I'm going to be setting up a new living room home theatre and the speakers I'm hoping to get are the Pioneer SP-FS52 floor standing speakers. Since buying the smaller speakers (SP-BS22) with stands for the back surround is the same price as the towers, I will have 4 floor standing speakers in...

I went and checked out a bunch of new speakers and settled with the Paradigm Monitor 7 floor speakers and I wanted go with their Monitor 1 center speaker. The problem I have is the speaker is still a bit too big for my setup. I would need to mount my 59" Plasma on the wall or get a whole new tv...

I built a ported box for an old subwoofer I have laying around, for garage duty. The inside dimensions are 21.5" x 18.5" x 12". I stuck my head through the opening to see what it sounds like in there, and I heard a mix of mid and low standing waves. I stuck my phone inside with an RTA app...

I was just reviewing other sub designs and looking at slotted port sub boxes like my Velodyne and I was thinking of how people usually have to compromise between musical performance and home theater performance. So what if there was an easy way to switch between them with a way to change or even...

I am trying to optimize the sound in my family room. With my large subwoofer in the only WAF-friendly location, I found a large cancellation at around 40Hz in my listening position. I was able to compensate for this by integrating a second small sub next to the center channel and applying a...

In the copious measurements I made for the NeptuneEQ review I'm writing (should be up by the end of this week), I re-noticed an acoustics problem that I never did quite fix. I have standing waves at 30 Hz (axial) and 100 hz (horizontal). Now my listening position is not in the dead center of...

Hello All, Just signed up with the forum...actually just found this site! I have been an HT enthusiast for a few years and frequented most other sites and always happy to find another! I tried posting this same question on another site and got no replies so I figure I would try here... I...

I'm curious how a window behaves acoustically at the lower frequencies (say 200hz and lower)? I've been "allowed" to convert an upstairs room into a music/ht room. The room is basically a 14.5' x 17.5' foot rectangle box (8 foot ceiling) with the end behind the listening area containing a...
