Thread: Room friendly speakers

Jerry,

You are a great son, and she's lucky to have you. Enjoy every moment and try not to leave things unsaid. Thank you for sharing.

For everyone else, tell your family and friends how much you love them.

When you get down to it, they are all we have.

Joe, well said, like a pro.

When you come over next week, you will be amazed (I think) in how they sound sans Stillpoints and toed out a bit more.

Hey Mike, will you be at Howards for the SAS meet next weekend? Since I will be, don't make me self invite if you're having Jerry over at the same time.
Sorry, no Golden Ears, but I'd still like to hear your current setup (it changes faster than I can visit!).

As for "room friendly" loudspeakers, that's my Soundfield motto.

cheers,

AJ

I don't think I will be able to make it. I have a hockey game at 4:45pm, so I would have to leave about 3:30. Does it start at 1pm? Maybe....

As for listening, you're welcome over any time. Just give me a call. I think Jerry was planning on coming down some time this week. Maybe you can hitch a ride with him?

It starts at 2:00, but you're welcome to come at 1:00 for an early listen if it meshes better with your schedule.

Thanks Howard. I will check with Management (wife)

I'm a workin' man, so in the week is tough. Just figured with your turnover rate, my window of opportunities are limited
I read through the thread. I need to show you what my version of "room friendly" entails, before you go crazy and build a new room or do anything else.

Not surprised the Salon was possibly the easiest adapted. The down firing port was only a small part. The fact that Harman spends more on R&D alone that most "high end" companies combined, has something to do with that. Their research into speaker/room acoustics wrote the book so to speak. Especially for monopoles.
The Spatials you have on order should be a much better for fit that room.

cheers,

AJ

I agree with you about Harman, most companies don't have a fraction of their experience.

...and practice.
It's the difference between real room friendly:
