I'm actually working on setting up what I want on the walls (such as a Sgt. Pepper's blanket) before I run the EQ Wizard. Finally have streaming setup. Now it'll take some time to work on the room acoustics & moving things around the room. Just by listening I can hear that the room is too bright...
I'm currently working on it (while busy juggling other) & have been working on setting up streaming. I'm confident my best sound will come from setting up along the longer wall for near-field & am waiting on material to treat the room.
Sorry for not keeping up here folks. I've had a several attention needing matters, one of which was my trusty 'ol Krell KAV-300cd's transport went for the 2nd time in 8-9 years. That put a temporary halt to everything, while researching the subject of players, transports w/DAC's, etc. Ended up...
I agree with you Ron, coming from a purist's sense. I built a Heathkit EQ back in the very early 80's & it had very, very low distortion (THD) rate of like .005%. But I too agree with you about where is the signal passing & what adulteration is taking place. I tend to go with the 1st option...
Thanks again Powerman, the bulkhead is indeed filled with pink fluffy, as is the ceiling. The symetrical idea is great, but then I wonder about taking extra space from the bass to bloom?
Hello Powerman and thanks for your response. The bulkhead covers a 4" sewage drain & was the minimum size/space to cover it. I'll have to experiment with both set ups. I had quite a favorable near field setup in the old house, but the room was certainly too small which makes me look forward to...
Thanks Marty, I did get 4 'Perfect Plugs' outlets for my dedicated hardware circuit. 2 each for either far or near field. There will be seperate outlets with the lighting. I was truly looking forward to a decent size & shape room, but the bulkhead was unavoidable and in a far field listening...
Recently moved and having an audio room constructed in the basement, as no other room in the house afforded a closed door or a symetrical layout. The room is 24' x 16' x 8+' ceiling. However, there is a bulkhead which runs down one side of the room, which makes me think it's best to have my...
