There is no hole

Wow ! Congrats for your AE-120 mkII. My partner's opinion: the new speakers are overwhelming and stifling me. They are overpowering. Whereas the Acoustic Energy speakers offer a lighter, freer, more airy, more enveloping, and easier-to-listen-to sound.

Spikes on tiles ? I am not sure

The more I have things, the more I am possessed and lose my freedom ! Don’t know how to say that in English. Good old times with cassettes in poor quality recorded from the radio on cheap system

Once again you highlight the latest issue. I listen quite low : 70/80db When I pump up the volume to 90db the sound is amazing. Everything is super clear. Actually, I went home for lunch today. I didn’t lunch at all but I tried several LPs and my Streamer. At low volume the sound is not...

The floor is tiled. No spikes were provided with the speakers. Besides the bass, it's mainly an overwhelming sound that fills the room and overpowers the listener. Too much of a beginner to express it with the appropriate vocabulary. The AE speakers offer a fairly clear sound; the new...

Thank you Ray, I have to listen and listen again before swap to the old ones and find out if there are some adding or missing point. From the app of the streamer many settings can be done but not dealing with room features. Let the music play and see next Saturday when I will have time.

I don’t get it. What do you mean?

And you are right. The Waversa minihpa mkII is a quite good streamer, the TT has no other phono stage than the heed board integrated into the amp. The cartridge is 1 yo. If you want to learn more about: https://audioconnection.com.au/products/waversa-wmini-hpa-mk2

I have to check it with the same music. Some LPs are poor quality (modern fancy vinyl totally awful).

I currently use Tidal on my Waversa minihpa DAC/streamer

A big thank you to each and every one of you here for your time, advice, patience, and expertise. Your generosity is truly touching. Once again, if any of you ever feel like crossing the Channel and making your way down to Toulouse, there will be a fine beer or a good glass of wine waiting to...

Actually the manufacturer does not recommend a specific distance. They are known to be quite easy to position. I am questioning about myself more than the speakers. Feedbacks are most of the time super positive. I use metric system.

Actually the sound was booming and oppressing. I am just coming home and here are the distance with walls. Here is the pic from the sofa at the very same height and distance from my ears The current positioning is optimal for now, although it might be a bit too far. However, moving it...

Thanks a lot for your tip on speakers positioning. Yesterday evening I could not listen a full LP. I felt oppressed and my ears could not stand a single note. I positioned them at 3m quite straight of the sofa. Then I tuned them slightly to the sofa. I moved them closed, and closed to reach...
