Non-parallel walls reduce flutter echo which is audible on higher frequencies than the room modes.Non-parallel walls are much better since main room modes can’t build up.

I’ve never seen a square one!Why are recording studios mostly square then rather than trapezoid, kite, or generally irregular? Why they arent commonly built on top floors with slanting ceilings etc?
They're not - at least, ones with some design in them aren't.Why are recording studios mostly square then rather than trapezoid, kite, or generally irregular? Why they arent commonly built on top floors with slanting ceilings etc?
They are not, their control room are certainly never square. It is the worst shape for acoustics. You may want to check what you are saying to be valid before stating it as a fact.Why are recording studios mostly square then rather than trapezoid, kite, or generally irregular?

I think they are called bedroom studios, not "recording" studios?You mean amateur home studios or custom designed professional studios?
ROFL my idea of a "bedroom studio" is just going to get us all in trouble so I'll stop hereI think they are called bedroom studios, not "recording" studios?
I was just thinking this through. The sound of waves breaking on a beach, there'd be quite a lot of low frequency in that, and he's talking about being able to identify human voices & dog barking which is higher up the frequency range. Now if you were going to be trying to identify such extraneous noise as those two examples, then you'd want to be focussing on those higher frequency ranges (not the bass), so wouldn't you just use a Low Shelf EQ or High Pass EQ to reduce the presence of the bass so that the other frequencies weren't as masked - and then you'd more easily identify those extraneous noises to remove. I have no experience in music/sound creation, so I don't know if people in the industry would do it this way, I'm just thinking it through.Pretty impressive

So how are they?Just purchased it's smaller brother, the 8341B's in white. All based on the detailed analysis on here.
Can't wait to receive them!
I hate you. Kidding, I lust.Just installed these today and boy, they are amazing. I'm grinning like the time when I first heard good headphones, just now it's about soundstage rather than details. I mean incredible detail is still there, I'm just used to it, having listened to good headphones for years. But the soundstage! No headphone can dream of creating such realistic image.

Set them up in my home office. GLM calibration was quick and eliminated boominess of bass, although I still hear a bunch of reflections. Having read the GRADE report (generated in mere minutes, wow), it's time to treat the room.
I originally got 8331s and decided to upgrade right away. Sound is basically the same, the only difference is that 8351 extends lower into bass, so I don't need a sub…yet.
Do you feel the soundstage is wide and deep or more focused?Just installed these today and boy, they are amazing.

Ive sold quite of bit of used electronics and one big regret was selling a pair of Genelecs i bought. Should have kept them. 8030a's i believe.Just installed these today and boy, they are amazing.

Obviously, the table is presenting lots of reflections, how do you plan to treat it? Giant mousepads? I have 3x 8351 about six inches off the ground in L/C/R and even with carpeting, reflections show up (in a significant way) on the GRADE report. placing thick wool carpeting didn't help much and ultimately, looks like I'd have to raise them further off the ground.Just installed these today and boy, they are amazing.
