To clarify what speakers I "speak" of. I love the look of those huge Montana PBN speakers. Also really liked two different, smaller versions I've heard at times earlier this year. jim...
Hey Art, The great music and overall "vibe?" of your room still lingers in my mind. Even 6 or so weeks later. And it has made me get off my lazy duff and start aggressively pushing the limits of my own room and system. I've been too complacent too long. And things have improved. Thank you for that. And thanks again for such an ear opening experience! jim...
Great rooms, work and ideas on the hdacoustics website. I made my wife sit and scroll through the pages. Besides Art's, she liked what was done in many others. Like Ben Corn's "the barn". Thanks for the link. jim...
I was fortunate enough to be among the early visitors to Art's "new" room. For the last few months while it was under construction, I have been thinking to myself, "What's really wrong with the room anyway?" It's always sounded good in the past. For sure, I've heard different sonic flavors as different brands and models of equipment, speakers, CD systems, etc. have passed through his room. After an extended listen Sunday I have to say... Well, WOW! what an improvement. His new room's sonic signature has changed the whole presentation from a few months ago, but with the same speakers, amps and CD system as before. There was less of an urge to grab that center sweet spot for serious listening. As a matter of fact, I noticed that I was REALLY listening to the music no matter where I sat or stood. I was being pulled back into the music more than I remember from past visits. Conversation became a secondary task. As a matter of fact, we were chatting and one guy said something like "hey, I want to listen to this". Pretty cool that all the work and construction that was done to rework the room made the room more of a silent partner to music enjoyment. What a important piece of audio gear a great room can be! Guess it's time to get out my hammer and saw. And Art says he isn't quite through? What!? He's going to improve on this? "What's really wrong with the room anyway?" jim...
