Moving house and the room

[Vinyl-ant]

Should be moving soon.

I am still not counting chickens, touching wood and tipping my hat to magpies, but things appear to be in the final stretch. It has been a huge and stressful slog to get to this stage, with prior problems and disappointments being very taxing on the ole blood pressure

It will cost us a small fortune, knowing what the current owners paid in 1983 makes me a little sick, but thats just how it is and we will no longer be living on the fringes of cracktown..

I have sat down this morning for the first time in months and stuck a record on downstairs. Its reminded me that i miss doing so quite a bit, but circumstsnces are such that its a rare occurrence with work, emmas work and the kids, minus one as shes gone to uni, but that hasnt made much difference, other than the electric bill being lower.....

The new place has a living room that is about the same length, not so deep, and higher ceilings. And a bay window.

It has an archway into the dining room which is smaller than the open plan opening here, the dining room is twice the size as this place, and again a higher ceiling.

The acoustics are rather different you can hear it straight away when you talk in there

Im hoping against hope that this system will work in there and that i can continue with the stupid fanes, which may be too big.

I have just thought to consider this, hopefully i dont have to bin off the fanes and amps for something else. I have got my friend rays mission 773s here, but emma called them 'farty little things that sound farty' whatever that means, laughed at the 5" drivers which are smaller than the whizzer on the fanes, and amazingly prefers the fanes. I also have some little mission standmounts. The f5 doesnt like either of them very much, id need more gain, an active pre at least to make it viable with something of that ilk.

And the physical space restrictions and acoustics might meant the fanes are awful

Oh wailey wailey. I suppose we shall have to see. Might be fine, might have to start spending. I dont want to..

The record is 'struttin' by dr strutt btw...

I have some 10”, 6” & 2” cone woofers and some audex elliptical drivers if u want to try diy again
Just give us a shout- anyway- where u off to?

[TheMadMick]

Not sure how feasible this might be but, have you considered firing the Fanes across the room rather than along it. Works for my mate.

[savvypaul]

I'd try the Fanes in the corners, firing down the room, but with a decent amount of toe-in...if that's possible.

Not going far, still the same town but a much nicer bit of it away from the street dealers and scrotes.

Ill just have to see where the fanes will fit and see if i can work with them
it will be a while until i can get everything set back up because i will need to build in a pair of alcoves either side of the chimney breast, one for the telly ect and the other for the system, base cupboards and panelling floor to ceiling in them with sound insulation behind it so we dont bother the neighbours. Shelving will be attached to the panelling for stuff and things

I want to hide all the boxes and just have the oracle, jbe and jvc seen. If i can.

Also want to have proper built in storage for all the records and cds, books games dvds all that sort of thing so its not all just everywhere

I dont have a rack, havent had one for years. I did have a target one on casters which would have been a perfect temporary solution but im loathe to spend on something that will not be used for long.

So it will end up being a kind of long term thing initially.

I want to get things done properly and take some time doing it, like fitting a load of wall sockets inside the cupboards ill be building rather than having extension cables all over the place, i could run a separate spur for the hifi if i wanted to then get a sparky to connect to the consumer unit. Which is in the cellar below so a nice short wiring job
There are loads of things i could do with a fresh canvas.

But the fanes are still bleedin huge

It's not that the Fanes are huge. It's more a case of there being a hell of a lot of undersized speakers out there.
Undersized from the point of view of getting good sound, especially in the bass.

Just imagine if cars were considered huge, so that most people were travelling up and down the motorways on unicycles.
