mustang guy Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 ...Just curious, mustang guy, is your shop a shop in the sense of a workshop, or a shop in the sense of a store? I It is part auto shop, part muscle car museum, but mostly man-cave. Here are some photos that show it some... Here is a picture looking down from the mezanine... Shows the ceiling and you can see the mezanine just in front of the car. Dance floor up there. I use for storage for now. Here is the LF speaker Finally the back of the shop... Picture is worth a thousand words... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyrc Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wow. Neat! BTW, your shop looks like it would be very "live" acoustically. This might sound good, if there is a rich reverberant tail that you like. If you don't happen to like it, you could spread some Sonex around on 30-40% of the area of the distant walls and ceiling. If you have a few (5, 6, 7) stationary seats or a couch or two for your guests, the Audyssey in the Marantz AV7005 (or in some other pre/pro) might be quite helpful in dealing with time domain issues in a room like yours, at the same time it improves the EQ. I believe it does this by emphasizing the first sound to arrive in each chair (i.e., the sound directly from each individual speaker, all of which are automatically assessed and adjusted separately), and causing the reflected sounds to be relatively weaker. I think I heard that the Marantz allows you to instantly compare (switch between) Audyssey, Audyssey Flat, no compensation, and manual EQ, to see which you really like. The Audyssey company guy I talked to online cautioned that manual EQ does nothing for you in the time domain, and you can't just copy the slider setting you see on the screen (the EQ settings Audyssey has determined), because the manual EQ leaves out the time domain stuff, and, therefore, the EQ settings may not be correct without the time factors. Using the manual virtual sliders (only one per octave from 63 Hx up) by ear or with Room EQ Wizard (free online) may be better than no EQ at all, but does not utilize the many, many points in the frequency spectrum that either the Audyssey or the Audyssey Flat options use. Audyssey is apparently very proud of their product, and one of the reviews of the Marantz AV 7005 said that it clearly improved the sound. There are some pre/pros (probably more expensive than the Marantz AV 7005) that use even more points on the frequency spectrum to assess your speaker/room sound.
