How to you find them tightly placed in corners? Do you get any problems with bass emphasis?

Not in the slightest

Interesting how rooms vary. My 40s are active and I really need to have them half a metre out from the rear wall and over a metre from the side walls for the best imaging. And that’s with Linn’s Space Optimisation on. But I think the actives may be more prone to provoking room resonances.

Agree Roger, those 40’s are pretty powerful and in my room they like room to breathe. If I had a bigger room I would be keeping them…

It depends a lot of the surface materials of the room. For example, if those walls are thin partition walls and the floor is floating wooden floor then the bass might just go through without causing problems. You might even have weak bass in rooms like this. Then again, if everything is thick concrete, there will be problems.

Also, here’s my current rig. The speakers look the same but are a different pair of 50ASL’s. I actually got a chance to swap my matte black 50’s to black ash (which is the finishing I originally wanted), so I did it.

Lovely system there, just curious, do you now have the Mola Mola Makua Preamp. ? If so, is it with the Tambaqui Streamer / DAC board ?
It’s preamp only. Local dealer had Mola Mola Tambaqui and Makua as second hand units. I borrowed them both. My own setup was DAC200 + Pass Labs XP-12. I tried all combinations and liked DAC200 + Makua the most. Tambaqui + Pass Labs came in second place. Full Mola Mola was little bit too intense for me.
