Description

I've put together a very satisfying system, both for music and home theater. The sound is dynamic, with excellent imaging,and soundstaging. Music sounds just great. I've moved into a dedicated room, which helps a lot. I'd appreciate any feedback.

Components Toggle details

    • Nordost Valhalla
    Wonderfully neutral.
    • Nordost Valhalla
    IC's both for the main CD channels, as well as the phono inputs
    • Equitech Wall panel
    Separate circuits for the analog and digital gear. All separated from the lighting, HVAC, etc.
    • Grand Prix Monaco
    Don't know if they help the sound, but they sure look cool.
    • RPG, ASC Diffuser and absorption panels
    I have a dedicated room that is 28' x 22' x 8'. It is a redone basement with brick walls on 2 sides, and drywall on the others, so it is a very live room.. There are asorption panels on the sides and front. There are ASC bass traps in the corners , and diffusers on the ceiling at the first reflection point, and diffusors in the back. It now sounds great. Eventually, I will have it analysed properly.
    • REL Acoustics Studio 3
    Fills in the lower-level information on the Temptations beautifully. A killer in my home theater.
    • MBL 101e's
    Dynamic with great imaging, staging, etc. I can never go back to a speaker in a box. It does need an amp with balls.
    • MBL 111e
    Surround duty
    • Berkely Audio Alpha DAC
    Incredible resolution and tonality. Can't wait to try High-res files.
    • Blue Smoke Media computer
    Outstanding sound with the Berkely DAC. Also, can't beat the convenince
    • MBL 8011's
    Doing surround and center duty

Hi,

I have a 10db room mode at 31hz and a 5db room mode at 62hz. I used to have a TACT, but I found it degraded the sound so I am not using it anymore. I considered the RPG Modex Plate Type II, but they only go down to 40hz. I was hoping a PARC would solve the problem, but given the responses below, it is not transparent enough. Is there a good solution for a 31hz room mode (besides changing the room)?
Thanks,

Vicente
