- Hopefully this one will work ok, very difficult to film ... Part 3 shows how to position speakers and fine tune them. The music sequences are possibly the funniest thing I've done so far... apologies to Benny Hill
Thank you. This is a really helpful video. Looking forward to more videos.
Love over gold-what an album-private investigations-I was listening to it yesterday evening 👍👍
Great video and information, yet again! Just listening to the Steve Miller track you mentioned! I like it! 👍
excellent video...really useful
Really enjoyed the video it was very helpful. I’d be interested to see a review of the Exposure 3510
Good idea :-)
My listening room is square (5mtr) positioning is a problem with bass especially. Rega RS5’s Good Video Sir well done..👍
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on Dirac and similar room correction software.
You have to have a pretty big livingroom to get the right sound from the speaker!
In my listening room, I am finding that the ideal placement positions are the same or very similar, regardless of the make and model of speakers being used. Do you concur with this, or are you having to rediscover the sweet spots for every new pair you introduce to your dem rooms? By the way, Thomas Dolby’s ‘A Map Of The Floating City’ has some great songs and lovely recordings on it too, if you haven’t already checked that out.
So enjoying your videos- just wish you were closer! Wondering if you have any experience/ thoughts on loudspeaker isolation? For some time now I've not used floor spikes feeling that the sound is more organic and natural without them. I know...heresy! But now Townshend and IsoAcoustics both make isolating platforms following a different line of thinking to spikes. Definitely worth considering in principle, if not (very expensive!) practice.
It’s all about controlling the resonance... spikes make the speaker rigid to stop any contra vibration, but can excite the floor too much, things like the Townshend bars isolate them completely and stop any two way low frequency noise... they are very very good... but as you say, expensive. I have a pair here
Have you watched New Record Day's video LOTS? He has a very specific method to determine loudspeaker placement and I tried it to great effect.
What's about Larsen speakers from Sweden! Aĺl off them are close the Wall!
I'm also eyeing on the exposure 3510. How much improvement do you think 3510 have over 2510?
It justifies the price difference, theres a lot more dynamic scale from the 3510....
@@cheshireaudio Thanks, indeed I just got the 3510 and the low end, the depth is way beyond 2510
I’d love a Cheshire audio t shirt and mug 😀😀
Ha .... we don't sell the T Shirts (as yet) it would need to be quite a big investment with all the different sizes ... Mugs yes :-) see link : www.cheshireaudio.co.uk/acatalog/Cheshire-Audio-mug-1515.html#SID=242

@@cheshireaudio Received with thanks-will be drinking my favourite coffee out of it shortly with pride 👍👍👍👍
@@depechem0demusic Brilliant :-)
Hi sir a couple of questions No 1 would you ever consider placing the equipment between the speakers so reducing the length of the speaker cables and No 2 do you keep a record of the placement of a particular speaker so as to save you all that work when you demo another type of speaker 😂 great stuff as always . Best wishes and kind regards. 👍👍👍
Generally I find that keeping the space between the speakers free improves things more than the extra cable degrades .... I don't actually keep a record of position, but I'm pretty familiar with most designs now so I only need to fine tune a little..... thanks again Michael. Incidentally, your requirement for a headphone socket on a certain amp is going to be addressed on the new version due at the end of the year .... though I'm not supposed to say :-)
@@cheshireaudio blimey now I don’t know what to do ,I’d decided on Rega Elex r and the ear mr2 , so now I’m thinking should I wait . Ha ho such is live . Thanks for the heads up bless you. Best wishes and kind regards as always 😀👍👍👍. Ps have they upgraded the amp as well ?
@@Mc674boThe Rega Ear Mark 2 headphone amp sounds sublime with my sennheiser/Naim setup
The turntable speed was too fast on that last record.
It would have been the perfect speed for yakety yak😁
