Update - Thanks for everyone's help on this issue. Ultimately I went with a system upgrade and my setup is now: Wiim Ultra --> Emotiva BasX A2 --> Polk Audio R700's. The speakers made a night and day difference even while being driven by the Wiim Amp. Swapping it for the Wiim Ultra + Emotiva...

Some initial REW measurements are what initially lead me down this path to re-do my set up. So will definitely be re-measuring soon as the new amp + Wiim arrive. I'm running a Wiim Amp right now so am looking forward to see how much of a difference the Emotiva makes. The set up is already loud...

I ended up going with the R700's. Polk were running a nice 30% off deal on them for Black Friday so the timing couldn't have been better. Thank you very much for that recommendation! They are checking all the boxes for me so far and they pump out an impressive amount of sub bass for a floor...

Thanks for this comparison. The 2.5 way configuration is something is something I'm not totally familiar with so this breakdown is helpful. I'm going to look into Polk R700. It looks like there are a few places that have them on sale right now. I'm wondering if anyone else here has any...

Yes thats my basic budget range $2-3k. What would you say are the main differences between the Bronze and Silver? (from a listener perspective)

Thats great feedback and essentially what I'm hoping to achieve in my room. Did you audition the Bronze 500's before choosing the Silver's by chance? I'm wondering what the main differences are.

I think this is a good idea and its something for me to consider if things don't pan out with my floor standing speaker hunt

My main goal is a speaker upgrade that is able to do a great job with 60 - 250 Hz range for improved punch from kick/bass. I'm less concerned with the sub bass range and I think that range is going to be more problematic for the neighbours, especially the unit below mine. My range is $2-3k USD...

Thanks for sharing this!

I'm in the process of researching floor standing speaker options for a 850 sqf room with 12' ceilings. Its quite a big room so I'm looking for a big set of floor standers to match. They will be used for music listening (70%) + home theatre (30%) with music being the absolute most important...

Thanks so much for helping me with this analysis! Would you be able to explain a bit more about the importance of the 50ms measurement?

An update for anyone interested - I did some experimenting with speaker position to try and reduce the comb filtering happening in the low end. There was a small improvement with the lower frequencies where it ended up slightly reducing big dip at 125Hz at the expense of creating a new one at...

Thanks for everyone's help & feedback on this! The .mdat file can be downloaded here: DropBox Link I unfortunately don't have any measurements from my previous place but the living room was essentially a rectangle with a standard 8' ceiling height. The set up was in the middle of the long wall...

Hey all - as the heading says I'm looking for some help diagnosing an issue with my set up / new room. I've recently moved into a large open concept industrial loft with cement floors and 12 ft tall cement ceilings. The area my system is set up in is approx 850 sqf and its sounding under...
