Good point, Will try nearfield first since these are upstairs and weigh enough to make it unmotivating to take outside. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's been too long since posting. I just hardly spend time on a laptop anymore and life is busier than ever. The speakers were finished last year about December...the room has been coming together slowly since. I'm finally getting around to running some frequency sweeps to consider additional...

Yes I am planning on clear coat. Ended up going with a matte paint. 2 coats were sprayed on. I hope to sand and smooth tonight and tomorrow spray another two coats. Depending on the finish after 4 coats will dictate more paint or moving on to a matte clear coat. Some type of water based...

Plan for finishing: I used a roller and put 5 coats of primer on the speakers with sanding mixed in there, it was enough to build up the seems and imperfections. Some areas I have sanded back down to the wood using 220. My plan is to use a brush and reapply primer where wood is exposed...

Q adjusts the width of frequencies affected by the boost or attenuation in a parametric equalizer. The lower the Q is, the wider the effect will be across the audio spectrum centered on your frequency. A 0.5Q is a pretty wide adjustment so you are essentially boosting the entire spectrum of...

That is correct, each device or speaker would need an echo device and then assigned to a group. I have a group with 3 echo dots that works well without delay across the different locations in the home. The devices aren’t connected to additional equipment though so it’s not exactly a hifi...

The http://www.us.marantz.com:443/product/NR1200 Marantz NR1200 would suit your stereo needs and keep you in the Heos product line if you are still interested in that. I’m making a similar debate between MusicCast and Heos as I already own a Yamaha receiver and I’ll be setting up a stereo...

Congratulations to your brother. It’s always nice to see credit being given where credit is due. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was just researching the RX-V6A last night and the TSR-700 seems identical from what I can tell. https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/av_receivers_amps/tsr-700/index.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it’s the 6a equivalent with the preouts I’m buying one to be used as a stereo receiver in an active setup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm seriously considering the Yamaha WXC-50 as my pre-pro, run to the DSP from the preouts, then a couple of amps. I'm considering the Crown xls drivecore 2 amps, namely 1002 for mid/tweet, and 1502 for my subs. I've also considered a pair of Outlaw 2220s and then something like a Parasound...

I ran a 100 ft extension cord from an outside outlet...maybe it’s time I buy some lights. I have a Brad nailer so I’ve been using that on some of the joints but not all. I Brad nailed the baffle down on Saturday along with the glue. I’ve used wood putty on some defects already, I’ve never...

To summarize in case someone is jumping on this thread and hasn't read the prior posts. I'm building an active/passive 3 way speaker. Tweet and mid have a passive crossover already built. The crossover between the bass driver and mid will be active. This brings me to needing 4 channels of...

I’ve tried HTIB systems from Pioneer, Polk, and Onkyo and the bass has always been a weak point, among other things. It wasn’t until I bought an entry level subwoofer from Velodyne that I realized how much more you can get when you aren’t cramming every possible feature and claim in to a turn...

I think the only way to do this would be with dsp that has parametric EQ, which would require your own mic. I’m not familiar with soundeasy23 but if it can’t run frequency sweeps from an external mic then it is not the right software for you to be basing parametric EQ settings from. Basing a lot...

Do you have the tools, space for DIY builds? Have you ever built a loudspeaker before or have wood working skills? I ask the questions as a fellow DIYer wanting your first project to be a success and not biting off more than you can chew. If this is your first splash into woodworking and speaker...

I went with denim insulation and doubled it up to get about 1.5-2" of coverage when laying it down. It is easy to work with as well. I've got the bass modules assembled and glued...now on to the 2-way portion with angled cuts...I am hoping that my sketchup measurements hold strong. I was...

Love that the build went down in your living room. Strong work, that would never fly in my house.
