Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo M80HP

Great info, thanks!

That didn't go to well.

Can room temperature effect overall perceived sound quality?

only if its too hot and you had too many MGD's

The room hadn't been used until we went in it at lunch time. I turned the system on and turned it up to 75db and 80db (uncalibrated S4) and it sounded bad.
Thought it was the music, changed the cd's still not the same.
I left a heater in the room for the last two hours, I'm going to listen again tonight.
I'd drink (happily) to achieve the same enjoyment level I had last night and the night before. I don't think most of my guests would be willing to do the same.
My first "sounds like my stereo at home" comment and I can't say I'd disagree.
Nothing changed accept the amount of light in the room (I enjoy music more in a darkened room), the temperature (5°if I had to guess) and no beer.
I wasn't drinking last night so I'll rule that out.
I need to get my surrounds wired and placed and calibrate my subs in their new positions ( when I confirm the best spot for them).
Lots to do still, good thing I have a reasonable deadline.

Still happy, just need to hit play, adjust the volume and sit.

I cant speak for anyone else but for me, if my mood is wrong music just doesn't sound right. Some nights I listen to my music and I am in heaven and other's I will look at the speakers and wonder wtf. When I used to drink music always sounded great LOL. I don't think temp has anything to do with it.

Yeah, I think that's probably it. She had pretty high hopes too, expecting a concert from 2 towers.
I turned my subs on last night and got them sounding pretty good but I'll need to move them up to the front half of the room.
I have issues, think I need to start eating better, sleeping more and drinking less. It's getting busy early this year and I can't keep my head on straight...
I have to set limits to my posting too, lol, I was looking yesterday and I had made the last post in several threads here (6 on 1 page).
No promises...

Stress causes overall irritation. As I become more ancient, I find that I have less patience (ie, being #10 in line at the supermarket) & become irritated more easily at conditions of our modern lifestyle.

Anything that I do in an irritated state is not as good as if I'm my normal mellow self, ha!

Similarly, if I'm demonstrating my systems to someone, they never seem to sound as good nor as dynamic as they do when I'm the sole listener - a latent inferiority complex? Weird...

+1 to this. I always feel awkward doing auditions to strangers. I figure my system is half decent but I'm the broken link in showing it off.
