Hi Guys,
Is Kent's get together this weekend in St. Louis? I'd love to check in but will have to rain-check it if possible.
I was whining on the Asylum about hardness, lack of flow, and lack of detail after I listened to a dealer-rig recently that I thought I should have been somewhat close to.
After further investigation, his CDP outclassed and outpriced my digital rig about 3:1, his cables were about 3:1 over mine, and the speakers are known for their richness. All of this was at the opposite end of the sound spectrum from my system.
While I got the regular nonsense replies there, I also got some placement and configuration ideas.
The room is a square 20' by 20' with 12' ceilings...and a bowed wall of windows covers one side. This is a shared room and WAF is already only so-so. I can't push it any more. I implemented some of the Cardas square room suggestions which helped AND are temporary as I can move my speakers back into position as they're not too heavy. Does Pottery Barn or Crate & Barrel sell acoustical treatments? As those are about my only possible options for that sort of thing.
So anyway, that's my story. Have a good day. Its finally sunny here in KC. It's been an ugly week.
