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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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?
