thinking of putting them in the bathroom

Not a bad idea, all those ceramics create the most wonderful harmonizing frequencies that really enlarge your soundscape and help to create a listening experience that is truly what the artists intended, regardless of the genre of music. Here are some tips though:

Baths are great for anything bassy because of the large "hollow" nature of them - just like bass bins for speakers are bigger than mids/trebles and have a lot more air in them.
Toilets are tricky to use but if your speakers get in there, this is best for mids. Bidets are much easier and work almost as well as toilets do.
Wall tiling is what gets your trebles really tingling all over your room. Most people only tile around the sinks for but for best audio experience you want to tile the whole room really, including the floor and ceiling.

Now of course this presents a real problem - once you've got your soundsystem setup in your bathroom, there is the real risk of electrical issues whilst you are having a shower or bath, but fear not! I have the products you need:

1) The audio-acoustic super tarpaulinator. Yes, this looks suspiciously like a tarp you can buy for £5.99 in homebase or B&Q but if you look closely you'll see the interwoven cabling that ensures the audio passes through the tarpaulin cleanly, with no distortions at all, whilst the water cannot pass the other way. £1,599.99 or £3,000 for a pair.
2) Cable and Connector Waterproofing system 3000. This consists of a waterproofing gel which you must apply to your cables and interconnectors using the applicator inside. This works with all cables but must be applied exactly according to the instructions to guarantee no water ingress into your cables. No, it's not just bonjela with a sticker on it, check out the reviews to see how many people have used it and not been electrocuted afterwards! £99 per metre coverage.
3) Dave's Audio Building Services. Dave can come round and tile your bathroom to the highest audio standards available. Price on asking but a typical bathroom in a 3 bedroom house costs £50,000 - £80,000 depending on the acoustic tiling chosen.

Alternatively we can build you a whole new room, designed like a bathroom to give the real audio experience but without the extra need for plumbing or the awkwardness of trying to have a bath whilst squeezing around your speakers. £POA

jeez, what you smoking over there. ;-)
 
I have 2 Gemini stack speakers that used to be hired by a DnB night off a mate plus a very allegedly 1kw hand made bass bin I don't believe the numbers but it was really fucking loud and clear considering it was bridged to an aging amp that eventually set on fire after it stopped working and my dad the electrician had a go at fixing it. Now its all been sat for about 10 years and is holding up my desk. Seems a waste but all I have to pair it with is a Logitech 5.1 system thats also been sat for ages and definitely is not the right one for it. Can't imagine running a 4ft speaker where it was previously a 6 inch high one is a good idea really.

Should probably take the bass box apart and see what the things actually are, look to be 15s.

I finally got to do some proper listening on these yesterday.

Fucking hell, like nothing I’ve ever heard before.

I can only imagine.
Got a pair of small Genelecs and a Genelec 10” sub and it (when I had it set up) sounds like a small but very clean night club.
I imagine your trousers were flapping in the breeze <3 :D

Not really. While they’re obviously capable of daft levels the studio is all set around them being usable for extended periods of time, rather than for outright volume. The bass is impressive because of how accurate it is - down to 30Hz or so - rather than it simply being loud.

But while the sheer clarity of them was good, what was most impressive - to the point of being quite astonishing - is their imaging. I’ve never heard such a rock solid stereo field, you can pinpoint sound exactly, with an eerie sense of not just the L-R positioning of sources, but a front to back element to it that almost feels like you’re in the middle of a surround setup.

I’m very lucky indeed that I’m actually paid to play with stuff like this :oops:

What amps are driving them?

gi'us yer job!!!
 
They are so ridiculous. For the best sound, (from what I have read) everything needs to be running at an optimum level which is generally about 70%. In that region, the amps and speakers are most efficient, therefore sounding as intended.

WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO BE LISTENING TO FOUR 18" DRIVERS RUNNING AT 70% FULL TILT IN ROOMS THAT SMALL?! (and with hard floors and no treatment)

Ahem. I hope I haven't got that drastically wrong :oops: :D
