OP, I have experienced similar problems with speakers that are out of phase. I'm 99% sure your speakers are out of phase. Perhaps your tweeters are out of phase with respect to your woofers. Go to a shop and get this checked. You'll thank me later. Your room, sub or whatever is NOT the problem.

From what I know about them, AVI has sold to the tune of 5000+ pairs till date. And I think they sell 500-1000+ pairs per year. So their gross sales are probably around 0.5m to 2m+ British pounds per year.

Why not go for AVI DM 10? Or even AVI DM 5 with a subwoofer?

Although I own AVI speakers, I'm not siding with anybody. I'm just reporting facts. :) Ashley does say 325 watts. But he has clarified that it is peak and NOT continuous.

Just so we are clear, Ashley makes it very clear that 325 watts isn't continuous. He is equally clear that continuous is irrelevant because most music is peaky anyway. If you read what he writes, it is clear that 325 watts is the peak. NOT RMS. At least his recent replies on this issue make it...

You can't use a dac like that.

The synology doesn't have a dac. You are using the dac of the onkyo receiver. So the Ethernet transport is your bottleneck. i doubt if there is much to it but to change your onkyo receiver.

Fiio E12/E11 or cmoyBB. Depends on your budget and setup,

IMO although there can be very slight differences between cables: 1. Compared to the rest of the chain they are minimal and not necessarily going to get significantly better with price. Different, perhaps. 2. Your setup is fairly entry level and it doesn't make sense to invest more than 5-15...

Hi Audiokid I hope you could answer a few questions :) 1. How do you find the AVI ADM 9RS vs other actives vs other separates in the sub 1500 pounds considering you need to buy the speakers, amp, dac, pre and cables? Sound signature preference aside. 2. How big an improvement do you consider...

@audiokid didnt you have AVI ADM 9T? Do you also have the new RS or RSS?

I don't know. You should hear an audible improvement I guess but not a huge one, but audible I guess.

It may not be the hands down best DAC sub $1500 but it is a reasonably good one. And at 550 pounds I don't think anything is likely to be as good.

As long as the input/output match you should be fine I guess. And both have received excellent reviews I think :) Thank You Aakshey

With your setup an external DAC is likely to help a great deal. Though not to everybody's ears, but for many. But do note the DAC is the Asus Essence ST/STX is excellent for the price and pretty much as good as it gets if you buy an external DAC in the $150-200 range. If you want a significant...
