curly joe Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Finally got around to taking some pics of my set-up so far. Pretty happy with how things are sounding at the moment, next step is to try and do something with the room, it's nearly square in dimensions and has 2 full walls of glass but doesn't sound too bad considering. Sorry about the grainy pics, it's only a cheapo camera.

THOMO Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Nice to see your system again Curly. Those Ambience Ribbons used to be mine but I could not get them sounding right in my room.A dipole thing I suppose. They sounded excellent in this much wider space though.Iwas glad to find a good home for them where they could achieve their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curly joe Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for all the kind comments guys, I'm finally starting to get the sound I wanted from this system so quite happy. Up coming things to try will be room treatments as mention before and I might have another crack at integrating the sub into my 2ch rig instead of just being used for HT.

nfi42 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Looking good, love the 1600s. wrt to room treatments, hanging something on the wall in between the speakers will give you improvements in staging and imaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta, I tinkered around with throwing a quilt over the plasma to see if that would improve things, I might give it another try. I'd like to do away with the TV and put PJ in later down the track which would make it easier to treat the front wall. I have an on-going problem with the soundstage being skewed a little to the left, I think it's 'cos the system is set up closer to the left wall so I'd like to treat that as well. Not easy when you've got a room full of glass and timber blinds covering it. Unfortunately room treatments seem to come with a very low WAF.
