thebilljim Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 So giving my speakers more space will result in better audio output? Pretty much. I don't know the exact science behind it, but effectively you're cramping the sound wave - especially if your speakers are ported in the back.

Brody Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Dalis are particularly sensitive to placement too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freki Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Yeah, placing them so close together is sub-optimal. (Like the overall aesthetics of the set-up though, just needs some tweaks.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinylGyroid Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I haven't got any photos yet as I'm still putting the setup together piece by piece, but I thought I'd share regardless.Denon DP-300F (w/ 2M Blue) > TCC TC-750 Phono Preamp > NAD C352 Integrated Amp > Monitor R90HD's / AKG Q 701'sI've got the NAD C352 and AKG Q 701's already, next week I'll be buying the Monitor R90HD's with a set of speaker stands (if the secondhand pair I'm looking at doesn't sell by then, if they do I'll pick up some Wharfedale Diamond 10.1's) and probably the preamp. Then it's just saving up for the turntable!This is the area where I'll be putting it all (sorry for the cell phone picture) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allenh Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I think we should start a fund of some sort for Seafinch, being forced to use that entry level stuff is obviously abuse of some kind. Seafinch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinylGyroid Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I'm going to generously donate my old Crosley to Seafinch as soon as I upgrade, because clearly that would be a step up or two from his Thorens. Seafinch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafinch Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 You guys are the best. Can't wait to hook my new Crosley up to some Sony boom box speakers. You think I'll need a separate phono pre (too lazy to read the beginners thread)? thebilljim and VinylGyroid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebilljim Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Why not just get a Crosley with built-in speakers and forget the Sonys? ^ valid point. No sense spending any money you don't have to. Built-in's are just as good as anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quake1028 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 This last page or so has been pretty great. Looking forward to taking some snaps of my new setup in the next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinylGyroid Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Why not just get a Crosley with built-in speakers and forget the Sonys? Not to fear, my Crosley that I'll be donating has both built in speakers AND a built in phono. It's almost too good to be true, right? texan4life and Seafinch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobyblue Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Main rack, from top to bottom: Goldring GR-2 turntable, Pioneer Elite BDP-62FD with Parasound Zphono behind it, Toshiba D-R410 DVD Recorder, JVC dual cassette deck (TD-W254), PlayStation 3 sitting on top of Orei BDP-M2 region free 3D Blu-ray player, Bell Satellite HD PVR sitting on Panamax M5100-PM Power Conditioner, Onkyo TX-NR3010 with an Antec AV Cooler on top to keep it running extremely cool to the touch.I've upgraded my main speakers from Paradigm Monitor 11v4s to Acoustic Energy AElite 3s, they cost over twice as much as the Paradigms but I got an incredible deal from them as the line had been discontinued a couple years ago, paid about 30% of MSRP, yes OF, not OFF. The smaller footprint has allowed me to install them further away from the wall and the bass response now is absolutely magic. All walls have sound insulation behind them, but definitely the new placement brought the bass to a new controlled, deep and precise level. I now no longer listen to CDs with the AVR's DSPs crossover engaged to include my sub (Paradigm Servo 15v2) but rather in PURE DIRECT mode like I do all vinyl.Here's a pic of the AElite 3s when I first brought them home and had them set-up as my zone2 speakers, before I moved them downstairs.(Grilles off for pic)More system pics here - http://www.blu-ray.com/community/gallery.php?member=dobyblue&folderid=8407 slinch, drewvandal and Sidney Crosley 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaizada Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Wow. What happened to your Omegas? I'm still really intrigued by the whole single driver thing... I guess you found something you liked better. Hey bud! I finally was able to find a speaker that gave me that single driver coherence and imagine with much better dynamic capabilities. Being ultra sensitive to crossover designs, it took a while to find something that fit the bill. The single driver path MUST be pursued so keep at it. The experience is very important I think...but yes, I am happy with what I found and my friend now owns my beloved Omega speakers. He enjoys them everyday. Are you a Cowboy/Astronaut/Millionaire? He's a high school substitute teacher. He just prioritized his money unlike you chumps. High school substitute teacher is correct! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamha21 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Getting too many records and swapping in a few different components so I had to make some changes to the setup. I decided to actually get a rack for components and now have moved my record cleaning station to on top of the Kallax. Quake1028 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
