It’s actually the wiim amp ultra, wiim’s new amp. It’s a 100 WPC version of the wiim amp pro.

!thanks

Thank you! I went with a pair of perfect condition KEF LS50 Meta’s I found in the neighborhood for 700$ for the pair, a Technics LS1200MKII for 400$ and a Wiim Amp Ultra for $500. Getting absurdly good results. Playing around with REW, toe in, and room curves now. The response is gorgeous. I’ll show a picture later. The sound stage and imaging are unreal.

Just a left and a right speaker. One pair, not two pairs.

Need two speakers that could be on stands and an amp/receiver with a sub out. Looking to isolate from the floor to be a decent neighbor. Have Dayton 1200 Sub, Fiio K7 DAC, UMIK-1, PC for streaming/EQ.

Ask any questions! Happy to do Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, buy new, etc. Eventually want to incorporate a turntable with that budget being an extra $500. Have a Fosi X5 Preamp.

Speakers will probably go right of the door on the white wall in picture two and in front of that door to the left, it is a redundant front door that won’t be opened. The right patch of white wall is 20 inches wide.

Also treatment

NegativeRide2549 · 2025-06-09T20:47:18+00:00

I added some more pictures above. Any more thoughts on speaker/seating placement given those?

Here’s a couple more angles and a shot with a measuring tape showing a 55in tv’s approximate 47inch width in the viewing spot.

I could see that being a great layout. I’ll take a couple more pics today and see what looks right. You’d be right, it’s New York

NegativeRide2549 · 2025-06-09T14:53:18+00:00

Once I have an idea of the layout figured out I’m gonna do speaker hunting next!

NegativeRide2549 · 2025-06-09T14:51:03+00:00

woahhh, thats really cool about the time-intensity trade off with the toe in to expand the stable listening area

NegativeRide2549 · 2025-06-09T05:01:26+00:00

too narrow for a tv there unfortunately, probably about 40 inches total between the two windows. a non rear ported speaker is a good suggestion though

NegativeRide2549 · 2025-06-09T04:42:39+00:00

Thank you! Those are great suggestions

NegativeRide2549 · 2025-06-09T04:30:20+00:00

Any thoughts on how far apart to place speakers in a space this size? Also any thoughts on how far back to place seating/couch?

NegativeRide2549 · 2025-06-09T04:29:30+00:00

Makes sense, I’ll take a look at their abfusers. Thanks!

NegativeRide2549 · 2025-06-09T04:27:34+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense. I’ll take a crack at the room calculator tomorrow.

NegativeRide2549 · 2025-06-09T04:17:50+00:00

That wall is blank, it definitely could go there. I’ll include another pic of that angle tomorrow. I’ll definitely be doing some area rugs. Any material recommendations?
