    Kef LS60 and Room correction?

    The LS60 has always been my end game speaker in my mind. Until I realised that it doesn't have PEQ lol. I currently have the WiiM Ultra, Fosi Audio V3 Monos, Kef R7 and the Kef KC62. Using the suggested EQ settings from REW to configure the 20 slots of PEQ in the WiiM was a complete game...

    Fosi Audio ZD3 $179 and Presale starts Sept 19

    It's a knobfest! Sorry! I'm interested to know whether people think there are any potential benefits in using this between the WiiM Ultra and the Fosi Audio V3 monos. XLR outputs and a ESS ES9039 Q2M instead of the ESS ES9038 Q2M DAC in the WiiM Ultra. Interestingly I googled the DAC...

    Why is REW not correcting these two big dips?

    @TurtlePaul - Further to the above, here are two new measurements with both the L + R and the sub on at the 75hz crossover. One is post eq and the other pre-eq (the WiiM allows you to toggle easily, which is nice). While nowhere near perfect, it looks better across the whole freq range. I've...

    Why is REW not correcting these two big dips?

    @TurtlePaul - Sorry, those eqs in the original post have changed. See the new ones. The R one has the 10db boost. However, it's inbetween two filters that are cutting dbs. So its it really boosting 10db? Because in reality that dip is actually only 6db from the target line. I don't really...

    Why is REW not correcting these two big dips?

    @TurtlePaul and @kemmler3D This is interesting to note. Can I check whether a 10db correction draws more power (i.e. x10 power) than doing no correction and just playing my speakers 10db louder? I'm assuming the 10db correction is better as it's only drawing x10 power at that particular...

    Why is REW not correcting these two big dips?

    Thanks for this. As per my other message, I'm limited in speaker placement. I'm not sure if I can do much about room treatment either as the speakers are too close to one back wall corner and the door blacks the other back corner.

    Why is REW not correcting these two big dips?

    I can't put the sub in a corner as the left speaker is already in one and the door is in the other. I have the sub right in front of the left speaker, 2 inches from the side wall and 3 feet from the back wall. I tried moving the sub just to test it and it weirdly does very little to that dip.

    Why is REW not correcting these two big dips?

    Yeah, unfortunately, I'm really limited in my speaker positioning. I'm in a small room and they have to be close to the back wall. You could say that the Kef R7s definitely shouldn't be close to the back wall but the dip also exists with the LS50 Metas and they are far more friendly close to...

    Why is REW not correcting these two big dips?

    Yeah I tried that but it didn't work. That dip exists even without the subwoofer. I've taken measurements with the Kef R7s and the Kef LS50 Metas without a sub and both show that dip.

    Why is REW not correcting these two big dips?

    Thanks for this. Are you suggesting that I leave it as is? I did increase the max boost and individual boost to 10db and it does create an eq filter for it by boosting it 10db at 82hz. Out of interest, that dip at 82 hz occurs no matter whether whether I'm using speakers on their own or with...

    Why is REW not correcting these two big dips?

    Hi all, I've produced the created some EQ filters for both my left and right speakers (on both occasions I had the sub on as well so happy to discuss if I'm doing that wrong) but for some reason it's not correcting a couple of really big dips in my right speaker. Why is that when it does...

    First go at room measurements using UMIK-1 and REW

    Hi all, I'm not sure whether bumping this thread is a good idea or just to start a new one but I'll start here. It's been six months since I started (but failed to finish) this thread. I paused because I was thinking of a change to my set up and since then I've changed nearly everything...

    Fosi v3 Mono - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

    Question from a real novice here. What are the gain settings of 25db and 31db for? They are set to 31db by default. What would be the various reasons for changing them and should I play around with them to see how they impact my set up? I'm using a WiiM Pro Plus that feed a Kef KC62 sub that...

    Fosi v3 Mono - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

    Thanks for your responses @Rafaille and @antcollinet - Interestingly I swapped over the left and right channel RCA cables in to the Fosi's last night and the auto on/stand by is working much better so far today. There hasn't been any ghost signals that have triggered either amps to come on...

    Fosi v3 Mono - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

    I'm in a fairly small room so the cable lengths aren't too bad. I think they are 2m RCAs from the WiiM to the sub and 2m RCAs from the sub to the Fosi's. Is that likely to cause issues?

    Fosi v3 Mono - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

    When you say a huge amount of power in stand by is it really? They are hot to touch when on but almost cool to touch in stand by. To be honest, I don't really care about the power usage. I wanted them to be cool when not in use because I'm in a small room and during the summary months the...

    Fosi v3 Mono - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

    I get that it's not a big deal for everyone. But I wasn't suggesting that everyone return their amps. For me? I've not got CDs or Vinyl. Everyone situation/set up/environment is different. I work from home in a dedicated office and switch music on and off constantly through the day in...

    Fosi v3 Mono - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

    Ok. So the issue is not that one is hotter than the other. The issue is with the Auto On/Stand By (like many others here). I'm using a WiiM Pro Plus but feeding the signal to my Kef KC62 Sub and then using the Kef's high pass filter to feed the Fosi Audio V3 Mono's. I've not done full...

    Fosi v3 Mono - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

    I received mine today and got them hooked up straight away, set to auto. I ran them for about 30 mins but haven't since then (about 2 hours since). One of them is significantly hotter than the other one. I'm wondering whether the auto stand by has kicked in on one of them but not the other...

    Fosi Audio V3 Amplifier Review

    I see that the Kickstarter campaign will provide two options. One with a single power supply and one with two power supplies. I'm easily able to hide my power supplies so would there be any sonic benefit in getting two or should I stick with one? I don't play my music above 75db and I'm only...
