Hi eddy,

I don't doubt that having quality acoustic instruments in your listening room is effecting the sound. Resonances create sound. Ever noticed sympathetic woofer movement of unused speakers in your listening room? Snares rattling and drum head vibrations from drums exposes to certain frequencies of sound? Deliberate use of the sympathetic resonances of quality acoustic instruments (not unused speakers lol) to the benefit (or detriment) of room acoustics is as solid in theory as using the many audiophile devices sold to do the same thing.

I think that controlled experimentation in type, quantity, and placement of the instruments is the key.

Best to you  eddy,
Dave
folkfreak, no, that's Precisely what I meant, but just got my authors' 'spun'...to place a pun on my goof....

Memory fails....aging 'wetware'...along with all the other stuff.  If it don't hurt, it don't work, more or less. *sigh*

Thanks for the correction, tho'...there's a little cartoon vid of a city taking off for those following the magic mouseklicks re Blish and the CIF series, BTB...major urban renewal technique potential there... ;)
dlcockrum/Dave...No offense taken, so no problem exists. *G*  As a southern CA native and a 'child of the 60's', much too laid back to take umbrage.  Besides, I suspected there was a sly snicker in there... ;)

"A ridiculous motor"....Having grown up in and with L.A. 'kar kulture' (drag strips, highly 'massaged' vehicles, 'rat bikes'....you name it, I've seen and heard it...), I have too many clues as to what that could encompass.  First thought was a nitro-burning 2 stroke bike motor....potentially a 'one run' motor...*HowwwwlBANG!*  That could be expensive entertainment...;)

...but I have a rather odd take on things....*G*

Yeah, AVL's a cool place to hang one's hat.  Got a brewery and good pizza joint a 10 min. stroll away from this desk.

 I  must   show   Restraint   .  Daily.  *L*
@asvjerry I'd hate to send someone off looking for that Heinlein reference 😉 which actually seems to be an obscure book of his. Besides Blish could use some more attention, he's a sorely underrated author

@dlcockrum  Hi Dave. You hit the nail right on the head! I have none of my guitar amplifier cabs (or combos) in the room for just this reason. They will act as passive radiators.

The beginning of a new thread........ Hmmm.   Perhaps.   


Best to you Dave
