Looking for advice and suggestions


  • Hello fellow members. I’ve just put my system on here and would like to get some thoughts on a few things. How does the speaker placement look? I am considering ISO acoustic Gaia absorbers under the Kanta 3s. With this type of room do you think they would be worth it? I also bought a U-MIk-1 thinking it was a better mic than what came with the Marantz 8805 and was going to use it with the audyssey xt32 room correction. The box says best used with REW or Dirac. Would using REW be better than the audyssey xt32? Thanks for your advice. If you can’t see my system please advise on how to link it to this thread

Hello Erik. Thank you for the advice. I will stick with the Marantz mic. Do you think I should consider footers for the 4 subs ? They do scoot around a bit 
@jond we did have a lot of reverberation that the panels took care of. Having no experience I was going off the room analysis provided by vicoustics. They recommended treating the mids and highs instead of the bass. I have been reading here that multiple subs helps eliminate bass modes. Is there a way to tell by listening if the room has too much treatment ? 
Looks nice. You have put a lot of work into it. Personally I hate fiddling with placement. But it really matters. Anyway nice system..At some point when you are looking to upgrade something, consider the streamer. I kept thinking they didn’t matter... I was very wrong. I jumped mine from $500, $2,500 and only stopped at the top of the line Aurender.
@ghdprentice thank you. I am hoping to be able to add a 2 channel front end eventually. Either separates or a good integrated with HT bypass. Streaming is all we do so a better DAC and streamer will be on the wish list too
