Pretty much why I gave up caring. The test lp was cut by the best process and people going. No music lp is going to be any better. Once the TT is as good as the lathe, job done.

I didn't get the chance to get round to the quad quads either, it's difficult to get round all the rooms even when not exhibiting.

Glad I finally got the chance to listen to these. Absolutely superb sound.

I had a lot of fun exhibiting at the show. I didn't have too much trouble with the speakers, as there were plenty of offers of help. I didn't get out of my room much, but Orangeart's speakers sounded absolutely superb.

Not being entirely familiar with your setup its hard to give a specific recommendation. To start measuring id recommend the umik 1, which is a calibrated usb microphone, and Room Eq Wizard. This will allow you to measure in room response and start looking at phase. Wthout a pc, the basic...

I believe it came with traktion, since I had already been using reaper I have not tried it. In theory, any VST host will work, its just a matter of getting the routing right and how to stack the VST plugins. The main reason I like reaper is the rearoute asio driver, I can use it as an...

In what way would you like to alter the phase response? do you mean the group delay of the subwoofer for linear phase? If you just mean the general phase that is altered by changing the delay. For a general sub crossover I would look at the minidsp units unless you use a pc as your...

Anything that wont support an ASIO output, so anything in the browser needs to use the loopback. I have it stable now on my setup using a separate portable install of reaper using ASIO4ALL so I can take the loopback driver of my sound card (its called "stereo mix" under recording devices, and is...

I only use huge FIR filters because I can. It would be easy to build filters with lower tap counts or even use IR filters for non critical use such as catch up TV. The main issue is software like Foobar, happily outputs its audio to reaper, everything else I have to use the loopback built...

The Behringer does come with audio workstation software which could host the VST crossovers, but I have not tried it. I like Reaper, its hugely flexible and available at a great price for individual use, and a fully functional demo. I looked at other sound cards, anything that supports ASIO...

Overall I am happy with the FCA610. It has some issues to be aware of: It can sometimes crash, needing a power reset to make it work again, this hasn't happened using it, just when I leave it on and forget to unplug it after use. It can crack and pop on settings changes and power up. I...

I tried to make the speaker measure flat at 1m, and each driver flat in the near field. I rather like room correction, but I wanted the speakers to interact with the room as little as possibe, so correction wasn't needed. Drcdesigner lets you tailor the target curve but also the correction...

I just measured the woofer slightly further back to make sure the ports output would be included. The woofer enclosure and porting were designed in winisd, the port is tuned slightly low which creates a stepped response which is then flattened in the crossover filter. Here is the before...

The crossovers are FIR, and designed in Rephase. Each driver was measured near field and the response used to build the crossover, here is an example of the mid: Each driver has its response corrected and the crossover filters saved. These are then loaded into Reaper using a convolver...

Since these are now close to finished, other than cosmetics, I thought I would post about them. My initial goal was to build an active system, that was high efficiency using the Seos-12 CD horn. Drivers were chosen by what came up on ebay, but I was looking for high efficiency, in the...
