Thanks Dave! I saw in your profile that you use Gaias on your MF9s. Were they a big improvement? Right now my XL10s are spiked through the rug.

Morning tunes and breakfast in the Man Cave… Life is Sweet!

Or various slightly different angles depending on where the cushions are and whether I can be bothered to move them.

Footstool is usually pulled out. But at the moment I’ve three frenchies sprawled asleep around me.

I don’t know how they work, but work they certainly do.

If you do decide to try them, you’ll need to ask AudioT for studs with thread size / pitch 12 X 1.75, since the calculator on IsoAcoustics website is incorrect, assuming the threads on your XL10s are the same as on my MF9s.

Give the ever helpful Bob Surgeoner at Neat a bell, maybe?

Slightly messy cables right now. One for another day.

…do you reposition the rack around the room to improve the sound?

formelyknownasMoog · February 11, 2023, 5:28pm

I have to contend with protesters as well.

Eoink · February 11, 2023, 5:34pm

Or use the heat from the electronics to help dry the clothes? Time to move to Class A amps.

Unfortunately can’t get back far enough but love it all just the same

What speakers are they?

Thanks Dave - very helpful

A bit of a grainy pic due to poor light and rubbish phone camera. Started more near field listening recently which has improve bass and imaging helped by some REW measurements and speaker repositioning.

Speakers in lots of free space. Must sound great.

Boxes are behind the left hand door. Birkenstock optional. Another abject performance from Wales.
