    JBL and Raidho are building IsoAcoustics feet in. Where are the numbers?

    Audioholics has a piece on IsoAcoustics having its strongest year yet, with JBL, Raidho, Marten, LUMIN and EMM Labs integrating its isolation technology into their own products. The new GAIA-TITAN Neo is apparently already finding its way into flagship loudspeakers ahead of a consumer launch...

    A finished 7.2.4 Klipsch room, and the owner still hasn't calibrated it

    Somebody posted a 7.2.4 Klipsch build this morning that's essentially done on the construction side, and his own list of what's left is the interesting part: audio calibration not dialed in yet, acoustic panels still to go up around the room, more automation wanted. That order is backwards, and...

    Isolation feet keep turning up as factory fit - what is everyone hearing?

    Audioholics have a piece on IsoAcoustics having their best year yet, with JBL, Raidho, Marten, LUMIN and EMM Labs among the brands building the isolation tech into products rather than leaving it as an aftermarket add on. The GAIA-TITAN Neo is apparently already going into flagship speakers...

    Someone posted a bedroom setup asking whether the equilateral triangle rule is a make-or-break thing, and it is worth pulling apart because that rule gets repeated here like scripture. Their numbers were roughly ten and a half feet back from the speakers, about nine feet of separation, and a...

    Speakers 9 feet apart at 10 feet back - close enough, or a problem?

    A bedroom setup post caught my attention because the numbers in it are the ones people agonise over for no good reason. Roughly ten and a half feet back from the speakers, the pair about nine feet apart, and the question is whether the room needs rearranging to widen that spacing because...

    Room within a room in a garage conversion, and the scope screen just landed

    There is a garage conversion build doing the rounds on r/hometheater that is worth a read for the construction detail alone. It is a room within a room: 100mm RW3 in the cavities, Soundbloc plasterboard, two layers on isolation rails for the two exterior walls. Then on top of the shell, four...

    Two SB-1000 Pros instead of one bigger sub - the follow-up post nobody writes

    There is a thread on the home theater sub that I wish more people would copy. Guy posted a while back saying he had upgraded to an Onkyo TX-RZ30 and a pair of B&W 603s and was underwhelmed by the low end and slightly overwhelmed by the top end. The replies mostly told him not to buy more...
