Since I am showing moving videos ;)
Here is the 8802 and speakers just thrown up in what will become the listening loft. Needed music while we where finishing up the tiny house. First one needs no introduction. Second is a Navy buddy who has been making a living making music since he got out in 1990. Owns a decent local studio and is in a few bands, this band is Beaten back to Pure, this is just a short vid I txted him one night while moving in.


 
Heh.... well...

1. Don't have an account
2. Live in country and am on speeds just slightly faster than dialup
3. My personal phone.....wait for it....... is a flip-phone
4. My WORK phone is a smart phone and controlled by work.


Here's a picture when I was living/working in Florida. I'll let you hum a couple bars so everyone gets to use their favorite tune.

(see how I deftly tied bars back to you having been drinking?!?!!)

Disregard the "center". Someone said it would be cool if I posted a picture on the TV to make it look like I had three 402's across the front.

Hah ... that's awesome!

Oh hell yes GChief ....
 
This ones for you Tim, it might make you sick if your drinking thou. who can sit still with All Summer Long, Kid Rock.


I was dashing out the door and didn't have time to watch the whole video at the time. Just now caught up, dude ... you seriously cracked me up three quarters into that video. I totally was laughing out loud, you rock!
 
Ok, I’ll play. But please promise not to laugh, and know that the rest of the house is clean and tidy.





I’ve got so much crap, that I’ve started hanging it from the ceiling...



Camera tilted and dizzy tour:


One more:

IIIIII love it! (huge smile on my face).

I just got told last week, (while sick mind you) ... that I was given the ultimatum .... finish my room or "else" .... I have no Idea what "else" means. I'm tempted to push this just to find out as I'm curious. I've never seen "else" in my house. I wonder?
 
This one is fairly recent. Was still tweaking the space, actually still am. While I have them mostly tamed down I think I still need to look for replacements for my KG4’s in my “near field” environment :dunno:. Although in person the soundstage is great now.

Edit: oh yeah, bypassed (not even wired) tone controls and no EQ ;)

A little BTO

So, from what I can tell, this is a kit you construct yourself?? All I know is that even with a cellphone mic, that sounds pretty good!!

Thanks everyone, keep 'em coming!!

Can be built from plans, kit, or turnkey. Mine are turnkey as I didn’t have time to do a nice finish on a kit and they were originally for my office - far more convenient to have them shipped directly there. Bummer the construction quality wasn’t nearly worth the price, but nothing I couldn’t fix.

The big room, when completed, gets my LX521.4.
 
I wasn't invited, but I'll ask questions and post. The is my first attempt at video of anything with the phone and uploading to youtube direct from phone (shot it loaded it). How do you get bass in a recording, is it just my crappy phone ? Excuse the heavy breathing and darkness, bear in a cave I guess (yard work kills me)

 
EQ it in or stop EQing it out of your room:rolleyes:

:DSorry I had to hit you with that one, and you know I did:rflmao:

Not all phones or devises records the same, what phone do you have?

It's there, eq'd and all.

Cheapo LG Aristo 2. Looking at it today, looks like the mics are top and bottom. Experiment time I guess.
 
Mine never sound close to what they do in person :dunno:. They are all from various iPhones. But I don’t do anything but turn on the camera and mash record.

Yeah well Tim wanted vids to pan around and show off the space and equipment. If one does this with a phone/mic attached to the camera they will not be getting the best sound because you / the mic is not in the sweet spot.

But with a phone recording without editing we can most the time hear what's going on in the room more than just our ears tell us. Similar to using DTS audio equalizer and reading the room with a microphone to make adjustments.

Check this vid out, the best I can figure I ended up recording in a bass mode. I was just testing these JBLs in front of my system and put the phone on a tripod in front of my seating and walked away. Check out how wavy the recording is so either it was shaking the tripod or the floor in that area


Hear is the same setup and recorded the same day, the only difference is the record and a digital CD, but far more bass in the record I feel.

JUST TO BE CLEAR, EVERYONE IS INVITED!!!! :beerchug:

I had been enjoying the wine all day (don't usually do that) and it was a challenge to see how many names I could recollect from memory. Beatnik, you're always invited!!

That goes for any AK'er I forgot. :bigok:


Also, this is less to do with fidelity, and more to do with fraternity.
So, don't sweat bad sound, bass nodes, any of that ****. I just like seeing the various setups, homes, and how we all kinda have a theme. I especially liked learning about JP's setup. I'll have to build me some of those one day, they look super cool.
