Brightness update

[Womaz]

PhilP an excellent post thank you very much.

I think i have more or less decided to go for some panels on my back and side walls, as my room is definitely a bit lively. It is a risk as if they dont work I am stuck with them. However I was considering paintings for the back wall anyway and these panels can be customised. So will probably got for this.

I did try to go back to 7.13 but found it made little difference, but I may try it again and use it for a week or so as opposed to a few hours. However when i did try it the brightness was still there, if I am testing it with the above tracks then that may be why as you found some of the problematic too. Yes I am using SAM......could this be affecting it?

I did out the VD speaker cable back in and lief it in for a day, but I really did not like it. It was even worse. It was brighter and it definitely lost some punch too, less exciting. This surprised me as I have always been a bit cynical as to how much cables affected the sound. Now I have heard it with my own ears I believe it. Dealer wants me to try the Tellerium Q Blue Diamond.

The USB cable is new , the Tellerium Q Blue . I think it is their entry level option. At £185 I dont see that as entry level

The speakers are an interesting one and I change my mind almost daily about whether that should be my next upgrade. At times when I am listening I actually think that the sound cant get much better than it is. On certain music they sound excellent. I do feel that have a slightly forward in your face signature, but I like that. i want to keep that but tone the sibilance a little, that may not be possible. Maybe it is all a compromise. My aim was always the 26s, but maybe not now. I have a shortlist and the Sonus Faber venere s is on that list. Like I say though I change my mind almost daily. I think for the price the PMC 23s offer exceptional value, and i fell that to benefit from an upgrade I may have to spend three times as much. I might not be prepared to do this especially as at times they sound fantastic.....and also bearing in mind this is in a room which is not ideal.

The volume point is an interesting one. All of the issues I have go away if I reduce the volume, but I admit to liking my music a bit loud. It can never be crazy loud as I live in an apartment.

i think the panels are a gamble worth taking....I just need my 23 year old fashion student daughter to buy into it and have some input...or at least feel as if she has

Once again thanks for the post
