[QUOTE="Steve Anderson, post: 137993, member: 630"] New DIY Mid High I was the guy down in Adelaide! I'll cover a few things in one post. Peter, was good to meet you and talk about Danley things. As Peter mentioned, the room (in Adelaide) was not at all conducive to critical listening of any kind. From what I understand,it was a last minute change from an even more inappropriate room. The roadshow organisers did the absolute best with what they had at each venue. The Sydney listening venue was probably the most revealing, it is a purpose built "real" 500 pax theatre. Ivan, the system was set up with essentially the settings you gave me back in December when the SM80s first arrived. Certainly, on measurement, it was phase coherent right through the crossover region. We (each company doing a system demo) were actually able to tweak if we wanted per venue. But time was very limited (a complete tradeshow with trailers unloading at 7am each day) and our tweaking was really limited to a quick "ears only" check, certainly no dual FFT shenanigans. Then a very quick SPL measurement was taken of pink noise to level match. Peter, the actual files used were all at least 44.1/16 bit uncompressed (with the exception of one MP3) with some being higher quality than that.
