Dear all
As an addition to my recent thread 'Worth replacing a Monitor Audio RXW12 sub with something more exotic!?' placed in the subwoofer forum, I wonder if anyone can give me some advice on the Audyssey XT32 images from the latest results I had yesterday on our system? I am a complete novice so any help would be appreciated! Below is the text from my previous thread and I will upload the Audyssey screens with this
Thank you
Hi all,
Hope you are all well and enjoying your systems while we are at home!
It’s got to that time when I’ve gone around tweaking most things in our set-up and started looking at any ‘upgrades’
Our current system comprises of Monitor Audio Silver RX8 floorstanders, Silver RX centre, Silver RXFX side surrounds and an RXW12 sub, all purchased in December 2010. They are linked to a Marantz SR7012 receiver, which in turn is linked to Rotel RMB1075 THX 5 channel power amp, which powers the front three channels. We also added two Cambridge Audio Minx Min 22 speakers for Atmos duties, placed at ceiling height, at the front of the room, above the floorstanders a few weeks ago.
At the time, we thought that there were better subs around, but the RXW12 was a good match to the rest of the speakers for its price. We previously had a REL Q150E (mark 1) for our first home cinema system.
Well, after looking through the speaker section of the forum, I started looking through the sub section with reference to BK Electronics, SVS, Arendal, Power Sound Audio, Earthquake Sound and Fyne etc. I can hear my wife groan now!
We mainly listen / watch TV and movies using an Epson EH-TW9400W projector shining on a React 2.1 borderless screen. ‘Normal’ viewing is on a Panasonic 65FZ802B OLED.
I’ve calibrated the sound with the Marantz Audyssey XT32 set-up on the receiver and also downloaded and used the Audyssey XT32 app on my iPad. It all sounds fantastic. Much more open and enveloping than the Pioneer LX83 receiver we had previously, although that sounded pretty great as well.
In a way, I’m not sure if we are missing anything in terms of movie sound or the occasional music listening on CD and streaming with the Monitor sub. But it’s probably the only thing I can think of which will be ok in terms of ‘updating’ that my wife will agree to after the fairly recent OLED and projector upgrades.
I’ve included a rough diagram of the room layout to help with any suggestions.
Thank you for any thoughts.
