aubbrin570 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 No. Does this have to do with my pic being upside down? I gave it a solid 5 minutes and could not find how to edit the rotation so I sent it! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was in SoCal a year ago, and then Albuquerque and Asheville area. Missed getting Oregon with sick airlines staff, so ABQ was slotted in to see the ex FIL. The older gear was acquired in SoCal, the newer stuff was used out of Arizona and Switzerland. And there is only one deal of the Swiss gear here, and the new stuff is a bit out of my price range.

That's Holm's fault too for being in Australia. I can't figure out photo's most of the time, so I rarely post them, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratocaster Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 The first time I saw the picture I thought that now there was a new fad of hanging speakers from the ceiling for better acoustics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmz Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I usually start using the iPad like a steering wheel but the picture snaps back. At point i look at upside down;ish. Like Cal Worthington would say in his commercials…, “I’ll stand upon my head until my ears are turning red.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget to mark the spot where the speakers are sounding the best. If you get the itch to see if there’s any more improvement that can be extracted out of your system you will be soon moving them and at that time the only thing that can can save your sanity is the painters tape that marks the position that made you smile in the first place… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok - so what happened to garner the love? Is it break in? Placement? getting used to a less bright speaker? other? 9 hours ago, ghamilton said: I'm not rich! You’re likely rich enough, if your system is bringing enjoyment. And if you had millions invested, and still did not find something that gave you joy, then … (LTR) And one usually does not get richer changing speakers at the frequency of changing socks and undergarments.

ghamilton Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 I am trying to take care of other things in my life right now. Sorry that I haven't been more informative. After moving the peakers around (when I get time to listen) they sound good me now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stringreen Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 My system has been in place for years.....did everything I could think of to bring out all that it was capable. Many years ago when I was in the business of making and selling cables, I thought that 2 blocks of plastic that I used in the manufacturing process would be beneficial somehow somewhere. I found that placed on the floor between my 5A's, brought some added dimensionality to the sound. ...so there they sat for years. Today, I accidentally shoved the left one about 3 inches to the left, and wow, the depth and width increased greatly. I am writing this to say that there is no ending to the tinkering....just assiduously pursue that tinkering and realize that sometimes it is elusive, but sometimes you'll be rewarded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reedman Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 On a tangent, the wind ensemble I play in at the request of a guest conductor rearranged instrument placement, putting the clarinets opposite most of the rest of the reed players. With the low brass behind us the clarinets could be heard clearly from our chairs but in the recorded performance on a stage we had never used before the clarinets were almost nonexistent because the rest of the reed instruments could not hear us and we could not hear them. It’s hard to get the correct balance when you cannot hear all parts! I guess the moral of this story is that recording engineers are a vital piece of the final recorded product. Testing dynamic levels and balance are critical to achieving a quality recording. And that is what we need in order to tweak our audio systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
