Like the guy above me stated, there's actually a lot of math involved with the different types of room modes that puts the best spot at 38% for your head. It doesn't matter if it's front or back, the symmetrical room will act the same way, either way. That picture shows the general idea as...

I'm chewing my way through Final Fantasy 7 on emulator after a good 20 years of having played it. I actually did #1, #2, #3 again too. Jumping up to Playstation level from NES and SNES has been an interesting paradigm switch.

Pat Metheny Group - Full Circle That's my go-to track, but I have a handful of albums I'll use as reference points. Nickel Creek's self-titled album is great, Owl City's Ocean Eyes is good. John Mayer's Battle Studies. Jon Anderson - Change We Must. Of course, Steely Dan's Gaucho.

I have an Adam Audio Sub-12 for my entertainment system but wanted a cheaper smaller subwoofer for the office where I spend most of my day working, playing games, and even watching some HBO Now. I couldn't justify dropping another two grand on a sub (I was pleased to see they recommend the...

What happens is an extreme case of diminishing returns, especially in the audiophile world. I'm more than happy with $99 set of Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's as I was listening to a $350 set of cans, all properly powered by an amp through a solid converter. The expensive ones might have sounded a...

I bought a set of Status Audio CB-1 headphones. They run at $79 and have a lot more bass than I was used to with my previous Sennheiser HD280 Pro's at $99. The Sennheiser's are more for critical listening and needing a flatter frequency response. The Status Audio's are way more pleasurable...

I recently bought a pair of Adam Audio A7 studio monitors (I prefer flat frequency listening over the more exciting smiley face EQ responses of consumer speakers), and to treat myself and make them a little more fun I picked up a Monicon passive monitor controller which just puts a huge volume...

The conundrum is that we want to read consumer measurements because we might be skeptical of the manufacturer's claims. But the manufacturer's are performing their measurements in anechoic chambers that basically suck all reflections out of the room and scatter anything left over to where it...
