    March Audio Sointuva AWG Bookshelf Speaker Review by ERIN's Audio Corner

    For this listening position you are right: I could probably get away with DSP. Unfortunately, I have a few other listening positions with holes in the frequency response, and I need subs to fill in there.

    March Audio Sointuva AWG Bookshelf Speaker Review by ERIN's Audio Corner

    I assume you were referring to my plot above? Actually, yes it's that bad! One speaker is smack in the corner, because it's my living room, and I suffer from constraints. The big peak at 45 Hz is probably two coinciding modes. It's a bit hard to tell, because I have an L-shaped living room, and...

    March Audio Sointuva AWG Bookshelf Speaker Review by ERIN's Audio Corner

    FWIW, I can offer two REW sweeps measured at my main listening position. The blue (PMC, L+R) is the L+R curve of my previous speakers, PMC twenty5.24i (no comments, please :-)). The magenta (MA, L+R) is the L+R curve of my Sointuva AWGs. First of all, disregard everything below 200 Hz! I have...

    March Audio Sointuva AWG Bookshelf Speaker Review by ERIN's Audio Corner

    I guess the weight will vary depending on the type of wood in the cabinet. I just weighed one of my speakers on my bathroom scale. The number I got was 10.7 kg.

    March Audio Sointuva AWG Bookshelf Speaker Review by ERIN's Audio Corner

    According to Spinorama.org it’s 6.6 kg. Strangely enough, it doesn’t seem to be listed anywhere else.

    March Audio Sointuva AWG Bookshelf Speaker Review by ERIN's Audio Corner

    First of all they look great - I have the Tasmanian Blackwood finish. I haven’t had the time to sit down and listen properly yet, but first impressions are really good.

    March Audio Sointuva AWG Bookshelf Speaker Review by ERIN's Audio Corner

    I recently received a pair of Sointuva AWGs. They were shipped from March Audio 9-10 weeks after I placed the order (depending on how you count). Alan was a bit slow in answering my e-mails, but I got replies in the end. He stated late deliveries of a batch of Purifi drivers and delays from the...

    NAD M33 Streaming Amplifier Review

    Yes, could be something like that. I will start the rounds with unravelling this with NAD support, etc., but thought I’d start here. If anyone should have experience with IR repeaters, please share!

    NAD M33 Streaming Amplifier Review

    Did anyone try the IR IN input on the back of the M33 or other NAD units? I just bought a Russound IR repeater (similar to a Xantech, I believe), but I can’t get it to work. I tried to connect with both mono and stereo mini jack cables (3.5 mm). Here is a link to the repeater I’m talking about.

    Question about amplitude, frequency and energy in an audio signal

    Isn't it less, like the thread starter says? The way I read the equal-loudness contours is that a signal at 100 Hz with 70 dB SPL will sound equally loud as a 1000 Hz signal at 50 dB SPL (roughly). Is this interpretation wrong?

    Room modes

    Interesting thread! I have been thinking about filling in dips in the frequency response. I agree that this is something one should usually avoid. However, I speculate that this could work under some specific conditions: The null must be caused by the positioning of the speaker or sub - as...

    Dirac Live standalone for PC and Mac

    The file server at Dirac seems to be down (with changelogs and user guides). I have been trying to connect for several days now. Is it just me? @Flak do you know anything about this?
