Pics of your listening space

[vegabass25]

Some new additions: Sansui 7070 & Hsu Stf-2.

My av yamaha died the other day so using the Sansui temporarily. Have been selling off some of my other audio gear to put more into the HT/music room as we spend the majority of our time in there.

Also, I bought a new Belkin 8 outlet surge (3550j).

Nice :thmbsp:

I updated the speakers by about 14 years.

Interesting thread ... some great spaces!!!

This is my very small third floor listening room. I use Auralex 2" pyramid StudioFoam. I found the corner bass traps to be noticeably ineffective, so I have removed them.

Ken, the new stands look excellent in your system!

Here is my humble shrine to a few of the vintage greats.
TV, who needs it?
Timewindow 1A, TF-1000, JBL L112, Dahlquist Dq-10

Denny, those are the bases from a pair I already have. The "new" ones will be 6" higher.

Very nice group of speakers you have there!

All thanks to CL and my local Thrift.
(and to a few members for walking me through repairs)

Interesting room and lot's of potential, but I need to point out an issue with these absorbers.

From what I've read over the past month or so - and it's a lot but I'm nowhere an expert - these foam absorbers aren't doing anything good. They are absorbing some high frequencies and that's just that.

Your room has great potential. It has an angled roof in the correct orientation (low in the front, high in the back).

Only problem is that you have to sit against the back wall.

You seem to have enough absorbtion in the high frequencies with all those nice couches and enough diffraction coming from the shelves.

Look up info on bass traps and mineral wool panels. The corner bass traps need to have 4" of rigid mineral wool straddled against the corners. And you should also put them against the walls on first reflection points - where you now have the foams.

And it would help if you put one such panel on each of the two doors, maintaining a 3-4" distance from the door.

Most of the low frequency content radiates at 360 degrees, hits the side walls and bounces towards the listening chair and to the ceiling bouncing to the back wall.

Wow!! purdy systems guys :drool:

vintage greats indeed. Budgophile, how do the TF 1000's compare to the Dq-10's?

 

[budgophille]

It's hard to say, I guess it's sort of an apples and oranges thing. The Dq-10's being a 5 way, and very power hungry, and the Timeframes are 3 way, and more efficient. The Dahlquists are in need of new caps, and the Timframes have freshly replaced tweeters. I would say the Dahlquists have better soundstage and imaging, but for what the Timeframes are, they definitely hold their own. So, in somewhat of an open-ended conclusion, bang for the buck the Timeframes are hard to beat, but if you have plenty of power, a good sized room, and a little bit of time, I the the Dq-10's will be the most rewarding.:thmbsp:

The Dq-10's are a clear winner. I discovered yesterday that they fit perfectly in my front windows, so that ranks pretty high on the "piss the neighbors off factor." (all I was trying to do was drown out the Dionne Warwick that was blasting on their Theater Research speakers)

I love this thread, you have great setups guys

This is my main system, rest of gear is hidden here and there....
CD, pre and power amp together weigh 120 kg...

Looks great, Ken. If you only had some supertweeters to go with those BK's...

note: I sprayed another coat today but I'm still not happy with them

It is absolutely amazing how many members have killer systems with the speakers right against the wall or jammed in the corners and there seem to be a lot of speakers sitting on the floor. It should be against the law for women to be allowed to arrange furniture or have any input on it. (I am assuming this is why we're seeing this.) In 28 years of marriage I have learned that if you allow a woman to arrange the furniture in ANY room the very first thing they do is place a big piece of furniture in front of every electrical outlet in the room. It would be interesting to know if you are a single male when you post a photo of your set up. If you are married and you really want good sound you must place your system in a seperate detached building. Women CANNOT grasp the concept of high fidelity. I love my wife but if you try to tell her that the speakers need to be out in the room she gives you "the look." You guys know what I'm talking about.

There may be a few around here who would disagree with you, including one forum moderator.

I agree with you about the importance of speaker placement, though.

LOL! so true so true. My wife constantly tries to convince me to move my speakers to bizarre locations. its infuriating. I'm looking forward to the day we move into a place large enough for me to have my own "man cave" like so many of you lucky dogs on this forum.

maybe you need to grasp the thumb out of your ass i find it neither funny or true in your generalization and denigration of women
