sphinxsix Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Sorry but I do have to comment on that. To all the guys who don't have a carpet in their listening rooms - your systems deserve it! They deserve to sound good! I can assure you it will be the most fantastic upgrade since you began to listen to the music in this room and BTW probably the most cost effective one! Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thank you for the input Dr Tone. I should have said that i'm happy with the sound getting out... it is an appartment, not mine... and where i was standing for the picture, it is a row of thick cotton curtain doing the width, then it's my sleeping room open in the back. i was just curious if for 35 canadian $ i could put 5 panels behind my speakers to give me more room feeling and adding little more bass or the 2 Zorbers panels for 35$ also... Don't have even that money to spend :-) if those panels don't go there, or do nothing, i'll stay like i am now... thank you for input. Dr.Tone is right the floor surface not covered by the rug is a bigger problem. If you place a bigger rug there you will also have an impression of bigger bass in the room. If you put absorbing panels behind the speakers the quantity of bass will lower but it's quality (speed, definition) will improve slightly. The side walls reflections shouldn't be a big problem 'cause the distance between the speakers and the walls is big enough. Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 @ Udayan A very nice, neat looking interior. White and blue (I use them myself in my appartments often) are so 'Mediterranean'..[h=3]And last but not least - love those cute, red bass traps [/h] Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi sphinxsix, I would rather say "Asstraps" because these are additional seats !!! Bass.. ass.. I knew that of course. Was just kidding. BTW that's exactly an additional colour element (seats also) I have in my white and blue listening room. I simply like the colours! Link to comment

sphinxsix Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Are you using the same speakers for more than 50 years as indicated in your signature? I believe sbank uses 50 years old ears which isn't bad IMO. If trained in critical listening can be much better than 20 yo despite worse looking hearing curve, mainly in high frequencies area (I say this from my own experience ) Link to comment

sphinxsix Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 LOL, what is it with cats and bass?, here's one of mine. According to my knowledge we cats' owners are kind of second mothers to our pets - we feed them, pet them etc. There is one thing we don't do - we (well maybe most of us) don't purr. The subwoofers do. So my theory is - a sub is a third mother to a cat My feline spends hours in front or behind the left sub. She doesn't care about the right one. Probably because the right one is simply farther from the fridge Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 That perfect summing up could only have been written by a true cat connoisseur. ... brilliant. ... new product idea, sub woofer that incorporates jelly based food dispenser (my (old) cats are jelly mad!) Lovely room BTW buddy. ;-) I'm flattered, mate. As for jelly there is 100% agreement between your cats and my old lady. The idea of jelly dispensing (let's call it) catwoofer is just terrific! But I'm afraid that in this case a sub would quickly become mother no.2 (or maybe even no.1) for our cats! Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 From front on you can see the glow of the plasma tweeter. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32008[/ATTACH] But they don't create the 'Star Wars' swords light effects, do they.? Awesome looking speakers! Link to comment

As you can see it is a d’apolito configuration with 15cm paper cone mid/bass divers and a beryllium dome tweeter. I chose this configuration for its point source characteristics. The only thing you do not see very often is that I can time align it. So I can tilt the two mid cabinets closer or away from the tweeter cabinet. The bass is a closed cabinet with a 3,5 cm wall thickness and internal bracing. The driver is an 10” AudioTechnology flex unit optimized for a closed cabinet and a sandwich cone. All this is cost me about 5000 euro in parts and really a lot of man hours. https://www.scan-speak.dk/product-families/fam-illuminator/?single_prod_id=97 https://www.scan-speak.dk/product-families/fam-illuminator/?single_prod_id=195 http://www.audiotechnology.dk/iz.asp?id=4|a|933||| I understand that an important part is also the cat guarding the crossovers. Mine also used to like to lie right next to my subs. Cats are bassheads, no doubt about it! DuckToller and Audiophile Neuroscience 2 Link to comment
