Craig, it's a beautiful system and room. Non traditional setups often result in better sound, IMO. My room is a full 40 feet long and I leave the door open to allow the bass to flow unimpeded out of the room. Those mono amps are boss and speakers amazing. Congratulations on a system that I am sure took many years of planning and work. Enjoy to the fullest.

Best

Charles

I have 11 HRS Damping Plates, starting with 1 or 2 and quickly ordered more. Even on gear that is as well designed to fight vibration like Esoteric and Shunyata, they made an audible difference.

One key caveat though is that Esoteric has moved to a floating top plate on some of their more recent designs so the HRS would be a no go on one of those units.

You are too kind Bart. I am not a pro. I have read and learned a lot on this and other sites over the years. The knowledge and real life experiences we all share make us ‘smarter’.

Thought I would update things a little. Shown is the latest room/setup system setup in mid 2021.

Full on digital sourced system with lots of things to eliminate noise in the streaming chain.

Because I now have a square room (22’x22’x10’), moving to an offset setup has proven to not only address the low frequency issues, it has provided the best staging I have ever had and the best I have ever heard the Strads sound.

Subs crossed at 70hz to combat nasty room resonances and suck-outs.


Looking good Craig !

Update : My Strads are sold and awaiting shipping.

Today, I took delivery of my Kharma Elegance dB-11–1.1-S. I will call them double 11s from now on.

It was quite the chore but with the help of my brother and good friend Jeff and the use of a PowerMate M1 Powered Stair Climbing Dolly, we got the crates up stairs and speakers placed in about 4 hours.

No injuries occurred!

Here are a few pics of the process.
