@baylinor  There is rockwool in between all the studs. I have 1/4 inch pegboard screwed and glued right to the studs all sides. The two walls behind the speakers that is all there is with fabric over the pegboard. The 3 walls opposite the speaker...

@baylinor  i agree that anything behind drywall wouldn’t work very well. Having a smallish room I did end up killing 2 birds with one stone. I had an acoustician design the room and I built it while the speakers were being built. I have no drywal...

@baylinor  A fantastic system indeed. I was just curious if you had considered building absorption right into the walls and ceiling to eliminate the need for bass and first reflection traps.    Regards  Ron   
My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000?
+2disc!!! The 866 is superb!  
Audioquest Storm Series power cables
I would say that if any improvement can be made the last 6 feet is where to try it. Anything before the panel is irrelevant.   
What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest?
@cakeaudio  Which one do you like more?   
Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k

Rockport Avior ii. 46 inches tall 220 lbs each   
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?
@g_nakamoto  Let’s see some pics! I’ll bet it looks awesome!   
Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria
@onehorsepony  We have Kanta 3s in our family room. They are not too bright. I suspect it is your room that needs some work to dial them in. The Sopras are really nice too. They also look way better than the Kantas IMO. Good luck ! Ron   
How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers
@james633  You are correct. I probably wouldn’t want them next to my Rockports. Would like to at least hear them though.    Regards Ron  
Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables
@nyev  My apologies if I gave the impression of having the Odin level PC. I unfortunately can’t afford that level of cabling. I’m only at the Heimdall level with everything which still sounds great but I would love to be able to move up. I have e... 
Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables
@nyev  I heard the B&W speakers at Axpona. For some reason they had the smaller ones in the good room and the new big ones in a small room. The smaller ones in the good room sounded really good. I have Rockport Avior ii speakers and i think y...

@nyev   It sounds like it’s time to upgrade your speakers to the level of your other top notch gear. Is that in the plans too?    regards  Ron

@rsf507  What cables did you find that give you the meat on the bones you were looking for ? I would imagine the top end brightness was also due to your speakers being on the bright side as well.
