Why not straight piano music?

Used La Scala's

not going to buy your speaker grandpa

>Folded horn subwoofer
>Lowest rated spec is 45Hz

Used Forte

kh120

45Hz is too high, but a lot of folded horns go to like 35Hz with lots of output which is plenty for most music and I'd actually argue it's plenty for movies too. People usually say for movies that you need to get to 20Hz but I never found that last 15Hz to be that big of a deal.

That said, most rooms you can get a pair of SVS subs and get sub 20Hz bass for very reasonable price. You only need big ol horns in giant rooms.

Ozone 7 > Pro-MB

>35Hz is acceptable for movies

I couldn't possibly disagree more

How much do you think I can milk some dumb audiophile for this thing

50 peso

How much is that in white people money

5 buck

What is the best, preferably a second hand(so I can get better bang for my buck) subwoofer to use with my hd6xx?

How you are going to match any sub to your headphones without measuring?

Need to record your piano, thats even more complicated than recording voice.

Measure what, I don't think there would be any difference.

Tbh it depends so much on your room that these statements dont make any sense without that context.

Measure crossover point to make it flat without any bump. And why you want to use sub with headphones, it kinda defeats the point of headphones - listening to music without annoying anybody and needing to bother with room acoustics.

>And why you want to use sub with headphones
Because quality headphones are cheaper but they lack bass.

Just buy headphones that dont lack bass then?

Are you pretending to be retarded?

Just want to do a good deed, by talking you from doing stupid things. Subwoofers are the most expensive things to make in audio industry, btw, subwoofer cannot be cheap and good. If you want bass in headphones then just buy headphones that can reproduce it. Oh and you will sure enjoy matching phase in your headphones and sub.

That's pretty retarded
Any reasons as to why?
Maybe only sinewaves instead of actual recorded audio?

Are USB DACs snake oil? Are there any blind tests etc proving that they aren't?

Just dont buy USB powered ones, you want ones with external power.

Heard a lot of praise for a chink company Soundmagic. Was recommended the e80. Anyone have experience with those?

Old pic of the setup (it's 5.1 now with an fp14000 clone / xmc1 / xpa 5ch)... Moved the sub to a friend's house but in my apartment I can hit 12hz before the lf drop-off

that depends, does whitey know which type of peso is it?

Avaerage response across the couch. On axis upper roll off is around 19.5khz with an f3 just a hair about 20khz

Show waterfall graph.

I lost a lot of my old photos a while back. It had some pretty big decay issues down low since I don't have any wall treatments. I'm looking to move soon and don't want to fab anything that might not fit the new space. I don't remember the exact numbers but the echoing tightened up after about 90hz. Shag carpet, the couch, and the layout of the room helped a lot from the old layout.

General plan is some 18x36x3 inch oc703 panels. Would like to do two on each wall. Some 1' oc705 corner traps, and a 4" oc705 panel on the rest wall (something large like 4x6') or a large diffuser... Again, just plans cause new space requires modeling :)

Here's the new layout

Thank you.

Because you use your brain when listening to sound and your brain is good at analyzing voices.

Next month.you guys are acting like thats the only method alan shaw uses to voice his speakers. in fact its a quote from two decades ago shared in a conversation that john atkinson decided to quote years later in the wrong context in a review of the m40.1 speakers. alan shaw actually uses the most up to date computer technology to develop his speakers nowadays. not that theres anything wrong with using the human voice to help fine tune your speakers. the actual quote was that he used recording of his daughter speaking to help tune some of his speakers.

Well, if you are going to use speakers for listening to voices thats great, but usually they are used for music, which sometimes have a very different character than voice.

Wtf is wrong with your taste? Why does the AVR have blue lights around each button? Why is the center in skin color? Why is the carpet green-blue? How can you live with yourself?

AS contributes regularly on their forum. From reading his posts I do not get the impression his focus on accurate voice reproduction is just a random thing he once said decades ago.

If accuracy is the goal listening to spoken word gives your brain a signal that it is eminently able to process. Therefore you will be able to discern smaller deviations (flaws in the reproduction) than when listening to music.

Accuracy of spoken word - yes. Accuracy of all music - no. Can you provide graphs that show that the signal from voice and, for example, kick drum or cymbals is the same in dynamics?

Most of the time in speech recordings (e.g. podcasts, radio broadcast) you actually have really low bitrates of compression because the speech signal only uses a small fraction of the whole auditive spectrum (the brain still considers the signal close to lossless even though it has been compressed into 128kbps MP3, just like 320kbps MP3 music compares to FLAC).
So I'm calling bullshit squared right here.

daily reminder if you use anything other than soundmagic e10c you're a mug
