The best sounding rooms are always someone else's room since you know you can't start changing stuff and you just relax and enjoy it 😁

I have a cheap amp, old CD player and $200 JBL's, I moved them out of the corner about 18 inches, WOW.

This channel has evolved in a great way. Less rant. More incredibly understandable content. I attended a Floyd Toole seminar in the 90's at a trade show. I learned more in 90 minutes than I ever thought possible. I still have the info packet with hand drawn examples of wave propagation etc. I still use as reference material.

I finally changed from an 11 foot, velvet overstuffed couch to a leather fully tufted 10 foot Chesterfield couch. It greatly improved the bass response in resolution/texture below 100 hz. Seating was more secure rather than sunken while at the same effective seat height. There are sooooo many room variables, even in my great listening room but the speaker that has superior dispersion really helps.

Best sound I had, ever had .. was a decent 12 volt portable system ( tape player thing) in my old 3.5t van with an old pair of proper speakers... <br>Parked up in a field, still misty night , Gong Shamal playing, sitting 50ft away.... wow.... not even smoking weed. <br>Outdoor listening is brilliant 😊

Thanks for the useful, common sense information! Watching me doing a sub crawl, my spouse thought I wasn't playing with a full deck. Pulling the speakers four feet into the living room, she knew I was off my rocker and stated the common sense thing to do was to not having something to trip over in the middle of the night to avoid breaking a hip. Hard to argue with that. I'm putting up homemade absorption panels on the walls to reduce the reflections in the space.

A "wall of bass" sounds epic. I want that.

I love that you showed an M88A1 as a bass sound wave unit of measure, that's my new way of referring to bass, in 88s.

Quite possibly the best and most straightforward explanation I've seen - really nice. Thanks.
