Nice system. As a recording engineer, may I offer a little friendly advice? In a room of these proportions, almost every room reflection is your equipment's enemy. For solo listening, try broad band absorbers at the first reflection points on the side walls and ceiling. Basic Auralex-type studio foam will work. If you expect to provide musical entertainment for multiple listeners, diffusers are a better way to go. If you have a back wall, try placing your current diffusers there. That will smooth out reflections coming back to your listening position. You have excellent diffuser units, but you won't get the most out of them behind the speakers, since there aren't any early reflections from that area that would impact the listening position. There would be stronger, and more damaging reflections coming from a flat back wall. Best wishes. Enjoy your excellent sound system.
Hi ! thanks for the very valuable advice. I have a question. Can we say that we "hear" a wall when it reflects the sound ? Moreover, in order to enhance the soundstage depth I guess that the wall in front of the listening spot and the rear one are critical. Which are the best type of acoustic treatment for this walls ? diffusers or absorbers ? Thanks a lot again.
@@gino3286 No idea how much you have learned since you posted this, but I'll just respond... you would be hard pressed to 'hear' a wall in an untreated room, If you have a fully treated room and you, say, remove one piece in a critical area, have a persoon do it, for you, and have them remove it, put it back a few times, you will, if you choose a good test spot, hear the difference. For me when I did this with ceiling panels, the highs get more shrill with the reflection, and smooth out without it. All that said, the evil in the reflected sound is at least as much in what it removes as what it over amplifies, as the what it removes part is changing the tonality of the sound, it can easily make significant change to a singers voice. For the last part, i use both diffusers and absorbers on all 4 walls, just depends on where etc... I look at it this way, I use absorbers to diminish the evil parts of the room, to remove that from the equation as much as I can, then I re-create -a- -virtual room- with diffusers. But not all people look at it/set it up that way...
How did you record this? I'm listening on Senn. HD598s and I had to take off my headphones a few times to make sure they were plugged in because the illusion that the sound was coming out my my computer screen was so good.
Really nice but I have to agree about the Reflection I had just a Bear wall behind my system and I pretty much covered the back wall my sound was much more Solid So to speak helped a lot but I also had to do the side walls made a huge difference in my sound it definitely isn't all about the Equipment!! Must say you do have very nice Equipment....
I had to buy a DC blocker For my Musical Fidelity A5. To quell the buzzing. From ATL Audio Bulgaria. Has not arrived yet. So Can not wait to see if it does the job intended
Fantastic! What a natural sound!

I assume he put them in the corners to reduce bass boom. He can't hang them both on the rear wall because of the window.

Carpets and tapestries. Whether building or road noise absorbers
@@kissmeraas Windows are evil when sound is concerned. And very hard to treat -while keeping it a window-.

Love it. What song and artist is this?
Back Around Bonnie Raitt :)
Also, bring the speakers on out and use wood to set them on.
Nice accuracy and detail. Very little bottom end, even for this track.
Good stuff
