Hi dan, got your e-mail thanks.

Just for reference sake in the thread, here is a link that lupo gave in the thread this 'grew' from http://www.resolutionmag.com/pdfs/SWEETS~1/bigsoundsmallroom.pdf. For all I know this may be the only data available.

The measurements I am using were simply deduced from pics and dimensions of the coupler I have seen.

Ahh, can I conclude that the series of graphs above are just cluttering the thread?? If so, let me know and I can edit them out (or the uneccessary ones?).

My verbiage clutters most threads anyway, no need for extra!!

Leave the speakers where they are. Drive both.
Pick one spot, mix position, ear height.
Hahaha, You honour me. My mix position?? Dude, I am a dumbass 2 ch stereo guy, playing in the big boys forum!!

Only here to learn about room treatment for my listening room. Audiophiles play with components to get 'the best sound'. the sensible ones consider the room.

We are interested in LF decay only. In REW only Waterfall plots will show that.
There should be one or two long mountain ranges at the bottom end.
With the Couplers this should shorten considerably.

Let me know about the graphs and whether they should stay. I have generated a few waterfalls, but for some strange reason I can't seem to get them to show from 20-200...I can get 40-200 or 20-100, but there is a point where either the top cuts off or the bottom cuts off.

No biggie, will give you the bottom..(which is not the same as giving you the arse btw)

These measurements are at ear height, listening position, both channels driven.



my speakers drop like a stone under 35 hz, so only noise under that. This setting gave me the highest reach FR wise.

Purple without any traps, ochre compressed f/glass facing and ceiling insulation behind it.
