Burke’s music room is awesome. This is one of the best sounding rooms I have even listened to music in. A job well done Burke!!

Have you ever taken room response measurements? If so, would you be willing to share them with us?
I have ordered the RplusD software and microphone/preamp from Acoustisoft but it has not arrived yet. I will definately post the plots when I have them, most likely in "The Room with in a Room Project" thread.
I will write up the long story tomorrow after work.
Good stuff. Look forward to it. And respect to Roger for having the courage to supply a pair. Not an easy decision to make unless you have a lot of faith in your product. And it's an especially hard job to sway hard core ML users who are used to the ML presentation of sound.
The Sanders 10b put up a great fight, but in the end I think we all liked the Summits just a little bit better.
Truly there were no losers. Either of these speakers would make a fine addition to any high end audiophile system, you will happy with either one, each does somethings better than the others, in the end it will be a personal preference thing, as it has to be.
I will write up the long story tomorrow after work.
I'm not trying to be a pain...I really think that using a room analyzer you will be able to help you understand why one is acting the way that you think.
You might be right. I have to say I was disappointed with the 10b’s bass in that room. Since the 10b’s are very similar to my MK III’s, I know they are capable of better. The 10b’s bass actually sounded better outside the room, in the hallway at the dining room. Could that mean the room still requires some additional below ?Hz treatment? I don’t know, but perhaps measurement with the 10b’s would tell.
I would like to preface that I am no acoustical expert. Just stating a difference of opinion here and not looking to start an argument or take away from the phenomenal job Burke did with that room. Burke and I do disagree on how much of a room needs to be treated (entire or partial). My experience is limited to three partially treated rooms (one done professionally) and two before and after partial treatment with excellent results. One of the non professional rooms was similar in size to his, the other is mine and much larger. My offer still stands, come on down and hear what the bass with the MK III’s sounds like in my partially treated room.
I know there were some problems with shipping, but the remote for the active crossover should have been provided. To me, the best way to adjust the active is sitting in the listening position.
Is that the Rich with the incognito system?Pic 2 - Rich and Cherian (Rich and I had some nice analog discussion, he knows his stuff when it comes to the old TT.):bowdown:
