System Pics 2021

The Atom actually performs really well with the PMC’s. it doesn’t have the control over them that my supernait 2 does. The bass is a little looser and not quite so dynamic, but for a second system and considering I already had the speakers, I’m more than happy.
It really is a good piece of kit.

Can I ask how long the spikes are?

OK thanks are these 3 time the price of sopra 2.

@StuW … thanks for making me review my measurements … I meant to write cm not mm … I did not measure the actual spiky bit before I put them under the speakers, but if I had to hazard a guess I’d say between 3 and 4 cm.

Thanks John,
Just trying to figure out how to get my speakers seated properly on carpet. I have started a thread - speaker spikes carpet and bass. Have considered the Gaias

Here’s mine…just added EE switch and Nucleus+ and some funky GIKAcoustic panels…

How are you finding the acoustic panels? Can you describe the difference thay have made and did you take a scientific approach to placement or just trial and error?

Hi IainW,
I had some bigger panels from the previous house but they were too big and the wrong colour so I decided to try the smaller hexagonal ones. I expected to hear a drop in sound quality. It is true that bass is a little less well defined now but it is fairly marginal (imho). There is a bass trap behind the sofa which probably helps. I confess to not using a scientific approach. I knew from the last house that panels help and I took a “leap of faith”.
The room was quite lively previously and there is less echo now. As a result, things sound clearer and less “bright”.
I am sure I could do better if the room was measured properly but I knew I had to compromise for aesthetics to some extent.

Enjoy, a lot of hard work went into getting a system like yours .

That looks stunning @scott.

What is the system make up? I couldn’t see from your profile.

Thanks @NorfolkT.
I hadn’t realised that my setup was not in my profile. I have updated it now.
Speakers are Focal Scala Utopia V2 (I know not everyone’s cup of tea but I like them). Source is ND555 (and an old HDX) and I am lucky to have a 552/500 combo with superlumina throughout. I’ll post some additional photos below.
