Description

finished my office/listening/theater area. sounds great. padded carpet tiles on the floor help with sound and speaker placement. walls are 2x6 framed within the existing room with 2 layers of blown in insulation separated by a vapor barrier. insulated 5/8" gyp. board ceiling on hat channels. makes for one quiet room. looking for unique and modern solutions for sound panels. room size is 12' x 16' x 7'6" high.

i was running an audio research tube amp with these proac's before, now some of the magic is gone, thinking of switching to different monitors with more bottom end. any suggestions appreciated. thanks

System edited: well after selling all my 2ch amps and finishing my theater system (all Rotel) i figured that the Rotel would sound good enough for my turntable, i was wrong. so.....i went out and built a small 2ch set up to share the Monitor Audio RX2's, now i have it all.

coming from the smaller woofer on the proac's these MA's power thru my electronic music but lack the warm sweet sound at lower volume of my proacs on more vocal music but that was to be expected, i dont feel that i can over drive these without waking the neighbors first. overall i like them as a great all type of music speaker.

i picked up that stand from a local store, its by Boconcept. www.boconcept.com
they do modular type furniture in different finishes, its very sturdy, can hold over 200lbs.

System edited: Added Black Oval 12 cables and monitor audio RX2 speakers. Much better match to the PS Audio Amps.
