I am hearing the first sounds as I am writing. It took a few hours adjusting the system initially, from here on out it will be fine tuning. I am very happy with what I am getting. I have also installed fuuga cartridge and from the get go it sounds great :)

Getting the system to the side and having the diffuser on the front wall creates great depth and distinction in imaging.

I also like that the records are now behind me.

Did you build the diffuser yourself?? Agreed that it looks great.

Great space Kodomo, agreeing with all the comments here. I love the layout and the rich earthy exposed brick looks fantastic… lovely detailing throughout. Really a great bit of place making, well done.

@kodomo Congratulation on creating such beautiful understated listening room. It feels cozy and very inviting to be in. If there is a bathroom in there you probably wont go out of the room for days. I tend to like your moss front panel more than this expensive wood diffuser.

kind regards,
Tang

Yes Bill, those are my old speakers but it is an open system that I can adjust and even change parts of from time to time. Sometimes it is for improving this speaker sometimes as a test bed for speakers I am building commercially.

I have been mentoring someone on acoustics for a few years. I helped him with his room first and then he got interested so much that I explained all the core principles and showed him how and which programs to use for measuring, modeling rooms or designing these type of panels. He started building various panels as a side business and this is his gift to me.

@Tango Thanks, I also loved the moss and I miss it, but the sound has improved a lot with the diffuser. I am still looking for a way to integrate the moss to this room and I have a few crazy ideas. There is a bathroom, a shower, even a separate place to sit drink coffee, whisky or wine (waiting for my wine cooler) while washing records or reading books on music or art. I also have my studio being setup on this floor.

I wanted to go but previously when I had time the omicron wave started and by the time the travel restrictions eased and I was ready again the war started. It would be great to hear those horns in previous room or current

Yes, I also liked the moss. Will it grow on bricks?
You have done a truly fantastic beautiful job, Okan - thanks for sharing it with us.

Your Horn system is a system i would like to hear , good flat FR , great looking room
New room and adjustment is passively done to get more in line with Toole target fr and less of a flat fr. I like how it sounds now and as I measure I see that it does not deviate from the target for more than 2db's. No eq, no dsp...
