This will be the last house that I visited for this trip...at Camillus's house. The HiFi room has the dimension of 10ft x 10ft x 10ft is a perfect cube and is worst situation for hifi as standing wave will need to be resolved before the system will have good sound.
His hifi room is tastefully decor as bright strong color is use in the room but balance each other and give lively fresh and comfort feel to the room instead of our usual black or grey decor of most of our hifi room.
His system is using audio note cd transport with full EAR system, preamp, mono block power amp and phono amp driving the Dynaudio book shelf speaker. Dynaudio is known for big dynamic and powerful bass speaker that suit for rock music, but in this system, it is sweet sounding with large sound stage. The vocal image is place right at centre with sound stage depth with layering. Playing some vocal music and the music is sweet and musical or some guitar music again it excel with this setup.
This is not an easy task as able to tune such sweet sound from the room because of the room dimension, and every pieces of absorber is try and error by ear till the system is fully optimized. I try to take out two pieces of absorber from left speaker side wall to give more high frequency, yes the 12 to 15 Khz frequency response did go up, but the sound is no longer sweet sounding and start to sound aggressive and forward that we immediate have to revert back the absorber and enjoy the sweet music again. Consider the constraint place on the room , this is an indeed well tune and musical hifi system, a must visit system.
Lastly really appreciate the kuching Hifi nut for hosting me with good food and Hifi system, I really enjoy the many sharing and hope to do again in future and hope everyone system sound will have improve one grade better.
