considerations

Hello again! As I'm sure you all know, loudspeaker placement can be of paramount importance when trying to optimize tonal balance, soundstage depth, imaging, clarity, etc. A great deal of thought, time, and effort was put in to positioning the components of our TARA Labs listening room. Some of...

Display your gear with minimal cable lengths or separate your gear in a closet and live with much longer cable lengths? These are two different approaches folks take and a lot of ad-hoc in between. The approach I have taken is to provision two a/v closets supporting three home theater...

Within a year and a half I want to break ground on a new home. I am currently starting a list of wants and requirements. I definitely want to have a nice theater in the basement and I was looking for a list of considerations for new builds. I have not seen a thread that looks at all these...

Hi guys. As far as i know this topic has not yet really been covered. I have noticed in other posts that many are using power amplifiers for each channel in surround and high powered pro amplifiers to drive LFE. Considering the level of current required by such devices i was wondering what...

I am about to embark on my next speaker project, 4 floor standing full range (55hz-20khz) HT speakers. I will be using the same driver complement I used in my center channel, namely 4 each 5" drivers, 3" drivers and 5/8" tweeters. My thought on how to build this is with 3 individual cabinets...

I think that the house curve for a full range application might have to be more subtle (using the DEQ2496) One consideration is that the amp will be asked to do a lot more than 80htz and below Another consideration is that I will equalizing only down to 40htz (maybe 3db down at 35htz) I'm...
