You can take that to the bank. Even though they didn't fit in a corner like K-Horns do it seemed to amplify both the spl and imaging some. I did not like them off the ground even though I tried it a couple times. It impeded their good sound pressure. What John saw...

Does it make much difference if the speaker is on a stand as opposed to a shelf? 1 ) increases the bass volume approx from + 3 to + 6 dB 2 ) they sound better on a stand as beeing placed within a bookshelf Advantage is a better room positioning in view to your listening place ...good idea to do that 👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Kind of what I've got going on @MicroMara What the little speakers lack is the down-low, got the sub working 18 to 45hz and it's nice and low!

grasshopper Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I want to put my LS in the cottage.... if wife will let me. Otherwise, I'll have to buy another pair.... or Khorns.... when I wanted to buy another pair of LS, said,"You already have some of those".. She may regret those words... The cottage has corners. As far as bookshelf speakers. John.... my "speaker stands" are almost as elaborate as yours. drones as anti-personnel weapon. I have witnessed people flying their toys like that. You feel like you should be in a bunker... just the sound is intimidating 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I have my LS in the corners, it’s great! The bass response was better on my H1’s when they were on the floor backed up to a concrete block wall. once I built some stands for them, which doubled as vinyl and cd storage, I thought they were a little bit top heavy. Not a problem when I was still running a pair of JBL 4636 subs to fill out the low end a bit. After selling/trading the subs to @Marvel I ended up adding a swamping resistor to the Type E and changing which taps were used on the autoformer to even things out a bit. However, I’m thinking about putting the Type E’s back to stock(minus the leaky oil cans) once I get around to finishing the BFM tuba build(seen in the background of the altar rail pic up there somewhere^^^ My JBL L46 were much boomier when in the floor. I actually prefer them as almost a near field monitor, giant headphone style. The L46 are ported to the front so they worked well on a shelf against the wall above my desk. I also have a pair of Marvel’s old Alesis Monitor One studio monitors. they are rear ported which makes them a little trickier for placement. Probably better on top of a mixing desk out in a room a little ways. I have some Fostex powered monitors, PM0.4d which are the same as the Alesis, ported out the back. The Fostex are pretty nice as computer speakers on my desk but I haven’t bothered to set them up and listen to them in a larger space with more distance between them and myself. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I have my HIIs up about 4 ft. They actually sound much better than when I had them on the floor tilted back. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 30 and sunny now? Amazing! Wondering what that ground hog did this morning. The lead story every Ground Hog Day around here. One more month and then I might venture outside al bit more. Might have to fire up the gas and throw some of these new lp's on. Coffee is good though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
