Files about refection. If you are going to play the .flac files turn your volume down first and ease into them

Listen for the level wobble in CSource.flac. Listen to Reflect to see how much reduced that wobble is.

The spectrum pictures show that the third of a major chord is reduced when it include a reflection… with a pathological delay.

Lovely chat today. I was prompted by the comment @Sloop_John_B reported (your son I think?) that he is very good at doing nothing. Now that’s the kind of thing I can take lying down. I propose a competition to establish who amongst us is best at doing nothing. First one to rise to the challenge and implement something loses.

When I clicked on the link for today’s meeting I got a screen saying I could not join the call.

Another great chat thanks.

Listen later now primed for action-

I might even boot up my vinyl replay for this one

In relation to the speakers I’m going to demo, the bass:

The Super 20A’s fixed boundary bass reflex loading is key to a more agile, nuanced, textured and detailed bass reproduction.

This probably means something to you guys!

Additional detail. I bought the 8340A monitors and am using the base GLM kit for room correction. I’m in a true near field setup with the monitors on a desk, tweeters about ear height, toed towards my head, I’m between 3 and 4 feet away. The room is mostly untreated 11’x10’.

It’s just a different experience to my main system where the speakers are 8 feet apart and I’m like 9 feet away.

The 8340s are very good. Surprisingly good for such a small package. They do a lot of things right but they are monitors first. Are they “musical”? No. They are accurate to the recording and very few recordings naturally sound musical. Timing, instrument placement, etc. are their thing. I know a few who use them for hifi and I bought speaker stands because I want to hear them in my big room. But, for now, when I want to understand a recording better… I listen on the 8340’s and they revel all. My main system and the 8340s both present in space in the same general way. I’m not saying my main system is fooling me. I’m just saying the 8340s are blunt in their presentation where my main system a little gentler. I feel lucky to have access to them for this purpose.

The original album and the Live in Paris 79 are different. The later has 22 tracks and might have come from different nights of the 4 night stint. What is needed is a Live in Paris '79 Complete with all four concerts presented in their entirety.

If @Dan_Sullivan joins, I’d like to discuss the lack of the fundamental frequency of notes from a piano and how recording and reproduction of that recording trick us into hearing bass that really isn’t there. This may be relevant to the work he’s been doing to model reflections.

But, probably more importantly to the rest of, its why small speakers are able to reproduce such low bass… or at least why we hear bass from small speakers and headphones. And, this may be critical to getting a room to sound good.

and for those that just said WT mud patch is @ipeverywhere going on about?
