  1. Home Theater Design and Construction
    Hello everyone! My wife thinks I'm nuts, lets hear what the forum has to say!>:) I'm getting ready to finish our basement (approx 670 Sq.ft) and will be turning it in to a multi use room (I know, I know but I have kids and a wife to answer to so no dedicated theater space unfortunately). What...
  2. System Setup and Connection
    I just moved into a new house with four built in speakers. 2 in the front wall and 2 in the ceiling behind the couch. I imagine these are setup for some sort of surround sound system. I'm not looking for anything fancy, I'd be fine with a mono channel setup as long as I could get sound coming...
  3. System Setup and Connection
    Until now i have been using only 2 speakers and a sub, that was set up using the subwoofer crossover (reviever -> sub -> frontspeakers), but i just got some new speakers that i want to use in a surround, so that i can get the full experience when watching movies with 5.1 tracks. I thought it...
  4. Home Theater Projectors
    Just bought a home and not really too experienced with projector screens (have a 65 inch flat screen in home now) Best Buy Magnolia came over today to take a look and they did not recommend it due to the fact the ceilings were so low but recommended an 80 inch TV. Reason being is that if...
  5. System Setup and Connection
    Going with a 75" Samsung LED, 1080p. The 63 fit perfectly and going with a bigger screen I am going to have to have a mount that will allow me to move it out to access the attic door. The shelf you see was built to house amplifiers and to provide a resting spot for the TV, as I had the Samsung...
  6. REW Forum
    Hi, I'm pretty satisfied with my adjustments to my setup following this thread here; however, I have a single dip at approx. 30 Hz I'm considering curing using the boost function in REW. I know that boosting is not considered an ideal solution since it'll lower my headroom, but will it really...

    Ive posted this elsewhere but I thought a few of the regulars here might be interested as well. Any thoughts on this idea?
  8. Home Audio Subwoofers
    My velodyne spl12 finally gave it up. it has been a good sub with good output but the driver went out. the 750 watt plate amp is still working fine. Anyway it is around 300.00 to replace the driver and i was wondering if there is another better driver out there optimized for a smaller...
  9. Home Audio Acoustics
    From what I hear the floor space is a very important area of treatment where diffusion works great on but unless it's dedicated space you cannot just have the floors lined with diffusion material so this is my work around. Ottomans! So... I'll build 2x2 2d style diffusors and will build an...

  11. Home Audio Acoustics
    Vid of Anthony Grimani on small room tuning Start at 1:02:00 I am trying to soak up as much info as I build my theater/listening space. I have never heard of this idea before and it seems very interesting. A member of the group notices the treatment layout is intentionally set up as...

  15. Home Audio Speakers
    What if we tried this? You would like to upgrade your main speakers, why not take them with you to your local retailer. Audition the speakers you would like to upgrade to, then ask to swap your speakers into the exact spot your new favorites occupied. It eliminates room acoustics and system...
  16. Two Channel Audio
    I see cable lifters and spikes and a variety of other tweaks on the market and they are always priced well above what they should be in my opinion. In addition to that, only half of the audiophile crowd is even interested in purchasing them. I believe this is because they are marketed poorly...
  17. DIY Speakers
    Hello All, I'm relatively new to the forum and had some ideas for making "relatively" inexpensive fully active speakers. I've been trying to find either software of hardware that would allow me to have a full digital 4 way crossover, time alignment and equalization. Has anyone tried using...

    Hello everyone. I'm really glad I found this forum. I feel like I'm among giants and I hope that as I get more knowledgeable (because of this forum) and experienced that someday I might have something valuable to contribute. I do have an idea for something that might be helpful for other...
