RT60

Testing with ETF and checking the RT60 plot I have big spikes at the low end. The mid and high frequencys are around 300ms but the low end spikes peak at around 3sec.
Equalization can correct room mode peaks and nulls but what about the resonance times? Are the measurements accurate? Is this a real problem?

Power Amp Recommendation for Infinity QLS

I recently inherited a set of humongous Infinity QLS speakers. They were sitting in my late uncle-in-law's living room since the mid-70s, when he bought them new. They look to be in good condition, albeit pretty dusty.

Can anyone recommend a moderately priced power amp with enough power to drive these? I'm new to the stereo world, but love '70s progressive rock and would have fun building a system. Thanks!!

As Quiet as the Day

Things are quiet now. Kristina's iPod has gone to sleep. Aside from some street noise — a passing siren or a honking horn — the only music in our office comes from the printer. Soon these coarse black and whites will be colorful glossies. These proofs will grow to be the pages you turn.

Jon Carroll: Still a Giant Among Writers

Today's Jon Carroll column doesn't <I>exactly</I> answer yesterday's link to Clay Risen's critique of Claire Hoffman's Joe Francis story (man, is this blog getting self-referential or what), but it does neatly expose Risen's glaring flaw: Journalism isn't just one thing.

Prediction

I hereby predict that there will be a resurgence in classical music listening driven by the upcoming generation! Why?

I just read the list of top ten classical albums in the Philadelphia region as published in the Philadelphia Inquirer of August 6, 2006. Listed in spots 2, 7 and 8 are Baby Einstein albums. Surely with all those babies being exposed to classical music through the Baby Einstein series the future is bright for classical music!
