Thanks for the kind words. I just wish someone more schooled than me could actually "see" what is going on and offer some advise as to direction from here. Unless the person is in the room, I feel that I won't be able to experience the full benefit of most suggestions.

Any reactions to The new Transformers movie audio portion?

Mine is

Any thoughts?

Here I have a question that I hope may be able to be answered by someone with a vast experience with measuring audio.

Here it goes.



Given that most of the DIY community is using readily available measuring gear that is possibly innaccurate to some degree or other, would it be better to take measures and post graphs as they are with no cal files and state the equipment used. That way, instead of seeing a "better" graph, we could see a graph that is probably "at least" what the listener is experiencing in the room.

I say this because, even though my graphs do not come close to the desired flat line output to 0 Hz, I really could not imagine my house or my ears being able to sustain a whole lot more down low. I have experienced chest compression, shortness of breath, eye blur and a host of other things since adding the new cabs. Had I not ever done any measures on my system, I would not be questioning anything. But since I did, I need to, at least, determine if my setup or procedures or equipment is at fault.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

At this point, I am running the mains and surrounds full with no HPF on them at all. LFE crossed at 120 Hz.

I like it a lot. I will definitely need someone more schooled than me to set this up so a different way in order for me to appreciate the change.

But, at this moment nothing is set in stone. It just happens to sound really nice to me the way it is.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Electrovoice top cabinets and JBL dual 2241 subs for the bottom. Dual
Electrovoice center and side surround- just applied- Klipsch Forte tops and JBL 2241 in a folded horn cab.

Rear surrounds are being planned out now, but, I think I might go with some Klipsch or put a set of EV's back there since I have them already with a sub to be announced. The center channel is going to have a new sub setup incorporated sooner or later. Just too many projects at the moment.

Hey Brandon,

The demo disk is fantastic. I particularly like the last scene with the drums. The Rush moments that are intertwined are just the icing on the cake. I like it!!!!!

Thanks again,

Robert

I like it regardless!! Been really crazy around here, so not a lot of time to watch many movies. Last night I watched The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor again and I found it quite pleasing. The bass throughout the movie is outstanding. I would recommend this movie for it's LFE content as well as the action scenes. My family enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

Hopefully, I will soon be able to show some progress on the upgrades, but there has been too many other problems that needed my immediate attention.

Just watched GI Joe again. That movie really has tons of LFE. The pulse gun is something else. The seats feel like they are about to levitate when the guns go off. I did not go all out, but I will try it soon. Anybody see the movie yet?

Been working on my rental for last 3 weeks. Needless to say, the tenant problem involved police- a lot of them, drugs, handcuffs, and a cavity search. I was loving that part. I just smiled internally as she was walked into the house for the tunnel probe. Anyway, llots of damage and tons of $ lost.
Tons of other stuff going on in all facets, but I am planning on some HT progress in the next few weeks. We will see.

Thanks,

Robert

Since Katrina, our city is in shambles. The economic downturn was just the icing on the cake. I had all that done, but the goofballs ended up not being who they said they were. Amazing!! False names and socials. The cars were even criminally obtained. I wonder how many apartments and houses I happen to be renting myself in my name with someone else living there. It seems that criminals are rampant in our city and it isn't getting better. Just the other day, 2 guys tried to take a neighbor's boat from under his carport with a car blocking the way. They were pulling it sideways and tore the boat passed the pillars holding the carport up. The neighbor saw them and they booked out. Not the first time he was robbed. I am getting fed up with it.

Thanks for the insight, I will definitely try again with the


Thanks,

Thanks, I will look into that.

OK!

Here is some new info. Although I have not made a change to the setup yet- still in the building phase, I did do a few experiments. Here it goes.

I listened to the Danley fireworks tonight and I had my meter in listening position. I was measuring 107dB on the meter and decided to move around the room as the track played. I was completely astounded that as I went to the front by the screen area, the meter was reading upwards to 122 dB with no change in the controls at all. Also, the floor felt like it was undulating beneath my feet and things that I placed on the stage area were being moved as the track got towards the end. All of this is going on in front of the room and it feels like being in a SPL car at full tilt.

My question is since the cabs are along the side walls, and that is going on in front and my listening position is slightly rearwards of the cabs, would moving them forward, push the effect I am experiencing in the front to the back at all. Or, is this just a trial and error situation?

The cabs are very difficult to move and I have very little choice in placement.
Compromise is definitely a neccessity, but I do have a little wiggle room. I defintely can't do complete corner loading, but I could possibly get something close. I could possibly get within 2 feet of the front wall and the cabs can be rotated up to 90 degrees in that position.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Robert
