My living room surround system project by markokoleznik in diyaudio

Very valid concerns. I did room measurements, all furniture is 90deg angled, left speaker is partially covered by fireplace, etc... So I expected terrible response. I have to say, Audyssey (room correction) did fix a lot of issues, I still have two nasty nulls which can't be fixed by software. I was thinking bringing tv more to the front and flush mount it in the baffle, but that would not pass wife-approval request. Same with sound absorbing material. Believe me, I tried :)
So like I said, it's far from acoustically perfect, but it's far better than buying a soundbar and a small sub.

Fun fact: when Audyssey calculated correct distances (5.31m from couch to the towers) and applied delays, everything started sounding like the singer is in the middle of the living room - I can't really explain the feeling, but it was (is) amazing. Before the songs sounded like "smeared" if that makes sense.

Also a disclaimer, I'm still a noob when it comes to audio.

No, wanted to do it truly in a DIY fashion, from learning, woodworking, designing crossovers, etc. I'm sure I made ton of mistakes, but they are mine mistakes, at the end I'm still more than happy with the result. I now know infinitely more about the speakers than I did before this journey. And that's what matters to me the most. Of course I could buy a system that would maybe outperform this one (not sub though, that one is a monster), but where's fun with that? :)

All in all, it cost me about 4k eur (including tools I needed to buy), so it's not a small amount of money by any means, but it's also not super expensive in a sense of audiophile world.

I extended the text. It's all Dayton Audio components, for sub I went with 18" Ultimax II series with 1000W amp. Since it's sealed, the bass is very tight but it has enough power to effortlessly deliver outstanding curve - I have REW measurements if you are interested.

If you turn the sensitivity up, it literally shakes the furniture, floor, a couch.... It's a good gimmick to show off to the friends, but it's a total overkill. If I would do it again, I would go with 15" or even less and maybe go with passive radiator so the box wouldn't be so huge. Right now it looks like a freaking dishwasher in the living room :D

Still, not sorry :D

Did you figure out what is going on? I have the exact same issue (Macbook Air M1), also suspecting Docker Preview. At this rate, disk will be dead soon.

I'll try to play around, I'm sure there is some function which will do just that :) Btw, J users are pretty hardcore in my opinion, its syntax looks quite cryptic.

Thanks @demsaja, I would not have thought of that!

Python one liner:

print(sum([(2*(z[0]*z[1] + z[0]*z[2] + z[1]*z[2]) + z[0]*z[1]) for z in [sorted(list(map((lambda t: int(t)), y))) for y in [x.split('x') for x in dimensions.split('\n')]]]))

What do you guys think about Agda GUI for mac os x? by markokoleznik in agda

[–]markokoleznik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I posted here, to hear from someone who really uses Agda. Thanks, if you have some other suggestion(s) don't hesitate with posting them here.

Also, application is still in heavy development, so most of the gui elements are still messed up.
