Finally, finally, an audiophile dude that is actually playing music on their stuff instead of making love to it and playing all these boring sleepy acoustic stuff..and great music bro and yes it sounds awesome even through my headphone.
It’s a good point. I’ve always been put off by demos because ‘audiophiles’ play the simplest and slowest stuff they can find. Music that would sound good on a cheap boombox. To me, a speaker system isn’t any good unless it can reproduce the problem areas like saxophone and female voices at volume. Meaning loud. If distortion remains low in the midrange at a healthy volume THAT’S a speaker I want to buy. Don’t give me quiet jazz that’ll sound good on a crappy Bose 301.
This actually sounds better than streaming the music directly through my phone, Well done Peter
The bass on troubles was better than the streamed version
@@dlfrestoration i think that this is how it should sound lol
Finally found audiophile demo of music
I love the sound of it through my headphones! Very impressive!
Friggin incredible! Very clear and on point! Keep the demos coming.
Whoa, I am reeeeeally diggin' this setup. That sub creation in the center is great.
You could start a streaming service with this! Wow!
Awesome job Peter. Open baffle speakers will blow you away. I purchased the Spatial Audio Sapphire M3's last year. The hair will stand up on the back of your neck while listening to a good open baffle. Thanks again for showing us your creativity.
This sounds great, system and mic setup. Can't wait to hear this type of recording in a car!
Nuno Borges that’s coming soon too! 🤘💪
Beautiful work as always love your demos.
Fantastic sound. Watched few times with decent headphones on to get the idea. It’s sweet. Was soo cool to see big speakers move in previous video. There’s more to this then just sound. Visual effects are just as important. Always liked the look of large paper speakers there’s something in their design that’s so attractive
wow! the detail is amazing!! ty for sharing Peter!!
The quality is amazing . Wow . You have a good taste in every aspect . Equipment and music I'm into as well .
But this excellent .
Unbelievable sounding. It sounds like you are on track to blowing away the most hardcore audiophiles.
On track? He literally does precisely that every year 😂
The detail comes over very good even for youtube, I love it!!
Transparency is absolutely top notch.
This system blows me away. Everything I've ever known has involved boxes for bass to be made and yet here we are. The sound comes through quite well in this format and I thank you for the time and the tracks.
Check out the playlist for this build in description if you haven’t seen those yet. 👌👍
Another fantastic job!!! Love your work. Bet it sounds bad azz in person. 👍👍
Awesome project and sound.. congrats
This video sounds like listening to a late night radio show with a calm DJ voice talking and playing some new tunes. The speakers and sound quality are awesome too.
Can't wait for the in car demo with this mic
You have great taste in music, Peter!🤙
An EXCELLENT as you called it 'Solution'. If you place a plush carpet in from of the set up ... you WILL find an even higher level of improvement you only dreamed of. Great design.
Dude that is bloody brilliant love it man
Peter. My brother, your taste in demo music is second to none 😀. Pssound demo playlist coming soon.?
Devin Brathwaite yes, Demo 4 list should really come soon. It’s gonna happen i promise. 👍🤘🔊🔊
Great work man. Been watching your videos to decide on building a pair of ripole 18s to pair with my Maggie mg-IIb
Again in the morning fresh I listened to your video the sound is awesome
You are blessed. Have fun. It’s so satisfying when one has a system that we can live with. I am in diy and learning waiting fir such a day
Wow, great video, new mics sound awsome, its like sitting back on that sofa again 😍👌😎
Phantastic speakers - very impressive! I took my headphones off occasionally because I thought the music in my room is too loud :)
(Applause) this transfered nicely. Fun music choices, I will be searching these out.
You need to play more tracks as this is better quality than my Amazon HQ playlists. Amazing setup and stunning sound quality.
I like the set up! I see you got the bass Traps up! Nice
Excellent recording! Your system sounds awesome.
Tight and deep bass. Clear but not shrill treble. Nice.
I too have a DIY open baffle system, with DSP bass management on 3 x non-mirrored (this is critical - it makes use of their comb effect to even out the room nodes) powered subwoofers. With such a bass end, the sound does not change if one moves around the room.
To listen to your video I am using a pair of Superlux HD-668B headphones equalized with the Android (only) Neutralizer app by SoftwareHut (give them both a try!)
Well done.
