Lalim rin ng knowledge mo sa various music genre pards!!

Jazz records are not only highly enjoyable to listen to, they tend to hold or appreciate their dollar value as well overtime. So I'm constantly on the lookout for excellent condition ones.

Yep, that's true getting a very good album would appreciate its value overtime, just like buying a rolex it always increases it's value thru the years.

Wow! Congrats!

Bro, how did you measure your speaker placement? Mine's a square room. If I strictly follow the Cardas method (calculator), the speakers are like in the middle of the room. Thanks

Hey Jen, I just followed the Cardas technique. My room is 12 x 25 feet, rectangular shaped, so I guess kaya hindi nasa gitna.

Thanks bro!

My room is 188inches x 158inches...so converted to feet that's about 15.7 x 13.2 feet...Square-ish room...What do you suggest as speaker placement?

I think you can still use Cardas for measurements especially for the short wall. Then make some adjustments so it's not at the room's centre spot. If you can place speakers at least 2 feet away from the back wall, that would be nice. I've found out Harbeths like ample free space around it. Mine is about 4.5 feet from back wall, and 3 feet from sides.

Thanks bro! Will try that...however 4.5 feet from back wall seems to much space...space eater...if I cut the measurements into 2, i.e. 1.5ft from side walls and 2.25ft from back wall, will I still create a "golden triangle"?

I believe so pare :) And then see how it sounds. Sabi nga nila, moving speakers around the room is a free tweak that can have outstanding results.
