Looks like the best of all worlds George. My speakers are 100" out from the rear wall; guess I could build some Perry Mason courtroom-type short walls four feet behind the speakers, open in the middle of course, to improve room loading...

Seems that the common agreement here is that the prettier the item, the more you'r paying for appearance vs. performance. So...it comes down to whether or not you're trying to impress your eyes or your ears in the first place. There seems to be examples of beautiful equipment that eats dust vs. 'plain Jane'. And why am I not surprised...;) |
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Big-Aluminum-Chassis-PASS-Class-A-Power-Amplifier-Enclosure-DIY-Case-Hi-End-... The parts for this chassis could not be sourced in the US for the asking price of this one. Good Listening Peter |
Sorry we are going completely off topic here with speaker placement but I now completely understand George's point. In my case I have the same side/back wall set up but the bay window is about a meter deep and it feels like the musicians are sitting deep inside the recess, sort of like orchestra seats 5 rows back. I'm sure it would be even closer to live music with nothing in the middle. Back to the original topic.... |
Vertec Tool, Inc. in Colorado Springs, CO makes Dan Dagostino and Jeff Rowland’s enclosures which are both amazing pieces of CNC machine tool work. These enclosures cost serious money to build not only due to the design work / machine time, but because the materials used are also quite pricey! http://www.vertectool.com/gallery.html |
