Sure Sonnie, I'd love to have you come over. We live in the Northwest area (Centennial). Torture recliners? Ha, they are massage chairs. Marcus

Two years later, here's an update. The WAF (wife approval factor) is completely violated here. I've done my best to accommodate her sensibilities. We came to agreements that allowed me to keep the speakers about five feet out from the front wall. I tried using sliders but these 100 pound...

Hi Folks, Normally, I listen to surround classical music. We travel in our RV occasionally. Also, sometimes, it is not convenient to use my surround system. What to do? About a year ago, I purchased the Topping G5 DAC and Meze 109 Pro headsets. Topping offers a driver for my Windows 11...

Good Luck! I love my S88 DAC. Mitch Barnett created my filters because I didn't even want to attempt it. Audiolense XO worked perfect.

Follow up: I've used Mitch's 3rd (and final) filterset for several days now. Since I'm retired, I had plenty of time to listen to music. I'm completely satisfied using the filterset. The changes are subtle but impressive. The filterset improves the full range of frequencies. We discussed...

Let me see if I can locate the measurement and Mitch's simulated response. The system I described above is dedicated to music only. I have a 4K BluRay player, another computer for ripped movies and an NVidia Shield for streaming. They each connect via HDMI to my Marantz pre/pro. I use...

Absolutely! He's been wonderful to work with and extremely patient with me. I absolutely LOVE the speakers. The soundstage and depth are superb. Instrument and vocal clarity puts the performance in the room with me. For anyone interested, Spatial Audio has a thread on Audio Circle. I also...

Here are a few photos of my room (all from the MLP). The specific listening (home theater) area is 15 feet wide by 30 feet long. But, this is part of a "great room (including kitchen and dining area) which makes the entire space 40 feet wide. Ceiling is vaulted 11 feet up to 14 feet. -- Front...

I use Audiolense XO, Version 6.20, with a multichannel (5.1) music system. I recently completed several sweeps and hired Mitch Barnett (Accurate Sound) to construct the filters. We've gone through three filter iterations. The last filterset sounds fantastic. My system: - Dedicated music...

Hi. I am knee deep in system measurements for creating DSP filters. When I use Audiolense XO, both the ExaSound DAC ASIO driver and my Umik-1 are discovered and used. However, with REW, I can select the ExaSound ASIO driver (see screenshot) and all speakers in my surround system are shown...

Carmen Gomes Inc. Up Jumped The Devil This is a wonderful Blues recording. Available for download at Sound Liaison (Up Jumped The Devil). Mixed/Mastered in DXD. Here's a live recording of one of the tracks on YouTube (Ease The Pain) Marcus

@JStewart Yes. I watched it. Lots of great information about his open baffle speakers. I have the X3 model (since mid-May, 2021). Thank you for the tag.

I recently purchased AL XO. It is installed on my Windows 10 (laptop) music server. When I launch AL XO, the setup dialog comes up (default 2.0). If I leave this alone or try a different setup and click to launch, the program disappears. When I reinstall the program, it loads just fine (and...

A somewhat robust conversation began at the Audiocircle forum about poor quality recording, mixing and mastering nowadays. This has not been my experience with classical music. There are many classical recording companies using the latest technology to produce superb music. In fact, there is...

Update. I finally installed, a couple days ago, my center channel Spatial Audio Lab X3. Most of my music is 5.0 channel SACD. Speaker placement is critical. Over the past couple months with just the left and right speakers, playing 2.0 channel Stereo, my best sound was pulling the speakers...
