Ok, thanks for that info. I'm sure that my Monoliths are outside of their life expectancy. Sadly, I haven't given them a listen since before 2016. And also, I have failed to do regular vacuuming, so I guess I would deserve it if they sound horrible now.

Hi Jon, what a pleasure to see this thread come alive again, and to hear from you!! I'm still regretting my chance to meet you and hear your system when I was touring in the Atlanta area. Honestly, so much audio and video equipment(including 2 Sony 4K 3D TVs) are blocking access to my Monoliths...

I think that Jonathan (JonFo) would be pretty well suited to tackle your questions. Maybe you could send him a message.

Thanks, I now understand better what I must do to save my tweaked settings. However, I still have the problem of not being able to get back to the config file settings that I started off with. When I try to download the 2x4 program that you said would be closest to what I want, it loads without...

Hi Jonathan, A couple of buddies came over tonight, and one brought his calibration mic and RTA. They were both extremely pleased with the uncalibrated sound of my system, using the 2 x 4 config file that you created. However, when we got around to running pink noise and making adjustments in...

I've got a friend( the same guy who set me up with the Mclelland xover) who is willing to help me with things. He has a very nice calibration mic and a large RTA with an LED display that he used when he was over last time. He's willing to build me an audio interface if I buy the parts, and he...

REW is now installed on the laptop. I'm not really sure what my mic is, or what calibration file to use. First, I should probably check to see if I know someone who has the Behringer ECM8000 microphone. Adrian

Actually, its not so much the LEDs, its the display screen. When the room is darkened for serious listening, I get light streaks in my eyes, since the unit is right in front of me, between the speakers. Perhaps I can work on moving the 260 to the eq rack to my right. Is it really ok for all the...

Alright, I'll do some reading. I guess this means that the 260 will not be doing any auto correction of the room or anything, since I'll be doing all the changes myself. Hey that's ok, as as I have you to guide me. So, is there any way to dim or turn off the display screen on the 260? It's so...

OK. If there's anything that you want suggest concerning getting started with REW, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I'll just try it out and ask questions later. Thanks. Adrian

I now have a calibration mic that should have a 20 to 20 response, but I don't have an interface yet. It will plug directly into my laptop, but I know how you feel about that. It might be fun to try it anyway, until I get the interface. This mic was borrowed from the manager of a well know hifi...

Actually, it's already worth it, since the sound right now is quite superior to what I had before, even with the ML Exos xover. The measuring and tuning hasn't even started, so I know that I'm going to have something really special after I get comfortable with all this. It's like this: I own...

Last night I stayed up later that I should have, and got the 260 connected to my new laptop successfully! What's funny is that I still had to download the software and install it, as well as matching up the com ports. I followed the exact same procedures on both laptops, except it worked on the...

Oooohhhh, ran out of time, and didn't get to play around with the 260 tonite like I wanted to. I let it play music all day to burn in a bit more, and got to listen for just a bit. Man, it's really opening up, and the sound is very sweet. It's amazing how bright and harsh the sound was at the...

Wow, the brightness issue I heard in the 260 at first is gone! The unit is brand new and needed to burn in for a few hours. I listened again late last nite, and got the most gorgeous sound from the Monoliths. This is the best they have sounded so far, and I'm only at the beginning of the...
