After some deep diving, I pulled the trigger and treated my room (what was a double garage)

And for all the comments I have had about treating your room, and I always went nah…

Let’s just say I get it.

It’s not finished yet, the big cloud has to be attached to the ceiling then I will do some REW readings.

It takes a bit of getting used to at first, the room is now very quiet.

But the sound….wow. Literally feels like I have just put headphones on.

Like I say. I get it. 👍

Meant to say All done by George at Homeward Sound, for literally half the price of GIK. And he was a true pro.

Klipsch La Scala AL5s paired with four SVS SB-3000s. La Scalas currently (and hopefully temporarily) powered by a Yamaha Aventage RX-A8A, which I already know is more than likely not doing the La Scalas full justice, so open to alternative suggestions to consider from those with real-world experience on these. Music normally enjoyed is all over the place, no genre pigeonholing, and do enjoy true, concert-level, visceral volume at times. Room these are in is approximately 30'x40', with 12' ceilings, and fixed center listening position is 15' away.

Well All,

Still pretty new to this, but definitely enjoying the ride. Everything here is second hand

So i got those Nexo Ps10 with a Juson JTA100 Tube amp, nexo controller etc.. Sounding very nice. Problem is the Klipsch Subwoofer. There are frequencies that vanish when sitting on the sofa. In the corners of the room, theyre fully enabled. I guess somewhere from 65-90 it cancels insanely. I got a Behringer DCX and could do some EQ for the bass, i am also able to measure it in. But i dont actually want to do that much with an EQ. How could i fix that by positioning the sub or putting panels on the wall? Someone got experience with that? Because of the depth of the Sub it may only be placed in corners... What do you think?

Just got my DMP-A8 gen2 and damn does this thing have a lot of options! I’m defiantly liking the DAC in this compared to the A6 I’m coming from. Also digging the bigger screen!

Hi all!

I know this isn't the typical post for this subreddit, but since you guys all know this gear inside and out, I figured you might appreciate seeing a digital recreation of it — and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I've spent the last week creating a 3D asset of the Pioneer PL112D turntable for my portfolio, trying to get all the physical details right down to the wood veneer, brushed metal top plate, and tonearm mechanics.

Since many of you know these classic decks so well, I'd love to know if you spot any details that look off, or if anything is missing!

Looking to get this set up.

Wiring through the attic

Is this too much or too little?
Any other brands to consider?

Incredible. The lore about the mids and ATC is true. I don't mix or master, just listen to music and movies. These are end game and demoted the Genelec 8331s to home theater duty. I'm keeping the 8341s in the office calibrated with GLM and both 8341s and ATCs are using two Genelec 7370 subs with flat response down to 15 hz in my room. Ask me any questions for anyone who has been curious about either of these brands and what they sounds like. I don't have the best room but it's treated as good as it will get. less

I went down a rabbit hole today on quadrophonics. For reference I dont do much at work and spend most of my day on Wikipedia. I was reading the page for Bitches Brew and found out that there were quadrophonic releases for the album. I know that it was hard to decode the music into 4 channels at the time, but i was interested to see if anyone has tried one of these setups especially the older ones.

Im guessing its very similar to modern surround sound systems. Obviously it wouldnt be as good as a dolby atmos setup, but im wondering how much different it is. Quadrophonics are only 4 speakers and dolby atmos is at minimum 8. How much difference do those extra speakers make? Aside from adding a sub or two i cant imagine it makes that much of a difference.

I also saw there were quadrophonic radio stations, i wonder if anyone here has been around long enough to experience those.

Messy setup about to be solved 🫣

Those are Nexo PS10, combined with a Klipsch RP1000SW
