Shakeydeal Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Nice. But that room could use some treatment on the walls, a rug on the floor and some overstuffed furniture. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently running my latent MD player through it and it sings! better than CD if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakey Hey Shakey, I know but my ceilings are 16ft and no matter what I did around the space, i decided that the real solution will be with the ceiling treatment, and since I don't own the place I am intending to hang heavyweight elevator protector blankets, the quilted kind.. I hope it helps with the acoustics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 With 16 ft ceilings you probably don't need treatment there. At least I wouldn't start there. But high ceilings make the need even greater for room treatment. I'd start with the first reflection points on the side walls and maybe something on the wall behind you. But even an area rug will improve things. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have some plans to convert a couple of room dividers to acoustic panels to stand behind the speakers. that wall is where I watch stuff at night so I can't really put anything in the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for sure that my M504 needs recapping despite it makes every speaker hooked to it shine; now with Cornwalls it is an entire different story. I just put 'Inflation Field' track from Roly Porter's Kistvaen album, and it shattered my room physically and myself emotionally, immediately as tremors ran through the space I got goosebumps. Not even sitting in front of the speakers. it is magnificent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again listening at low volumes, my preamp at 30%, M504 doesn't have pots, it is incredibly powerful, so much authority BASS: deep, extended, smooth, presence! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woolite in a bathtub and or shower should work well. Take your time and be gentle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
