Romy, you said there is no proper tone. In your old system/room setup you were very close to the back wall, but now it is far behind you. I'm probably wrong, but I thinkyou don't have proper sound in the mid-upperbass with this configuration which is responsible for loosing the "proper" tonal pressure. Generally it is very complicated and i can't give you any recomendations but in my opinion you must find where is the optimal listening position and to set the acoustic system in context of this zone and in the same time you must find a way how to excite your room to play with Macondo...

Thanks, Haralanov, I always like your thinking, good question. I wonder myself where the tone gone. The same speakers, the same amps the same digital front-end (I did not set up analog yet) but less interesting tone. As the factors that eat Tone I see the following.

1)    My Left channel has only a half distance with PAD Dominus, the rest is Radios Shake cable.

2)    This is I think is a main reason. The room is larger and has consequentially longer reverberation time at HF. It is absolutely not treated in a typical sense of this word and has naked walls as now. The room does not sound “bright” but I think the HF reflections inject the HF noise into MF, producing HF mist that dilute the tone. I still do not want to treat the wall and ceiling with explicit treatment.

My back wall is pretty far, the wall behind the ears is in fact over 15-20 feet away. There is a wall above/behind the listening position that is very bad for reflection and it is bare now. This is the wall what the mouth of the midbass horns will be, so I do not do any action on this wall for now.

I still do not measure anything and juts am collection information about the room.  I for instance discovered last Sunday a very cool way to regulate “bass” I n my room. I need a few pieces of custom furniture for the room (with some acoustic ides bolt in) and it will take for a while to find somebody who would do it as whoever is good looks like booked up to September….
