Always learningLapierre,Thank you. I manage to sell the Luxman at big loss.I glued the RPGs to the ceiling. I waited the glue to be half dry and stick them up. Much easier on the rotator cuffs. posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

Always learningAlbert,It really sounded bad. Those shelfs extended the measured RT60 of 40hz to 150hz to 0.8sec. Without the shelfs, it was 0.45 to 0.55 sec. Bass was muddy, diffuse and hanged in the room... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
