Recently moved and found my new room the most challenging to date. Limited bass response initially and placed speakers closer to rear wall than I would have preferred. Isolation under each component in addition to Nordost sort cones under cd. Possible future upgrades include turntable and ability to handle computer/streaming audio (DSD). Looking at Nordost Sort Fut to replace speaker spikes. Any thoughts??
Happy New (Audio) Year! Hope you've been doing well....did you switch the pre-amps yet; how do you find the Edge pre versus Allnic? Is the Edge back in the system yet? Where are you located?
First off,...that's a great line-up of gear; the 800Ds are a very nice speaker and the Edge and Esoteric gear are first rate. Twilo's question is on my mind too; what pre-amp do you favor for most listening (I don't see the Edge pre in the picture, do you still have it). Having owned the NL 12.1 for MANY years, I can tell you that you should not have any issues from the amp or Edge pre-amp side with bass response. The 800Ds are 32Hz +- 3db on the low-end so placement is definitely at issue here. Have you tried toe-ing in the speakers at all or blending in below 36Hz with a REL or M&K sub running directly off the amp mains? You are up against a window on the right side and have a long hall and presumably more open space to the left so your room is not helping with bass in many ways. Are there other options for how/where you place this system? Available to speak via phone if you are interested....ping me on Audiogon in-mail and we can get a conversation going....
