It's just a study sized room in a normal house, not a studio or anything fancy. 2 walls are mainly glass and 2 walls are mainly plaster with hardwood floors.

I saw this table that makes me think an a=0.7 should be good. But are you saying that the original testing method is artificially inflating the number? Acoustic Treatments – Acoustical Coefficients Cellulose Fibers (1″) 0.75 Polyurethane Foam 0.3 Semi Rigid Fiberglass (1″) 0.75 Cork...

I am considering some room treatment mainly for the purpose of reducing reverb. This product has provided a testing report and sound absorption coefficients but I don't understand enough to know if they are good or ok. Can someone please explain or point me in the right direction to learn what...

So thinking about the more.... It's less likely in movies. But much more common in podcasts, radio broadcasts, youtube clips which are narrated etc... So based on asnwers in this thread there's likely nothing wrong with my setup, it's just the way the world works for some reason.

Yes, listening near field. Slighty better performance from further away. Does that point to room or speakers?

I'm using a piar of Kanto YU6 with PC as source over an optical cable. Using an EQ set up that I found here here. Not tuned to my room at all.

I don't know if it's just my ears that are sensitive to this range but when listening to mainly male voices no matter where or what system I am hearing them through, there is often a boominess that comes along with it. Almost muffled even. This is most noticable in spoken voices like in...

I'm learning about EQ adjustments at the moment and have found several sources that seem to provide a decent starting point but I don't completely understand how they came up with their values or if a different balance suits different purposes? Is room correction different? Or maybe it doesn't...

The slim sub is a really cool form factor that I didn't know existed. But I've never heard them mentioned so I assumed they sound bad and make audiophiles sad. Maybe I should start a slim sub thread?

Neumann KH80 are $1460. So about three times the Audioengine. Probably a bit of a reach. I'm not even certain I'm the type of person who could really appreciate the KH80.

Has anyone noticed this difference in frequency response?

Where did you get this? I like it.

Polk S15, 50Hz frequency, many complaints of poor bass IK Multimedia iLoud MTM, 50Hz frequency, universal praise Are there any numbers I can read to understand the differences here? I understand they are different products but is bass not bass?

That list was not necessarily my top top. I think they were just sorted by the depth dimension at that time. I'll put the rest of it below, you might see something you like but haven't thought of. That Jamo speaker/sub combo is new. I don't think it will reach the level of quality I'm looking...

I actually contacted Vanatoo about it and got a nice explanation from Gary... Thanks for your interest in Vanatoo products. Our lineup is currently only certified with regulatory agencies for sale in the US and Canada, which is required due to the speakers being powered. Since we are not...

That's a great suggestion but there is a notorious hissing tweeter that would drive me mad

I would prefer not. I don't have anywhere to really put one. I wasn't going to say anything because I thought I might upset people too much but the form factor of this thing looks really interesting to me. It's the Jamo S 808 Subwoofer. I haven't looked past the product page yet.

Are those iLoud monitor even legal the way they are supposed to reach down to 50Hz? They only have 2x3.5" woofers! I thought there was no way to break the laws of physics, but here we are.

Yeah, Genelec are a bit frumpy and that plastic finish doesn't scream premium. The TUKs are $1495 a pair here.

I think you're right. They're great suggestions though. They look great, excellent value and have a very low frequency response.
