Audio with Pictures | Critiquing the Absent

[徐中銳]

So, when I Google search to understand better a product that's mentioned, there are listening-room images...

Well, impersonally, let's critique others (audiophiles that aren't members of CA) and learn from what we think they've done right, or wrong.

 

To begin, saw this photo from someone in Japan :

 

You can have your say first, perhaps nominate another pic...

Here's a snapshot of Art Dudley's room response:

Words, words, words.

 

Does photo proof of our listening room back up what we say and perceive from our equipment setup ?

 

Before, both me and Ricardo didn't write much. Because we can wait.

Well, let's continue.

 

Readers may have read how I feel about short cabling. I've grown to also prefer moving my speakers further away from the back wall. Theirs are too close :

Could be worse, when 1 speaker is especially close to a corner :

Can you upload a sketch of your living room floor plan?

[徐中銳]

Primary observation, the equipment sideboard protrudes into the diffusion spray of speakers. Who else favours setup racks/furniture away from directly between speakers ?

I've not time to write, will return later.

And the chair has a headrest ? Is the consensus that they adversely reflect sound, so near our head ?

I agree with both aspects of your assessment.

I'd also suggest a rug covering the area between the speakers and the listening spot.

Thx everyone!

 

a rug is easy to do - usually one is there but it was removed to try and puppy proof things

 

the Danish Modern item will be harder to eliminate but I pull the Maggies out more into the room for critical listening

 

 

here is a floor plan - there are some very large open spaces on one side - a book case is on the other side (listener's LH side)
