01-31-10: Mikelavigne
as a few above have mentioned, my room has taken some significant steps forward....and this is really a mid-point in the process as some re-building is still on tap for this next week.
thanks Jazzdoc, for the very eloquent kind words. that was basically the room with a 'cowboy' setup and adjustment done by me to get a feel for things. the speakers back where they had been, no real investigative approach. that was Thursday night.
Friday jtinn drove up from Portland and spent late friday night, off and on all day Saturday, and some even Sunday am measureing and adjusting. my perspective is that where it's at now is quite a ways from what Jazzdoc heard on Thursday night. as jtinn mentions, the room is no longer holding back things in a musical sense. yesterday we had visitors all day (and night) listening so i did not really get a chance to sit down and listen by myself and get a full grip on things. today has been mostly a 'wife' day (she's earned it and then some) so i've not spent much time listening.
the room did measure very flat from 80hz on up with the speaker adjustments set to flat with the speakers in their previous postions. the suckout at 30hz--50hz is gone. there are still issues to deal with in the bass.....most of which jtinn was able to adjust out so listening it's pretty damn good. but since there is still finish work to do we did not really move the speakers around the room to see if we could find a better overall balance. so the real 'heavy lifting' speaker set-up will wait a few weeks until the work is complete.
if things never got any better than what i'm hearing right now i'd be very happy.
