PSB Stratus Golds & NAD Problems

[Florian]

Well in case you change your mind go and buy a microphone and download the software and see what it really does. Will be interesting :-)

Well guys no need to buy any new software or anything else. I took your other advice and started playing around with placement, all I can say is that now i understand what all the reviews said about the golds. Basically i moved some furnture around in the room and got each speaker alot closer to each of the adjacent corners, placed in one of my favorite tunes and finally heard the Golds for the first time and managed to listen to them for two hours with no sub turned on and just smileing. The speakers are now about 18ft apart, angled slightly in to my listing chair and the soundstage is enormous, these things do play alot lower than i ever thought possible with just a 10 inch base driver. Now i just have to find a new place in the room for my sub retune it for a lower cutoff freq and things should be good. Thanks alot guys I never thought placement of a speaker could make such a positive change in my setup. Thanks again.

LOL. That's one of the things you find out quickly when you get speakers which can reproduce the deep bass! Join the club. The Stratus Gold-i is a very fine speaker. Enjoy.

The 10" bass driver is also augmented by the port, whose influence can be seen in Fig. 3 of John Atkinson's measurements.

about real measurements

[Florian]

Is this an anechoic response curve? I think you would find the deep bass response with a dipole to be quite different in a normal room.

You mean this one? Well i agree, but my measurements are takin in room

The one where you dismissed my measurements taken with my SPL meter
