there is nothing I can do with the layout of the room, the position of the speakers, or re-arranging the position of the TP in my stack, unfortunately... that level of my house is an open plan rectangle, with the kitchen at one end & lounge/home av at the other... with where my LCD is mounted and shelf/cabinets is for the equipment, the speakers can only be in one position, but for what I had to work with it seems to work ok.
I spent the weekend pulling everything out, re-configuring and tweaking.... put the straps in to the 703s so not bi-amping, and powered with only the Rotel RB-1080... little less bottom end through the 703s, but does seem to be a much smoother sound & I'm happy with it thus far :) tried re-arranging the stack so both amps were on one side, and my dvd/TP/beyonwiz on the other... amp stack won't fit, about 15mm too high... so my only option is to keep the TP where it is, on top of the rotel and under the beyonwiz... though after playing music for a few hours the TP was so hot to the touch I couldn't put my hand on it... I will however order in some of those black ravioli risers to give it more space between the components, hopefully that will help. put the old DAC8 in my bedroom with my SB Duet, it's just a small system with a pair of mounted Minipods & the Bass Station, & for that room sounds great... I know it's not "high end" but I was a fan of the old Blueroom pods from way back as a thought though, do you think replacing the Denon 4308, with say a Rotel RSP-1570 surround sound processor, & a Rotel RMB-1575 250w 5ch Power Amp, would make much difference? or is it going to be much the same? worked out I can get away with spending around $4,000 to get it done with trading in the Denon, but obviously there's little point if it's not going to make much difference -- FARQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FARQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70132 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
