Vintage relics in my cave
Hello from the USA heartland
Here is a pic of my modest menagery of aural delight. The NS1000's are powered with a ESP P101.The NS1000M's are powered with a second ESP P101 and soon the NS-690's will be Triamped with two Yamaha M-45's and a M-4 via a ESP P09 LR Crossover. I am currently using a Yamaha C-2 control amp with a Yamaha CDX-930 CD Player and a Yamaha YP-701 TT with a pickering XV-15 cartridge

My system
Hi this is my system.
The speakers werre somthing i built during the summer.
The drivers are a 10" scanspeak in a 54 L colsed box.
The midrange are 6.5" from Peerless that is siting in the open and finaly there is old Fostex tweeter.
The speaker is alll my own designe, i only did som simulation on the woffer box. There is active Dbx 223Xl filter betwen the top and the woffer and a passive filter for the midrange and the tweeter.
The ampilfiers are a Nikko Alpha III for the top and Sentec Pa9 Mono amplifers for the bass. And a modified Pioneer 656 as source.
I am happy with the sound but i am going to get a preamp soon.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Here is my system, I will be moving the electronics to the back of the room this weekend (just got my RF remote receiver). I got my NHT speakers back when Macy's went out of the electronics business, Everything was marked down to 40% and the salesman said Half off af that. I bought everything I could and now have 5.1 system in the bedroom & 9.3 in the family room. The stage is my DIY sub running from 40Hz down.

here they are finish but now the problem I have is a lot of reverb,echo,cancelation,It sounds as if I have 2 more speakers behind me the sound bounces everywhere.would it be good to cover the back wall and the sides with that green panel?and the other thing I have a problem is setting the tweeters,cause it's slider inside the box to which I have to unscrew slide on a big resistor (i think).could it be possible to change that if not how can I get them to have the same setting?(multimetre,ohms,voltage etc..)
a friend of mine has acoustats 2+2 and he has a pot outside the box to adjust.could I modify mine to be adjustable from the outside?my room is 14'x36' and the wall on the other end is a brick wall with a wood stove so can't put anything there...as you can see on the other picture before....
any ideas would be apreciated

Maybe build some bas traps for the corner's more carpet on the floor. I bet that shiny floor is concrete and it helps make things echo alot.
my bass is not at it's best (possibly of all the echo I have)and the floor is comercial tiles,plywwod with 2x3's and then ciment floor.also the ceiling is suspended with acoustic isolator(brown itchy stuff)
I have bass because the floor in my bedroom shakes.
but just doesn't show downstairs at least not as it feels upstairs

that's my point Idon't have much besides one of my wife's quilts paded with pur cotton,about 1/8" thick,but should I start covering the sidewalls or the whole back since my acoustats are dipole,to minimise reflections comin from the back.?
because before with my conventional speaker I didnt have that much echo.very little to say.
