Hi Here a couple of experiences I’ve had recently that illustrate how much of an impact the room has on audio systems, how some of these problems can be measured and how RoomPerfect helps address them. Yesterday I went to What HiFi to drop off a Lyngdorf 2.2 system and an additional...

I would assume that Harbeths are very revealing and present what is there warts and all. I think you'll find Lyngdorf electronics will give you more of the same. Please let us know how you get on....

The amount of correction varies tremendously but it's typically from the low 20's to high 70's - generally the more bass the speakers produce, the more correction is being used. What speakers are you using?

I agree that most people are satisfied with what they have but for me using a full range speakers, subs or Boundary Woofers is one of the biggest upgrade you can make to any system. This is something even the casual listener can appreciate and the more I hear of different peoples hifi's the more...

The general point that you make about being able to use full range speakers because of the room correction is something I completely agree with. Personally I think a system that can reproduce all the frequencies in a recording is a must but very few people have a system like this because the...

Hi Mr P Thanks so much for your feature on the bake off. I wanted to give an update but thought it was better for other people to give their views, plus business has gone a bit crazy lately so time has been limited. Like you, I really enjoyed everything that was played and found all the...

Hi R Tee Seeing as you've bought into the digital/Boundary Woofer/ EQ thing, I'd be interested to know what you thought of the matching Lyngdorfs DP1 speakers. Drive units with no cabinets around them to slow them down just seem so much more articulate. They are like more precise Jamo...

But sonically?

What's wrong with Tannoys?

I think a huge part of this is the dynamics of live music which most audio systems dont come close to being able to mimic. Great big speakers would help!

What difference does it make what the recording was?

Do you really think that it will never be possible to reproduce sound so perfectly that it will sound just like the live event?

I think the main reason that people dont measure systems is because the established names in audio have no way of correcting a problem they would be highlighting if people were so audacious as to expert their very expensive hifis to be accurate. The hifi establishment are so invested in...

Saying your speakers will match your room is like saying my jeans will fit you because we are the same height. If you measured the response of a superb speaker in a good room there will typically be variations of 15db from its intended performance. This is a huge variation that means that...

I am interested in anything that will improve performance and consistancy both from a business and as a hobby. I fully understand that most people cannot afford the systems and solutions that I recommend but would hope that it would still be of interest to people. As I've said, I like sports...
