    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    I should be a newbie for asking this question: is there any reason to use LFE for music? For Blu-Ray and SACD in particular I have never used LFE. "E" is for effects, naturlich.

    The Netherland Bach society - St. Matthew passion

    How about the Saint John Passion by the same forces? Plus a theological intro to the piece: https://wolfmueller.co/bachs-st-johns-passion-a-quick-start-guide/

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    "If it's not audible then the issues it was counteracting weren't audible either." Unless I am missing something basic, this does not make sense. If something being cancelled out is audible before cancellation, then it and the cancelling signal should not be audible at all. The idea is that...

    The Netherland Bach society - St. Matthew passion

    Thanks for starting this thread. Here is a link to a not-too-long discussion of the Matthew Passion, originally sung for Good-Friday Vespers: https://brightmorningstar.org/saint-matthew-passion/ I would like to point out an historic performance by the Bruno-Kittel-Chor and the Berliner Phil...

    How Deep Must the Bass Be?

    I imagine that bass freqs would sound very different with Dirac ART. Would be more than curious to hear from someone who has used it.

    JBL Studio 590 Speaker Review

    Am I reading the driver components graph correctly? It would appear that the lower woofer -the dashed line - is effecting the crossover with the tweeter? And Amir measured harmonic distortion with the bottom woofer only? Strange. The 2.5 design uses the upper woofer to crossover to the tweeter...

    Wood acoustic diffusers have become a decorative item - loved the idea!

    I think we need to know if there is a rule of thumb for the diffuser area / room volume.

    JBL M2 Clone

    I'm a bit confused about these crossovers. They appear to be used to protect the compression driver when used with Crown power amps. I wonder if there are any passive crossovers so that the clone M2s could be used with a single amp.

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    Mille mercis, M. Kirkwood. A mic boom up to 17m high is really necessary where you recorded. I assume you used two omnis. Even more interesting is the active participation of the organist. Since the organ loft is the worst place to enjoy good sound quality, M Isoir was able to hear how his...

    Best Piano Recordings

    I just listened to Zimerman's 2022 CD recording for DG of several Szymanowski pieces. Zimerman doesn't carry his personal piano on tour, but a keyboard modified to his liking. I seem to remember that it struck the strings in different places from a standard Steinweg. Most of the pieces were...

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    M. Kirkwood, I see that you are responsible for most of the CDs of Isoir's complete Bach. The CDs show recording dates from 1975 through 1991, a rather long time ago. I wonder if you would share your thoughts about the most successful recordings, those that more faithfully convey the acoustic...
