System Help


Moved my system from 16 x 17 x 9 dedicated room to a dedicated 16 x 32 x 8 listening room. What once was a marvelous listening experience has turned into a diffuse, muffled, lifeless, boring system!

Speakers: Volent CL2i
Amps: ASL Cadenza
Pre: Allnic L1500 & Reference Line Preeminence 1A
2014 Mac Mini with Keces PS, SSD & maxed RAM

Any Suggestions? Can the room make that much of a difference?

Thanks

No one can say for sure, but from looking at your system, your amps may not be up to the task of running those speakers in a room that big. If you can borrow an amp from a friend or local dealer, that would probably be a good first move. If you can't borrow one, Cable Company has amps to send out for demo.
"In short, the more variety in the music I play the more I get confused. Things just popping in and out of the soundstage like I've never heard before."

Go to 1 of your speakers and swap the speaker cables position on the binding posts. Put the cable that was on the + post on the -, and put the - on the + post. Just do it on 1 speaker, not both, and then do some listening. If this fixes your problem, you shouldn't have any trouble hearing it rather quickly.
