Article: A New Listening Room Part Two: Acoustics, Speakers, DSP

Great article.

 

I have very similar French doors.  The resonance drives me nuts.  Do you have that problem?  I want to take them out, but the owner of the house won't allow it (as long as it doesn't interfere with the PBS pledge drive, I guess it is just fine and dandy).

Bill, you can angle the speakers and/or put something on the glass - even paper drawings done by children will help

 

Mine are off to the side, but I could try plastering them over with rejected grant applications or something.

also just realized that a Golden Retr. genetically engineered into Wookie form would be perfect to cover the glass doors

 

If you look closely at the bottom left, next to the fan, you can see we have already over-expressed the construct.

 

(The fan is there because the ceiling fan failed.)

It’s crazy how much of my music I can hear now that I’ve gone through this fairly painless process. It also exposes equipment differences much better because they aren’t masked by my room. 

 

I've sometimes wondered if DSP might mask equipment differences, especially with speakers (assuming one re-generates a response filter for each set of equipment to be compared).
