My lastest thoughts on this subject is in two parts. Part-1: Sprung floor, that is to say a wood floor on joists, best to decouple with something that will dampen the energy and not turn the floor into a resonating diaphragm. Part-2: Solid floor, concrete ground slab, couple to it with spikes...

If I'm not mistaken both Bobby Owsinski author of studio mixing and acoustic books, plus the Sound Doctor Barry Ober have made claims about the miles of circuitry and interconnect cable/wire a recording goes through before the customer has access to it. In short, don't sweat that last mile or...

I was under the impression that the Motion series was for motion pictures. The larger stat hybrids for 2-channel and perhaps tubes. I guess if pressed for space the Motion series is as good as any other mini monitor bookshelf speaker - or expect it so.

Interesting that digital cables just like analog cables make a difference and have break-in.

If you take the back panel off to get to the crossover, speaker leads for the panels are screwed into place. Maybe a wire got pulled out? Speaking from the experience of working on the Aerius model.

One of the local HiFi shops in metro-Detroit represented both those speakers. They are both excellent in their own way. Congrats!

I'm not familiar with your equipment, but sounds like you are getting a new life experience. And that is cool. Room acoustics is a biggie. Once you discover room acoustics, audio madness will set in for sure.

I've used an Electrostatic Duster before, those furry/fluffy looking ones. Mine was pink, just broke it because the plastic wand got old. Looks like new ones are blue. https://www.eurow.com/products/eurow-electrostatic-duster-replacement-head If the dust is old and embedded, then yes fingers...

Must be an old video if large box CRT tube TV set enclosures are a consideration. In fact, anything in the front soundstage including audio racks, center channel speakers and subwoofers can compromise 2-channel stereo imaging. The front wall is highly sensitive, one chap would not allow...

Both tracks sound like romantic movie music. My wife and I love both songs. I looked outside my window at the river and felt like I was in a movie. And this experience was just on my cell phone. Wonderful.

Short video by M/L. Shows mirror method for finding early sidewall reflection points and treating them. Also mentions that if closer to front wall than the 2 or 3 feet recommended, drapes or bookcases behind speakers can be useful to break up the rear wave ( but proper distance is preferred...

The stereo used to be the first thing I'd unpack when I moved just so I had tunes to unpack everything else. Last house we were at for 27 years, and took me about five months before I set up the stereo. So, you are way ahead of me, congrats.

One more opinion, but please keep an open mind that everything mentioned so far may also work. Pull speakers 2-feet more into the room, plus place your subwoofer dead center in between them in front of the audio rack. You may experiment with subwoofer being 180 out of phase with mains. It is...

Gordon, I saw the demise of the forum long ago and shouted out to all the regulars via PM including you and Tom Dac and my warnings were met with indifference and apathy. One member alone can be held responsible for changing this forum's climate and he was eventually banned as he had previously...

Over at "What's Best" they attempted to lure industry insiders by offering them their own section, in affect acting as a blog. If such a thing here was done it may have to be a present or former M/L factory insider or even a dealer. Roberto often served that role as a dealer, perhaps get some...

Guys, I have used the soft brush attachment on my wife's vaccum cleaner many times without incident. However I too read an earlier post as advocating brushing only. I was considering using my Thunderon brush as purchased from Sleeve City, but upon doing research now will not even think of...

Like I said, every day or two more changes. This time I sought to explore the validity of either building my own subwoofer or modifying my existing one. The goal would be to minimize it's presence in the front soundstage by reducing external reflections. To test the concept I placed the 23"...

Just draping furry blankets on the CD rack and utility door coat rack on opposite wall widens the soundstage and the speakers start to vanish. The curved diffusers do much the same as modest absorption with the added benefit of increased liveliness. Increased articulation across the board...

Fabricated up yesterday in a few hours some first/early reflection point curved diffusers. Used what I had on hand. PVC sheets, corroplast, foil tape, Gator tape, carpet padding, closed cell foam, shelf brackets, castors, and legs from an old HP large format printer. The whole thing weighs...

I modified a soft kitchen sponge by cutting a stepped hole in it for the vaccum nozzel. I lost my soft brush attachment so had to rig something. EDIT-1: The one I made before was better, had two step collar. This one I have to cup and hold so hard plastic does not protrude through. I...
