Scott,

Its a fine looking room; what are the dimensions ? Is the room treated ? Any issues with room nodes ?
What other speakers have you had in this room ? How do the Giyas compare to the other speakers ?

Happy listening,

Philip

 

[Scott W]

Beautiful room!

Thank you MadFloyd.

Philip.

It is 17x22x9. I worked with Jeff Hedback(Hd Acoustics) for treatments and their placement. All the treatments are RPG except an ASC window Plug. I have many speakers(most are still there) in my room. The Giyas have a very organic and sweet sound that I absolutely love and the bass, oh the bass

Where is your dealership?

I see you are a dealer for B.M.C. but see none in the picture. I use their phono stage and have a pair of M2s.

 

[Scott W]

Plano, Texas. I use to sell BMC thru Brian Ackerman, but I think he is dropping the distributorship. Also I do not have all the products I sell in this pic, not enough room

Yes, I think he has already done that. I think Carlos is doing factory direct in the USA.

I will no doubt be up there sometime this month to visit High Fidelity Cables to see Rick Schultz. Could you tell me the name of your company?

Why do you think that is? Seems a really odd recommendation.

Not so odd if you already know Ken Ishiwata from Marantz:

At the show, Ishiwata is using one of his very typical set-ups, with an extreme toe-in of the speakers designed to take out of the equation the less-than-ideal acoustics of the room in which they're being demonstrated.

View attachment 29857Just added dual Rythmik 12SE subs. Fabulous! Posted many photos but for some reason can't get this one right.

 

[NorthStar]

Reminds me ? of the films Doctor Strange and Inception. :b

 

[Rodney Gold]

right way up ... are you using the dual subs to augment bass or are you using them to smooth the room using distributed bass... ?

Thanks Rodney.....I have never taken sound measurements of the system/room so I can't say for sure what is going on other than what I could hear. After I finally figured out where my best speaker/listening position is, I have been very happy with what I was hearing and had no intentions of changing anything. I had 2 Jl F113 subs in my HT system and needed to do some drywall work in there so I decided to (temporarily) use the subs in my main system. I was blown away with the changes. Better imaging, tonality, presence, etc. i decided to sell the Jl subs, and for the same money got the 2 12" for the main, and 1 15" sub for the HT. I just got everything hooked up last night in the 2 channel and with just the 'recommended' settings am already amazed with improvements.

Whether this is due to solely augmentation or addressing unknown suckouts, I am not sure, but likely both. Still waiting to get the 15 inch from Rythmik. Hopefully tomorrow.

Is the left channel closer to the wall than the right - or is it an optical illusion?

Pretty much equidistant from the side walls.

Thanks for clarifying. Also: nice room! I can imagine it sounds great with your Vivids!

Thanks. BTW, have you always had the CAT amplification, or is that a recent acquisition? Don't recall that amp/pre being in your system. Very nice indeed.
