    Official Denon AVR-5805 Review Support Thread

    I have the new Audyssey firmware but my reference speakers are still being built. Thus the delay is all on me at this point and NOT Denon. I am hoping RBH will have my new speakers built by next month so I can continue forward with this testing. If it takes much longer than that, I will pull...

    GIK Acoustics 244 Sound Panel Review

    I do have a system in a relatively bad room which opens to my whole downstairs floor. I am using a Velodyne SMS-1 to bass manage my sub and reduce modal peaks in the primary listening area. Of course it does next to nothing for all other seats unfortunately, which is why I am going to be...

    GIK Acoustics 244 Sound Panel Review

    It is usually NOT possible to sit the listeners equadistant from all speakers. Don't you agree that time alignment in the processor takes care of this problem? As for spatial averaging in the primary listening positions to look for system pathologies, Do you apply any weighing to those...

    GIK Acoustics 244 Sound Panel Review

    Your "expert" clearly wasn't expert. Trying to fill cancellation holes will INEVITABLY lead to problems. That is one of the first thing real experts learn, from experience if not from theory. You Don't BOOST NULLS! And at low frequencies, where wavelengths are very long (about 22 feet at 50...

    freq response charts

    What measurement tool were you using? Did you have the exact same subwoofer and mic placement for each measurement? Moving a sub / mic even a few inches will affect your response.

    Even more sad when they dump $1000's on cables as a promised cure all for their sound problems :D

    GIK Acoustics 244 Sound Panel Review

    Glenn you should do some reading on this topic if you haven't already. I suggest some of the white papers on Harman's website and some of their contributions to AES. I never said there is no need to treat a room but the benefits of multiple subs for increased modal control over a wider...

    GIK Acoustics 244 Sound Panel Review

    You are incorrect about EQ or more relevantly used minimum phase PEQ’s NOT reducing ringing. Low-frequency room resonances behave as minimum-phase phenomena (Dr. Toole recently authored a paper on this that he submitted to AES). According to Dr. Toole, a parametric equalizer that matches...

    GIK Acoustics 244 Sound Panel Review

    Using multiple even # of subs (ie. 2 or 4) correctly positioned also works wonders in creating a wider and more consistent listening area of smooth bass response. This is a technique most competent installers are using today which is also championed by the likes of Dr. Toole from Harman, THX...

    HAA (Home Acoustics Alliance) is one of a select few organizations we endorse as authoritive experts in the field of acoustics. They offer training courses to dealers, installers and consumers in efforts to help improve system integration and education of sound acoustical principles.

    Benefit of one SMS-1 with three subs?

    Actually you will likely achieve better results EQing just one of the subs and running the others in Bypass. I don't recommend applying one global EQ to all 3 subs, especially since they are likely located at different path distances from the listening area. BTW, you are better off with 2 or...

    GIK Acoustics 244 Sound Panel Review

    That’s a rather bold and inaccurate assessment of Tony’s article, especially since he is such a noted Acoustician in the industry. Tony’s article is in fact correct. He is referring to panels mounted on a wall. Since in your application, you are mounting the panels diagonally across a...

    GIK Acoustics 244 Sound Panel Review

    They don't, at least NOT effectively or predictably. While corner traps will provide at least something, this is why you want to construct bass traps and resonators which are far more involving than a 4" panel if you are serious about room correction. More to follow on this later.

    Will you guys stop tourchering me :mad: It makes no sense that they would do a limited tour, particularly of the Lamb since it doesn't appeal to their mass audience, just mostly diehard fans. I think this is all still speculative and until I see tour dates, I won't get excited over it. In...

    Um, Mondo traps are 4" thick. Unless you are defying the laws of physics and/or putting the panels in the exact wave location to partly reduce the modal energy, I refer you back to Clint's post and reference to an article we did in post #76

    I can't read it since you have to pay to download which I refuse to do :rolleyes: However, looking at the website of that cable manufacturer makes me want to puke. I suppose there is a sucker born every minute and an exotic cable vendor willing to sell them a good snake oil story :p
