Anyone still using a Rives Parc


I have an all tube system with Wilson Witt II's (yes I compared them with all of the Sophia's and up to WP6 and they sound just as good) WP 7's Sasha's on up sound better, but cost much more. The system is in a room 18x12x8. I took out the bed and everything but one dresser. The sound is a little boomy, so I installed 2'' x 12'' foam tiles (72 altogether) and it has helped some. I found a Rives Parc for 500.00 (it'll be here Thurs) so I thought, at that price I really can't go wrong and can always flip it for more money if things don't work out. Is there anything else like test records or sound meters or charts that I may need that would be helpful? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Eldulcesol, I'll try the CD, but I just hooked up the Parc and it really does take the room out of the equation. Its the best 500.00 component I've ever purchased.Subtle, and not like an eq. Also got a few pointers from Chris Huston over the phone. This is really a nice unit, and for less cost than just 1 ASC Tube Trap.
There's a Parc on here for 2700.00 I could let mine go for 16 to 1800.00 then get my room tuned professionally for 4500.00 I have my stereo and a chair in the room and nothing else, so the Parc really has helped out. Bass traps are better than no treatment but just don't get the job done at a reasonable price. Glad the MQ 107 works for you. Best of luck Dazz.
