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
Very tasteful Scott Enjoy Peter
Lovely room and the system sits in there so well. Nice one!!
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?
Very classy looking digs.
A room and system made for each other. Nice.
Thank you all for the kind comments…taken a long time to get to this but happy to be here!

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

The pictures convey a strong message…‘this system means business!’.
and it certainly does the business…
Superb!
