Not really. I tend to flip through albums if I have them digitally available. With CDs I can force myself to sit through the entire thing. Same goes for vinyl.
Looking out for a good power distribution box, I stumbled across this on hifimart. This is marketed by soundfoundation. The box has a solid construction perfect finish. It has a voltage display and on the back it has a resettable fuse. It has a built-in EMI filter and so some members will call it a power conditioner (as I have seen ones with just a EMI filter being marketed as such and sold more than 4x the cost with much lesser fit and finish).
Congrats hope you enjoy it for years to come... Just wondering about the center channel being completely boxed in doesn't it hinder the bass and cause some reverberating... Same for the sides esp the left one does it have sufficient room to breathe? The first point of contact on the wall is too close imo.
Sorry to comment on these but it just caught my eye, please feel free to ignore if I am not making sense
The center sounds fine in the cabinet and I don’t have any other way of managing it, I can’t wall mount the tv.
And yeah the position of the LR is less than optimal, planning to move the entire tv unit to the other side of the room to solve this.
Plz tell about how it sounds after installation
Wow these look amazing. Do on wall speakers have any disadvantage over normal book shelf speakers ? Can you just hang them on the wall without any wall treatment ?
Thanks! Yes, they were designed to be hung on walls and have thin profile (This was my primary requirement). The fronts/rears are sealed speakers with no ports. The center speaker has ports at the back but they provided pluggable foam for them to seal them as per preference (I have kept them open and also raised the Center speaker a bit at bottom from wall to allow ports to breath).
Requirement for wall treatment would be subjective I guess. I hope Denon's Audyssey is already taking care of that in it's room correction.
Here is how speakers look hung. I have kept the front's tweeters at ear level. For rears, no option but to keep at slight height. All sounds good and balanced though-
I have kept the grills on. Reduces the looks but eliminates risks of someone accidentally bumping something into speaker dome/tweeter.
Thanks- the speakers seem to have some depth. From the box pictures it seemed that the speakers were almost flat with may be 2 inches of depth.
How much did it cost and from where did you source it? The prices seem too high these days.
You are right. "XTZ Spirit 2" front/rears depth is 5 inches. Center "XTZ Spirit 6" is deeper - 6 inches. Even at that, its the shallowest speaker set I could get. Thinner than that are either insanely expensive or have inferior sound. Even this 5.0 set costed me nearly 1.25 lakhs
I don't see the costs going down this year. Even next year when things simmer down, I think that the only difference will be that costs will stay the same and not go up. If you are interested, PM me, the dealer I bought it from offers best price for AVRs. I got my Denon 3700H for 1.13 lakh but prices have further increased since then.
Purchase the Audiolab 6000A Integrated Amplifier at a special offer price.
