Stereophilus Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 This thread is for people to post photos of their adventures in room tuning with plants... My good friend @Assisi has a real passion for music and plants. I’m sure he can help out with some tips and tweaks for young players! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyr Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Very interesting thread @Stereophilus ... there have been many posts of the Planar Asylum about people using ficus plants behind their Maggies, to provide some dispersion. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereophilus Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 I’m still a noob in this particular facet of audiophilia @andyr. Keen to learn though! Maybe we can establish some common speaker synergies as you are alluding to? Ficus with Planars Bamboo with horns? Cactus with sealed boxes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not alluding to any perticklar synergies, S - merely recounting what I have read. Ficus plants (which I think are what is shown in the Darko link you provided?) are merely a good plant to provide dispersion of the rear wave (for Maggies). I'm surprised they also work well for box spkrs! Re. sealed boxes ... I would suggest banana trees are more appropriate than cactus.

Snoopy8 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I easily qualify for this thread because my better half is mad about plants. My setup has had many plants transitioning through the music (errrr. family) room, including ficus, palms, succulents etc. https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/300131-kii-audio-owners-and-discussion-thread/?do=findComment&comment=4562928 Sadly, none could do the job of what the Sound Accoustics panels did (& WAF approved!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thethrowback Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) I can kill a house plant in less than a week and probably quicker if they had to listen to my taste in music. I think weed is the best option for enhancing music appreciation and forget the rest. Edited April 2, 2021 by thethrowback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genkifd Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 if i had a choice i would rather have a nice looking plant than a panel on / next to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warweary Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I did notice recently that sitting in the garden is more fun with the stereo loud enough to hear, spose that counts hey. I note that bobs plants have tuning sticks, mostly white pistols and aren't quite ready to harvest -but my eyes are actually quite rooted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
