All sorted and semi setup. They're already making a difference. Thank you very much Damian

Definitely go and see Lifestyle Store if you're near Sydney

How aren't these sold? They're light years above the ls50s plus stands.

I think Daz just wants to be one of the 'cool' kids who own Mac 😛 haha. I find they are pretty forgiving and all genres sound good. Maybe just a Mac pre Dazzler? Can you borrow one? I'd happily loan you mine if you weren't so far away.

Extreme bargain

Thank you. Will have to look into how to create filters with REW

With 1/3 smoothing. Kinda doesn't look too bad

Here is the waterfall but it doesn't look like any other I have ever seen

So here is the first measurements.... Blue is both speakers and no sub, red is with sub. Not 100% sure what tests I should be running I have watched REW vids in the past and read a little but finally using it is a learning curve

No I haven't moved it around much at all. I am in the early stages of playing around. When connected it helps a little where it is in pics.

So listening to Zhao Cong's moonlight on spring river a track I have heard on many systems and listened to 100s of times there is a section of deep bass that starts at 0:54 and it is very quiet in the seating position but only really where it should be in a few places around the room. I have found the UMIK and might start playing with it.

Yeah but it has been a constant and it has sounded much better before with it in the same place. I have also previously removed it and didn't make much of a difference.

Hi everyone, Wasn't sure which section to post in but I guess this will be the best. I have moved to a townhouse and thought that I would set my system up taking advantage of the room layout for music rather than how the room is designed for a tv/loungeroom layout. I will post pics below. I started with the speakers placed over a metre into the room from the back wall. There was no bass in the seating position but walking around it was good so a massive suck out. I have since pushed the speakers back and gained in the bass but there seems to be missing midrange and no emotion to the music at all which is why I love my tube Mac. The system has been in a few rooms now and usually it sounds pretty good no matter where I plonk the speakers. The furniture is all the same too. In this pic is how the speakers are now. I do have a sub which is a must for me in 2 channel. The speakers are relatively wide already but they are almost equal distance from the back and side walls which is a bit of a no no. So I am going to start playing around a bit more with positioning though any advice is very welcome. I have sat in on a speaker placement seminar before and took notes. There is also Dynaudio's Youtube vid on this that I will look at too. I also bought a UMIK which I haven't used yet but should start leaning to use with REW and loading the filters into Roon. Any help with that is greatly appreciated. I guess I will use this thread to track and keep the progress updated. The only other thing I think it could be is the tubes though they still should have plenty of life but they were left in when I moved though it wasn't far or a bumpy ride, they fared well after an interstate move when left in....

Check the WTB section mate

I love these. Thankfully they're not in Bris or I'd have another pair of speakers haha
