Monitors for 10 x 13ft room, ~$1500 with stands

He did Heartbreaker? Nice.

Me, I like the Atlantic/Japan 20P2 Zepp discs he did. Still haven't heard better from LZ on CD over 20 years later.

nah, he didn't do "heartbreaker", its just my other reference recording.

He did do the Def Jam Slayer stuff and the original TVT Pretty Hate Machine.

i didn't know he did Pretty Hate Machine.

the CD credits Tony Dawsey, but Diament claims he did the mastering.

SH Forums - View Single Post - NIN - Pretty Hate Machine, different masterings?

[Dusty Chalk]

I'm willing to try the Diament suggested cardboard boxes full of crumpled newspaper in the corners method, just need to get the supplies and the time.

Say whut?

Say whut?

cheap bass traps.

Don't expect them to work well. I don't care if god himself suggested it.

Here's my suggestion: accumulate as much newspaper as you can stack from floor to ceiling in four piles. Put them in the boxes.

Notice I left out the crumpling part, so yes, I mean stacking newspapers in their original delivered format. The boxes are there to keep the newspaper stacks from falling over. The other nice thing is, if you only have enough to stack to halfway up, you can start with that, and as you accumulate more newspaper, you can keep going.

Feel free to run this idea by him.

Also, feel free to look up "ethan winer". He's got a whole forum dedicated to cheap, DIY room treatments, despite the fact of being in the business of selling them himself. Makes him a cool cat in my book.

And then when the house catches fire and goes up in minutes, call me to rebuild it.

so last night i moved most of my gear into my much larger den. katow!

sounds great. all the furniture must help with the bass and dynamics. if i can make it work space wise i might keep it in there.

[aardvark baguette]

way OT, but I once loaded up my car to the brim during a dump-run, and the bass was out of this world. Talk about cheap bass traps

[deepak]

between the furniture and the size and the room, i'm not surprised.

You've been to pj's house? I can just imagine you two getting together

Plus, no fear of fires. Or lesser, at least.

BURN MOTHERFUCKER

GET THEM FURTHER APART

seriously or is this another fire joke? i tried them a little wider but found closer together worked better.

[postjack]

well, without knowing the full layout and dimensions of this new room, i couldn't be completely serious

hehe. the current setup seems to work with my current listening position, but of course there are months and months of tweaking ahead.

If you ever use the fireplace, I would definitely recommend moving the speakers further apart and perhaps angeling them in towards the sweet spot. The only challenge will be that you may have one speaker on the area rug and one on the hardwood floor setting up some funky bass reflection issues.

i've actually only used the fireplace once. its cold here now, but i'm still in the deep south, where winter is something that happens for two weeks in january.

i am actually looking to setup the turntable right in front of the fireplace to take advantage of the stone mantle floor.

It seems like you have one of those hip candles-only fireplaces. Am I right in assuming that?

its an actual functioning fireplace, but currently there are some hip candles in there. i plan on lighting them and turning out the other lights, burning some incense, donning my trusty black robe, and listening to sunn's domkirke at maximum volume.
