You also run the risk of making the sound too dry with room treatment.

@@marcusaurelius2988 I would say that you are passed treatment at that point, and there's certainly some that's gone overboard as they didn't know what they were doing.

@@marcusaurelius2988 hardly and even if that's what diffusors are for - nobody needs ANY hard reflections in a listening room

@@marcusaurelius2988 thats why you concentrate first on the lowend and there you need mass in form of depth (30cm upwards) or resonators to save space. Its way easier to handle upper frequencies, the main goal is to select the correct place, amount & choice of Materials and have an balance between Absorption & Diffusion

​@@Harald_Reindl i use two hard reflection deliberately to make it sound as if my speakers are inside this wall instead of crammed together because of space/furniture constrictions. its a very backwards version of invisible speakers.

You will never be voted into the “Audiophile Hall of Fame” Shame on you for saving money making all the high rolling 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰Audiophile’s financially Eccentric people.

Low frequencies don't give a shit about this nonsense as they don't give about any foam and they don't live only in the corners

Would be really cool to see pictures!

The Acustica Applicata devices on the front wall are the DAAD 4, on the side walls the DAAD 3. They are still for sale.

In other words they are crap and miss the Fi in HiFi

Mismatched components can have a negative affect. No matter how much room treatment is used. Amplifier’s and speakers can and do have different sound signatures independently of each other as well as other components used in a system. If you have one component doing one thing and another trying to do something else, you can wind up with a conflict battle. 😀

Paul can use his iPhone for recording music from that system. The newer iPhone’s have great microphones for recording. That is what Paul uses, his iPhone, with all his videos he records @ 720 p video and the KZfaq audio codec MP4a 40.2. Don’t need a KZfaq Team.😀🙄

@@davidfromamerica1871 Agreed. I use an older Samsung Note 3 to record demos and post on KZfaq. I think it sounds surprisingly good. Today's iPhone must be great.

@@user-od9iz9cv1w Newer phone’s have very good microphone’s in them. There is a KZfaq FR30 demo uploaded to KZfaq Paul does not want any to know about.🙃🥺

No , spot lights

Don’t forget the Lava Lamps, Red Shag Rug, the hanging Beads and a poster of Janis Joplin hanging on the wall.😎

The moral of the story is: You better have a lot of disposable cash to throw around..😀🙄💰💰💰💰

@@davidfromamerica1871 moron other like expensive cables room acoustics is a game changer

People should understand. That demo room has dramatically altered the sound signature of that entire system in that demo room. That system will not sound the same in your house as it does in that demo room.

Imagine one don't understand that every speaker should have a subwoofer to offload anything below 60 Hz

Just like so much of pro audio shakes their head at Dennis.

Not when you have a brain and do it smart

It'll be their square one, or cube if you prefer

I believe it’s the Predator 1510 but I’m not 100%.

@@jayrev1254 I think you're probably right. The driver and feet aren't visible, but it has a square cabinet, so it's not the Reference Series. It has no glossy black finish on the sides like Serie S and T, nor side handles like Serie S. That only leaves Serie HT (home theater). Knowing Paul, he probably bought the top model.

listeners are audiophiles, otherwise they would not care about the audio.

The Chad music enjoyer vs The Virgin audiophile

The definition of an Audiophile. 😀 “The World Order” Similar to: “The Knights of the Round Table” 😀 The Kings protectors. 😀

I am not certain it was a "waste" because they are good rooms. Just not perfect.

Like anything built to taste you create, then you end up changing things from you base starting point and tweak till you are happy . Obviously you have not explored this in anything you have tried to do . Anyone that says there listing room is perfect is a space cadet and just does not understand the laws of physics with sound . Top notch concert venues put 1000's of hours into the labor and uncontrolled amount of money invested in equipment, if you ever had a chance to go to Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, you would never want to see a band perform anywhere else.

@@Paulmcgowanpsaudio nothing's perfect... but seeking it is fun.

It’s called.. “Acoustic Engineering” With a little online research I was able to find out what Acoustic Engineering company did the Acoustic work in the old NHK Hall Theater in Tokyo. That was one of the first things I noticed when watching a concert on KZfaq from that old theater about 12 years ago was the acoustic’s. NHK Hall is owned by NHK Broadcasting Corporation in Tokyo. For many years that was the home of the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. NHK now have a new Hall they built.

@@Paulmcgowanpsaudio Sorry if I was a bit harsh but it's not like all that treatment is cheap. All of that said the Aussie government spent an enormous amount of money on the Sydney Opera-house and still had to spend heaps on acoustic treatment. I guess getting it right in the end is what counts PS The comments are just opinions and shouldn't be taken to heart. They are not personal, just opinions.

Not sure what SMH was, so I looked it up and yeah....

If that was a domestic situation, you'd also need to add in the cost of the divorce lawyer as well

You obviously do not want a blissful sounding system that does not wear you down , or make you give up interest after a short while of listening. I own 36 speaker systems now and my Miller&Kreisel set up was fine with 2 subs until I got the twitch and bought a 3rd one for the rear of the room and it was a difference that made me wish I would have just boughten 3 at the beginning. Some of you people are just nitpicking and speaking out of not having a care or no exsperiance, or maybe. No money to get the honey , either way , opinions are like buttholes, keep them to yourself and think , learn , get a life , and I'm not going to shame no one about financial situations because I e Ben broke at time in my life and do not judge no one on there wealth , I judge people by there attitude and if they are ignorant in a fashion that points fingers at someone that uses there brain , people that are free thinkers are what I let in my life , so think outside the box and exsperiance life in a way that will make you a happy individual with no boundaries to reflect bad energy back at you from every angle that will eventually annoy you and make you crazy , just like controlling sound , it's a energy that makes or breaks your life exsperiance .

if you are handy you can also do a lot yourself that I have done saves a lot of money😃

The same can be said for the one that owns a $20k Rolex Watch as to one that owns a $25.00 Timex Watch. They both keep time..😀🙄😎👍

Yeah, if you live in a factory 👍
