Doing it yourself only works if you do it right. In the long run, it might be better, both sonically and financially, if you acquire some test equipment and have the dealer walk you through the steps. Assuming the dealer has performed the setup a number of times in varying acoustic environments their knowledge and insight should prove well worth their nominal expense.
Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing
Awhile back I purchased a pair of Vandersteen 5's and I inquired regarding placement, etc., etc. As anyone who has these knows, there are a host of room contour adjustments that can be done. There are 11 adjustment "pots" for bass contour which generally require the use of an SPL meter and test CD to set accurately. One fine Audiogonner said in an e-mail that he had a very good way to accomplish these adjustments by "ear" and that I should contact him once I was fully satisfied with the speaker placement, cables, etc. Now, the e-mail (and address) has gone missing. Would that member be so kind as to contact me again? Of course, I would also welcome comment and advice from others. Thanks
