Ron’s New System

[bonzo75]

Not a fair question. Ron wanted to switch back but was in a bind and couldn't switch back because the original crossover was returned to Clarysis for upgrading over the summer. If I recall correctly, they had the crossover for several months. The revised 12db/octave crossover arrived back at Ron's exactly 1 day before I did, which was fortuitous. Otherwise, we may have just spent the weekend listening to a Sonus soundbar! (Or, we would have likely spent more time at Pat's listening to his uber system!)

Ok that makes sense - it wasn’t clear he wanted to switch back before

Thank you, Marty. This all is correct.

I am a big believer in A/B/A. We didn't put them back after removing them, so I'm not sure what differences I heard.

Robbes, who formerly was a recording engineer, was confident that "the soundstage opened up."


Yes; Marty thinks subwoofers are totally unnecessary in my system.


Maybe more subwoofers for that ham sandwich?

(But a subwoofer would not be another tower.)

Oh, I thought you were quite enamored of the REL six pack.

Respectfully Ron, you may be churning your impressions of the sound of your system because many of your visitors seem to be making changes to your system to satisfy their preferences. You very often report on what others think, but rarely describe your own listening impressions. Frankly, I’m quite surprised you don’t remember, or you don’t know, the differences you heard with those tube traps in the front corners versus having them removed from the room. I commend you for your seeming willingness to have visitors experiment so freely to improve the sound of your system. At some point, I am hoping that you describe the sound of your system in your own words in your own system thread so that we get a truer sense of what you think.
