Did you get the response graphs of your room before and after adding the diffusers and bass trap?

 

Sorry bro...reply 2+ months late.  ;p  Don't have a plot before and after the side diffuser.

 

Before the bass trap.

 

1st plot is after putting in the bass trap, but before tuning.  2nd plot is after tuning the bass trap to reduce the 40Hz room peak.  These 2 plots were recorded on a different day compared to the previous, and at a different volume setting, which explains for the different level.

A slight change of scenery... :D

 

 

Congrats bro, happy upgrading along the journey!

 

I found similarities in our setup, my previous one is also RS6+RSLCR, stereo drived by USP-1 and UPA-1 X 2 too, now pre and power no change, RS6 upgraded to Dynaudio Focus 220, however, I found the setup kinda slow, no live and dynamics.... Not sure whether USP-1 is the culprit, or other parts of my setup like UPA-1 or Mogami speaker cable should bear the responsibility.

 

What about yours with Harbeth? Thinking of changing my pre but afraid of pulling the wrong trigger....:(

I think the USP1 with the UPA monoblocks is a pretty decent combi considering their price bro. To my ears, the Super5 sounds fine powered by the Emos. So not quite sure if it's the preamp, and furthermore I think the Emos pre and power works quite well together, so I'll be hesitant to part them. I have not heard of the 220, but I did audition the Focus 140, and it wasn't really the sound I was looking for.

 

If you like, you are welcome to drop by my place and have a listen to the Harbeth powered by the Emo  ;)

Updated. Got a new Wharfedale aubwoofer Sw150, & it really improves the experience compared to Polk Audio Rm6750 ones. Centre speakers upright also improve sound. Also found mu crossover frequency had been set wrongly to 40hz for main speakers.  Change to 80hz & sounds better! Happy..

yea. u r right. i couldn't find a low speaker stand instead i found these stools. quite stable. just normal wall paper to make my room dark. using dark paint will have white stain after months.

 

Bro Weiz87, aren't your fronts too low? Personally I would set the tweeters to be at my ear level when at listening position...

 

my front just nice my listening ear. that y i added the stools =) not very sure about my surround placing though. is it good enough? thinking of adding back too. but seems like no place. can't find a suitable stand too...
