Grammar Trap Alert! Inappropriate use of the word isolated. A further elucidation of your question would be helpful, Tom, although I thought my post was clear. What are you trying to say? Define "it." Define "isolated." Define "emissions." Define "closed system."
Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs
I just bought 15 HTFs and will also be making about a dozen of Ozzie's homemade models. While I will re-fresh myself with SR's placement tips, and I get that I will have to do some experimenting to tailor the HFT effect to MY listening room; are there any "Advanced HFT Placement Tips" some of you would like to share with us? Something that might be overlooked by many of us? Or maybe, just a good rule-of-thumb tip for someone just starting to use these?
The tips could be tips for bring out more highs, solidifying the bass response, placement hi vs low, in front of vs behind speakers, on side walls, at reflection points, behind the listener, on the ceiling above the equipment or above the listener, on the equipment.
Any ah-ha that you would like to share? I would also be very interested in hearing from people using Magnapans.

Todd & Ozzy Thanks for adding so much value to this thread. Just to put s capstone on my participation, I have to admit when I did my final placements I totally forgot about adding any Ozinators to the tops of my Magnepans. Even when I read about your success with them on top of your speakers it didn't initially register any response in me. Finally I asked myself why hadn't I tried them again on top of my speakers too. So, I did! Talk about your missing piece of the puzzle. Immediately I was treated to the return of the zing and zip that had been missing in my high frequencies. The overall sound became a little more spacious too. Funny thing, with the placements on top of my Maggies, pointed directly at the ceiling, I was able to move away from my sole use of the very large, heavy resonators I built and I ended up using two pair of Todd's smaller designs for my four speakers. Todd's resonators were very good at bringing out the life in my high frequencies. I am now one happy clam! So, I now have twelve Ozinators in my system and a big smile on my face! Thanks guys. Happy listening, and if you're ever in Milwaukee,,,,,,, |
That’s great to hear! (See what I did there?) It really is quite amazing that these tiny little things actually make a difference.. thanks for starting this thread. I was interested in DIY HFTs, but couldn’t find anything on the web. Then this lovely thread popped up that same week. Talk about good timing! I’ve begun to put my resonators in hidden spots around my room where I notice a bit too much sound pressure from low frequencies or audible ringing from highs and they are definitely helping dissipate the problems |
hi toolbox, I found the thread extremely interesting,i ordered 15 hardline copper cones large as ozzy suggested,and i m struggling choosing the copper caps.