Nice system as always you are a legend my friend and good music too
Maaan i cant find words. Im just sitting here and cant write anything. TOP quality work again. The new mic is awesome! That stereo content at 13:40 is blew my mind. I hope it will show the stage in cars too. Before that video i just waiting for you to come to Hungary again by the Honda. Now i wanted to go to see your crazy SQ cave.
The stage on these must be incredible, this binaural recording over my headphones produces a stage so large that it makes the stage from my current speakers look small. I've listened to tons of binaural recordings and only heard a couple before that sounded as vast as this.
I know, many people find my recordings kinda unbelievably good considering it’s just a cheap Sennheiser Ambeo set.
That ghost rider music was absolutely awesome..thanks for sharing
That's a whole other ball of game for sure.
Sounds crazy clean
This is something else, this is another level of sound quality very impressive to see and hear.
Sounds phenomenal I am impressed. Considering I have this running through a pioneer elite plasma with it stock speakers in a 10 inch Velodyne. Sounds just right
Fink is a go to song for me. The tight kick bass is very nice in this song.
Antiphone blues is so immersive. Another song I keep in my favorite songs list.
The open baffle towers are amazing. Transparent, clear,accurate and larger than life in spl. Yes the Fink track we were at the concert in the front row with better than concert sound reproduction. You can hear every word and nuance, totally revealing sound. The sub bass thing is present, we hear it. In my personal testing open baffle subwoofers almost do the job. If you put the sub thing with the open center up to a hole in the wall or floor then you could quickly test if you like it better open or infinite. As usual thanks for sharing Peter.
John Crochet ohh those subs would be epic if I could vent them to the outside space, but that is a bit too far! 😃
@ 23:17 I had to make sure my headphones was on because it sounded like it was coming from outside lol, OUTSTANDING!
frinkin unbelievable,awesome sound
WOW just WOW! That bass is just superb. Those AE woofers really are some of the best & don't even cost TAD or greatplains levels of money. The midrange was super clear too I thought with that many 15" woofers going around creating some of the fastest bass i've heard in a youtube demo everything else would be just garbage but man. What a sound and that too just on youtube imagine how itll be in person. Granted I was listening on my lovely yanyin canon 2 so theres that.
Ps the 2nd song was just mind blowing how the sound literally traveled to the top of your head & to the side wtf? INSANE.
I think those pair of speakers would kick any pair of loudspeakers in 6-10k range. Well done Peter.
good job. once you hear 'open baffle' there is no going back
❤❤❤ Ok, I have been out of 12volt audio for several decades; but this video got the subscribe. I understand you are primarily 12volt focused but certainly hope there is future home audio content.
Fingers crossed we can expand into home hifi very soon! ✌️🔊🔊
Absolutely great sounding system. I like the transparent look of the sub. maybe, one could use glass for parts of the dipoles as well in order to make the big systems look "lighter".
Good stuff pete👍 you pretty much played my audio test tracks. The Fink live recording is seriously on point. Try Artist Tipper , track Table flipping for the Honda demo. 🙏
Jon Fanneran oh yesss, i know Tipper, he has music that can screw up people’s 🧠😃🤣
Dude. You've done it again. That sounds fricking amazing. I wish I could come and listen to that in person, but you might have a hard time getting rid of me. 👍
Tim Johnson i’m used to it, usually people don’t want to leave! 😃
I'm so glad to see you play Infected Mushroom! They have the highest quality electronic music I know of. I heard they mixed some songs with 200 channels, it's nuts. I believe their goal is to massage the brain, as it were, with their music. Some of their dubstep is a bit dumb sounding to me but their collaborations with singers and other artists have been awesome.
I didn’t know you were into home Hi-Fi. I’ve been designing some open baffle stuff for my desk. I have some ribbon tweets and some drivers I picked up years ago that I will use and a tube amp. I use a Lepai right now that has been rebuilt with solid state caps but I have a ton of gear including a couple rack mount amps from the 70s. The current speakers I use are vifa tweets with hi-vi drivers and Phil Harmonic designed the crossover. It’s all hand built. Sweet setup bro!
I’m listening to your video on my Pioneer Elite Amp and Elite Andrew Jones Atmos speakers and that sounds so airy and almost like you’re in front of the artist even with the mic you are using to record the sound. Maybe one day we will be out your way and we can check out the shop and this setup. We are in California now.
You can tell a true audio enthusiast when their music collection includes just about every genre. My collection is similar.
