System Pics 2020

Looks great :+1:t3:, did you get professional help with it? Cool staircase too. Enjoy Peter

Thanks. both the project and the treatment were done by a professional company here in Italy called audioquality. I havenā€™t had time to listen yet because they did The installation today and then I spent a lot of time reassembling and cleaning everything.

I had a look at the specs, 89 dB. I would have thought you would have had great bass. Fairly sensitive speaker there. Same as mine. I know the more powerful amps will sound better. I am on a bit of an upgrade path too. But the bass that comes out of my speakers with the atom is nothing short of amazing. Have you tried different cable? I have two sets of speaker cables, 3 mmsq plain o f copper, and 4 mmsq silver plate copper. If I use my silver plate copper, the treble level is elevated and they sound thin. If I use the pure copper, warm and meaty.

This is a video I recorded of my speakers playing through the atom. If you put some headphones on you can hear much better.

Few more vids with different types of music if you click my profile up top.

I donā€™t mean to sound like Iā€™m saying ā€œmines better than yoursā€ or anything. When I got my atom I was quite disappointed as I had it hooked up through this silver cables that I have used with everything else. I dug our my old ecosse es.2.4. And the whole sound changed.

I hear you and I know youā€™re not saying yours is better, although I believe it sounds great ( the larger woofers surely add authority to the lower registers ) - your uploaded video has confirmed (at least for me) that I need to play around with cables to find the best fit. I do, however, need to repeat what I said earlier; that you really have done a wonderful job on your speakers, well done mate.

Thanks mate very much appreciated. If you are handy i can point you in the direction of a good bass unit design using the Hypex Ncore plate amps to get yourself 500 wpc of low end goodness.

Great album. When this came out it quickly became one of my favourite demo discs back in the day.

When I dismantled my system to decorate our lounge my wife was even unhappy when I put it back.

If I had tried to set it up elsewhere in the interim she would have gone berserkā€¦

Probably a bit late now after 42 years of marriage, but where do you find these understanding wives? If you could tell me I could at least try to keep mine on her toes!

That is one of the great mysteries of life. They seem to be few and far between.
