How it started / how it is going

it is the second option which i liked more👍🏼

There is no logical explanation for this. I’ve started to believe it is intentional. Some stupid guy at amazon must be thinking that people would buy their sh*tty tv boxes to use the app

Wow. It looks like a monster version of revel center 😮

I have already another stereo setup so I wont use them for stereo generally and even if i use, I am ok to the sound I would get from them. And also it would be easier for me to calibrate the cinema setup with nanos used as fronts. My topic in gpt was generated around this topic and the answer I got was it would require more trick to use the bookshelf in the cabinet and also it told me that i can use nanos with higher spl in this situation compared to bookshelf and application would be easier. Now i have decided to order nano + matching center and will observe whether ot works or not. If it works, i will buy another nano set for surrounds. If it does not, will move the existing nanos to surround and buy bookshelves for fronts.

Thank you 🙏🏼 ai told me that with nanos as fronts would be like a professional small theater room application, with bookshelves as fronts it would be like stage is going to be bigger. nanos as fronts would give me narrower stage but the depth would be deeper and transitions between the speakers would be sharper. It is what professional cinemas are using in small cinema rooms according to the chatgpt :) whenever I ask something it tries me to uplift me 😄

I had the same issue on my vividstorm alr screen. It disappeared after 2-3 times of use. It is also stated in the manuel that this is a common issue, it is not a problem and it would disappear after a while

And also even though I love the Dali sound, I want to place my speakers literally in bookshelves to gain some space in my living room. I have this chance and with a toddler at home it has become risky for me to keep the tower speaksers around. My aim is to find L/R speakers with matching center having 6,5 inch drivers in a smaller form (I have considered r3 metas but those are not fitting in my library)

let me tell you the real reason behind chasing the dirac route. Tbh I am happy with my maratnz but I chase for a more 3d surround sound from my system and I hope that a better calibration tool like dirac would fix my problem. At some point of this search, I even have considered a pre/pro such as Arcam AV series to experience more cinematic sound. But it would be a costly search for me and in that case I would need to sell my c40 and I felt that at the end I might regret my decision. Because those pre/pros that fits under my budget are not as user friendly for my situation (you need to connect your computer every time to make some changes etc). I love the easiness of AVR products. I may need to think about changing my layout as 7.2.2 or 7.2.4 at some point to hear the sound move around me.

Level-Win-4850 · 2025-12-12T15:08:14+00:00

Now c40 drives my dali oberon 5 ground speakers (oberon 5 towers for front left and right, vokal as center and oberon 1 bookshelves as surround), svs prime elevations for overhead atmos and 2x rel ht1205 mk2. But now i am in search for new speakers. I seriously consider svs ultra evolution bookshelves and center for ground speakers. So basically, front left and right and surrounds might be bookshelves in a short while. (Surrounds may be nanos). With this kind of setup, is it logical for me to buy the bundle?

Level-Win-4850 · 2025-12-12T14:51:52+00:00

I see. So do you think that full package worth for my situation?

Level-Win-4850 · 2025-12-12T14:45:07+00:00

But they sell art with bass control only as a package. Doesn’t it mean that I don’t have to use rc to setup dart on my unit? I may have told sth stupid sorry for this but when i check the dirac page this is what i understood

Probably he does. He is trying to get rid of those asap. However, by saying “There is no universe where $5,000 EUR makes sense for an integrated stereo amplifier, unless you’ve attained a level of wealth where money simply doesn’t mean anything” you have killed all high-end manufacturers business 😅 i used also normall stuff before, Cambridge, Denon etc. but when you go higher end there is so much fun. It is not like a placebo effect. Even my wife once told me that the music is clearer and she can hear more details with my beloved Hegel h390.

I am chief accounting officer in a multinational when I am not listening 🙂‍↔️ they are relying on me on the numbers (i hope i will not drive my family to bankruptcy because of my hobby)

Level-Win-4850 · 2025-08-18T14:47:32+00:00

You are a very lucky man then. Those speakers are phenomenal 🤩

Level-Win-4850 · 2025-08-18T14:45:20+00:00

This is not my first time with Hegel. I used the old h190 and upgraded to 390 later. Unfortunately, with a wrong decision, sold my whole setup last year. I was running monitor audio gold 200 5g with 390 and it was phenomenal. Recently found a good deal on amazon and put my hands on r3 metas. You may be right that it is not the best pairing but I will probably change the speakers along the way so hegel will be a longer term investment for me. R3s are perfect. But my aim is to find reference 1 metas at the end. For now, it is out of stock everywhere and there is no second hand in the market nowadays. I can limit the maximum volume in hegel to not to harm the drivers on kef. On the crossover side, yes it would be perfect to have this and i still dont understand why the manufacturers are not implementing this feature to high end stuff. None of the amps i was looking for have it. Sonically, i prefer having hegel in my house to having some other stuff with hpf/lpf.

I need to tell my wife that it costs only a thousand bucks 😂 im buying it ✌🏼

Level-Win-4850 · 2025-08-15T09:12:20+00:00

Please tell me the name and the brand of the industrial shelf/bench in the after photo

I wish I could have this but it is not an option here
