Yeah, the MC402 is mine alright...
... wanna trade? Carlman is out of town so we have to do this quick....
VAC is one of my "final destination" choices. But the Mac is a very special amp in its own way. Very easy to live with, and satisfying musically.
I talked to my wife about bolstering the foundation of the house to further my hobby activities. After the
and
were finished, she gave me some professional advice. In the past she has been an architect, appraiser, and is now RE sales, so she had some good perspective on the value of doing it - but don't worry, I ignored every word.
I still have to get under there and try to see where things can go. Another thing I have read about in pro circles is putting vibe damping under the speakers, like auralex makes with thick felt feet. Seems like it would help by absorbing the cabinet movement, but that wouldn't stop the pressure wave from hitting the floor like a bomb blast.
How did you figure out where the floor joists are under the floor so you could position the spikes on them so accurately? Maybe stud finder? Do you just have the two beams and two posts near the speaker area, or do you have more of them spread under the whole room? I guess the vibe source location is the most important.
The Mac is Carls and the Ushers are Shanes (hometheaterdoc) and together they do make some very serious bass. It is obvious that the room is just gobbling it all up. But my own speakers Legacy Focus have great bass that can definitely be improved with "floor treatments."
Thanks Mike
