Description

A work in progress..but getting there! I have a tough room with floor to ceiling glass on the front wall and one side wall of a 22x20 space. Floors are hardwood over cement slab so my space is very live acoustically with a fair amount of slap echo. To mitigate this I have setup as a somewhat near field listening position with the speakers well away from sidewalls. The revels and sub have made a huge difference in the sound from the B&W 805s I was using.

Hi Spinaker,
I see you're a fellow Torontonian - nice to meet you! You must live in one of the many high rise condo buildings south of or near Front Street eh?! Love the view but the sound likely needs some work due to flutter echoes and glass walls which act as bass traps preventing some decent presurization of bass waves. Do you have thick drapes to close when listening? Try breaking up vertical flutter echoes with floor carpeting and/or ceiling panels like white RFG Skylines (see my system pics) or absorption. RPG makes glass covers that are see through that absorb sound I believe - just another idea. . . Have you experimented with placing the JL Audio sub closer to the couch rather than close to the windowed wall where bass will pass through the glass? Cool pad!