Sounds so good! I am on my lunch break, listening to it in my - not so well tuned car😃
Gatis M inspiration inspiration! 😃
Wow that’s truly incredible! My goal is for my next house to be ‘detached’ so I can get a nice audio system and not worry about upsetting my neighbours.
I am inspired by yet more of your work Peter, thank you for your time in making this demo.
I unliked the video to be able to like it again! It sounds interessting.
Patrick Leiner haha if only that would count! 😃
You can watch the video 100x, that definitely helps! 😃🤣
@@pssound9749 hahaha Peter you know that i love what youre doing. Keep doing it please!
Btw. the binaural mic sounds really good! I got now stuck at the part with vini vici. I repeated it now twice because that bass!!! I want go to a Goa Party or much better to the Euro Finals Party :D
Patrick Leiner to be fair any party would be great after a year now! 😃💪🤘😎🔊🔊
Amazing sound
amazing. seriously. amaaaziiiing.
This sounds like my speakers, but with the quality of your speakers and the microphone you recorded them with. This demonstrates nothing other than the fact those speakers actually work. :)
It demonstrates that a recording like this can actually sound somewhat good and believable in stereo, not like phone recordings.
Should it be used as a reference? Absolutely no!
These recordings do a remarkably good job of capturing the room response, standing LF, reverb, etc. Even an iPhone mic captures this very well. I think you may be misunderstanding what’s being measured. As explained very well by the author, room interactions and the way the open baffles interacts makes a profound difference, which is certainly audible here.
Hi again Peter, the sound was so amazing on my freeby iPhone earbuds that I decided to get something better and have watched the video again with some Sennheiser HD650’s and “boy oh boy” your system is sounding just fantastic, many congratulations on producing a superb demo. Would be nice to hear a track off VCMG SSSS album in future video maybe 🤔
I also got some of those binaurals too so can’t wait for pubs to re-open and try recording some live music with them.
Watching your video has sent me down a new and interesting path for which I am very grateful 👍
Be careful with these mics as above a certain SPL level they start to distort very badly! An acoustic gig maybe fine, but a band with proper PA and heavier bass will definitely kill these Sennheiser mics.
@@pssound9749 “phew” thank you for the warning peter.
Simply amazing!
Excellent brother!
I'm listening this through Skullcandy Crusher headphones... Insane sound quality even though them. I'm planning a home audio system setup right now, Dolby Atmos capable, open baffle system (whereas possible). Your setup is a completely plan changer! I wonder if DSP is supporting the Dolby Atmos configuration?
But your home setup sounds absolutely incredible! Well done here! Love it to bits!
It’s certainly so impressive even through a recording as i run this system fully active with a DSP. If you do Atmos, then you’ll need low level RCA outputs for the DSP that you need for your active speakers. It can easily becomes complex and expensive if you want all speakers fully active. I’d probably only run the main L&R fully active plus the sub through a DSP, so it can be tuned properly with an RTA mic too.
Very nice sound. Those Technics SU-V3 amps are quite good. Had SU-V9 and it was the fastest sound I've heard till today. Had few scratches and it needed a recap, so I sold it and bought Sansui Alpha.
Yesss, old is not necessarily bad. 🔊🔊❤️
oh my gosh brilliant!
superbe vidéo j adore merci
Man that sounds killer.
Wish I could wrap my mind around how a open baffle setup can sound so clean, even into the lows.
In my mind it is like the opposite of a T line, material/build wise, but with similar results
Bassboylowg it’s nothing like T-line or any box. Your room is the box, so placement is super important!
Check out description and the link to the playlist of this project.
@@pssound9749 I've followed the project for awhile, it still just astounds me that it works the way it does
Bassboylowg i like challenges and i wanted to test it myself too, because i believe in science & physics.
I love when few people walk around it with staring eyes 👀, scratch their heads and just get shocked! 😃🤣
Awesome Peter
Congrats on a superb system you have put together. Just wish if the sub box would had not been there. I like the looks of your 3 way
The box in middle spoils the look
Anand Shah it sounds better though! 😃
If i had time, i’d re-build the stereo pairs and have dual 15” each side, but at least now i don’t have to worry about a TV stand/cabinet. 😃
Anyone watching; no matter how “great” this sounds. You have no idea how good, no not good- amazing it really is till you listen in person, with minimal power and I mean minimal 2-10 watts- it’s fucking ridiculous and the crispest sound you can imagine. Any music genre, it fucking owns it.
