The drivers will take more time to loosen up and I'm sure you'll find the best placement for them by experimentation. Personally, there is no way that I'd part with that sort of money without living with a well used pair of speakers in my room for at least a week.

If you have an acoustics problem, he/she should be able to assist you in identifying it. R U STILL AMAZED BY YOUR SOUND SYSTEM???? - samsoum - 10-Apr-2017 @Axel: wilson audio burn in period is 90%done in the first 24 hours according to their documentation, plus the pair i bought was the demo one ( i bought it for a good price). @baconbrain: yes that s my next step , dealer assesment, by that time speaker placement is my new game!

Placement will help allot, but from your photos it seems you are sitting quite a bit further from the speakers than the distance they are apart from each other. I would play around with how far you sit from the speakers and toe-in as you do such. You might be sitting in your rooms bass null spot. Wilsons like to be close to a unilateral triangle with quite a bit of toe-in. Jeff R U STILL AMAZED BY YOUR SOUND SYSTEM???? - samsoum - 10-Apr-2017 Hi jeff, I m just having a session on my livingroom with some placements. My room dimensions are 8,03m*3,60m and the height is 3m. My sabs are 2,65 m a part(from tweeters), 47 cm from sidewall, 91cm from rear wall. My seating position is 3 m from the tweeters . Both sabs are toed in to my face when seated.sound is improving..... bass also. Sam is off now. I noticed today, that, to be able to feel the live perf sound i need to go up the volume -0db!!!! The speakers then disappears. -10db volume is a minimum for me now, forget about the old -20db. I think my livingroom volume is playing on this and this might lead to add a companion, anyway not in 2017!

Make sure your center unit and TV is as far back as they can go it will help the center image. After that hopefully you can maybe treat your first reflection points. RE: R U STILL AMAZED BY YOUR SOUND SYSTEM???? - yabaVR - 10-Apr-2017 Hey Samsoum, give it a try and pull off the frontcovers of the Sabrinas. We did that to a pair of Sophia III while in a tuning session and it improved every sound characteristic (bass, highs, stage, etc.) by a large margin. One more...is that a Power LAN Adapter behind the TV in the socket? I know these adapters are so comfortable but they suck when it comes to SQ. These Power LANs mess up your whole power line and especially Devialets don't like this kind of messy power quality for perfect SQ. Try and test the SQ difference with a cheap LAN cable to your router to verify my thesis (don't forget to pull the Power LAN off both sender/receiver). One more thought because the Sabrinas were demo as you wrote. Are these exactly the Sabrinas you heard in the shop? If not they might need some extra hours (minimum >300h from new) though. Most demo speakers are not completely burned in as a demo in a shop (unless it is a 3 years demo speaker). But ignore if you heard exactly these Sabrinas in the shop. And at last...my experience is that every part of the signal chain has to adapt to a new component. It's a fluent process for speaker cables, Devialet, power cabels and can take up to 3 weeks for the whole system...so take your time and let it run 24/7 if it's possible. gui R U STILL AMAZED BY YOUR SOUND SYSTEM???? - samsoum - 12-Apr-2017 Hi yaba, Those are not lan power adapter but just power adapters.( pics joined). Most of my serious listening is without the grills. Now i m on Air 3.0.4 mac and devialet wired .(all ethernet cables very ship ones) Linksys switch , tv and receiver are linked to that power adapter and devialet is linked via burmester entry level power cord directly to wall socket. Sound is very very good now, few speakers placement made sound more open and bass more tight now and controlled! Giving myself more time to get used to the sound,i think cleaning the network hardware( some isolation tweaks like intona, better cables like supra cat 8..) will give my system some benefit. A power conditionner like audioquest niagra 1000 will add some punch as well.. but step by step... i m much happier now!

That may not be the most relevant adjective, but I am happier than I have ever been with the sound I get from my audio system. I purchased a Wyred4Sound modified Sonos Connect and it is a revelation. A huge improvement over the stock Sonos Connect in terms of ease, grace, and a more natural sound. Then I added Nordost Purple Flare power cords to the Connect and the Sonos Amp that drive the kitchen in-wall speakers. Again, a very nice improvement from the power cords, mostly in the leading edge of notes- sort of a PRaT thing. Then I settled on a Nordost Blue Heaven coax cable (after trying Kimber and others). I'm not a Nordost fan necessarily but this seemed the best fit in my system (and it was seriously on sale). I would never have believed a silly coax cable would make a difference, but yes, it did. Result; the best sound I've had from my system. Lively, dynamic, tonally-rich and secuctive. More equipment shopping? Nope, not for a while. I'm staying right here with my pizza-box, funky cables and lovely Lawrence Audio speakers. So, regarding the thread topic: unqualified yes. R U STILL AMAZED BY YOUR SOUND SYSTEM???? - samsoum - 13-Apr-2017 Very nice damon! I think also cables make Nice improvement ! I will never invest more than 1000 $ though on any cable wherever it is! May be on power conditionner, there are so f..... Expensive! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
