Amp: CXA-81 Speakers: Dali Opticon 1 Mk2 Sub: Bowers & Wilkins ASW610 Turntable: Project Carbon Plant: Monstera
The curtains made the biggest difference to the sound, who knew.
First, mess around a bit with what you currently have, if you then still aren’t happy i’d advice you to go look at some Focal towers, like for example the Focal Vestia 2, vestia 3 or vestia 4 depending on your budget, or perhaps the Focal Theva 2 or Theva 3.
Thank you, I will have to try and do a listening test with the Focals and see how they stack up
For when you get the chance to get a listening test with them, enjoy!
I have a pair of Dali ikon 1 mk2 speakers and I love them. I had them for 10 years now but only recently last this year that I positioned them better which makes a huge difference. Audiophile’s Guide: The Stereo (The Audiophile’s Guide Book 1) by paul McGowan. I used this book and audio to set up. Highly recommended. I created a sound stage even with just two speakers and a subwoofer.
I don’t have a turntable. I put a hunk of marble on top of the same Ikea storage cube and put my sub inside it. works well.
