Can we like have just pictures gallery? I never managed to see all .. (lazy I am) .. pictures of our formers at one go. I think the past few times I managed to just go till page 30+.

there's another thread, with just specs. Dunno where it go, perhaps it could be posted there.
Anyway, any forum'ers here staying in KL area, I wonder if some could make a stereo hifi setup in an apartment living.

Htkaki, i should had go listen to your brothers setup the other day ... mine still missing some touch, will be getting the foams later on this evening.

how about pictures here?

hmmm... wont mind dropping by the next time I'm around, anyway with the foams I got what i wanted and speakers sounded like what i expected, even with movies my gf also noticed the tightness and clarity.

You come over and see for yourself lah .. now living room looks like a studio ...

Ok, this weekend I'll snap a few.
I followed you bro's recommendation for the fixtures, since my sitting position is smack wall to wall. "sofa at one wall and screen on the other"
I placed 4 sheets behind my front speakers and 2 pcs behind my sofa. I'm able to push back my front speaker nearer to the wall and clear the walk way.
Bass if much fuller and tight. no more loose and messy. Clarity from the horns are so clear and soothing, unlike before where it tends to irritate.
Yep, you're correct about the echo problems .. reflections of sound create a delay and turns out compressed. Layering is ok ok .. maybe i need a better player and source.

I'm not sure if my placements are correct or not, but it works pretty good with how i placed it .. I hantam only .. maybe you can share more tips on the placements.

with questions there comes answers, with needs only life goes on ma!
in few days time you pun pasang those foams also la !!!! hehe

Yep, egg crates profile cut. what are you using at the moment?

PM sent

The ones that I used are 500mm x 1000mm in size.

I padded the rear of my front speakers with 4 sheets of the foams, and I'm able to push my speakers 1.5feet from the walls. good focused bass.

I did wanna cover my side walls, still in nego stage and awaiting approval.

As for my rear sitting position, i wish to cover even the ceiling but permit tak lepas, so just 2 sheets behind for the moment.


So far so good, as I said earlier.. it's clean and clear.
Would like some ideas about placements too .. I just hantam oni.

Just 2" double sided tapes.

I agree.

Yep this thread is for us to blow water i guess! the initial idea of having all pictures at one page, was because I never made it beyond page 30+ every time i start from the beginning.

Pictures and arrangements could help give ideas and as a reference to all.

Could we keep both?

875 + DSP = peasant? charm liao loh the terms.
This thread is good for chatting and lepak.

benjaminn,
Your room seems pretty bare, do you not have any acoustic problems?
htkaki is very good at trouble shooting this problem, I showed him some pictures of my setup and he guided me through the testing and treatments.
Now I'm loving it, calibrations, and comments from him are very useful, I never knew my system can sound like this before.

Thanks htkaki.

yep!

why not trying out presence? maybe you'll love it.
I know that it'll give you the ambient, long halls might not do much, but wide on the other hand might get a wider sound stage.

since you have the extra speakers , why not give em a try?

this is still not that bad if you're using an AVR, as you are still able to lower down the db for different hz, would be tough when using a tube, but still you're able to adjust using your cdp.
my previous encounter was it sounded bright, details we superb but with slight modifications on the EQs you're able to push the bands to one stage and still layered them out naturally.
adjustments can still be made.

mega,

11x11 it's ok la .. you just need some sound traps to balance back the harmony. I thought that my room was good enough but having people visiting once a while for audition, I find that it's better after comments and adjustments. my room is a bout 15' x 11' with one open alley, and I sit smack right to the wall. (this gave me a lot of disadvantages, but was able to counter with rear wall absorption panels. Can't rearrange on the other position as the sliding door is on the path.

lolz.

you don't need to cover your whole room bro, I have a 2nd batch of foams coming in shortly.
If you're interested, I can work something out for you.

Nope I don't think so, anyway I'm not sure how it looks like and made from what material.
I'm only able to get simple absorption foams with eggshell profile cut at the moment, I'm working also on other pattern and on diffusion panels as well.

The first batch that I took in worked very well.

but will it sound dead if you have absorption foams covering the whole room?
