Sorry it was PMICan you share the cost of the design, I spoke
Needless to say I didn’t hire him.
Hey! Far from completely finished.@Bugal1998 How is your room? Completely finished?
Here's my attempt at the colors you mentioned. It's really inexpensive lighting so color definition isn't great. And the blue looks more white or silver(ish) to the eye. Also includes the new seating (tags and all!).Something mixing silver and champagne would give it a classic look, orange and bronze could also be interesting.
I posted some measurements above, but the noise floor and distortion both seem to be below the mic's self-noise. With room/audio systems powered off, I hear no sound in the room, just the sound of my own ears ringing (have had tinnitus in silence for as long as I can remember).What is current room noise floor?
What are crossover frequencies?
Also would be interesting to see distortion measurement at LP with intended SPL. With such equipment you'll have some headphones' numbers.
Too bad you can't afford something really nice.Still stray wires and measurement mics in the room... Work in-progress.
Haha I could make it nicer, but when I have time I'd rather just listen!Too bad you can't afford something really nice.JK
Any thoughts yet on adding the multich capability?
As a huge surround advocate I can only dream about your room's possibilities
and the wonderful sound you haven't begone to mine yet.
Yup, I had the same concerns. These are the shortest backed chairs of the style that I could find, and fortunately my ears are both well above and away from the headrest when in my listening position.Sorry Bugal, but personally I don't like High Fidelity or Home Cinema listening chairs, when they are too high. It's certainly very good for taking a nap, but then the reflections so close to the ear have a definite negative impact on the perceived sound quality.
In particular, listening in these high armchairs harms the focusing of the musical sources.
That's really good to hear. You put a ton of money, sweat, and heart into that room build. I can only hopeI now have the best sound in the room since it's commissioning with excellent clarity, envelopment, liveliness, tonality, and focus.
The support is the perceptual result, which is all that matters; I'm afraid I can't share that beyond words. But I'll see about a picture.Your reasoning is good Bugal.
In order to support this one, the photo of a seat is missing... With a head on it.
Congratulations on the overall design of your installation.
Do you have a measurement of the RT 60 (or approaching) of your premises ?
Here ya go, pic attached. Top of my shoulders are just in line with or just a bit below the top of the chair back. Thought I might need to sit on an extra cushion--which puts the top of my shoulders above the seat back--for critical listening, but it's unnecessary... Maybe if I were a bit shorter.Your reasoning is good Bugal.

Thank you!Congratulations on the overall design of your installation.
That's about where it's at, give or take an inch or so. But honestly I don't hear much of difference even when I slouch.That said, I prefer to have the top of the seat at shoulder level.
I deliberately priorized the two channel experience over surround sound. I've experimented with a wide variety of rt60s, and early on thought I preferred a very dead and over-damped room for two-channel (~0.2 sec rt60), but now know I prefer a longer decay. I'm curious if I would enjoy an rt60 of 0.6 or 0.7 seconds even more, but doubt I'll ever test it properly.Am surprised by your RT 60 of 0.47, indeed the standards recommend an RT 60 of 0.2 for the 5.1.
For stereo, there are no precise rules, but I prefer an RT 60 of 0.2 as well.
Some avant-garde Studios (?) recommend a "dead" room with an RT 60 close to zero.
Having never heard music in such Studios I would have no opinion on this question.
