| 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... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @tony1954 Thanks for this. That pretty much does sum it up. I repositioned the 3A’s as closely to the manufacturers guidelines and then played with micro adjustments, I’m pretty sure I have them as good as I’m gonna get with what I have. These s... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @oldhvymec Retiring soon brother and leaving this God forsaken state. a dedicated listening room is in my plans and down the audiophile rabbit hole I will go. Might even do the ugly chick thing too…Haha! | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @oldhvymec I don’t have a dedicated listening room. I’m in a studio apartment and my listening area is basically my living area / kitchen so I have to keep things aesthetically pleasing and utilitarian as opposed to looking like a hi-fi shop. Th... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @bjesien I have them on sand filled steel monolith stands spiked into my carpet…suckers are HEAVY and I use Herbies square dots between the plates and speakers. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? Update: I sent an email to the manufacturer and he graciously responded with a copy of their setup instructions. I’m still tweaking the positioning but boom! Game changer. I was waaayy off on positioning. The 3A’s are still a little light in the b... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @mapman These are the biggest monitors I’ve had in my rig (H15.7 x W12 x D13) and they have to be close to 40lbs each. My listening area is 15x12 (but the front wall actually recesses to 17ft.) The room I demo them in was a dedicated room substa... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @musicaddict I have a Rel T9x in my rig. I’m holding off on it while I try to get these bad boys to work on their own. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @fiesta75 no, no not arguing, I’m very appreciative of the support and it identified the problem…Thank you all. Placing them closer to the wall is not doable. I’ll just have to try and work around it. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @russ69 I’m happy with the ARC/Levinson, I’ll most likely just have to wave the white flag and sell the A3’s if I can’t get them to work their magic in my room. If they were an end-game speaker i’d definitely go down the path of upgrading compon... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @russ69 why would the amp & pre be an issue if I’ve had nothing but great results with every set of speakers up till this point? |
