@geof3 Yeah, I was surprised when I put a measuring tape to it. I’ve got furniture I the way that puts my listening chair at that distance. My sons used to use this room a lot but don’t any more so time to maybe get rid of some furniture and rearrange the space. The acoustic room analysis will probably force me to make some changes.
@jp-2213 Could be the Gryphon is a better amp. And, could be the McIntosh isn’t a good match for the GE’s. The owner of the 805’s thinks they are on the brighter side but “the raw power of the McIntosh should tame it.” It’ll be nice to hear through my system if that’s the case. I did learn during the audition he was streaming songs through Tidal and his MYTEK Brooklyn. I think finding the right speakers for me is first on the list along with getting the room acoustics sorted out. IMO, tweaks with amps or cables, interconnects, etc. accentuate the fundamental sound of the speakers. @jaulbrich the 804’s might be an option if I like the 805’s in my system. The extra woofer in the 804’s might help in a room my size.
Still thinking about the Dynaudio S5.4’s. Any thoughts on those?
