It’s looking good so far well done on some sweaty armpit hard work.
Oh, for pete’s sakes just get it set-up will you.
It’s looking good so far well done on some sweaty armpit hard work.
I told Huikyong that I was 95% done and that I'd cleaned out most of the construction debris, so suddenly she said, "Show me."
We went down, and she said, "You did a good job. It looks very nice."
Then, "Let me hear it."
Well, okay, so I grabbed the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon DVD-A, Alan Parson quad mix, and played it. She sat through the whole thing, actually listened to the whole darn disc with me!
I thought it might be too loud, but she was not complaining at all. "It's so clear, so open, so spacious. I don't feel like those women are screaming; their voices are beautiful, expressive, articulate." "This sounds just like a clock shop at 12 Noon. Hey, there are clocks over there, and back there, they're all over." "You know, that sounds like a real cash box. That sounds just like an old adding machine." "The bass is very powerful, but I don't feel like it's driving me out of the room. My chest is vibrating, but it doesn't sound all boomy and loud. Why is that?"
The title of the thread, "Something big is coming," never anticipated something this big. She actually loves and admires the system!
Out.
You just got the best review you could ask for from the only critic other then you that matters.
Life just doesn’t get any better then that. Job well done! Now get out some gettin busy music.
Congratulations - SAF and good sound too!!
I'll bet this is gonna be a whole lot of fun!
Wish I was closer for the tuneup sessions!
Kudos to you!

She's a keeper!
Nice job though - blending aesthetics and good sound is always a challenge, and it seems as though you've pulled it off quite admirably.
It's amazing how truly good equipment completely changes how SPL is perceived.
You're gonna have a blast with this setup!
Best,

And the system isn't even calibrated yet!
Living in the Land of the Sun
The goal is reached - audio nirvana?"This sounds just like a clock shop at 12 Noon. Hey, there are clocks over there, and back there, they're all over." "You know, that sounds like a real cash box. That sounds just like an old adding machine." "... Why is that?"
So, what is left? Glorification!
Or should I have said calibration?
Congratulations, TiDome!

Okay, we'll pick up the calibration itself here, as that is part and parcel of the JBL Synthesis® experience. While Chris assembled the equipment and patched everything together, Grumpy and I set up the mics.
Well, actually, it looks like I'm just lost.
Out.
Here we go. Mics on the seats, mics behind the seats, little boxes and wires everywhere.
Out.
...and action...
Out.
The subs come first, and there's work to do.
Out.
A little bit of this and a little bit of that (I'm totally lost now) on the software EQ controller...
Out.
...and the sub output changes to this. Woo-hoo! Solid at 20Hz and heading down into the teens.
Out.
At this point, a technical issue developed which will require a return visit. Chris was more than gracious and will come back next week. So even though the calibration isn't complete, we have everything correctly phased, placed, and the subs in fine shape.
Huikyong and I watched a movie tonight, and she simply commented: "It's the best movie experience I've ever had."
I thought, yeah, well wait 'til the rest is done.
Out.
