    I think i found my ringing problem. Do you think it's my oil heater? Anything I can place on the panels?

    I think i just found my 80hz and below ringing issue!! Do you guys think it could be this metal oil heater that's leaving these long trails and increasing my RT60 times? I've had it ring as long as 1 second in RT60 times before. Anything I can put on this thing to keep it from ringing like...

    First Martin Logan Speaker?!?! Which one

    There are so many models I don't know where to start. I would like to try a cheaper model to hear what they sound like in my room. Is there a good inexpensive model to get an idea of the flavor of sound? I'll probably EQ and I'll be crossing to subs at 80hz so don't need one that can (don't...

    What kind of measurements do AVR's take?

    I'm getting vastly different measurements from my AVR than I get with my Umik and REW. What gives? The AVR shows the raw LR measurements as tilted nicely down while my moving mic measurement or even regular sweep shows the rising treble. Why are the measurements so different? What kind of...

    Adding a wall/door for reflection

    Ok maybe I'm crazy here but my setup sits in the right corner of an open room. I have a wall to the right but nothing to the left. I hear a wrap-around reflection from the right (which I like as it adds almost surrounding feeling) but nothing on the open left. Would it be weird to add a door...

    Making my own larger center channel out of my q100

    Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out how I can add a couple of 6" woofers to my q100 in a larger box in order to relieve the mid and gain more low-end extension into the 60hz region. Currently, with my speaker in the entertainment center under the tv, it poops out at 100hz and my subs don't...

    Crossover board layout not schematic design

    Hello everyone. I am a bit challenged when it comes to visualizing layouts. Is there software that can help with crossover layout on the board itself? Essentially a tool to help me lay the crossover out using the least amount of space and the easiest wiring possible. For examples I’d like to...

    Best way to construct crossover with tiny/short leads

    Hello Everyone, I think I have an issue with a crossover board. It's a fabricated board in which you solder the leads on the bottom of the board. I was having all kinds of issues and couldn't get the tweeter to behave. I pulled all the components off the board but now my leads are super...

    Apple Music on Apple TV controlled by iphone give you Atmos over HDMI???

Is it lossless (don't care that much about lossless as I've been happily streaming airplay lossy music for years). Just want that Atmos goodness. What kind of upmix am I getting...

    Software that will let me build a three sided wedge box? Lots of free software for enclosures but none I've seen that you build a wedge.

    Been looking for software to help me calculate a cut list in order to build a 3 sided wedge box. My geometry and math skills aren't great and I haven't used that part of my brain in decades. Essentially I'm wanting to build my own atmos enclosures that will sit in the front corners of the...

    Help with my room and ringing (is this ringing????)

    lease Help. Issues at 60hz, 80hz, 100hz, 120hz, 160hz, 220hz and 240hz. These are all time-domain issues (I think) as I've eq'd a decent frequency response. Still hearing a bloom to male vocals I don't like at all in dialog for movies and shows. My waterfall measurements is at 3:20 Here are...

    Thoughts on whether coaxial designs make a larger difference in timing in nearfield environments?

    Do you think there would be larger advantages using coaxial designs in nearfield as the time alignment of drivers would seem to be more exaggerated with the tweeter above or below the woofer in such close proximity to the listener?

    Q100 speaker as surround in sealed small enclosure

    Hello Everyone, I have two pair of KEF q100's I got for super cheap. They sound great for my surrounds but even better when I plugged the ports. I was wondering for home theater if I could make some pretty tiny sealed boxes to be able to place these tiny things just about anywhere. Looking...

    Toe-in, sounds stage, center image and dialog definition

    Even though I have the curve I want and the desired amplitude at the desired frequency is it possible I'm getting "smearing" by achieving that amplitude by reflected sound vs direct sound? Could this change the intelligibility of dialogue etc? Hello everyone. I have a pair of RP600m's with GR...

    Looking for driver and enclosure kit with extreme wide dispersion.

    Hi everyone. I'm pretty happy with my GR research RP600m's with mini dsp for fine tuning at listening position and also dual 18's to shore up the low end at 80hz and below. I'm looking for a kit to build a super wide dispersion speaker to compare to the Klipsch. I'd like to keep costs down...
