My endgame system I think


Good day everyone. I wanted to share what I believe is my endgame 2 channel system and say thank you to all of the members here for all of the advice I’ve gotten and read. It’s a simple system but the forum has  guided me tremendously with my decisions. A special thank you goes out to Duke of audiokinesis  (who I met at Axpona was very gracious with a few questions I had) for recommending Jeff at HDacoustics to design my room that I built while the speakers were being built. I hope to have many years enjoying my new system. Thanks again everyone !

Thank you for the advice. I actually have a Umik and was going to give REW a try a few weeks ago but discovered I needed an adapter to connect the laptop to the Boulder 866 and I have been dragging my feet getting one. I definitely want to know how the room measures so I need to get off my butt and get it done.

@ronboco I am at a similar spot right now. I decided to go with the Atria II and keep my JL Fathoms. The Boulder is great but an external dac will make a difference. I ended up with classe delta pre and Stereo paired with the MSB Discrete with the rederer card. So no need for a network streamer but the module is $2k. 

Just glad to see more rockports here.

The Atria is a great speaker. That’s what they had at Axpona. Sounded amazing. I’m going to stick with the DAC in the Boulder at least for now as it reviewed very well and I spoke to the owner of Boulder ( I’ve embarrassingly forgotten his name) at Axpona and he said it’s the same DAC that is in their stand alone unit which made me feel even better. Happy listening !

I see rock wool in the walls but you don’t specify brand? And the panels you are using to cover them are? I used burlap: cheap ($4.00 per yard) and aesthetically pleasing (to me, at any rate).

The Rockwool is it’s own brand I got at lowes. I used the safe and sound version. The 2 inch rigid fiberglass panels are from ATS acoustics. The fabric covering all walls and ceiling is from Rosebrand
