    New sound room woes

    Just built a new room 16'-2" x 21'. Moved my gear in and was so disappointed at the sound. Bass is non existent. Could it be that my ref 75 can't drive my Sonus Faber Elipsas? My old room had carpet and room treatment. Thanks.

    ARC and vib isolation

    I have read some opinions that isolation devices are detrimental to ARC gear. Just wondering if my Ref 75Se would benefit from some form of vibration damping. I am interested to hear from anyone who has experimented with this, or anyone who has heard any other opinions about this.
