F*ck all the sources and bla bla bla, get a set of monitors, place them with the tweeters facing inwards and run something like a snare with a delay going from left to right, now flip the monitors around and do the same thing, if you cant notice the difference you must have some sort of hearing problem... :roll:

anywho...Im outty..smoke time..not gonna sit here and go back and forth on this thread. Peace...

I wrote a paper for publication in a medical journal ("Musical Stimuli and it's Impact on Human Physiology") as the result of four years of research on audio vibrations at UMDNJ Medical School, regarding the physics of audio waves and how they impacted and affected human physiology.

I don't mean to criticize, or attract any more criticism, but I think it's unfortunate when people's main source of information is wikipedia.

Well, looks like you get your information from internet forums as well...

Anyway, maybe you should try to put information like that into perspective when you read it. If you're a researcher you should be able to do that. Saying that these effects have an influence on how to place your speakers is like saying the guy two streets away heating his stove is raising the temperature in your appartment. Yes, it's there, but simply not relevant.

I put an online reference up simply to illustrate that the information was out there. I had no idea this was going to turn onto a religious discussion. I did a 1 min search, and posted something. It was meant as a response to the comment made about hearing bass in a car down the street "the bass frequencies have WAY more strength then high". In regards to dampening, I think it describes that well.

If you disagree with something, by all means, say so (Like vsr600. A good example of conversation). But please leave out assessments of other people's character. We're all here to share a common interest. That's all.

yo did this debate start because i told someone that they had their speakers backwards? lol

pound is right.. and I dont care WHAT the science behind it is.
I mentioned earlier that the manual stated the same info about placing speakers on their sides.. but I looked and realized it was the mackie HR824 manual, not the Yamaha manual. both both yamaha hs series and mackie hr series speakers were constructed with a vertical orientation. (and I currently have a set of Mackie HR824's, Yamaha HS80's AND the HS50's which I commented on originally)

from the mackie HR824 manual:

"The HR824's were designed to be placed in a vertical position. If you find it necessary to place the speakers in a horizontal position(on their sides), place them so that the woofers are toward the inside; that is, so the woofers are closest to each other. This provides the best low frequency summing and overall imaging.


but pound is right.. try flipping the speakers with the tweets inward and listen to something, then put the in their CORRECT orientation and listen.
proof is in the pudding.. or rather.. the mix...

I think he means spiderman inspired mpc, vs new pads blacked out version

I just got into my new place. I haven't got everything up yet, but the essentials are here.


Image
Yes, I rock the panasonic bookshelf speaks. Yes I need real monitors. Don't point these things out to me, money is tight and my next move is to get an audio interface.

Image

Image
I couldn't love a human child more than this. Also, the Dre Beats and my Oxygen 8.

Image
Numark M3

Image
Gemini TT-01 for sampling

Image
Sadly haven't found a permanent place for these babies yet, but don't cry...they'll have a proper home soon.

Image
First part of the collection to be brought up.

Image
Shitty usb mic with the diy pop-screen (this is only used for demos and me messing around, the real recording happening on a buddy's audio technica condenser). Also the Squire P-Bass, starting point for a large portion of beats.

Image
Jay Tursner Strat rip-off. Fun to **** with/add some riffs over beats.

Image
B-52 LG 100A Half Stack. New edition for a ridiculously low price. Definitely gets the job done while im getting my tube amp head fixed.

All these pics were taken with my macbook's camera, thus the quality/the laptop not being pictured.
