What’s Next?
Hi Folks,
First off, a huge thanks to everyone with inputs on my previous posts as I start on this audio journey.
My system as of now: Macintosh MA352, Node Icon, Rel S550, and B&W CM9s. Considering a standalone DAC and a CD player soon but neither a huge priority.
I started the room treatments. I have two (not pictured) 48x24x4 at the first rejection points on the ceiling and on the side. I’m in contact with GIK and deciding if I need dispersion in the rest of the room to improve my soundstage. Also looking into additional corner traps. I think I’m struggling with some fluttering.
My room is 16’x10’x8’. The CM9s really need volume to sound great. I’m at the updating/upgrading point for my speakers. My first question is given the size of the room, are floors too big? I don’t want to go to big and constantly fight with them.
Lastly, do any of you have any experience with Arendal speakers or other direct to consumer audio? I just recently came across them online but I don’t know anyone that has them. Seem like a good deal but I get very nervous not being able to hear them first.
I know there’s a lot to unpack in this, feel free to comment on any portion. I greatly appreciate everyone’s experience and input.
Cheers!
