My system sounds great, but we always want to improve, don't we?

Room Response:

I had six RPG type diffusion panels installed for ceiling first reflections (I will update the picture). Perhaps also in front of the TV (movable, of course). Also have side absortpion/difusion and back of speakers absorption.

Currently testing the Dirac Live DRC with the Caps Zuma.

Dunlavy Crossovers:

I planning to have some mods for the SC-VIs (replacing speaker binding posts with Furutech FT-806 R, upgrading crossover's resistors, caps and inductors). I will have two external crossovers with Duelund CAST parts for the most critical components. I will keep the two original crossovers for reference.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Great gear in a great looking room. Very impressive system. Congratulations! My only suggestions are to keep experimenting with room treatments and consider adding a tubed preamp.
