yyzsantabarbara... Try a ten-pack of SR’s HFT's placed around the room as directed. I think you will be pleased with the results. Frank |
My rack has been behind and off to the side of my speakers since I can remember...... Had a few different configurations with a large power amp on the floor and longer balanced ic. But for last year or more have had an integrated at bottom of the rack and running 14ft speaker cables and loving every minute of it! |
Yyzsantabarbara what do you normally do for music ? My idea was to simplify your system while adding more than enough impact. Simply having a desktop dac such as the aune x1 and powered speakers would be plenty versatile and most assuredly blow the doors off your current set up . I’m sure it could be done for around 5 or 6 benjamins . |
@davekayc If you are asking about how I play music, it is mostly streaming from 1 of my computers via a Sonore microRendu into the Peachtree. I also have a FM tuner and SACD player hooked up onto the integrated. The types of music varies upon mood. My current setup is rather good and suitable for such a small room. However, I am trying to blow the doors of the current setup with my next setup. Actually one of my thoughts was to keep the LS50s in this room and go crazy with the electronics such as the Luxman c900u preamp (non-DSP) and Luxman m900u amp. However, that changed along with interest in other (or better) speakers once the Yamaha NS5000 became available in the USA this month. The next speaker I am get is likely the Yamaha NS5000, even on a temp basis, for this current room until I move to another house. So my question about adding the bookshelf containing a lot of books in-between the speakers was related to taming a very bass heavy speaker. I will speak with the dealer that will sell me Yamaha speakers and the DSP preamp or integrated about the bookshelf placement. Some DSP engines like Room Perfect actually suggest one does not use room treatments, but real world feedback (at least on A’gon) seems to indicate that treatments first, then DSP Room Perfect on top of that. Exciting news today was the funding of this new system purchase has now become clear. I am just figuring out the final details of system setup now, thus these questions on this thread and the thread I started about Balanced XLR and the AES48 standard for long cable runs. |
