That's a great video!
Well on one wall I do have bookshelf cabinets but they don't take up the whole wall but a good portion. I also have shelves installed on the walls for photos from the bookshelf cabinets to the corner but only 2 shelves. The other side of the bookshelf cabinets is an...
Thank you for the comments. I've been installing and setting up home theaters for family and friends now for about 25 years now. I have a lot of home theater setup tools as well.
I've never had issues with bass setup like I have with these square rooms. Most rooms I've had in the past, and...
How would I add DSP without replacing my receiver or buying a different subwoofer with DSP, or buying an expensive DSP system. DSP isn't something that can be added easily. Also DSP doesn't fix everything. DSP could also make a single sub room response better, if needed.
Many suggest that just...
OK, I added another Klipsch R-120SW to my living room. Mainly as a replacement to the original as the original had glue speckled all over the driver from the dust cap. Initially after having a Polk DSW 660wi that came defective that was a pain to send back, I figured I'd keep the original 120sw...
As I said, I upgraded my Media Room Subwoofer from a 8" down firing Polk TL1600 sub to a 10" front firing Klipsch R-100SW sub. Definitely has much more low end bass. The Polk TL1600 sub had good strong bass down to 40 Hz. I think it rolled off right under 40 Hz as it noticeably sounded cutoff on...
Thanks guys for your help! I instead decided to get a sub but for the media room.
While many may not agree, I have found the Klipsch R-120SW to sound really good in all ways. Significantly better than the Klipsch R-12SWi I had and definitely better than my 24 year old Velodyne CT-100 which is...
I did try different phases and distance settings to match to the main speakers the best in all locations but the left rear corner wasn't about integrating with the main speakers but the bass quality. Like I said, low bass was diminished while upper bass emphasized, plus very muddy as resonances...
Yeh, it's integrated excellent now. Sounds like the bass comes directly from the main speakers. It doesn't draw attention to itself. I experimented with phase changes and distances and the correct 0 degrees and 14' away from me was the best.
Wow, my Velodyne 10" subwoofer filled the room also with room shaking bass as does this Klipsch and it had only 100 Watts RMS/250 Watts Peak compared to the Klipsch's 200 Watts RMS/400 Watts Peak and it had a smaller driver than the Klipsch as well.
I honestly can't image having full size...
I thought the sub would sound better in the corner as well but it didn't. Even the other corner didn't sound as good as where it is behind the right speaker. It could be that the left rear corner has the large picture window right next to it and the right rear corner has shelves in the walls...
I plan to put a chair in the rear left corner. Moving the sofa out from the wall cramps it up with little walk area between book cases and the sofa. Plus without a large living room, I'd be right on top of the speakers and TV.
While I always thought of my living room being medium to small, I've...
Thanks, I have another subwoofer cable already in that area. The problem with that corner is that it is the worst placement in the living room. No where in the living room sounded good with the subwoofer there. It sounded boomy, muddy, with an absence of low bass with an elevation of high bass...
I didnt put it on the pic I drew but that wall to the left is pretty much all picture window so I don't put anything on that wall that will block the window. The opposing side wall has 2 large book cases so its unuseable as well.
Moving sofa out from the wall makes poorer listening position...
I've posted before on this but my room is a square 15' x 16' x 8' with a hallway opening forward right of speaker system and kitchen opening to the right side of the speaker system, both opening up with a larger door size opening (no doors btw) by the right speaker and subwoofer. The subwoofer...
