Anyway, the system(s): Living room: Arcam AVR250 AV receiver Arcam DV79 DVD Audio player Rega Planar 3 turntable with RB300 tonearm and Ortofon 510 cart Pro-Ject Phono Box II Sony RCD-W100 CD recorder Sony MDS-JB980 minidisc deck Technics RS-BX606 cassette deck Media centre PC Turtle Beach Audiotron Pinnacle ShowCenter Sky+ PVR Philips VR-1000 SVHS VCR Panasonic TX32PM1 32" widescreen CRT TV Mordaunt Short Avant 908 (main), 905C (centre) 2x 903S bipolar (surround) B&W ASW-1000 sub Chord Cobra III for DVD to amp, Cambridge Audio Tape Solution for MD and cassette deck, Cambridge Atlantic for VCR audio, Profigold S-video interconnect (VCR to amp), home-made SCART-RGB component cables. 908 and 905C speakers connected with Chord Rumour 4 cable, rears connected with 105-strand OFC (basically Gale XL-105 but bought on a 100m roll). Also have Isotek power cables on amp and DVD player, all plugged in to a surge and RFI filtered 4 way block (amp, DVD, sub and phono pre-amp are on RFI filtered block). All the rear speaker cables (along with line level feed for Zone 2) are buried in the wall, so high WAF when needed. I'm single at present... but when I'm not I won't have to rearrange everything! Ok, no SB in that setup, but... Zone 2 feed from amp feeds a Kenwood KA-3020SE driving a pair of APart 8" coaxial ceiling speakers in the kitchen. Feed goes through a small relay box driven from "geek port" on SB3 in kitchen, when SB3 switched on the kitchen speakers are supplied by the Squeezebox, when off they're fed from Zone 2 on the Arcam. Not exactly "audiophile", but fed through a 5-band EQ to compensate for room acoustics. Zone 3 (office/dining room) currently runs from SPDIF output on USB sound card (Creative MP3 Blaster). Tend to use WinAmp for this, but no reason why I couldn't use SoftSqueeze if I wanted to sync stuff. Zone 4 (Bathroom) - SB3 sits in custom enclosure in false wall, feeding an old Technics SU-VX500 amplifier. This drives another pair of APart 8" ceiling speakers. Considering using software room correction on this, but currently runs through a 10-band EQ to take out some of the peaks (tiled walls etc). Zone 5 (master bedroom) - Yamaha DSP-AX620 amp, Toshiba SD-530 DVD-Audio player, Sony RDR-HXD710 DVD/HD recorder with Freeview, Sky+, Grundig 32" widescreen TV, Audiotron, Showcenter, Gale 4/Centre 2/2i speakers, Paradigm PS-1000 subwoofer. Zone 6 (spare bedroom) - haven't decided yet, but all the wiring's in for multiroom. Zone 7 (box room) - same as zone 6. Zone 8 (Garden) - slaved from zone 3 at present, but may well buy another SB3 and install in utility room. 2 pairs of weatherproof "rock effect" speakers (one set wired for L-R difference signal for surround effect) running from an old Sony mini system with 6 band EQ (some heavy EQ needed to get speakers to sound decent).

We all know that the sickness we call "audiophile" requires that we always have to question our current setup. So let me understand your recommendation of speaker placement. You propose I move my main speakers out from the rear wall to approx 2ft and also away from the side walls the same distance? My room dimensions are as follows; 12'9"w x 23'4"l The listening position is about 11ft from the front plane of the main speakers. I believe this falls in line with the calculation of no more than 120% further back than the distance between speakers. If I move the speakers out and in won't I also need to move the listening position in closer to stay in the triangle?

IMHO, it's not a matter of spending a lot of money on good bass trapping...I'd recommend going with a John Risch DIY bass trap if you don't want to spend the money. I'd also consider bringing your speakers out from the corners as a first step without spending any money. That said, yes, I have not heard your system in your room, and from what you've posted, I'm guessing you're getting pretty good sound in your room. My comments were primarily in reaction to highdudgeon commenting that he thought your room was treated as best it could be. And btw - I think Signal Cable is very good stuff, and I use their speaker cables in my bedroom system. I also use VH Audio power cords with some of my gear (they only sell direct). FWIW, one of the hardest things about becoming a dealer for me was the fact that people who don't know me see that I'm a dealer and immediately put me in a group of "snake oil salesmen". I consider myself to be a music lover first, audiophile second, and audio dealer third. I don't expect any sympathy for this, but I do just want to say that what I say on these kinds of forums comes primarily from my own personal experience, and not from any other kind of agenda or motivation. Heck, I'm not even a dealer for most of the products/websites I mentioned to you...! :-) As far as the TV goes, you're right. I have a cover for my own plasma TV that I use when listening, but I do now realize that for the purposes of posting a picture of setup, you'd want to show it to show complete setup.