Wow the more i listen the more i am impressed...it sounds like limitless power and finesse....it beats even 100.000 dollar speakers i listened !!!!!
It’s certainly very impressive in real life. 🔊🔊
Amazing, just amazing!!!!
World-class sound recording in a room, very very impressive quality. I never heard a loudspeaker system sound like this in the TH-cam. OB speakers are my goal for DIY system, and yours are trully inspiring. Can you show us your recording setup and techniques in another video? Congratulations Pssound.
Antonio Takimi i’ll share a short video of the recording gear. 👌🤘🔊🔊
Really really really nice ⚡️
Glad you like it!
Cool I'm listening with my sennheiser hd 650s
headphones...wow.
Great video Peter.open baffle speaker sounds really good. wish i could learn to adjust my system like yours.good playlist :) best regards.sorry for my poor english.
You can do a lot when you have a fully active system.
Just discovered your channel (now subscribed) and looked at both previous videos of your open baffle speakers and was impressed by the sound. With binaural, the sound is even more impressive !! Well done.
You mention not molesting "too much" the signal. Would you be willing to share more details on the signal path with what's done where ? My motivation is that I want to build a pair of open baffle speakers, and I am seriously considering building yours ! :-)
Regardless, I look forward to more of your experimentation with home audio.
All the best.
patrice aubry i said it wasn’t molested as much as i have a DSP for signal processing to run the system actively and I didn’t use many EQs. I have 31band on each channel.
@@pssound9749 Thanks for that... What are your cross-over settings ?
patrice aubry 60/700/5000
@@pssound9749 Thank you again... Btw, I see that you are inviting (post-COVID) interested listeners to your lair, which is very generous of you. Where is your lair ?
patrice aubry my cave is in Newhaven, East Sussex, UK. 🇬🇧
Awesome!
Amazing, the sound stage is so wide, those drives aren't struggling at all😭
Lets hear it play some classical! Maybe something like 'Bass I Love You'...
I finally see the correct distance between the emission centers of the respective speakers and the frequency range assigned to them! Good boy! The dipole question could be deeper. Is it okay to add 50% “reverb” sound in the room when the correct amount of reverb is already present in the recording? 🤔 Then how does such a system behave towards "fire", that is, the system's ability to correctly position the virtual sources in the environment? 🤔
I think it looks awesome, to be honest. Such a fresh breath compared to the old dogma speakers. How great would they look in signal orange, f.ex.? ^^
Sounds awesome Peter very clear and such tight bass. I do have a question though what product have you used to convert the signal from the amps to the speakers as the impedance would be different from home audio to car speakers i believe
lee hey there is nothing between the amps and the speakers, only few meters of OFC cable! 😃
Midbass and mids run on 4ohm, tweeter is 8ohm iirc. Subs are 4ohm too.
incredible!!!!!!!!!!!
A number of the first "single watts" depends on a speaker sensitivity I think. My Focals start to play from about 2-3 watts (on the indicator) with that Technics in a typical room like yours.
Some pictures and information about you speakers would be much appreciated. Thanks for your wonderful video.
Hi, please check the description in the video. There’s a link to a playlist of this project.
Top sound , great system , without snobery 'high end' prices ....
Listening in my demo car 🤣 I'm like dam your system sounds good 😋
If only you could make this room setup into plugin as cla nx studio by waves did.
It would be apocalyptically mind blowing.
It seems to me that you’ve invented looseless sound recording:)
magnifique!!!
That was real nice Peter. Definitely got some great integration for all three drivers that comes from a single baffle set up like that. Great depth in the stage, even just in ear phones and the timing sounds lovely with great low end snap when needed. Just a question for discussion, with open back baffles, obviously there's less mass there, how much of an effect do you think that has/would have since they're not going to be as rigid or heavy as a full cabinet design? measurable difference? I'm thinking from the point of view of people mass loading cabinets for deadness, even pouring concrete in them or sand in speaker stands. Any thoughts on those things? I haven't got any concrete or sand in my own! ha!
I see Erin at Erin's audio corner trying to be extra nerdy over measuring etc but the set up and environment just negates a lot of the measuring he's doing despite his best intentions with it all to try and be super clinical. You can't take a precision instrument and then put it in a cluttered room full of things and expect labratory conditions for accurate measurements that can be reliable as some sort of bench mark reference point. Don't know how he can't see the contradiction in the set up. If it sounds good, it sounds good.
