Most people here are talking about equipment, but my moment is simple: implementing the Sumiko Master Set speaker placement method. In a word - revelatory.
What are your Eureka Moments in this Hobby?
OK so I did steal this term form @lordmelton
I wandered through midfi. Surround speakers, 5.1 set ups, eventually getting to Classe Pre / Pro, Parasound 5 channel amp, Bowers and Wilkens Nautilus 800 series speakers and M / K Subs. Then the best thing ever happened. My Classe SSP-800 Pre / Pro broke for the second time. So I ended up getting an Audionet Pre G-1 preamp. Eureka! What were your events?

Hello @pmatyskiel Interesting! My room doesn't really afford many positional changes of the speakers, but I have learned something new from you! Thanks for sharing! Perhaps I did this similarly but different. In the standard position my bass boom was horrible from two subs. I connected them with REL wireless, and was able to move them around freely. I found great synergy in spots I never would have imagined! |
My final speaker placement actually ended up being not far off from where I started off in the room. However what blew me away was learning that 1) the speakers did not necessarily end up symmetrical to each other, and 2) that minutely small adjustments can make a huge difference in image, soundstage, and realism. If you have the luxury of flexibility with your room, you really have to try the Sumiko procedure to believe it. |
