[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 901, member: 18"] DIY Audio fest sounds like a plan. I have a potential venue in Pretoria for something that could accomodate maybe 50 people with a main listening venue suitable for cinematic material (including large sheet and mount for the projector) and a sweet spot with 20+ odd people and a couple of smaller ones that I have been discussing with hennie for initially smaller forum type meetings. First arrival times after floor-bounce are on the order of magnitude >>20ms and the speakers will need real cohones (meaning clean high output and very clean time-domain behaviour within the first 10-20 ms). Too dead for serious music listening though, but 1/2 smaller rooms might be used for bookshelfs and their ilk. note: Be warned though, you will be up against Constant Directivity large format studiomonitor type loudspeakers in a large dead-ish venue if hennie and I get to finish our planned project beforehand, unlikely to do most DIY projects many favours. :twisted: The Vifas and Scans of the world are facing some stiff compentition from the american cheapies atm it seems. Scan no longer rule the low distortion nor the stored energy roost anymore, so some interresting things are happening in teh scene. Check out some of the projects on http://htguide.com for an interesting perspective on the current state of high-end DIY. [/QUOTE]
