gmdodd office

Description

Primary listening room/home office unfortunately it’s 11x11.5x8, so the dreaded box. The saving grace would the thick pile carpet in there so room resonance is damped. 

I love the mid range warmth with this system. It’s super transparent, and has great imaging and soundstage.

The GIK panels have improved clarity and soundstage width greatly - really would recommend some treatment.

Currently playing around with my DIY Firstwatt F6 which is just lovely - I’m building a second to use it in mono blocks to get 100w / Channel into my 4Ohm speakers. 

Sounds good but I’m so busy at the moment I’m not doing as much listening as I’d like.

@gmdodd, good system 
I can related to your room as me have even smaller. I treated all corner with ASC tube and panel in front and back wall .
But I still can hear clap echoes on top ceiling so my next step is to deal the top.
I’m listening near field triangle set up within 7 ft. Me also have dynaudio monitor before and love it 👍
