I feel relaxed just looking at that photo. Great stuff!
replacement-for-titan-808s…will be lately 909s
Another option is to keep the 808’s but remove the bottom box from each speaker, they then be nice and compact with a little less bass!
I find them very listenable just 4-6 inches off the wall, but I wheel them out to between 12-18” for serious listening. They are more upset by corner proximity than by the back wall. Need to keep them a metre or so in from any room corners.
Thanks KJC - that rules them out. That’s a pity as I think they are very beautiful speakers
My grandfather always used to say, “And if you hang by the neck long enough you get used to that too.”
Neil the room is 19 feet long and 12 feet wide and I sit about 14 feet from the speakers.
Thanks Michael - that’s interesting. Our room is about the same width and almost as long, but I have my speakers firing across the room rather than how you have them. My system sounds fine, but seeing how you have your system set up has given me some food for thought.
Firing across the room was not really an option in this room added to the fact that I prefer to sit a little further back than listening near field.
Really it all comes down to good fortune, in my case firing down the room works superbly for me despite maybe going against convention, but at the end of the day you either have a listening room that works or if it doesn’t you have work to do to tune it.
The other downside is I do need a full 9 metre set of speaker cables which at Super Lumina and the like level do not come cheap.
Thanks Hollow. Been there, got the T shirt. She batted it away like Sir Donald Bradman with a Sunday League bowler. I thought it was worth a try!
