Room correction. I recently added a McIntosh Men220 room correction unit to my system. It dramatically changed the sound for the better. I may do a full on report if anyone is interested. But, one of the big things it did was to align all of the phase and frequencies between my speakers and subwoofers. It adjusted phase and crossover frequencies, making all of my speakers work together. It was also a hit in the WAF, (wife appreciation factor) as my wife can decorate without multiple room acoustic treatments all over the room.
I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey
Hey Audiogon Community-
The basics of what I have now:
12x15 room with cathedral ceilings.
2x Schiit Aegirs in mono
Gustard R26 Pro
2x REL T/5X (next for an upgrage)
MAC Mini M1 with Audirvana Studio
Various cable upgrades and power conditioning
Back wall is treated.
What I want to upgrade are the B&W 705 S2 speakers on 30” stands.
I have enjoyed the B&Ws but I feel I am missing some general musicality, presence and depth.
As the impedance curve heads down to 4ohms on the B&Ws, the Aegir’s seemed to run our of steam. Otherwise, the amps sound quite amassing for what they are.
I have limited options for brick-and-mortar retailers to do in person listening. The closest oner to me made me feel like I was buying a used car. They immediately started discussing a $20K before even qualifying what I currently have, or about ny tastes or listening room.
I need a stand mount that is a stable or as stable as possible @ 8ohms and 89db efficient.
I have narrowed my choice to the Sopra N°1and would appreciate some feedback. Open to other options as well.
Thank you!!