But I'm of the impression that Aurelex bass traps are pretty "entry-level" in terms of broadband absorption...you should be looking for bass traps that are either of higher density and thickness; check out RealTraps.com, rpginc.com, and even Echobusters.com for more effective bass trapping (the EB Phase 4's are much better than the Bass Busters)...I think particularly because of your speaker placement, bass trapping is really the most important thing you should be addressing. Aurelex is decent enough for 1st reflection points, but rigid-fiberglass products are usually more effective than foam-based productsGIKAcoustics.com or Acousticsfirst.com are good sources for low-priced rigid fiberglass products. As mentioned, I hope I didn't come across as being overly negative or anything like that. I can definitely tell that getting it right is important to you...was just surprised to see such great high end gear surrounded by what is essentially budget-room-treatments when room acoustics are easily your most important "component" in your system...and highdungeon's comment made me think about making a comment... -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

IMHO the tube buffer brings the midrange forward with a subtle softening of the upper midrange and treble transients. No loss of detail, just a warmer/richer presentation - a good addition to an overly analytical or bright system however if a rig is laid back the buffer will pull it into the mud. Another benefit is the X-10 presents an easy load to the amplifier. Frankly it has more impact in my main system than in my headphone rig but as long as the X-DAC is there, the buffer will tag along. -- FZfan FZfan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3994 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

What you are talking about can be done already with the TACT BOZ 216/2200. I use that system in my 5.1 setup with the TACT TCS MKII. While I don't have 3 amps for each of my 5 Eggleston Andra IIs, I do use 2, separating the lower driver (at 135hz) from the upper drivers on each of my Andra IIs. I use a total of 10 amps in that system (not including the sub) and set the crossovers via the TACT BOZ 216. Here is a pic of the 3 front Andra IIs in my 5.1 audio setup. Each one is bi-amped and uses external crossovers. I had Eggleston build them with the lower crossover disconnected. +---+ |Filename: andra.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1639| +---+ -- Sleestack *headphone:* singlepower sds-xlr at, classe sacd2, hd650 *2 channel:* tact rcs 2.2.xp w/ full aberdeen mods, bel canto oneref. 1000 monoblocks x 4,teac esoteric p-03/d-03, epiphany 12-12s (waiting for my 20-21s), tact w210 corner load subs *5.1 channel:* tact tcs mkii w/ aberdeen power supply, tact boz 216/2200 (x5) w/ aberdeen power supply, tact adc6 w/ full aberdeen mods, denon 5910, bel canto pl-1a, eggleston andra ii (x5), velodyne dd-15, pioneer elite pro 1130hd Sleestack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Naive question - why do you need 4 monoblocks? Do you have a simple crossover in each speaker, with an amp for each? It always seemed to me the ultimate in that direction would be to have the crossover be digital (say in some sort of super TacT) and customized to the speaker, with a dedicated channel for each cone (tweeter, woofer, etc.), and with a seperate amp on each channel.

The photo is taken in an extension to the house in which there are large windows on each side. The green reflection in the SB3 is actually trees outside. I considered a polarizer but it had the effect of reducing the readability on Classe TFT. Personally I think the quality of the display on the SB3 matches that of the classe pretty well (despite a 40 fold price differential!!). For those using film, thats excellenttherein true quality lies. Most of the images on http://ajmitchell.shutterpoint.com have a film version too (Fuji reala on minolta 7). I am also looking into 6x12 wide120 format for landscapes which are my real love. I have some more SB3 pictures taken in the same setting, and I'll post one or two more over the weekend. Alex ps. I would love to see a photo forum or even better photo contestcould be interesting to do some long exposures for the display. -- ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
