I have the following setup in a ~500 sqft room with a couch about 6' from the speakers:
Hedd Type 20s (MK1/original analog version)
Adam Sub10 10" Subwoofer
RME ADI-2 DAC
I'd like to make a meaningful improvement to my system for around $1000. A couple ideas I've had are:
1. Sell the Sub10 and buy the Sub12 (would this be too much bass energy for my room given the couch is 6-7' away? Cannot move couch further back).
2. Buy a second Sub10 -- I still have a Sub8 and tried to test what this would be like by putting it in front of the Type 20 that is nearer to the wall. I thought my system sounded worse overall, but I'm not sure if that's because it was the Sub8 instead of the 10, or because it's too much bass energy, or the sub placement wasn't ideal.
3. Buy some add-on/gadget that I'm not thinking of?
4. Try to sell the entire system for maybe $3-4,000 and spend around $5000 on a substantially better pair of speakers (not aware of any that would offer enough improvement to be worth the trouble, anyone?)
I'm open to ideas. One thing I can't do is any real room treatment. I do have a couple panels on the wall to break up reflections but that's about all I can do.
Thanks!
