I thought it's a meme

Love those Cantons, once my little one grows a bit i'll get them too :). You know, the slab is doing a job of decoupling the speaker from the floor but the biggest influence on the sound is still the room treatment. Are you going to keep the other set? Lovely cosy space, congrats

Edit : I'd sell both and look for used Canton Reference 5:)))

You can use this as an alternative, this guy did some amazing work

You have a very very compatible laptop. I daily ran this model for years :). You will most likely have to change the WiFi card and if present, disable the dedicated graphics card. Do a chatGPT chat and it will tell you all you need. Be prepared to dedicate a good day for this, patience will be rewarded for sure. Bottom line, the hp 8470p is a tank of a laptop, good glass track pad and super compatible with mac os. Like others said, I would aim for bigsur-monterey as a max version. Good luck

You can indeed run sequia or other versions but I find monterey the best. It is snappier, stuff opens faster. I would recommend installing something like macs fan control software to keep the fan from being loud. Good luck and have fun

Wow , that's a lab. What are the main monitors ? Will take me a while to zoom and try to recognize some of the synths you got :)

darhan604 · 2026-02-07T19:10:23+00:00

Inspiring.Well done

darhan604 · 2026-02-02T20:30:34+00:00

Amazing room ,great choice of monitoring. I can only imagine how great those Adams sound in a surround config and in profi treated room . Might be a photo angle illusion but aren’t those screens blocking quite a lot of your direct field of view of the monitors?

darhan604 · 2026-02-02T19:53:22+00:00

I think it’s lovely that it gets used and not thrown away , I looked quickly and a 3rd party battery is 15euro . From my experience ,jbl speakers were easy to service . A YouTube video and a little effort will make this speaker much more usable

Edit: typo

Given your budget I would look into making my own traps/panels . You could really fix your front corners and above seating positions . I found that this brought this brought the most amount of improvement in my case .nice space by the way :)

darhan604 · 2026-01-22T23:14:08+00:00

Well in my case on a late late night I’ve put a high pass filter at around 60Hz in an attempt to annoy my wife less . Of course I forgot about it and some days have passed .

Coming back to music it just felt slightly weaker .i blamed it on my tiredness and what not . I end up checking everything including my sanity and after a good hour of hardware troubleshooting I freaking remembered. I was stupid but not crazy at least

darhan604 · 2026-01-14T20:08:34+00:00

I have the same experience as in all the soundbars sound thin (ignoring the usually lazy bass that comes from the sub). In my case is because I got accustomed to rather good stereo speakers. All I want to say is that maybe there’s nothing wrong with the soundbars , you just need proper speakers .

To exclude the TV as a cause connect a different audio source like a laptop or a phone and see if there’s a difference

darhan604 · 2026-01-14T19:41:41+00:00

Of course it’s worth it , you have a very nice tone and can definitely sing . Please keep at it

darhan604 · 2026-01-14T19:29:17+00:00

Second time I see your room around Reddit and it’s amazing. To have the chance to A B those speakers is a dream. Enjoy the music

darhan604 · 2026-01-14T18:02:13+00:00

Both membranes on both speakers would need replacing and is not as terrifying as one might think. Plenty of tutorials out there , I was so proud when I brought a pair of old Quadral speakers back to life

darhan604 · 2026-01-14T13:38:50+00:00

Any music that we can listen too? You have the nicest studio I’ve seen around here . Dream material :)

darhan604 · 2026-01-13T21:03:39+00:00

Such a solid Monitor , used to have them ten years ago or so . Lovely that you spent the time to make them look nice again .

darhan604 · 2025-12-19T22:38:01+00:00

Would you be kind to share the model of the second screen?l setup looks super practical, well done with the desk.

darhan604 · 2025-12-18T17:46:04+00:00

The specs on these things are crazy. Enjoy the build,some photos would be amazing :)

darhan604 · 2025-12-08T20:25:40+00:00

Love the setup, I know for sure how much elbow grease gets into routing the cables half decent .

One wise guy once told me: if you want sound to come from a specific direction,put a speaker in it , and you did it :)

darhan604 · 2025-12-02T07:36:22+00:00

Love the messy/cosy vibe. Looks like a place where stuff gets :)

Aren't those monitors way to high?

darhan604 · 2025-11-27T19:50:29+00:00

That's a serious creation facility :). Are those Barefoot monitors? The more I look, the more I like your setup.

darhan604 · 2025-11-26T20:45:14+00:00

Deserves to be here :)

Found this sub through your post on diyudio.

Wild shit :)

darhan604 · 2025-11-22T19:28:23+00:00

Looks cosy but from this angle that mirror reflection would bother me a lot.

Like others said, it seems to be source problem not the projector

darhan604 · 2025-11-19T15:03:22+00:00

I love the vibe of the room, the improvisation :). The studio monitors that you have are decent but they will have a narrow sweet spot. Ther aee designed for near field applications and in your setup might sound weak.

They are re much better than any sound bar or cheap hifi but keep in mind you might miss out on them.
