That last one is I believe Devon Turnbull's OJAS art installation in a gallery or his NY studio/store. Not a home listening environment.

[@weatheranddarkness]

Ya, it's from the gallery presentation.

[@AcousticFields]

Whatever the usage, it represents what not to do when it comes to resolution.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

The system with the big horn speakers was an art exhibit where you could sit and listen to the display. The equipment is part of the exhibit and the viewer/listeners are set up in rows of chairs. For most visitors it was the only time they had heard an audiophile system. It is kind of a pity that the room was not set up to showcase better sound.

[@AcousticFields]

This is a showcase on what not to do, ever.

[@marksimpson4783]

It's great to see all these systems Dennis, thanks 😊

[@AcousticFields]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

if you Have to have a low coffeetable inbetween the couch and set ( compromise ;) ), is there something you can do to it to compensate for the reflections etc? Like tablecloth or something like that? i know its never perfect, just trying to work with what i have:-) cheers. my setup did look somewhat like with the ottoman. so quite a bit of space for the speakers (50 ish cm from the backwall, 90cm from the side.

[@AcousticFields]

Use a towel 4" thick or use 2 @ 2"

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

@@AcousticFields That sounds doable ;-) i ll give that a try. cheers!

Small screen... BAD. Big screen... GOOD. :D It's for home theater. Though last picture is like what even is going on there? What's all of that gear doing up there. Gear is always supposed to be moved or removed from the audio field. Only speakers and treatment as much as possible.

[@AcousticFields]

Screen size is a necessary evil when it comes to audio resolution. Treating around the edges of the screen with absorption will help.

[@sermerlin1]

@@AcousticFields for audio listening yeah smaller screen the better... but for home theater big screen is a must... half the engagement is visuals... and if sound is big and full but the screen is small you get disconnected from the immersion of what's going on.

Centering subs best move ever 😊 Panels parallel w one inch toe in

[@kristofvadnai]

Subs dont need to be placed in the center, they need to go where they work best with the room. The waves are not directional. My sub works wonders behind me, but I can't get a decent response if they are close to the speakers because of cancelling.

[@AcousticFields]

Well said. The sub location is entirely room dependent. The positioning is dependent on the room dimensions along with the amount of energy placed within the room. We must also consider in our placement calculation, the surface area coverages for low frequency management which in most cases is 0. We have placed subs in positions that were not dicated by room dimensions. We used extensieve amounts of low frequency management around the sub itself. What does this do? It reduces amplitude or strength of signal. Less strength(amplitude) lower unwanted resonaces. We used a series of our platforms and cubes. The best place to ensure that your low frequency treatment is going to work at a high efficency is to place it in close proximity to the sub or source.

Than you.

Small screen good? No, small screen bad.

[@AcousticFields]

Screen size like diffuser size is determined by distance from source to receiver.
