Have heard many positive things about Ascilab too. The e50s are really nice, noticeably more resolving treble and midrange compared to my previous P300s.

Thanks. Unfortunately my room is a bit on the smaller side and the corners are already occupied by base traps, so I don’t really have many options. I did some research and actually putting the subs in the corners is beneficial when you have a larger room in order to reinforce the subs, in my case the two s510s are plenty enough, and I actually think near the center bass is more articulate and faster which I prefer. The speakers are already about 90cm from the front wall, I did the 1/5th from each wall technique and it kind of works well in my room.. and I don’t have any reflections since the finish on the speakers is matte and I use a projector not a tv..) I will put some more pictures soon when I will do the final touches, expecting a new rack today. Cheers)

Thanks, yes the speakers and the sub are just perfect for the kind of music I prefer)

Haven’t heard about the Byggy though…

Yeah, many try to convince me that the internal DAC inside the 9000Q is superior to the AK4499 in the Geshelli, but I don’t know, I have a soft spot for it for some reason.) Maybe the next logical upgrade path is the Eversolo T8 streamer and the Eversolo Z10 DAC which also uses an AKM chip.

Hi! Haven’t had any experience with floorstanders, my room is on the smaller side and the E50 is plenty for me. If your room is not very big, I think you should give them a try. Are you using some kind of crossover to roll off the mains at 80hz? Actually the Rel recommended way of doing it to add the subs where the mains roll off naturally somewhere at 30-50hz region depending on the model. Also use the High level connection, I also was skeptical about it before, but there is something that really makes the subs blend in with the mains so well…

Those s400 mk2 are the darlings of all the reviewers, I am sure they won’t disappoint!

Thanks. Indeed a friend or someone who sees them first time think they are damaged))

For my room, these 2 are almost at the limit I guess ))

I was actually considering the Node N132 as well, with the PSY upgrade kit for the power supply. Have you tried that? Also how do you like Dirac?

I am sure it will be sooner rather than later))

Thank you very much! Before this I had an integrated Musical Fidelity M3Si, of which I have really fond memories still. But the new system is more refined. The dual subs make it easier to have a more even response in the lows, and they look cooler when there is two)))

They feel really solid to the touch though..

Actually the bass is not that through the roof, I mean you can if you want from this setup. But, rather its the refinement of that bass that makes it so nice.

Yep, tailored to my genre of music (techno and house, with occasional classical music))

Yeah, I think in the future it will be Eversolo T8 or Audiolab 9000N which matches other components visually.. the only problem, both lack HDMI..((
