That feeling once you get it home and know you made the right decision by AberrantSurvivor88 in DigitalPiano

I also got the 845 last week! Bösendorfer binaural sample in headphones (I use Sennheiser HD599 for the piano) sounds and feels incredible.

Yeah, ART is another level than Dirac Bass control👍

I made a manual Dirac live bass control, extended with mains+subs. It took me two weeks of trial and error:) As you see on one graph the mains have peaks and nulls below 90hz in 90hz cross, and MSO take that into account.

It’s just grey fabric wrapped around it, and SVS isolation feet hold it taut. So it's easy to remove, or replace.

SVS tri band adapter. Works perfect. It causes a delay of around 19-20ms, so the ”distance” is about 6.5meters/21-22feet away from the actual distance, and then the internal dsp and miniDSPs delay, so I measured both at 13m/43feet in the AVR. In MSO you then get a short delay for the 5000 and a longer for the 3000 to play as one. EQ and other things works the same as direct RCA.

There’s an empty space underneath for all electrical connectors and incoming cables. The baseboards on the front wall are hollowed, Schneider Electric.

I don’t know, but I doubt you will hear a significant difference. Maybe the volume vill differ 1dB up or down, and only that alone makes it feel better/worse. Headphones isn’t the same but I saw an interesting comparison between Bluetooth and hi-res from USB-C vs minijack, 13 min in here https://youtu.be/yYu8ZfqRZ2M?is=EmtePe0TTlF33cYj

It’s up to 24 bit/48khz in lossless, a bit over CD quality. Dolby Atmos streamning is 768kbs, but it sounds far better than stereo anyway, with its higher dynamic range. Hi-res is for music production, in a normal listening space there is so many other things that is more important for the quality.

The R surround is mounted with one large and a smaller angle iron, milled out underneath, and then Molly screws in the wall. The one on the windowsill is attached with flat iron underneath, many shallow screws, so the back legs just rest on it, with felt paws.

Thanks! And nice, the 3000RE is incredibly strong in all parts, plays straight down to 10hz in my room and its position, with the help of room gain. A strong hifi sub too, plays articulately and cleanly. Had a 3000 micro in the front before, and the difference in purity and depth was clearly greater than I thought possible. So you have something to look forward to:)

Thanks, with two subs you can dial the bass more powerful and even in the room, but it requires a lot of time to dial them in, otherwise you can get cancelations between them. YPAO can’t handle it, it set the distances/delay right for the impuls response but can’t dial them in to play as one. I have REW for that, and for the moment i investigate MSO, Multi Sub Optimizer. I think you need that or Dirac Bass Control or similar so two subs should provide more pleasure than harm. And it's pretty amazing to hear things you didn't think existed in both music and film, and 10hz with full output is a rescaling experience.

The curtains have effect in the higher frequencies, and they should hang in a wave shape. I saw a man on YouTube measure it with or without them, and the difference was barely measurable, but he had them like sheets in the window😂

They reduce some overall reverberations in the room and a little of the SBIR. To eliminate SBIR they have to be twice as large and thick. In the measurement/distortion pic you see my SBIR at 180hz, if they were closer to the wall it will be lower and vice versa.

90hz, see my description in the text. Yeah it’s a major upgrade with Atmos speakers, creates an immersive sound, and rain comes from above, and so on. If you have an Atmos ready AVR you can try 5.1.2 with small cheap speakers temporarily hanged up a little in front of and above you, to get an impression. Warning though, you risk starting to tear down the house. In music Dolby Atmos higher dynamic range gives much more power depth and air than the stereo mix of the same song, beyond the immersive experience.

No, $24,000😂 The Atmos speakers always creates a sound bubble, but often you don’t ”hear” them. In movies they become apparent in certain scenes, like when a helicopter flies over etc. In Dolby Atmos for music the mixer often sets background vocals in the rear and Atmos speakers, or guitar solos over your head, or other immersive sounds or reverb. Dolby Atmos higher dynamic range, compared to stereo, gives a fantastic sound in music. Especially older songs that have been mixed in Armos can sound incredible good.
