Weak link


Overall, I am happy with my system. Have a minor case of upgradeitis. Wondering where you would upgrade. Speakers KEF reference 3 non meta. Continuum 8 amplifier. T+A dac 8dsd dac/preamp. Innuos pulsar streamer. Wireworld interconnects and speaker wires not sure of model.  Room is non treated 15x18. There is carpeting and window treatments.

room treatments are always good, but i agree with the get-a-sub--your kefs are great but i believe only go down to 35 or so.

Room treatments.  Hands down this will be the best bang for the buck.  Why spend money on better/more equipment when it will be conflicting with sub-optimal room acoustics????  Good luck and cheers 

If this list of equiptment doesn't sound fantastic then there's something wrong with either the room or the placement/location/toe in/ triangle size of the speakers and proximity to the listening position. You really don't need any more or better electronic gear. IMO.

Is this a dedicated listening room or a family/living room?  Your options may be limited in a shared space.  I highly recommend ASC tube traps as the most versatile tool for shaping and tuning the space.  The downside is aesthetics for some.

Without spending money, I would revisit your setup.  Speaker position and toe in changes of a few fractions of an inch can make a big difference.  Seating distance is another thing to consider.  Inspect cable routing, keep speaker cables away from power cables.

You mentioned window treatments but didn’t state what type.  I like horizontal blinds and wooden shutters.  Varying the angle has a noticeable difference in the reverberant sound field.
