Hello All
Its been a while since I posted my last thread or even post for that matter but I am looking for any advice/discussion on where to go next or something I can improve in my current setup.
My room size is roughly 4m x 5m (13ft x 16ft) with my TV (55" 4k none HDR curved Samsung) against the longer 5m wall so seats are 4m away due to the layout.
I have the following currently in a 5.1.4 setup (I can do 7.1.4 if I plug in the other Ikon speakers, more on that below), bit of Dali house:
Yamaha 3040 Receiver (11 channel, 9 channel amp)
Dali Rubicon 6 front floor standing speakers (38-34000 Frequency Range, 4 ohms)
Dali Ikon Vokal 2 mk 2 (47-30000 Frequency Range, 4 ohms)
Dali Ikon 2 Mk2 Rear Speakers x4 (41-3000 Frequency Range, 6 ohms) <--only 2 connected atm as rears
Dali Ikon Sub Mk2 (26-100 Frequency Range)
Dali Alteco C-1 x 4 as Front/Rear Presence (sitting on top of the Rubicon and Ikons as up-firing) - (74-25000 Frequency Range, 6 ohms)
The Alteco's are a recent purchase, 1 day so still not fully tested these yet.
All speakers defined as small, cross over for Rubicon Vokal and Ikon mk2 is 60hz, 90hz for Alteco.
I am not saying I am disappointing or unhappy but just wanted to get peoples opinions (I appreciate the sound is subjective to everyone and other peoples personal taste is exactly that) on what I can do to move things to the next level.
For example, I am not sure if I am getting everything I can from my existing setup, is my receiver potentially under powered by driving all these speakers so adding external amplification will improve things? should I look to switch the receiver out (it doesn't support HDR or true 4k but nor does my TV yet but the TV will change at some point) or am I overlooking something more obvious.
I am in no way an audio expert, I actually have a very basic understanding of these things but a keen learner. I don't have a budget as such until I know what I might need to buy then I can set a budget for that. Mainly used for TV and Movies very little music and I like the immersive surround sound (where content supports it).
Thanks in advance!
