To this point, no improvement. Just terrible Tinnitus. Also lots of other weird stuff with my eyes being able to focus and stabilize and headaches. It’s going to be a long road but as long as my body learns to cope with the other stuff, I’ll learn to survive with the hearing. Good news is I don’t need to spend big money on stereo stuff anymore lol.
I’ll keep my DIY speakers and NAD M10V2 and pick up a cheaper record player/phone so I can still at least enjoy the music
This is not right. Something doesn’t make sense.
Visual disturbance and headaches. Never seen that with isolated ear anomaly.
That does not sound right.

Re: Last question about L800
I have about 8 inches on the right and 12 on the left. I’ll remove them and see if I notice a difference
I don’t want to move the speakers further from the back wall. The room seemed overwhelmed when I pulled them out more
Thanks for the suggestion

Re: Last question about L800
My experience at Troys is that they sounded best about 4ft off the back wall.
Every room is different though

Re: Last question about L800
Ideally, the side panels should be at the first reflection point. Have someone hold a mirror up on the wall and as soon as the mirror reflects the middle of the speaker, that's your first reflection point.

Thanks for being a loyal customer of bank***** for 53 years.
I got an email a few weeks ago from the American Chemical Society saying that I'd reached member emeritus status (or something like that) and qualified for membership gratis. Cool.
Then about a week later, I got the annual membership renewal letter. With a bill.
I need to reconcile those two today or tomorrow (come to think of it), as I try to do ACS renewal before year's end, for a tax deduction.
I dropped AAAS (Science magazine, mostly) membership a few years back.

Re: You know you’re getting old when…
I find that I go to great lengths now to avoid working on something at ground level. A few weeks ago I spent half an hour building a ramp so that I could get my generator on the tailgate of my truck, in order to do its oil change and tune up.

Re: Last question about L800
You need a mirror and possibly a helper if it's not a full length mirror. Move the mirror along the side wall until you can see the reflection of the speaker nearest that wall when you are seated in your listening position. This is the "first reflection point." That's where the panel should go. Since your panels are so wide, you may be able to catch the "second reflection point" with them which is the point along the wall where you see the reflection of the opposite speaker in the mirror. Otherwise, many times it takes two panels per side.
From the photo, I'm thinking your artwork may be about where the panels need to be, but hopefully not!

Re: You know you’re getting old when…
Age has slowed me down big time. I get frustrated sometimes when I realize it's taking me 2X as long to do something with probably 2X as many breaks, but I remind myself I'm still doing most of the things I did 15+ yrs ago so it ain't all that bad.
