Advice on upgrade

[JeremyFife]

Are these your speakers? If so there are some tips and thoughts on adding EQ - which your WiiM can do - that might be interesting https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/elac-debut-2-0-b6-2-speaker-review.14272/

Thank you for the feedback. I orded the AT-VM95ML, it should arrive next week. Then after that I need to fill my speakers budget and explain to my wife why i need to do that
The budget for speakers is around 1000-1300 euro.

In this price range I can recommend the Heco Aurora 700 and 1000, there's nothing like it that quickly. The Aurora 1000 can be had for €1100 per pair, the 700s are cheaper.

Neither of them need a lot of amplifier power and you should only think about a subwoofer if you really need one.

Good luck

Before you do that ... how does it all sound now, with the WiiM Ultra and room correction applied?
If it sounds good, and gets loud enough for you it honestly might be good enough. The Elacs are pretty good so it's not as if you absolutely have to change them (although new speakers are very cool)

I haven not done any proper testing, but i tried couple times with room correction and to be honest I was not pleased with that complitly. I will test more when the neighbours below are not at home

Thank you. Yes, i have the same model. I will try to test more settings soon. I have to addmit that I love the over all sound of these speakers but to get nice sound of them they need a more volume to fill the room. At the moment the speakers are 1.4m away from each other, but the listening position is 2.5m away. So my guess is at first I need to make a more distance between speakers.
And thank you all for helping me here.
Have a nice weekend!

These look nice. I love the design. My over all question is, do I have to look speakers what have sub outlet in front? I cant move speakers away from the wall more than 30cm (1feet).

No, a foot is plenty even if port is on rear.

I thought you said you didn't have much room for bigger speakers? That room looks huge!

It shouldn't matter much in this case since the back wall ends right next to the speakers on both sides.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Room isnt very big, just 20m2.

Does this mean the entire room? Including the left open side?

I made some testing, with Wiim room correction and with guides from Amirm review. I have to say, Amirm settings are way better sound than room correction from wiim.
Thank you JeremyFife for the link!

Left side is open (with kitchen area and dinning area its all together 36m2), and on the right side there is a whole wall of glass.

Have a look at what the WiiM room correction is trying to do for the bass frequencies (below 400/500 Hz). That area is more to do with your own room and less about the speakers. Perhaps there are tweaks that you can make manually.

Otherwise, if it's sounding good then that's great.

Live with your new sound for a while, get used to it before you make more changes (and spend big money). Be clear about what improvements you are looking for.

Glad it's going well for you

Given this overall size, I would recommend the Heco Aurora 1000s. That would also save you having to buy an additional subwoofer.

The best upgrade you can do right now is to put your speakers on proper stands. That'll make for a big improvement. Later on you can add a competent subwoofer, which will cost you less than a pair of new speakers.

lots of hard surfaces a large rug could help, add some color and if married, let her pick that out, might mitigate any resistance for more expensive speakers.

Hi everyone, I have made some tests with my system and the biggest moment was when I changed the cartridge. Like wow, why i waited so long with this. Still need some work on over all settings. I will receive the Umik this weekend, so then i will do some measuerments.

Hi everyone. I got a very good offer for Elac Uni-Fi UF5 speakers, does anyone have experience on these?
