Deang Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I'm leaving for Germany tomorrow afternoon because of the death of my Uncle on my Mother's side. I'll be gone until the 28th and will miss the Klipsch Forum/members. Y'all be good. Since everyone was so gracious taking the time to teach me how to post pictures -- I thought I would attach some jpegs of my listening room & system. Many thanks to Mobile and Mdeneen for all the great posts regarding tube amps. ------------------ dean This message has been edited by deang on 03-20-2002 at 01:23 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKlipsch Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Nice...are those Svetlana KT88's....how do you like them???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Just decided to drop by and see what's up. Glad I did. Nice system, deang. Know youre excited getting all that new gear! The amp looks great. Have you tried moving your speakers farther apart? If you bring them a bit farther out from the back wall and about 20 inches or so father apart (experiment), you might be very surprised at the increase in depth and width of your soundstage. Nice looking stuff, though. Congratulations! Sorry about the family matters, however. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 My condolences, Dean. Have a safe trip, and try to go to some yard sales while you're there! Awaiting your report, fini P.S. Is the "Shhh...baby sleeping " sign for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 20, 2002 Author Share Posted March 20, 2002 So far just the stock Chinese KT-88's, Sovtek 6922's, and them other two - what the hell are they - can't remember - I'd have to go upstairs and look. Doesn't matter -- I'll be rolling the tubes next month. At any rate, sounds perty good. Kelly -- My listening position is 11 feet from the front of the speakers. I have them 5 1/2 feet apart for that reason. Two feet from the back wall and two feet in from each side wall. Any closer and I could quit using headphones Think I should still spread them out?? ------------------ dean This message has been edited by deang on 03-20-2002 at 01:28 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 deang Sorry to hear of your loss. On the speaker front I would most defenitly try spreading them apart and then play with tow in slightly. I found that it really help the sound stage to get them apart at least 8' and 10' or more would probably be even better. But it looks like you room would need a jack hammer to go much more than 10' LOL.

mobile homeless Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Yes, I would try to get them farther apart, definitely, especailly considering how far away you are from them. You could actually stand to have them about 3' out from the wall which will increase a sense of depth with the soundstage. Also, you dont want the distances the same from the rear wall as the side walls. You are actually too far back given your speakers distance apart. You are going to notice a HUGE difference moving them farther apart and out from the wall; I promise you this. Be precise with your measurements here. If the speakers were around 7.5 feet apart and three feet out, try moving your chair in to about 8 - 9 feet and see what you think. Horns do help with room reflections. It is important to get the speakers an equal distance from your ears. Be exacting here. Also, try to be more careful with your wiring. Sep all power cables from IC and speaker wire. Also, I would bring your speaker cables out and back in to the terminals, not letting them coil across each other. Personally, I left my speaker cables off the carpeting and have found this makes a subtle difference. Many in here, once again, will scratch their heads. Let them. Try it. The change in speaker positioning will make DRAMATIC differences in the sound, although I find this more true with regular speakers. Still, you will be rewarded here. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenratboy Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Those are RF-X? If I was driving down your street, and was looking at those attic windows, I would never expect to see a nice system in there, just old cloths and spiders.
