Randy Bey Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 poor b*st*rd has to go to those lengths to make those speakers sound OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster00 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I think that rack is on a revolving panel in the floor...rotate the audio gear down and the TV comes up? I take that as a personal affront mh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Heh.... You shouldnt! Your listening room makes mine LOOK like a TV room!!! ps- I'm still gonna bug you to no end about it! Wait till I get down there! heh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster00 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 To tell you the truth, I get really nervous when folks come down here specifically to listen to the stereo. You (mh) are probably the one who will make me the nervousist (is that a good word Ray G?). I figure as long as I have that TV down there I am safe, or at least I have an excuse for it all sounding like cr*p! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazman Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 A very nicely prepared building plan and execution, but I've always disliked the look of the add-on acoustic tr*****nt? There must be a better way to integrate acoustical damping into the room. Building a dedicated listening room will be high on the list of must do's along with the custom home after I win the CA Super Lotto.(Right?) A nice collection of vinyl also. Klipsch out.

jnorv Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Living in the Bay Area, it would take the Super Lotto to just afford the land. I have always wanted to do, what I think, are called French walls. Saw them in some palace in Austia. No hard surface. The walls were covered in fabric. I figured to stuff the cavities with insulation and using something like speaker cloth over it. No reason that you could not build in base traps in the corners (Hemholtz resonators maybe).

dougdrake Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Interesting there was no mention of all the custom-covered SVS subwoofers stacked all over the place. HornEd, were you there? DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Well sure, that's a nice rig, but I don't see any klipsch speakers! I bet there are still times when Mr. Ma sits down in his comfy chair there in the sweet spot, and the music still just doesn't do it, ya know. If I'd invested that much time and money in a music room and system, I'd danged well DEMAND some kind of eargasm every time I fired it up. Even my modest system has the drawback of being expected to deliver me to some transcendent state of consciousness on a regular basis. And although it succeeds splendidly often enough, there is just no batting 1000 in the quest for audio nirvana. Too many uncontrolled variables? I think so. Oh well, we all just keep chasing perfection, and I guess that is part of the fun, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Disc Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Jazman - I wish you would hurry up and win that darn lotto, so you could upgrade to a VPI TNT Hot Rod and sell me your Scout cheap! Edster - heh, that room isn't right for you at all. There is no TV in between those speakers! That is a very impressive setup. I don't know about you guys, but I am pretty impressed with the size of that Vinyl collection. I must of missed somthing because I can't seem to see his turntable anywhere? I must admit I don't recognize most of those components, but I don't see a turntable unless it's the top left component? - tb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robforst1 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Very cool link. Those amps are insane! Too bad he didn't have the wisdoms to buy a pair of cornerhorns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazman Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Tim, I guess everything is relative. Look at the next system insanity in the a later post by robforst1. To paraphrase the title of the song "What A Little Moonlight Will Do", "What A Lot Of Mulah Will Do". Klipsch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I also noticed that the TT seems to be absent from the pics.. Am I missing something - nice vinyl collection though!! I wonder how it actually sounds?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
