    The Age Old Debate On AK. Spend Money On Speakers Or Spend Money On Upstream Electronics.

    I perhaps could amend what I wrote to say low frequencies are the devil in room acoustics because the higher and upper mids are easily treatable. Saying the room is "important" is broad and general, getting more specific; energizing your room with non-sympathetic bass waves can ruin your...

    The Age Old Debate On AK. Spend Money On Speakers Or Spend Money On Upstream Electronics.

    Fly in the ointment, I don't see anyone including subwoofers into the list of importance. Some have distinguished the digital verses analog sources, could we........should be start breaking down the frequency reproduction spectrum? Should we include subwoofers, and then if so, why not include...

    Adding a subwoofer and surround back speakers to a 2.0 system

    I see the successful pattern of keeping equipment and subwoofers in the space between the two main loudspeakers below ear level, and as open as allowable per real life constraints. My opinion; the space in-between the speakers is as important as any other clearance (R & L speaker locations off...

    An old thread of mine (see below) with articles, white papers, videos, diagrams and examples for single subwoofer placement. Link to old thread: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/two-channel-stereo-subwoofer-small-room.907002/ In that thread you can see not everyone has the same...

    Ever demo your system for others?

    I was going to say that it looks like a good room for headphones, but if you got it to work, the more power to you. They say an automobile is a terrible acoustic environment, but how many of us have enjoyed a good song while in the car? Anything can happen when it comes to psychoacoustics.
