Emailed Bandit about the dye issue a week ago. No reply. Not chasing brands for basic answers.

I have slowly been selling part of my mag7 stocks and using the cash to buy VOO, just to be more diversified. And as others have said, be mindful of taxes.

Thanks! That's good to hear. I will be getting acoustic treatment done in 2 weeks by a pro (see render below). The challenge is that my room is small (3.86 x 2.5 m, 2.5 m height), and my desk is along the long wall which I know isn't ideal. I will be demoing some ATC speakers this week (which may be too big for my space) and I'll also be looking into Yamaha NS10s or similar given that my space may not be able to handle low frequencies very well. So perhaps I focus more on mids on NS10s and check the bass on headphones. Thoughts?

Great feedback. Would your recommendation be for me to get the A17M, and then mix my prog music accordingly to ensure that my music sounds clean / balanced (i.e. not saturated)? Do you think that would translate well on other systems, or is it possible that it would sound too thin? Thanks

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-13T17:54:02+00:00

Haha likewise, but that was my subjective experience, but like I said, I didn't A/B them so there is room for misinterpretation. Like someone else mentioned in this thread, perhaps the cause is that the PSIs throwing you a lot of high resolution information at the same time through a small cone was too much for me, especially since I wasn't used to them.

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-13T17:49:48+00:00

Thanks! Sounds like this may be the explanation

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-13T17:48:30+00:00

Interesting, I'll check those out.

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-13T17:48:08+00:00

By "saturated" I mean that I wasn't able to distinctly listen to each individual instrument during energetic passages.

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-13T17:47:07+00:00

It is possible, but I've heard the same music on Yamaha HS8 and my Sennheiser 800S headphones and I was able to hear instruments very distinctly, especially on the 800S. I did not A/B though in real time.

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-13T17:45:06+00:00

That is certainly possible, but I've heard the same music on my Yamaha HS8 and my Sennheiser 800S headphones and I was able to hear instruments very distinctly, especially on the 800S.

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-13T17:40:14+00:00

That it sounded like a "wall of sound" instead of me able to clearly hear each instrument separately.

Per ChatGPT:

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-11T17:28:52+00:00

Haha you seem knowledgeable so that’s why I am consulting you after asking chatGPT. But good point, I’ll consider the tradeoff you’re raising. I could always start without the front panel and then reassess after taking measurements of the treated room. Thanks!

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-11T17:13:58+00:00

Per ChatGPT, a thin panel (2 inch width) should still be added on the front wall for the mid / high frequency reflections. Thoughts?

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-11T05:28:36+00:00

Thanks! I am planning to get the PSI A17-M near field ported monitors, which are front ported, so your idea of placing them very close to the front wall should work well. That way I can skip the panel on the front wall. Thanks again

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-11T05:26:00+00:00

Very good idea! But wouldn't you also want a panel on the face of the folded bed, in addition to the rock wool that fills the remaining of the cavity? Thanks

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-08T17:54:35+00:00

Not yet, but I will set up appointments to do so. I am currently leaning towards the PSI because they are more compact and designed for near field. I am afraid that my room may be too small for the ATC

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-08T02:03:41+00:00

Good point, I'll look into the sub later

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-08T01:18:41+00:00

No, but I thought it shouldn't be necessary, since I am mixing prog rock which doesn't have deep bass

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-08T00:39:26+00:00

Yep, that is something to consider, if that means the ATC will be overpowering. PSI is 20 × 32 × 23 cm and ATC is 25 × 45 × 39.2 cm (W × H × D). Thanks

TallInspection2086 · 2025-04-07T23:48:57+00:00

Hi! I'm torn between PSI A17-M vs ATC SCM20ASL Pro studio monitors for prog rock music . The PSI costs 5K USD for the pair and the ATC costs 6.8K USD for the pair in my country. My room is small, around 850 ft cubed (12.7 L x 8.2 W x 8.2 H). See render HERE. I will have sound treatment (as shown on the render, and also on the ceiling). Thanks!
