Wall outlets

@kota1 the bass traps just got here yesterday. I have considered pulling the speakers a little closer to the side walls to see how that sounds. I have not had a chance to do the chair yet. If you check out my system you can see my sons knees on the left side of the picture haha. I also have some GIK acoustic 6a alpha panels to put behind the couch, then I plan on pulling the couch out a little more. 

The bass traps look fantastic, I use floor to ceiling traps too, you can see in my virtual system.  My MLP used to be near the back wall, I changed it to be in line with dolby specs and moved it forward toward the center of the room, WOW! Big difference. If you maintain a space of around 2-6 inches between the traps and your walls they work better because the back side can also absorb bass. You can compare both methods and see what works best for your room. For my room spacers worked better on the back wall, not so good on front and side walls.

@shtr74sims Furutech GTX-D Rhodium outlet is where it’s at. I installed one before I ran two dedicated lines and the improvement was immediate. It goes thru some insane break in until about 250-300 hours. It starts out sounding amazing then takes a turn for the worse. It is a rollercoaster from that point forward until fully burned in. 
When I got the dedicated lines, I installed the second GTX-D. Same exact behavior until the break in is complete. But I digress…the point is, it’s a negligible investment considering the cost compared to what we pay for cable upgrades that sometimes yield less in terms of improvements. I bought mine from VH Audio. Good deal there. 

When it comes to outlets, I found great improvement by installing  dedicated 20 Amp line split into 4 outlets, since your friend is an electrician, buy two cases of beer and get him to work. Just my suggestion.

Seeing the placement of you sub I have to ask, did you place it there after a subcrawl or was it just the most convenient placing? Im not criticizing, just asking.

Thanks,
