"...so this is my system whats next..."

To be blunt. A good two channel pre-amp and dump the ceiling mounted speakers. Then work on perfect speaker placement.

To be blunt, ceiling surround speakers usually save space. TBH, I've never lived in the place where I could place surrounds on stands

Next is moving. Your best next upgrade would be a dedicated sound room. Yeah I know, that’s possibly/probably not an option. I’m in the same boat.


Other than that I would suggest some specialist audio furniture perhaps? I had a quick peek at your system - I cannot tell if your current furniture is designed for audio but it doesn’t appear to be.

thanks room furniture is set apart from im thinking of changing coffee table.

i could add some form of accoustic treatment in alcove around tv but when i chuck a big thick blanket over it. it didnt change the details at all.

Regular furniture is not the same as a properly designed audio racks. I had terrible sibilance on my system and I changed DACs, transports, cables etc. Nothing worked. Not until I took my transport off the coffee table and put it on a good audio rack. Sibilance gone. I could have kicked myself.

Ditto with the blankets. Blankets aren’t acoustic treatments. Invest in some properly designed diffusers and place them on the first reflection points.

You spent good money on your gear. Don’t short change it by cheaping out and not getting proper stands and room treatments. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how proper stands and room treatments work.

thanks. not trying to be difficult. but. my wife wont allow a audio rack there. it needs to look like a piece of furniture and most cables hidden. im not sure i can do much more with my room. 

any other ideas

The system looks good ... !
The area seems spacious enough for a good listening environment.
The ceiling cloud is likely helping a bunch ... possibly more panels on wall (when possible) to aid RT60 response.
Possibly some fine adjustments to placement.
Nothing wrong with in ceiling surrounds.
Very nice.
