can tell from your picts.Old pics. Sorry. The actual room is the same, but I did many tweaks over the years. A professional once cam and moved the speakers by ears. I also bought a BIG 2 seater HT seat. I... 
How do I "compromise" speaker placement
I see possibilities:I can simply take the flattest response.Or I can take the flattest bass response.Or I can choose the flattest human voice range response. 
How do I "compromise" speaker placement
Helps a lot. Thanks. I will research.I want to take baby steps for now. Acoustic treatment is not an option. For step #1 I want to do speaker placement. I have a very small room so there is not that much leeway. I figure there are about 8 position... 
Using Krell rca & bal outputs for the same channel
Don't forget I have an EQ sitting between PrePro & Amp. I just found there are subs with master/slave relationships. I found one anyway. The fathoms' slave outputs are balanced. So when my EQ sends bass and tests for it both subs will fire. I ...

Sumiko told me that there is no way to bypass the x-over when I Emailed them. Do you think there is a way to bypass? I would be forever in your debt.On page 3 of the manual it describes the connections.http://www.sumikoaudio.net/sonus/manuals/csub...

What would be a good matching sub for $2,500 for the Cremonas?http://www.sumikoaudio.net/sonus/prod_cremona_m.htmhttp://www.sumikoaudio.net/sonus/prod_cremonacenter.htm 
Using Krell rca & bal outputs for the same channel
Yeah...I think I'm just going to get a new Sub. It big time sucks Sonus Faber put a crossover in it. Who the heck would want a crossover in a sub when it won’t be compatible with all the audio formats? It's a $4,500 sub.http://www.sumikoaudio.net/... 
Using Krell rca & bal outputs for the same channel
I use the balanced outs for my main speakers and they run full range. This works very well and there is no crossover to muck up the sound of my mains.I am concerned about 2 issues:1) To send my mains full bass because a) Wearing and overtaxing my ... 
Using Krell rca & bal outputs for the same channel
In music this is not an issue. The lfe does not get information above the crossover. My system crossover is 60hz.However, if my processor doesn't create the LFE output like in music and if the LFE comes from an independent source other then existi... 
Using Krell rca & bal outputs for the same channel
What does the subs cutoff have to do with your main speakers/rear?My main goal is to get my missing freqs between 66 - 125hz.Dolby Digital's specs allow for freqs up to 125hz in the dedicated LFE channel. If my sub cuts off freqs between 66 and 12...
