Mike D's System

Description

Worked very hard on the setup. Use RTA (RAL) to tune. Used room treatments for all first order reflections including the ceiling. Use DSP for a little node correction. Flat to 32hz. Imaging excellent - would be better if the room was wider. Have never heard a system in the same price range that sounded better.

It is hard to beat Triangle speakers. I had some Comete ES that I kind of regret selling but they didn't quite have the bass oomph that I like. I often wonder how a pair of Celius ESw would sound like compared to my 926s. I'd love to hear your system. Where do you live?
