I'm pretty impressed ....

Hi.

..by MikeL's audio set up.

Given his sound room custom design-built by whatever professionals,
he knows the way to set up his gears properly.

With the front loudspeakers far enough from the back & side walls,
virtually nothing in between the pair the loudspeakers & the sweet spot - no coffee table etc etc piled up as commonly seen, it provides an unobstructed free acoustical corridor for direct & first reflected soundwaves.

One excellent thing I have to mention is the music sofeware are all
put away from the frontal area. This surely eliminate irregular deflection of the soundwaves.

Only thing I think I would do is to move the power amp from the speaker centre location back to the audio rack. Longer (but equal lengths) of speaker cables do far less damage to the sound than long ICs. This also clear up the little acoustical mess in the frontal sound corridor.

One suggestion which may provide better sound still is to move the audio rack a bit further back beyond the sweet spot & cover it up from some woolen sheets to eliminate any controlled reflections.

Incidentally, my basement audio den bears similar acoustic layout - with complete clear-out front sound corridor. Hard smooth reflective back & side walls throughout (thin plywood board with wooden studs & voids behind all over along the concrete structural walls of the basement). Wall-to-wall Drop ceiling with standard fiberglass acoustical tiles, & wall-to-wall carpet with cushion underlay.

Only 7ft ceiling clearance, it got no ringing up to 120dB peak SPLs.
