Hi, this looks like a friendly active forum, I hope I'll be able to get some advice on my room, other than move home!
I'm looking for advice on optimising my set up please.
I'm a bit limited in positioning so things will need to stay in the same place.
I felt the floor mount speakers were just too much so invested in some Monitor Audio Bronze stand mounts to sit on the media shelves.
Found a Arcam DV88+ in a charity shop which I understand has a pretty good DAC so snapped that up.
Planer 2 has been serviced now, turned out it needed some extra work which I wasn't going to be able to do. It has a new cartridge AT95EN.
I've stuck with my Audiolab 8000A.
I think it sounds good, loving having vinyl again!
I'm aware that this is an odd space and we're pushed over to the wall but I can only work with what I have.
I'm thinking some wall treatment might be a sensible cost effective way forward.
Having been away from decent audio for a long time I'm not sure whether my sound is good or bad, I'm bloody sure the corner places speaker isn't doing me any favours. They are front ported which godsend, and have six inches of breathing room behind them as the shelves are pulled away from the way.
I've noticed a left hand bias and tweaked the balance to correct. I presume this is down to the speaker positioning. Speakers are toed in to an equilateral triangle with the listener.
It it worth putting some panels on the side wall on the left or behind the speakers. It needs to fit the aesthetic of the room. Original idea had been acoustic wood paneling around the TV but my budget has taken a battering.
Any input really welcome
