Jolida 1501 sound gone from great to eh. Help

Thanks for the help! What distance do you recommend from the walls and between the speakers? Positioning the system along the short wall wont work because of the couch along the long wall.

Another thing Ive noticed in this apartment is the hiss from my speakers when no music is playing and the amp is on. I had an electrician replace all the outlets to grounded Leviton outlets. In my old apartment the system was dead quiet. In this apartment the hiss is pretty noticeable when youre a foot away from the speakers.

I think you need to play w/spk. placement. It sounds to me you need to set your spks. farther apart. Or you may need to buy floorstanding spks. If you like JM Labs perhaps the Chorus 710. Audio Advisor has a great deal going on these spks. I bought a pr. and I'm most pleased w/their sound. Much better bass than either the 705/707. Have patience and things should get better. Good Luck!

Hi. Like Twl mentioned, it could be an acoustical issue.
It certainly could be other issues causing the lack of focus and imaging. Perhaps power line issues, and you also may want to make sure not to run you power cords too close to interconnects and other cabling.
If that is not the issue, try re-positioning your speakers.
If you toe them in towards you, you can minimize first/second order reflections and reduce slap echo.

Also, sometimes when you move a system and cables, it takes a few days, maybe even weeks for everything to settle down again.

Sounds to me like you have some wild reflections going on though.

Also, you could have some doubling of certain frequencies, make sure your speaker positioning is not causing this.

There are plenty of good sources about room acoustics on the web, including the web sites of acoustical treatment companies.

There are also plenty of inexpensive ways to 'treat' your room.
Will post follow up if you wish..........

Hope this helps........

Try rotating your system 90 degrees so your speakers are on the short wall. Set them about 7 feet apart and about 3 feet out from the wall. Sit about 10 feet away. This should help your imaging and overall tonal balance. I think the room is also big enough you may want to consider a sub. Since you have no furniture (I remember those days:) ) this should be easy.

You must acoustically treat the room and find correct speaker placement in that room. You may find that you have to turn the volume level up more to reach similar SPL as your smaller room.

This is normal when changing listening rooms.
