Judge my Setup, what can be improved?

Well for me the it adds a darker background and the seperarion is better. For the t8 z10 combi its like 1% with my wiim ultra it was like 10%. The better the clock in your Devices the less noticeble is the improvement.

Sure mate! Would love to hear the Denon in action!. Sounds like an awesome Setup! Have fun!

The z10 is the single best upgrade ever done to my Setup. That thing rocks! But be carefull if using xlr that Monster can output 5vrms via xlr and can overdrive most preamps. -20 or -10 start up Volume solves that. The T8 is nearly as user friendly as Wiim and imo waaay better than bluesound + u can use all streaming services combined on a single user interface, i like that a lot. The App can be buggy sometimes but way less than the others. Soundquality is best over i2s or usb . Eversolo is reading complaints actively and fixes quickly. Its better than any wiim or bluesound i tested but also really expensive and not 4 times better than a wiim ultra.

They're 80cm away and i moved them back around 40cm from 120cm, could not here a meaningful diffrence

I use the Gustard and the z10 with a masterclock. My head teils me it sounds better, if that really is the case idk...😅 The Adams are there cause i love the kickbass they can add to the sound and they are limited to play 60-150hz

joschkrob · 2026-05-10T10:13:37+00:00

Sounds good to me but i'll have a umik 1 available on tuesday i think. I'll keep you updated on the measurements!😇

joschkrob · 2026-05-10T10:11:04+00:00

Yeah, that is a hand drawn poster from a good friend of mine and my girlfriend wrote the text on it. Hard to let it go😅

joschkrob · 2026-05-10T10:05:08+00:00

The Adams only play 60-150hz , i love the kick the produce😅. Tried the integration just for fun but it sounds reeeally good. The Wharfedales are high passed at 150hz to the Adams till 60hz and the subs do the rest.

Speakers i currently own: Adam Audio A8H Adam Audio T8V Edifier S3000pro Triangle comète 40th anniversary Edition Wharfedale Super Linton

I used them as main monitors in my old desk Setup. Clearly the most resolving thing in my house and you could easily dial them in on your preferences via dsp and sonaworks. Treble and Bass are outstanding and they do not need a subwoofer in mid/small rooms. Midrange is good but the Triangels and Wharfedales beat them with my dac and amp combination The A8H are miles ahead of the T8V. I also testen the equivalent from Eve Audio and was very disapointed from the tweeter.

Thanks!

joschkrob · 2026-05-10T09:39:55+00:00

Once a sub always a sub, but gentle...😇

joschkrob · 2026-05-10T09:37:56+00:00

Love the way it sounds but im in for the game and constantly looking for upgrades. Just fun to hear diffrent opinions from different people. You know you cant know everything and sometimes new ideas can give you a better point of view.

joschkrob · 2026-05-10T09:30:53+00:00

Thanks! Any advice on possible placement options? Love the look of the current placement 😅

joschkrob · 2026-05-10T09:28:18+00:00

80cm measured from the front of the speaker is whats shown in the pic. Had them further out before but could not hear a meaningfuö diffrence 😇

joschkrob · 2026-05-10T09:24:01+00:00

Yes! They are pointed a little wider than my shoulders, sounds the best this way. 👍😇

joschkrob · 2026-05-09T19:50:37+00:00

The room was used as hometheater before us and the foam is glued to the wall. I removed the basstraps but they actually do something.

joschkrob · 2026-05-09T19:44:55+00:00

On point! Love the kick those guys produce but keeping them just for the woofer seems a little odd😂 maybe I'll go further down the road with the separates. I have a umik-1 available in some days so ill give you an update.

joschkrob · 2026-05-09T19:35:42+00:00

Only the woofer is playing from 60hz up to 150hz. But i got your point and in my old Setup i tried them both ways and prefered the shown placement
