room setup question
Not meaning to sound condescending here,but I have to agree with Riley804.What does it matter what someone else thinks as long as you hear no difference?I read your reply to him but I'm failing to grasp your reasoning.Maybe I'm just dense!!Theory is one thing,what you hear is what matters.Good luck. |
Thanks Jdoris, that's helpful. Forutnately not the case here. Tpreaves -- no worries, I've gotten used to your "I am the consummate skeptic" point of view. My response is with an analogy: suppose you test drive a car and you think you like it, but you feel you still have limited experience with the car. And the dealer is pretty far away and setting up more test drives is a hassle. Meantime you know of some knowlegable people who have a lot more experience than you do with the vehicle. Admittedly they don't necessarily have the same driving style as you do, nor do they drive it on the same roads, the same commute, etc., so they can't apply their knowledge exactly to your situation. BUT, their greater experience with the vehicle means that before you go to the trouble of doing another test drive, they can offer the benefit of their experiences by typing a couple of sentences on a website. Seems to me its wortwhile to ask...no sweat if you disagree. Actually Riley804 e-mailed me offline and he and I have had a very helpful exchange in which he made a number of suggestions based on his experience. Best, --dan |
I had a 50" rear projection LCD TV on a dedicated stand between my speakers and had the same concerns. See the thread here. The perceived problems I had were minimized depth of soundstage, sound clarity, and visually having a huge obstruction directly in front of my line of sight that psychologically added to the decreased illusion of depth. i have since removed it and replaced it with a wall-mounted plasma. All of the above issues have been eliminated or improved significantly |
