Paul's Systems...Before and After.

Re: BlueMcIntosh's Systems...Before and After.

The 9's and 11's really don't do much below 100hZ if anything!!......the 16's do but only having two of them won't get you much, you really need 8-10 if you want to make headway. Another thing to try is locating the gear and speakers to a different wall if you can and then try the ASC again. exhaust all options it will be worth it.

I know......but it sure seems like a bargain when we add up what we have invested in gear.
 
Re: BlueMcIntosh's Systems...Before and After.

Hey Paul,

I have 10 ASC traps along the front wall alone: 5x16" and 5x13" sitting on top of them, with another 6 floating around the room (1st and 2nd reflection points, rear corners). I haven't tried taking the traps out and listening without them, but with them I don't seem to have any large bass problems. Not perfect, but no problems either. I'm going to look at other treatments for the front wall (Vicoustics, RPG) and then look to bring some of the traps in the rear wall.

Like you said, YMMV.

On a side note, thanks for posting the Roxul stuff. My room is in the basement with a drop ceiling. You can easily hear music on the first floor when I crank it. Wonder if this would be better than pure fiberglass insulation.

Jeff, any experience or opinion on the Roxul stuff for the ceiling?

cheers

Roxol 'R' rating is advertised a bit better along with fire resistance but costs more and its a mess to work with. Fiber Glass insulation is cheaper, more ready available to the consumer, more itchy and it easier to work with. Both are good if installed correctly, Its a pick your poison thing really. if your leaking sound to the upper floors Insulation isn't really the proper material to use, it insulates not soundproofs.

Here are a few examples of different methods for soundproofing ceilings http://www.soundisolationcompany.com/solutions-products/soundproof-ceilings

Just remember when you soundproof your sealing the room from leaking sound, it remains in the room especially low freq......so more attention may be needed in other areas like walls, floors and more trapping. The key is to find balance.

Dont underestimate tweeter height listening position.

tweeters and mids are fully adjustable on Die Musik, one of the many plusses to these speakers.

Norman. Totally agree with you. Every little thing makes different Eh ? When I had an old chair I did try to sit higher and lower but didn't hear this much difference though.

Paul, its coming together...you will soon find Nirvana. I hope you can bear the ecstasy when you arrive! LoL
 
Re: BlueMcIntosh's Systems...Before and After.

Different materials (seat, chair, couch, ...), different acoustical properties, and different resulting listening sessions.

And true Dan, with 'The Musik' loudspeakers you can aim the essential part of the audio spectrum exactly where you want to be directed to. ...Same with Wilson Audio loudspeakers. :cool:

* Actually you can do that with any loudspeaker; all of them! ...Different size of spikes on the front and rear; tilting them downward or upward. ...And the same with small monitors.
