Primary listening room/home office unfortunately it’s 11x11.5x8, so the dreaded box. The saving grace would the thick pile carpet in there so room resonance is damped.
I love the mid range warmth with this system. It’s super transparent, and has great imaging and soundstage.
The GIK panels have improved clarity and soundstage width greatly - really would recommend some treatment.
Currently playing around with my DIY Firstwatt F6 which is just lovely - I’m building a second to use it in mono blocks to get 100w / Channel into my 4Ohm speakers.
Sounds good but I’m so busy at the moment I’m not doing as much listening as I’d like.
@chiptech10 Yes - I asked the question on the diyaudio.com forums and got a great response on how to do it with photos too. It’s pretty straight forwards if you’ve built the F6
They sound great still, plenty of power for my small room but it makes a big difference and I can crank to over 100db no problem if I want to - which I don’t - I’m rarely above 75db on an evening or I’d wake the whole house!
I just got a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolutions, but I still love the Heritage Specials - they compete very closely with the GEs and have better imaging and soundstage but are more dynamic / forward in their treble/detail - the GEs presentation is warmer / darker and more relaxed.
I also just got GIKs alpha panels and am busy trying to place them correctly - right now everything sounds bright but there is more transparency there so I’ve obviously cleaned up some reflections but need to play around - I’ll upload a new photo or two once I’ve got things sorted.
I also just finished building a diy Firstwatt F6 which is a lovely amp and can put 50 watts class A into the 4Ohms Dynaudio and Guarneris which is ok for my listening levels and small room.
I have toys to play with but there are many many combinations to try. Fun times!
I do have the music on some of the time. Especially if I am doing work that requires focus. In fact I always listened to music while programming back in the day and if I put on my favorite underworld album dubnobasswithmyheadman I can get into a “flow” state in about 10 minutes, though headphones still work best. I do take breaks through the day and especially the late afternoon and the system goes on for sure, but I do a lot of video conferencing so not as much as I’d like.
I guess unfortunately as it’s smaller than I’d like and is square shaped so not ideal for acoustics. I have just bought GIK Acoustic panels to help tame the high frequencies a bit - so far so good.
Enjoy your music - I love your system and the room is awesome!
