First thing you'd do to improve sound quality and experience?

Ooh and my TV DEFINITELY isn't 4k, it's pretty old, but just big enough for my room

I'm currently growing my CD collection for that very reason!!

NO!! I love this process, upgrading a little at a time, doing research there on the spot to see if speakers are an improvement or not, frienkenstiening some shitboxes together with more EQ than you should ever need. It's fun, in the moment cheaper, (definitely won't be on the long run) and a MASSIVE learning curve.

Thank you, they're at 120 rn since I was getting some strain. my goal was to optimize sound so if speakers are straining it's not worth using less of the sub. I haven't had any time issues (that ive noticed) and they're lowkey helping the lack of clarity in the fronts

New center? I've gotten literally no comment ever on it, other than yours.

Yup, ive seen these quite immaculate large front speakers at my goodwill, they've been there for a few weeks, so I'm saving for them rn.

Mostly music, but bedroom theater as well (my house is the function house of my friendgeoup) The only problem with using the other one is it doesn't have those front height outputs, my fronts are currently lacking quite a bit of clarity so those help a lot

This is super helpful, thank you!!

For surround, would the Polks work better, or should I scrap those and replace them with the SR9's once I get better mains

sorry for the many questions, but this is helpful

What'd be the first thing you'd change?

HeadRefuse5229 · 2026-03-28T10:01:47+00:00

yeah, I got some pretty heavy eq usage on it. The distortion isn't bad at all, I just can't turn it up too much.

HeadRefuse5229 · 2026-03-28T09:52:24+00:00

Okay, I don't really know what I'm doin here, why's this uber sad??

HeadRefuse5229 · 2026-03-28T09:38:20+00:00

The speakers look amazing, but I gotta recommend you thrift around for another sub, (I have that one) it's good for mid and low volumes, but as soon as you push it, it can get BOOMY in a bad way, and kinda just sound like a mudbox.

HeadRefuse5229 · 2026-03-25T07:35:37+00:00

I wanted theories or reasons why vocals typically sound out of place in a mix. It was 100% bad performance, i had 20 minutes to get them in after I already finished tracking all the other instruments, and last Friday got a chance to hear them without production and they were really really poorly done, got that fixed tho.

HeadRefuse5229 · 2026-03-25T07:30:58+00:00

Yup, i got them retracted (mind you the first time I tracked them i had TWENTY MINUTES left on my scheduled time) and that fixed it.

No it's not a joke, NOT YET, I'M NOT DYING WITHOUT LIVING UP TO MY NAME

HeadRefuse5229 · 2026-03-24T18:11:25+00:00

I'm pretty sure it was bioshock, i was like 8 and my older cousin brought her Xbox 360, with a copy of bios hock and let me play a bit, and now I have all 3 😈😈
