I moved to new house that has a lot larger listening room than my previous house. So, I retooled my system with the budget I had. I chose Polk Audio R700s for my speaker because they move a lot of air and have really deep base. Plus, they are easy on the ears, which is a plus for my tinnitus. I have bass traps and diffusers from GIK to treat my room, that made a huge difference. For cabling I have Oyaide Black Mamba on my server, Canare 4s11 speaker cables and on my McIntosh Integrated I will have a Hijiri Tukami. Yes, the Tukumi is twice as much as my speakers crazy I know. Anyway, I love this system!!!
emergingsoul-that is not a component, it is just a box with a sign. How do the ceiling panels affect things? I had someone hang on the front, side, and ceiling panels one day so I don't have a handle on how just the ceiling panels alone affects the sound. I will say the room treatments have been awesome for improving the sound, I highly recommend everyone give it a try.
Hi gotvinyl. I do have absorbers at the first reflection points on the side walls. You can't see it as it is just outside the photo view. I have one absorption panel on each side and 3 diffusion panels on each side.
vino_david, I had other speakers in this room before the Polks, Kelinac and Wharfedale, trust me the Polks move more air, a lot more. Plus, I had the Polks before the sub, I probably don't even need the sub. Glad you think the R700s are sh#t, I find them fantastic.
Thanks milpai, just one system now. I had a bedroom system in this house with Wharefdale Lintons, Bluesound Node, and Creek Evolution 100A Integrated, but I gave that gear to a younger guy that I know that wanted to get into hifi.
