Advice on setting up F6Bs and supplementary equipment

[Papupi]

I've decided to purchase a pair of F6Bs when they're available and I need advice on additional equipment. I will be getting a combined DAC/streamer/amp or a DAC/streamer and stand-alone amp. I'm also planning on getting a subwoofer. Are there specific products that play well with the F6Bs? In addition, I'd also like to know what cables I'll need to actually connect the F6Bs to all the other equipment.

anyone know what's up with this pair in Finland on the used market? been for sale 8 weeks now! is that not a decent price?

and I'm sure you'll get lots of responses but a spool of 14/2 speaker wire and an RCA cable is gonna be all you need. <dodges rotten egg>

Hi @Papupi! Welcome to ASR.

I'd go with a WiiM Amp Pro or WiiM Amp Ultra.

Using the internal Parametric EQ, you can apply anechoic speaker correction from Spinorama:

or from ASR member Maiky76: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...scilab-f6bs-speaker-review.63324/post-2320838

..as well as in-room frequency response correction to tame room modes.

Here's an example of WiiM EQ used to tame room modes:

For this process, a UMIK-1 is highly recommended.

As for the subwoofer, your options depend a lot on which country you live in.

In the US, RSL, HSU, Monoprice, and Rythmik are usually the go-to brands.

In Europe, I'd look into Arendal and KEF.
