No matter how many times I told him not to do it he still would go for it every time my back was turned. 
Look up a few posts and you'll see the answer, joking.
No sub, just the towers this afternoon. From the ARC graph's the S6's are starting to roll off at 30hz, I think room gain is contributing a lot to the low end but ARC flattens the peak so it sounds pretty good. I've got a nasty hole from 100-150 hz on the left front that ARC can't completely get rid of, I need to invest in some corner traps but not in this room. |
haha.... maybe he wants to be a DJ now? He's in training! At least one of us is happy about it. Ill take a pic of the setup redone again and post it up later tonight. I think Im gonna get the replacement Stylus for the cartridge... its not too much, thank God. What sucks is that this cart really got me enjoying my TT and vinyl even moreso then before. It provided very good mid-range and highs, and had enough bass to satisfy without being over-bearing.... like it was when I first got it. BUT, I might just get yours in a couple months anyways so that I have a good spare on top of the other spare I have right now..
That is pretty incredible that your speakers are getting down to 30 hz.... OH, and you have ARC to confirm it too.
I know Rhett said when that Empire Strikes Back played on his system for the first time it hit really hard and he wasn't expecting it at all. Over at Marios it did the same, that first 'thwack' took me and Mario by surprise. Hopefully when you get to your main HT room you can work that dip out, maybe some room treatments or better placement.
BTW, when are you getting your HT room back??
In this whole reconfiguring of the items I moved the speakers further apart also and still maintained enough distance so that the kid can't get to them... I noticed the soundstage open, esp. with classical. Now the two sides of the orchestra sound broader. Im sure that will help with other forms of music as well.
OH, and FWIW, if you want to find Classical, look for things where Leonard Berstein is the conductor. I find him to be pretty good. And I look for full length symphonies, not the sample platters. The one I bought yesterday is Beethoven's 9th Symphony done in Berlin.
