Yaaaa! After 4 months and many hours on the phone with the tech support my mixing system is all working. I still have weeks of testing to do but I’m so happy. I put on my reference music Katherine McPhee "I Fall in Love To Easily", I worked with her and was in the studio for some of the recording and mixing at Capitol Records in LA , I also worked with her as an actress on the TV show Scorpion for four years, she also sat at the sound cart every day on the shooting stage, I know her voice perfectly. My other song is Diana Krall "Some one in love" strangely both albums were recorded by Al Schmidt. Anyway when I played back a few songs I could hear much more texture of both of the women’s voices on the Genelec -The Ones- powered speakers than I heard on any of my systems, I also definitely didn’t hear that kind of resolution in the control room at Capitol. Not saying better I am saying more accurate, the vocal microphone was a tube U87, same one Nat King Cole used and Frank Sinatra.

There will never be another time when I can have such a good voice reference and a unique experience to evaluate the end product of a recording.

@donavabdear , what did tech support do? After 4 months it must have been a jackpot when everything worked as (or better) than expected.

Great, Christmas came early, happy times!

@kota1 Oh man Avid tech support was very professional, kind, understanding, and they didn't have any experience with my system. I bought Pro Tools Ultimate, a MTRX Studio, an HDX system and an S4 Control surface. Everything is networked and my house has a big network multiple roughers hard line big WiFi 6e transmitters. When networks get that complicated the tech support is just guessing. What happened 90% of the time is after 5 hours talking to the Philippines I just gave up and tried everything I could think of sooner or later I'd get it right. Did you see how I lowered my center channel speaker in your honor, my Genelec system not the home system?

I have so much time alignment to do now, all the speakers are networkable and hook up to the computer and a system called SAM but that means running more network cable everywhere but then the system will time align and frequency align everything just right it is a brute force way of setting up a system not an elegant acoustic room fix system like my Lyngdorf theater processor. Next I have to switch all the Genelecs to run AES rather than analog signals, they take both and I need to send the Pro Tools system to the Lyngdorf system so I can play Dolby Atmos on the Lyngdorf setup as a monitor switch using Dante, kinda the ultimate luxury to have a good home system as a test for the movie mix. Probably 2 more months.

A friend of mine just got some Dynaudio Focus 50 Active Wireless speakers and we both are Amazed at their Sound ! OMG We have never heard Sound Quality like this from a home stereo system AT ANY PRICE ! OMG Bargain of our Lifetime ! OMG Only $11K A Pair ! We now know that Active Wireless speakers are the future of speakers ! Long Live the New KING of Speakers...World's BEST :
