| About Me
Hi there,
I have been a member for a while and have not participated. I just recieved an email urging me to do so. Here goes:I am a professional sound guy. I work at large in the Reno Tahoe area mixing bands and lots of corporate events. I also have been working on some commercial installations and am pretty certain that is where my career is headed. I joined this forum mostly to play with Room EQ Wizard. I actually never really have gotten around to playing with it much. I own and use Smaart, which is a dual fft program that is very useful for tuning rooms, setting delay speakers etc. I am extremely opinionated about the subject of audio and acoustics. I do not watch television ever, and I rent a video about once a month. On the other hand I love music and listen to it constantly. I say two good solid wood speakers with a nice tube preamps or amplifier beats all. Surround processing is, in my opinion, the best way to make music unlistenable. I don't think cd's sound as good as vinyl, don't even ask me about mp3's, and I have a collection of 180 gram vinyl. Vinyl is the best format when properly mastered. Ok I take that back, 2 inch tape at 30 ips would be my opinion of the best format. My "Home Theater" consists of a pair of 26 year old Bang and Olefsun 4 way cabinets that I pulled the crossover out of. They are now quad amped using a bss crossover. I also replaced the lf driver, with a better one I ordered from EAW. These are powered by crest and crown. I know next to nothing about the products that are used in modern home theatres. Furthermore, if I can't control the gain structure at every step, I am going to hate it. On top of that, I like good old fashioned parametric equalisation, the british kind that totally colors the sound and has phase issues! To make a long story short, I am basically the last person on earth who should be allowed on a Home Theatre forum.
