Description

Not having decades to work on building an endgame system I thought I would go for one from the start so I could just enjoy the music. There may be small changes here and there but for the most part this is it. Happy so far. I built the room while the speakers were being built. Professionally designed by Jeff at HDacoustics there is no drywall inside the room and this room definitely punches above its weight.

Hello mashif. Thank you. Getting into the hobby so late and not knowing anything about acoustics I figured I needed help. I met Duke LeJeune at Axpona and he  recommended Jeff Hedback of hdacoustics. He designed the room and I built it while my speakers were being built. He did a great job on the design and I’m very happy with how it performs. I did add some diffusers of his design as well and that helped get a fuller sound in the room.

Thank you creditingkarma. I may give separates a try in the future but the Boulder had such positive reviews in the forums I decided to give it a try.

Thank you. I believe it was worth the effort but I was really sweating it before the speakers broke in as the bass wasn’t there. I thought it was the room.

Thank you. I’m also looking into adding a REL or 2 as I think I have a mode in the listening position. We brought 2 S510s from the home theatre upstairs and that appeared to take care of it.

Thank you. I’ve been enjoying it very much. My dealer also sells Magico. We listened to the S5 with the Boulder 866. They sounded good but we preferred the Rockport. I haven’t heard the Krell integrated but they get great reviews and I would like to listen to it someday. It sounds like you have a great system. Happy listening !

Thank you whitefishpoint1175. Our upstairs system was supposed to be movies and music but there were so many distractions and I knew a dedicated room would be much better we just went for it.
