I took the spikes out of my D48Rs to move them around easier. They sound good without them, is it necessary to put them back in?
Upgraded to Proac D20R
What a huge difference! Overall sound stage has opened up and is now sounding full range. The bass is not boomy and also I don't hear the cabinet breathing at all, like others have mentioned. I have them positioned 10' apart sofa in the middle and 15" from wall, the room is approx. 24' x16' with an opening into a high ceiling center hall on one side and an L shaped into a dinning room on the opposite side.
My previous speaker was a Proac response d2. The Proac sound signature is still there great midrange for vocals, horns and piano, however the ribbon tweeter is so much smoother than the silk tweeter in the d2 and airy, the upper octaves sounds lighter but realistic. Many of the tracks sound live and live performances accentuate the venue of there recordings.
As well as upgrading my speakers I've also changed my digital path. I included: Sonore MicroRendu, HDPlex LPS, my source is Mac Book Pro- Roon-Tidal. This change has removed the digital hash and greatly cleaned up sound quality. The MicroRendu is feeding my Ayre QB9 DSD DAC which feeds my Ayre AX7E.
