    Am I crazy for abandoning Room EQ?

    Contact Adam Pelz. [email protected]. He is the MAIN man - with a stellar reputation. At the moment, he is out of the country so his response may be a bit slower than usual.

    Am I crazy for abandoning Room EQ?

    Actually the very first digital room correction product was being deployed in the early 90's - about 30 years ago. It wasn't successful long term because it was developed prior to the existence of powerful PC's so each unit was loaded with lots of very expensive Motorola DSP chips. And it had...

    How many subs are you using and how big are they?

    A 50" sub would be impractical for the vast majority of installations - but sure would get a lot of attention. I use eight 18" Seaton F18's - two in each of the front two corners and 4 more along the back wall. No such thing as too much woofage!!

    What is your favorite house curve

    It is conservative. Given how easy it is to create new targets and implement them, I gave it a go but I had no expectations one way or the other how it would sound. I'm still evaluating but so far, so good. And you are right, the success (or lack of it) is a function of room size, treatment...

    What is your favorite house curve

    Just implemented this. Works great for music but may need some tuning for HT (This is the B&K curve in case you are wondering). While it looks steeper than it is, it is only about a 5dB drop from 50Hz to 20K Hz./ Depending on the high end of your speakers, that portion of the target may need...

    Which frequency produces "chest slam"?

    I have 8000 watts driving 8 Seaton F18's so I do not lack horsepower. I have PLENTY of chest slam .... but I want much more;) And I am not talking about energizing the room. I have that in spades and can have lots more just by tweaking the target curve. A scene that is good for evaluating...

    Which frequency produces "chest slam"?

    I have done all kinds of looking around on the internet to try and find which frequency (or frequencies) are those that create "chest slam" during music or movies. (Can't seem to find a consistent answer). I had always thought it was around 70Hz or so (as do, apparently lots of others based upon...

    Multichannel System for Music - Standards, Setup, Thoughts, etc.

    A summary of my diddling with AuroMatic: "Less is more". While increasing the "strength" slider was fun, when over done, it was very distracting. One genre that was greatly improved with this process (and maybe a tad more "strength") was most 70's rock music. A lot of it is overly dry and...

    Multichannel System for Music - Standards, Setup, Thoughts, etc.

    All of my ear level speakers have the same midrange and tweeter drivers. I have experimented with all kinds of ways to listen to my 2 channel music but using most of my available channels. Dolby (DSU) doesn't work nor does DTS:Neural-X. But a modified Auro does work (mostly). I first set all...

    BestBuy to stop selling CDs... Target may be next

    Physical discs are dying and that is one of many reasons Oppo is going to stop selling players (but will support their existing base). "Oh the times they are a changin' " Since I now subscribe to Tidal, I no longer purchase any kind of physical discs for music, nor do I pay for downloads. All...

    Streaming audio with room correction

    If one is not hung-up on great sound = many $$, then consider the Bluesound Node 2 ($499) for streaming or the Bluesound Vault 2 ($1199) for streaming and as a server. I wanted to add Tidal streaming to my system using the Node 2 but found the Vault 2 which also works as a server and I use...

    @amirm Thanks for posting that video on dog collars. Most certainly removed my misconceptions on how to use them and how they work .

    A Visit to Mike Lavigne's Home and Sound Galleries Media Server

    I have no real issue with someone spending a huge amount of money on audio gear. There is a guy near where we live who owns almost 300 restored autos of mostly the 50's, 60's and 70's. Probably worth $15 to $30 million and he most certainly does not drive them. It so happens to be his hobby...

    A Visit to Mike Lavigne's Home and Sound Galleries Media Server

    Reading Amir's review of Mike's system brought back another similar situation. I remember reading the rave reviews and ALL positive accolades of another mega high end system. Each person who visited wen out of their way to say great things about the experience. So while my wife and I were...

    Second generation Dirac Live Room EQ coming

    The Datasat RS20i does have a more flexible implementation of BM. In addition to the crossover point you can select slope (12 or 24 and yes or no on high-pass). Furthermore, and external to BM, you can apply high or low pass filters to any channel ( 6db/oct up to 48db/oct; with a choice of...

    Let's discuss room correction

    Wow. I was the Marketing for SigTech for 10 years. Owned 4 of them so I could correct 6 channels in my HT system and 2 in my 2 channel system. I, too, have used many of the same products (TacT, miniDSP, Dirac, etc) and would agree that Dirac is the best. I also agree that it is the "cherry on...
