Speakers on a cabinet .. open to suggestions..

So…the current speakers sit in a 40” high cabinet..

There are acoustic panels behind them.  They are  14” from the back wall and about 3 feet from any sidewalls. The room is 21 feet wide, 19 feet deep, 10 foot ceilings..

Behind the main listening area the room is open to the kitchen.

I realize this is considered a very compromised setup, but it’s what I’ve got to work with.

Current speakers are Fritz Carrera B with the rear port plugged.  They are great speakers.  Just curious about anyone’s experience/ recommendations regarding this setup. A rear ported speaker, the port being plugged (too boomy without, and I use a single node DSP for a room node at 60hz) is not ideal so I’m open to speaker    Suggestions.  Not unhappy, just curious about opinions .

 

Solid state Mac mini->D-link router with LPS-> blue jeans Ethernet to ether regen-> optical out to optical Rendu (the ether regen and optical rendu are attached to a crespi LPS from uptone audio)-> audioquest Diamond USB -> Mojo Audio EVO B4B-> art audio balanced inner connect (the Rhodium ones)-> Pass Labs XP-20-> same art audio inner connect-> Pass Labs 150’.8-> art audio speaker cables-> Fritz Carrera B on iso-pucks..also an REL G-2 sub..

A - You could not do much better.  You can do different, and you can spend a boatload of more cash.

B - Cross the speakers up higher, say 80 Hz and leave the DSP for the sub.

C - Consider Isoacoustics speaker stands.  They have the ability to tilt the speakers, and they are a lot cheaper than the IsoAcoustics pucks.

D - Depending on the set up you might want to flip the tweeter and woofer around.  Generally, you want to be between the tweeter and woofer axis.  You may find you like listening on the woofer axis a lot more.
