Me Likey!!

I have had a true love hate relationship with this crazy hobby but am starting to find what I love and less of what I hate. Music is what matters! The wife and I love jazz, classical and small scale accoustic rock. Being from New Orleans, we have a true love for un amplified jazz and accoustical music. Any suggestions with regard to 2 channel enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. And yes, there are actual musicians that enjoy "music" as opposed to "the next high dollar non return on investment " part of this hobby as well. See my music section. Peace!

Spendors are ridiculously good speakers I am told.

Thanks for touching on the Corner Tunes - I've been dying to know what you think about them. When you test out the Corner Tunes go ahead and set everything else up and get used to the sound for a few days (or a week) and THEN install them. You should hear the timing of the music change drastically - and of course a reduction in harshness (midrange echoes.)

Happy Holidays to you and yours'!

Did you ever get those tri-corner absorbers?

bruce30

Any word on the Corner Tunes yet?

bruce30

He IS awesome. I'm curious to know what you think of the Corner Tunes when you receive 'em.

I think you and your wife'll be surprised at how much easier to hear your music will become with the midrange more under control.

Speaking of live music, my wife & I went to see The Reverend Horton Heat on wednesday. There's nothing in hi-fi that can quite match the visceral experience of an upright bass being played vigorously through about 10,000 watts of amplification to at least twenty 18" woofers in a small theater. :D

Bruce here again, I just wanted to show you these larger tri-corner traps I found today. They're made by a new company called Primacoustic and retail for $99/pair (check out the sale price & bask in the savings ;) You'll want to use at least 4 (these can be used on the floor tri-corners too if you're a fanatic.) Judging by your current paint selection I'd go with the black because the beige would draw too much attention and the grey probably won't match. $200 for a $1000 dollar improvement.

Yeah, she's really talented, I own a few Cowboy Junkies albums. Love 'em. I bet that LP you're holding sounds great on your system.

I came to the same conclusion about Magnepans. The only thing you need to complete your system now is a 4 pack of Room Tune's "Corner Tunes" (or any other tri-corner type absorbers really.) We just tried them in my bro'n'law's tv room & these things work wonders. He has tile floors with no area rug or carpet in his tv room and the Corner Tunes by themselves really help lessen the cacophony.

A forward radiating speaker is a much better choice for this particular setup, kudos Jimbo.
