experimenting is fun.

More experimenting...

I picked up an area rug and a few runners today. I hung one runner on the back of the fireplace, which is directly behind my head.



Wow! What a difference! I did not expect such a metamorphosis. The first thing I noticed is that I need an extra tweak on the volume knob to get the same perceived SPLs I was getting before. Without some of those reflections it is significantly quieter.

Second thing I noticed is that there is more bass. A good thing for me considering the 288 horns drivers easily overpower the bass bins, even with 2 16" woofers in each. I had to keep the mid-attenuator almost full off to even them out. Now I can turn it up to about 3 instead of 1.

I'm liking it so far. But now I need to address bass traps...does this ever end?

Just going from a high back chair to a low back chair makes a difference.....along with everthing else in the room!
