Re: Boombox
Has anybody here ever built a speaker with left and right mid bass sharing the same backwave enclosure space ? Like some little boombox and Bluetooth speakers do. No. But my bass cab for low bass (cross over at 70Hz) does. In fact left and right low bass share the same speaker cone! :-D (Separate v...
Re: Boombox
I reckon that even thinking about this has made the tiny amount of audiophile street cred that I had remaining totally evaporate. Oh well. It's all about the enjoyment of music after all isn't it ??? My little jbl charge 5 does so many things right. If is really detailed and non annoying. The bass i...

Re: Speaker placement, reflections, cancellations, modes - making the best of a bad job
I wish I had never tried my bipolar speakers and listening chair well away from the walls. Unfortunately I can't un-hear it. I am all too familiar with piss poor speakers - I've made a few :grin: I can't now ignore the fact that rooms and boundaries are bad. If I could I would have a single speaker ...

Re: Speaker placement, reflections, cancellations, modes - making the best of a bad job
I'm loving the replies so far on this thread, keep up good work. At this rate I will be forced to emigrate to pfm for somebody to talk to. I will be carpet bombed with graphs, equations and comments that I have no idea what I am talking about whilst they have a good chuckle that I can't really be se...

Re: Turn up the treble
Nothing wrong with a bit of treble. ;) This is my favourite track from one of my favourite guitarists, Sten Webb. It affected my early guitar sound no end and has been the cause, over the years, of many band members screaming at me to turn my " fucking treble down ". Nah. Sometimes you ne...

Re: Turn up the treble
I can’t stand excessive treble. The fact that I use single driver speakers might give a clue :lol: Makes me laugh when people say to me that my designs could do with a bit more ‘sparkle’ up top. If someone aged from 55-70 years wants their treble to sparkle, then it’s wishful thinking, and they are...
Boombox
Has anybody here ever built a speaker with left and right mid bass sharing the same backwave enclosure space ? Like some little boombox and Bluetooth speakers do. I can't see stereo separation being a problem as the left and right are very close to each other anyway. If one channel has a low frequen...

Re: Your last listen
Weather Report - Black Market.
My favourite WR album. Take jazz add some world music and a touch of rock. Not forgetting Jaco Pastorious' scrumptious bass playing.

Turn up the treble
No please don't, too much treble annoys the feck out of me. I can't relax and within a few songs I have a headache and then Mrs Kara feels sad :cry: I think it is popular for manufacturers to dial the treble up. It gives a false sense of extra detail and you need to impress in the dem0 room against ...
