| Tact 2.2XP for room correction "proof of concept" Edorr,I've measured my room with Studio Wizard EQ (a room Wizard variant) and saw consistent results between the SMS-1 readout and the SWEQ analysis, so this sounds like it might be room specific. However, I will say that the XT32 full range EQ on... | |
| Tact 2.2XP for room correction "proof of concept" I don't have an answer for you, but I can suggest an alternative approach to answering your question:Try to get hold of a Velodyne SMS-1. They're less than $400 new. This will provide "subwoofer only" room EQ and give you a good sense - tho not a ... | |
| Cary 805 C or 805 AE? I would note that some speakers (like my Parsifal Encores) do change character when the 845s are pulled for 211s. The ability to preview with both 845 and 211 and stick with the better match for the speaker that you are using at that time (and tha... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Slightly OTIn my main system, I cycle my speakers from time to time. Ohm 100s to MMGs and back with a pair of Rythmik subs on bottom. The Ohms just rotated back into service (after +/- 4 months of MMG service) and reminded me just how good they ar... | |
| U.S. Symphony Orchestras The biggest problem that I see is a public hostile to supporting the arts. The NEA is under constant attack fro the right and that source of funding has now shrunk to (last I looked) app 5% of their budgets. Since ticket sales won't do (insufficie... | |
| 2012 Discoveries Just ordered both of the Amelia Curran discs - thanx for the heads up. | |
| First subwoofer for a newbie. This database may be helpful:http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/subwoofer-tests-archived/6015-index-subwoofer-tests-manufacturer-model.htmlMarty | |
| It was 44 years ago that... Since someone eventually got around to Pet Sounds, I'll add a single (rather than an LP):Chuck Berry's 1955 release, "Maybellene", at which time - it could be argued - Rock n Roll is born.Marty | |
| What makes a speaker too big for a given room? A speaker can be too large for a room for any of the reasons already cited. However, specifically as to low bass and room size ("20hz is 20hz"):Quarter wave cancellation (reflections of omnidirectional low frequency waves - usually off the wall be... | |
| Bose Accumass EQ You could call Bose and tell them that the EQ unit was lost during a home move/relocation. See what they say. Kinda hard to believe that they'd turn away a customer in that situation, but who knows?Good LuckMarty | |
| guitar solos where less is more Dracule,Thanks for the links - really, really great. You included a couple of players I love (Roth and Emmanuel), a couple I hugely admire but don't love (Bream and Vai), and one that I've never heard of (Matt Rach). I thought that every choice yo... | |
| guitar solos where less is more To fully appreciate Onhyway 61's response:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9E1by7PocEForward to the 1:43 markThis nomination will not be beaten!Marty | |
| Fastest subwoofer? My bad. I have Minuettos and my experience refers to that model. I simply misread your original post.OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised if all of the older SF bookshelf speakers were voiced in a similar manner (midbass hump) and might be a tough match ... | |
| Fastest subwoofer? IME, the SF Minuetto will be a very tough mate for any subwoofer. The speaker's FR is significantly elevated thru the entire bottom octave (plus) of it's response. If you mate a sub for seamless transition at the crossover point, you'll have too m... | |
| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? Larry beat me to it. There's room in my life for anyone who can create that tone.Marty |
