A1UC Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) I am in the middle of doing some changes in the room. For now I put the Klipsch speakers away in a back room. I know what needs to be done with the room , I just need to decide how far I want to go . I just hung a Sony XBR 75" TV on wall which is a big factor but I m not to excited on pulling it off the wall and storing it . Also I have a couch on the other side wall which is an issue and would have to be removed . I'm not to excited about making this room a 2 ch listening room only , but then again for as much $$$ as I have in my 2 ch setup it bug me that Im not able to get the best sound possible out of it . My only 3 choices at this time are make it a 2ch listening room , leave TV on wall and deal with it , or move .... I have a fireplace in the middle which is acting like a 3rd speaker , I had 2 panels in front of it but it didnt do the job , Im going to close the front of it off with a removable wall insert . I dont use the fireplace anyways and always hated it , but who ever buys the house will probably love it . For me to remove it and patch everything up is a huge cost because of the way it was installed otherwise it would be gone by now .

A1UC Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Also the Rack being that high and being in the middle of the speakers is a issue which I have already corrected , now the rack in 12" only off the floor . They say you don't want the rack any higher than the lowest speaker when it is between the speakers . Edited April 26, 2016 by A1UC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The fire place is about 4" further back than the brick so I will build a fake wall with 2x4's and insulation/ drywall and seal it off , this is my next fix when I find some time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 There is a very nice article which discusses room size etc. One point it brings up which seem to fit your problem is "When I tell people that the width of the room is too small for their speakers, it's because I know the narrow room width is going to combine with the radiation pattern of the speaker to create reflection issues. We need to define distance in terms of what the speakers' requirements are, not what you think looks and works best. This is the speaker's room, not yours!" http://audiophilereview.com/room-acoustics/ideal-room-size-dimensions-and-ratios-for-audiophile-listening.html I liked the statement "This is the speaker's room, not yours!" This is my favorite room mode calculator: http://amroc.andymel.eu/. Is your room in the center of the bolt area? Are the speakers too close together for good seperation? Perhaps the long wall would be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzog Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Got the chance to hear the P38 and P37 over the past weekend. If I had the funds, they would be in my home; those are absolutely fantastic. Don't sell the 39s! You can make them work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A1UC Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I am in a spot , I really love my Joseph Audio Perspectives but also want to give these P39's a chance . I decided to hold on to both of them till 100% sure which pair to sell . I plan on moving one day but right now with everything going on with family etc I don't know where I want to move so it might be awhile . I feel I need to give the P39's a chance in a bigger room before deciding and I need to play around with placement in there current location . So looks like they are both keepers for now . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 That's a nice predicament to be in, any chance of keeping them both? Just curious, when playing with the P39 placement, do you prefer the sound with no toe in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, when playing with the P39 placement, do you prefer the sound with no toe in? I didn't mess with it last night after getting them setup that's why the picture shows no toe in , this morning I was listening and i did toe in the speakers and the sound improved . Today I hope to measure placement and play with the toe in to find the best spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
