One day the realization happens. It’s a realization that should have happened before one even got into the car and started driving down the hi-fi highway. It’s the realization that you must have a room that will allow you to hear what your system is capable of producing. By building your own listening room, you have realized that you no longer need to spend money chasing a small increase in resolution or dynamics with new speakers and amplifiers and placing that gear in a room that may or may not let you hear that extra 10 K you just spent for a new amplifier or speaker. You have realized that spending more money on gear without a proper listening room is not the way to go. It never has been. It never will be.

What material was used for the flooring?

@michaelhope007 3 года назад

No artificial room correction here. No DIRAC or any of that bullshit. Thats what really annoys me. Speaker designers go to great lengths to get flat frequency response and dickheads want to immediately correct them to compensate for the their room. Really nice work guys showing how it should be done. No bullshittery here. LOVE IT HUGH.

What I love about Hugh and your work is that it really is ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC / RECORDING. A lottery win and I'm calling you up. I have a very simple system in a med sized room and my simple little Nautilus 805s completely disappear. I can only imagine what it's like when you have the luxury of a very well designed room. Hugh may you have many many years of enjoyment out of this great accomplishment.

What are the minimal dimension you can design to effectively? I like to do some preliminary planning to see what are my options and get an idea of cost involved.

@artkulak9802 3 года назад

Great room!!!!!!!!!! Glad to see more people doing this and paying attention to the most important component - the ROOM (other than the recording - recording engineer is king). However I must take issue with Mr. Foley's assessment "close your eyes and the speakers disappear". IMHO the speakers should disappear WITH your eyes OPEN (too). And it should capable of "take you there" more so than "in the room".

Would love to A/B the Live vs the in-room 24/192 recordings on your system, ha! And is that the Aavik C-300 that Hugh is using as his system Preamplifier?

@timm7128 8 месяцев назад

uh I see the point, but I would be worried about early reflections even from the diffusion behind the speakers....very little absorption on the ceiling etc

@AcousticFields 8 месяцев назад

No need to worry when you have understanding. In simple terms, quadratic diffusion takes large reflections and breaks them down into smaller ones. The amount of ceiling absorption is calculated based upon room usage with its associated energy requirements. Client is satisfied with the sonic quality.

@timm7128 8 месяцев назад

@@AcousticFields yea but I don't want the original signal colored by early reflections even if it is diffused. I guess maybe in this setting a less clinical one is more of what you want. Obviously diffusion you can do a considerable markup in price for a client than absorption. I'm assuming this space would be more excellent for a type of recording space/quintet/quartet.

@ericdutt3582 3 года назад

Learned a lot from this video. I'm sure it sounds amazing! I have one question. Why did you choose a rectangular room (with golden proportions) when you could have built any shape you wanted? The reason I'm asking is that most software calculates rectangular rooms more easily, yet several of the best sounding acoustical halls in the world are in fact not that shape. Ceiling not parallel to the floor, side walls tapered (slightly wider room in front - narrower in rear), slight tilt on front wall etc. I get that you don't want to miniaturise a large hall due to the shorter distances and quicker response of a smaller space, I don't understand why we start with rectangular rooms. Why not the Epidaurus as the starting point?

@AcousticFields 3 года назад

Acoustic halls and critical listening rooms are two completely different animals. In a critical listening room, we focus all the energy on one seat. In halls, the focus is on a much larger audience with a larger sound field. Rectangular rooms are predictable and consistent in their room modal issues allowing for treatment types to be placed more effectively.
