| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @ishkabibil it is what it is brother. There was no way to replicate my set up at the sellers room. Truth be told they are sounding pretty sweet right now with the Rel dialed in. A much more detailed & spatial presentation than my ProAc’s. @... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @gregp858 MC452 dude I’m jonesing for that amp! Not looking to hijack this thread but one quick question, @ 450w it’s a beast, does it need a dedicated line? | |
| Speaker placement advise That’s roughly a 10x12 listening area correct? Tight space but it can work to your benefit. if your willing to work with speaker placement then check this out… https://youtu.be/CyTkwkK8ON0 | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Truth be told for the longest time I dismissed Mac as just high priced home theater gear. I finally heard a SS Mac rig paired with some big ass Electrostats and I woulda swore it was a tubed system. Impressive. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @baylinor As I previously stated, it’s my living space not a dedicated listening room. I’m not into living in an apartment that looks like a Hi-Fi shop. When non-audiophile guests come over I tuck the speakers away in the bedroom which gives me ... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @rocray Ha-ha! Oh but I have! Everything from a sofa with a pullout bed to an Air mattress. If I didn’t cherish sleep so much it woulda been done! | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @rocray I could leave today but I’ll make a run for it probably in 2-3 years. I’m in love with the build quality of these speakers, the Corian cabinets are incredible. I’d consider tucking them away until I move if I have to. In the right room wi... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @kingsleuy here’s the general layout. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @larry5729 Larry, I do not have a dedicated room, my listening area is the back end of my living space and cannot be rearranged. The room is 15x12 (17x12 if you count the recess in the front wall). The speakers are 5.5 ft apart, soundstage is deep... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @pesky_wabbit You ain’t kiddin! If your familiar with Rel settings, my ProAcs are xover 6 clicks and 11 clicks of gain. So far with these Ref 3A’s I had to bump it up to 12 clicks on the xover and 18 on the gain and I’m still not done dialing it... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @vuch All I wanted was a secondary set of speakers for late night listening. Seemed simple enough but noooo. @mapman No bueno! Definitely not right, I turned off the Rel as well and the music was skewed/not right. You know, bass issues aside... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @mapman ok so just swap the red/black connection on 1 speaker? | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @ericsch Yessss Sir. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @rbstehno Well I thought about doing that but the owner’s room was big, way bigger than my room so pulling them 10ft off the wall in a room that size seemed kinda pointless. I don’t doubt my amp. It’s more than capable, 200 w/ch, 1st 25w run ... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @mapman whats the worst that could happen if I mess with that? @tony1954 Listening to Johann Johansson “Orphee”, the detail and depth/height of soundstage and is amazing. This is the best mids & upper end I’ve ever heard in my room. I need to... |
