RE: Another First Reflection Trap (FRT) Adventure : Quasi-Ambiophonics

@JBen:

"MG-bert, I know the challenge that you are so creatively tackling. It can't be easy, if I judge by a little on-the-fly experiment I did.

Last year my neighbor had to rebuild a long wall that became water damaged. A load of drywall was brought in for the project. However, the contractor was delayed; hospitalized for a few days after an accident. So, I asked my neighbor to loan me a few pieces of the drywall for a day.

With it, I "shortened" my room from 12x25 or so to 12x12. It was an audio disaster compared to its usual sound. I suppose that I could have fixed some of the things that changed so radically. In fact, had I had more time I would have applied some of the lessons you had already shared, for I remembered your earlier posts on the subject.

With this in mind I was about to ask my neighbor for an extra day. Just then my wife, who had gone to visit her mother, called. She decided to return earlier than planned.

That was the end of the experiment right there. LOL! Had she walked in while the mess I made was still on...I would have joined my neighbor's contractor in the hospital. "

LOL! That's why in my castle, the rig lives in it's own outbuilding... er, shed. My better half never goes there, and since it's a shed, the pressure is off to neaten up either during or after an experiment. Besides, that way I don't have to introduce the Maggies to our cats...

And wow! A full 12' X 12'! At least 20 square feet bigger than my space. Can't imagine what you did with all that extra room! Oh wait, you have the truncated corners, don't you? That would complicate a nearfield setup a bit.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words about creativity. We just rewatched the "Dinner with Schmucks" movie; am I a candidate? ;-)

I apologize if I already posted the link below, but a while ago I had the good fortune of having a pair of Maggie-owning audiophiles who regularly post on the Planar Circle come out to the wilds of Western Maryland to visit the shed. Although this was before I came up with the present FRT configuration, they did hear my so-called mini-FRT setup. Spoiler alert: they seemed to be impressed, and I am proud of what got pulled off in my tiny space. Maybe you can compare what you heard in your room to their take?
