All of the recording studio booths I work with lagpak din. These are smaller than our rooms. I wonder how they get the mix right. That's because there are good local mixes. But then again, a lot will be heard in poor systems and rooms he he.

Lagpak din ang square-ish room ko dyan for sure. But we have to make do with what we have. For now what we need to think of when deciding on future projects is how not to make the situation worse.

You are right. That is why I haven't gone into anything I couldn't understand. Puro gear selection and speaker placement ako. But I am relieved to know the truth. Better to put time and resources on things that can be fixed.

Correct. Marami namang compromises talaga sa audio. And minsan, kahit may science di naman 100% guarantee na gaganda tunog. Siguradong may tweaks pa rin. Yun nga lang, sa science may reference ka.

My room is also very small compared to my very large horns and the dimensions of the room and speaker placement are compromised. Hangga doon lang kasi ang magagawa - room treatments and all. But I love what I'm hearing and also the people that visited my place. Kung wala akong room treatments, palagay ko puro echo madidinig ko.

I watched the videos and his other videos... Very informative esp for small rooms that most of us have, be it dedicated or other areas of our home. He mentioned that even at small room still needs to be treated at least to minimize the room's effect.

Can I suggest to sir Gino to create a thread exclusive for this subject?

I totally agree, knowing the truth & accepting it somehow lets your mind be at peace...for NOW!  >:D >:D  O0

I remember the day I ended car audio. JC sat in my car. Listened. Said car was too noisy. That was it. Stripped my car audio and flew RC helicopters.

These are nice!very good enclosure choice. Mahirap ba gawin sir? From the feedbacks I read, you might need to integrate subs for low freq support. Burn in for 100hrs and then go with normal listening level,but definitely sound will improve later on. We've heard sound refinement pa rin when our drivers reached 400hrs na.

Share ko lang..alpair 12 in trapezoid onken enclosure kuno.. ;D..currently burn in period palang and di pa fully furnish ung box..masaya naman ako sa naririnig ko lalo na pag tube amp ung ginagamit ko..

Merry Xmas and a Happy 2015 to all Mark Audio fans!

Mark Audio made 2014 a fruitful audio year for me ...... For giving me the speaker I like without breaking the bank!

I just hope this would be the same for amplificarion components for 2015! My Audio journey continues.....

1. Will try the 10P
2. A new amp or preamp to suit MA drivers
3. Room treatment tweaks for better transparency

Uy bago tong plano na to ah! Pabulong sir what you have in mind  O0

2. A new amp or preamp to suit MA drivers
3. Room treatment tweaks for better transparency




I totally agree with this, and another great thing for me is; I didn't have to hide this upgrade to my wife. She also agreed that this is the best audio related purchase I have made performance-to-price wise  ;)

Merry Xmas and a Happy 2015 to all Mark Audio fans!

hahaha pero kalokohan aside, what I liked most was your own "Cal Tjader Story". IMO every son or daughter of a true audiophile/music lover should have a story like that to share to friends  ;)
