big rig
Room Size
18'w x 37' l x 8' h
System Overview
Wam Flexspeakers (d'Applitto version) designed by Wally Malewicz, Wytech 211 amp, custom built woofer Amps, Rane EQ for bass only). Speakers feature Raal tweeters and Audio technology midrange and bass units, bass extension down to 20 Hz.
Music Preferences
Blues, Rock, Jazz and Classical- pretty much what ever I am in the mood for
Room Description
Downstairs main room, dedicated to audio. Long length assures excellent bass and allows speakers to come out 9' from back wall making soundstage VERY deep.
Acoustic Treatment
DIY acoustic absorbing panels (2x4' and 2x6'), 2 diffusing panels and absorption on ceiling in first reflection point. Room reverb averages around .38 seconds which I have found to be almost perfect. EQ on bass is huge factor
Listening Impressions
HUGE deep and wide soundstage, with excellent separation. 3D palpable images though out the entire stage. Very revealing and involving. Hard to turn it off.
Media Storage
Lacie HDD directly attached to dedicated audio PC with a custom built linear PSU for HDD.
Other Comments
Use Roon with Tidal and HQPlayer integration.