I really like hexibase channel too as he has some excellent testing for drivers in all situations.
I should also add, It's brilliant to upset the 'home only' audiophiles as they are so stuffy and closed in their approach to systems and cabling (dont get me started on that snake oil!) etc. I enjoy car and home audio just like you and it definitely brings a lot more open mindedness to setups. I'm sure you know what I mean.
Peter the first video i took was scraped as i put the nerds believing in such snake oil sh.t on spot too much and I didn’t want to cause too much trouble! I’m already using a DSP in fully active and car audio products, which is more than enough for them to swallow, let alone the dirt cheap amps + wiring!? 😃
Regarding boxes: well, when you have to deal with the backwaves in a cabinet, then you truly want to kill all resonances, so the sound only comes put of the driver. With OB there’s not much you have to worry about any of that, other than making a rigid baffle (I wouldn’t say mine is quite there, could be improved, although the sub structure is solid as hell) and of course room placement & treatment! That’s where the lazy ones fail instantly! Pulling a credit card out of the pocket is not enough in this game imo! 👍🔊🔊
@@pssound9749 haha! I'm not surprised they were choking over the previous one then! I did think the same since you have taken the time to put the bass traps in behind and they're huge along with treating the room too. I'm sure its also very 'breathy' sounding in person. A good friend of mine is a professional music (specialty in saxophone) teacher and I hear him play all the time and it's an excellent audible reference point when you hear a system try to recreate those difficult raspy instruments with lots of resonance that can really show up colour in a system. That saxophone track sounded sweet. Look forward to the next video. I have my own a pillar builds to keep me busy for now with those audible physics drivers to fit. Ever fit any around an a pillar air vent like in volkswagen passat??? very awkward.
Yes, playing brass instruments back is a real tester.
You don’t need that vents on the pillars if you’re worried about that, the winscreen blows everything off, maybe it takes a touch a bit longer, but it works, i have the same in the Honda! 😃
How do you find these fire tracks! They sound so miraculously good. I was surprised how amazing and dynamic the songs sound on my system.
DaCracky i’ll share few Tidal playlists next week when i do a similar demo in my Honda. 👍
@@pssound9749 thank you I was gonna ask for that 😍
Smilk - The Last Rainforest, if you haven't heard it, is a somewhat similar track to Ghost Rider - Make Us Stronger. Equally good.
Felix Medrano yeppp, i played that before in other videos, so i was worried to play that one again! 😃
Nice demo, makes me think of the $120k IO Design Naked RS, a little bit crasy for what you get 😆They've probably seen your version before getting inspired! Oh no, that's right, they have custom-made AEs (just like the rest...) and unique type of aliminium...
Quick question, the dipole 15 AEs mounted in the baffles, do you apply a hi-pass to them, given that you use the IB15AUs as subwoofers? More than 10 years ago, I made a pair of OBs with Alpha 15As, 2 per channel stacked on top of each other, with hardly any baffle, maybe 5cm above the drivers, and it sounded pretty good, without going as low as yours (more like 40Hz).
I’ve been an audiophile for nigh on 50 years now and never embraced headphone listening but things might change now I’ve heard this !! A hugely impressive audio system and binaural recording. I use hybrid ribbon speakers by danish manufacturer BKS and like your system has zero cabinet colouration.👍 that was a superb play list too. I bet VCMG “ssss” would sound fab on that too. What sort of cost would be looking at for your speaker set up ?
Cost of speakers for the stereo pair + subs is ~ £4000 here in UK, plus labour and material.
DSP is £1750. Amps were cheap + lots of TLC.
Setting them up in the room is XY amount.
@@pssound9749 . “Hi Peter, “Worth every penny” as you would say. Really amazing what you can achieve when you know what you are doing. I will watch your channel with interest. Cheers steve
I can’t find the video showing the room treatment measurements. I’m really curious to hear you talk more about that.
Yes, because it has never been finished.
WOW... Peter impressive how that system sounds, also what we perceive is what the iPhone microphone is capable of capturing, I can't imagine what it's like to be sitting on that sofa, again wow and congratulations on your videos, greetings ...
Roberto González this is not an iPhone microphone though! 😃
The new mic’s sound good peter but it still sounds way better in person.
Mark Jackson well, you’re one of the lucky ones who heard it! 😉🔊🔊
