Nice room! |
Hi Syncamorea,
Thanks, although it's not totally finished yet i'm really happy with it.
Haven't tried the Crown amp yet on the Duntech's. But i'm familiar with the quality of it and i think they will match perfectly. I like the Crown very much because it's clean sounding, has huge headroom and low-end control.
About the acoustics. We did a lot of measurements to determine what we should do, how much absorption was needed and on which places. The room had a small flutter echo which disappeared when we placed the four big absorbers (with rock-wool underneath the clothing) on the side walls which are 79" height, 24" width and 2" deep. To reduce the early reflection we used special foam which was supplied by David van Olst (
www.goedgeluid.nl ). Those panels measure 47" x 24" x 2". The diffusers on the back wall are the famous RPG Skylines. Around the 6 Skylines there's a frame which holds them against the wall. We first placed the Tubetraps in the corners of the back wall but placed behind the speakers the low-end range is more even and in general it give much more definition.
Experimenting with the type and amount of panels and the position of them was very interesting. I learned a lot from that because with every change we took the time to decide if it truly sounded better. In the end we found a nice way between a nice measurable result and a comfortable listening environment. The Duntech's sound awesome here!
