| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas That is a great story! I heard them at an AXPONA show in Chicago. I brought my wife and dad to the show because they had never heard sound reproduction on that level and I wanted them to understand what I was trying to achieve. (Thi... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live My system sounds live and spooky real depending on the recording. I think I can push it to live most of the time rather than some of the time with adding BACCH to my system this spring. I know live music, my dad practiced grand piano 3 hours a day... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I say I have spent 25 years putting it together and that I bought many things used. My wife says, “It’s irreplaceable” . . . I tell people when pressed, “Do you drink coffee?” They say “yes.” “Do you buy one most days for about $5?” They say, “Yes... | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? I built my system around the principles of Edward Choueiri and his BACCH system. It’s the last piece I have to add. As of now I try to find room spaces when I move that are not square which help with avoiding standing waves (Modes /Nodes) and keep... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Hi Eric, Yes I’ve based my system on the principles of Edgar Choueiri. The missing piece to my system is his BACCH 3D sound implementation. I didn’t get into all that for the sake of simplicity. Just because a system is set up correctly doesn... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Time delay is something that your brain uses to locate sounds in space. We are extremely sensitive to it. We can perceive fractions of a second. The reason we know that a sound comes from right center is because our ears and brain are sensitive en... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Please don’t be rude and call science BS because you don’t believe in it. These are measurable results that I can produce which you can hear and isn’t BS in any way. Your example with thunder and lightening is a great practical high school exampl... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Hi Paul, I have a time / phase aligned, and room corrected system at the listening position by way of digital crossovers processed through my Mini DSP using a mic that has a 30Hz-30KHz sensitivity range. Let me first speak to the basic princi... | |
| Something amazing - what would you buy Hi Txhometheater, I use my system about 50/50 for home theater and music. The sound is absolutely superb for both. Although I am not a fan of “surround sound” with speakers itching things in my ears that shouldn’t exist. I’ve gone for the t... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? Hilde45 - lots of great information here and ways to do this. I have four large subwoofers and measured the room (speakers and listening position) with Room EQ Wizard and then input that data into Multi Sub Optimizer via an Earthworks M30 micropho... | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? Just updated my site with my most recent project :) I built a custom gaming PC. . . - Steve | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? I agree, it’s been a frustration of mine for years that people don’t take the time to take a photo or two of their systems, especially with how easy it is due to cell phones. I researched a lot before having the money to get my system and frankly ... | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 Someone mentioned it already but a 1.7 or 3.7 Maggies with a small distributed sub array of four subs gets you the best or both worlds. All the illustrious mids and highs with perfectly integrated base. If you go active with a mini DSP you can do ... | |
| New Magnepan "Concept Speaker" introduced at Audio Connection I’m proof that a DBA can work with Maggie’s, I built my system around the concept. It’s all active with a mini DSP, 8 channels (4 subs) with 12 biquad filters on each. The filters were generated with an Earthworks Mic that measures +-30k using Roo... | |
| Lowther Bass Reflex and Subwoofers To make some good WAF I made two of my subs into end tables. It’s amazing what a 1” thick piece of glass and a lamp will do you hide them. Most people have no idea they are speakers. :) |
