There’s also an old AppleTV 3 with optical out through the TV to the Micromega so AirPlay from said MBP, iPad or phone is good for casual listening.

Usually playing via USB from a MacBook Pro running Apple Music or Tidal (I have a NAS gathering dust but haven’t set up any other streaming or UPnP). Crude as fuck compared to DSP, but overall sound is improved sufficiently (compared to "flat" meaning unequalised) so I use that profile generally. But I do find myself inching the volume up and up during longer recreational listening sessions, for that elusive low end satisfaction.Īlso relevant, compensating for the measured room response at the current listening position, bass-wise I have +6 dB boost at 32 Hz, +9 at 64 Hz, and -3 at 125 and 250, coming from iTunes.

They do deliver more and deeper bass than I expected from the cabinet volume and driver size. So something in the 10" or 12" range in a sealed box would be perfect. For critical listening you can't argue with the physics of a large-ish speaker cone and a sealed enclosure. Powered is fine (and probably easiest to integrate), just look for something with its own volume and crossover controls so you can tune it to match your existing speakers. Those bitty 6.5" woofers simply aren't going extend that low, so definitely look at a sub. I'm comfortable saying that your speakers don't *start* rolling off at 35Hz, considering the manufacturer's spec says 36Hz is the low end with no +/- rating so that could be the -3dB point or the -10dB point.

My curiosities include (so-called) subwoofers (considering one 212/SE or a even pair of smaller T-series from REL, or the interesting Swarm from AudioKinesis that can be distributed to mitigate room nodes, per Geddes or Welti) to augment/extend the low bass (I'm not thinking home theatre, just stereo) acoustic treatments and/or nearfield vs midfield room setup (the original Audio Physic guy was a nearfield fan, so my speakers are primed for that) to reduce impact of treble reflections, and DSP for the finer and coarser ups-and-downs in the room frequency response (Micromega have their own option, which would treat everything, or software like Sonarworks that runs on macOS but wouldn’t help with AirPlay sources, at less cost). Now it's possible I'm just hearing (say) harmonic distortion ramp up with power output and need better gear, but first (and maybe more cost-effective) things first.

I’ve listened to much more expensive gear that delivers very smooth/sweet treble at concert levels (and done things like swapping in my portable Chord Mojo DAC/pre that smooths things a bit but also mellows the slightly edgy soundstaging I enjoy in the process). I’ve tried some crude initial acoustic investigation with FuzzMeasure and equalisation in iTunes.ĭesired improvements are lower bass extension generally (my speakers start rolling off around 35 Hz, but see aforementioned room reinforcement) and less hashy/ringy treble at higher listening levels (> 85 dB indulged in from time to time). Overall sound is quite decent albeit with some of the usual lumps in the bass and some audible treble reflections from glazed side walls. The overall room/space has pitched ceilings (speakers are at the lower end, like a tiny amphitheatre) with hardwood planks and small air gaps backed by building paper and rockwool, functioning like a crude diffuser/absorber (happy accident) maybe 85 m3 volume. Speakers are Audio Physic (Sitara 25 so small as floorstanders go but adequate for the room volume)
Said kit includes a Micromega integrated (M-100) that serves as streamer/DAC/preamp with balanced out to a Krell amp (KAV-2250 from Ebay, I’m not obscenely wealthy, sadly) that adds some bass heft otherwise lacking (plus some space heating) usually playing via USB from a MacBook Pro running Apple Music or Tidal (I have a NAS gathering dust but haven’t set up any other streaming or UPnP). Nice room reinforcement of low-mid bass in the smaller space for now. My AV kit is currently deployed in the loft/office but will return to ground level (in the same general medium-sized open-plan space) when renovations eventually progress.
Wondering if the Ars AV Club hive mind has thoughts/experiences on room treatment, speaker placements and/or DSP.
