Description

this is my system. its still very simple. for some reason when i look at it it looks so bare, i think i need to add a few more components. ha! any comments as to what useful additions there might be for me at this stage would be appreciated. it sounds great to me, although i have about a months worth of upgrading left before i can say its complete(for a while at least). i will upgrade the player in a few weeks, just because its the lowest end piece in the system and im considering what other players(for music only and ill keep the dvd player a for movies as i only watch occasionally). ill also be adding a bunch more room treatment, bass traps etc, and a second subwoofer, although the james is a great little sub, i want a little more fullness in the very lowest region, so im considering another james 1000 or possibly a rel britianna B2??? not sure if even another james will do what i want, but i want to keep it cause its so fast and tight, very smooth, musical little sub.

Mainlymusicman, how do you like the tylers? I was thinking of getting the seas odin kit, which is very similar.

About the fiberglass panels, you have to experiment on their placement. I would treat the 1st reflection point first and listen for the improvement. Then 2nd reflection point and listen and so on. Sometimes too many panels will sound worse than no panels at all. I like my front wall to be fairly dead with some diffusion and rear wall live, but you may have different preference.
