Synergistic Research Upgrades
^^^ Infection ... Here's a link to the HFT thread. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/synergistic-research-hft-s |
I noticed some of you using synergistic research HFT and black box with traditional bass traps. I currently have GIK bass tri-traps, mega bass trap and 242 panels in my dedicated 2-channel listening room, I believe some of you using GIK products too. From what I read on the SR website, their black box seems to have the similar effects as bass traps, is that correct in your experience? Have you tried SR HFT and black box with or without bass traps? If yes, do you prefer to use them together? Thanks. |
@zheng4 regarding your question on SR HFTs and other room acoustic treatments -- my room has a full complement of HFTs as well as the ART system and a full set of ASC room treatment including full size bass traps in each corner. The three systems are complementary, Think of the ASC stuff as firstly minimizing the impact of the room itself by making it as neutral and smooth across the frequency range as possible. The SR stuff then has the effect of moving the walls out -- it somehow makes the room seem larger -- you can also fine tune things by adding or removing a HFT or two, or a ball on the Vibratron. While I do have a set of four ART bass stations I have never tried the black box -- I find the former work well and their presence is notable, I would imagine the black box would also work well but I currently don't really have room for a pair of them |
