I could see the amp is obstructing the Tv view area. If possible try to fit it in the open shelf where u have kept other components, 3 to 5 inches space is sufficient above the open vents of amp. Move some of the low height components to the top area below the tv. It is just a suggestion as I have faced similar problem so did some reshuffling.
Welcome your suggestion Friend.
The Amp being a new one, was connected with speakers and WiiM PRO first time and it was first time for me too to do those, I ensured to do it correctly.
Hence kept it on the TV console to make it comfortable for me.
Now I moved the Amp into the open space of the console
The center open space inside the Console is for the Amp and other components
Sure will do it but not immediately
My setup
(Need lot of advice to upgrade it.. am not sure where to post all the varied queries LOL. Basically craving to stretch my budget to the limit and get the 'endgame' system, which itself is an illusion lol). Probably will post my current research here: https://www.hifivision.com/threads/wharfedale-linton-heritage-with-marantz-model-30-or.90842/page-3
My current setup while am reasonably happy about, doesn't give me full immersive experience and is missing the big sound sometimes (Getting REL sub on Monday and excited about it):
Source: Cambridge Audio Network streamer 851N, flac files on PC thru roon, Qobuz streaming service
Amp: Denon PMA-A110
Turntable: Pro-ject Debut Carbon
Speakers: Wharfedale Lintons
(ignore the sub partially visible which is part of Sony's wireless HT system)
Cheers!
p.s. I tried Panamax MR4300 power conditioner and it was an awful experience. Instead of improving the sound, it made it inferior (bass was reduced and so making it sound bright, soundstage was completely gone and sounded very flat)... so back to typical surge protectors.

Cravings can be dangerous in this hobby so tread cautiously.
You've got some good gear from what I see. Tweak it where possible. Move the speakers around.
Place the speakers closer to the two ends of that cabinet below the TV an see if it yields any improvement. Yes, one of them will come right in front of the gear but this is a experiment.
To provide context on the word 'endgame', you're looking at a TT that will cost as much as the entire system thats in your room. Let that sink in for a moment.
How much time to you spend with this gear before buying?
So cravings is not the best word i guess.. and same for 'end game'. I will need to elaborate now so sorry for being verbose.
Here is chain of thoughts:
* Basically heard couple of systems recently which probably cost 3-4 times compared to my setup but definitely excelled in some departments undoubtedly.
* An obvious upgrade was a subwoofer about which I have been reluctant all along but recently got enlightened with some videos and practical experience. So, let's see how much it augments the experience (not just the bass or lower frequencies but bringing overall richness by providing support/base to mid range)
* As posted in the other thread I waited about 8 years due to space/budget constraints to upgrade to this current system and when I did, back of the mind I knew this is a very very good system but that may not be or need not be 'the' system (that I want to have that my max budget can afford). For current system, I had almost decided on speakers and tried 3-4 amps to choose Denon which fits my taste and budget at the time.For current system, I had almost decided on speakers and tried 3-4 amps to choose Denon which fits my taste and budget at the time.
* Now speaking of a TT exceeding the cost of entire system >>> no am not looking for that kind of a budget... basically, I am not talking about random (typical audiophile type) craving where one would throw money out of the window for 5% improvements... so what am i looking for? Let's see (some of it already mentioned):
* at least 25% gain in the overall improvement and more so in certain aspects by spending 100% more
* bigger sound (bigger speakers and more watts / different 'class' - pun intended)
* that 'heavenly' sound - specifically mid range - more details without getting bright
* flexibility in 'trying out' different component because of 'loose coupling' ('separates' to an extend e.g. having pre-amp + amp in one box but separate DAC)
* Nothing to do with equipment but I want to / need to do some room treatment to take care of some reverb.
Following brands/models are on my radar right now (some I have experienced, others can be 'wish list'). Please feel free to comment / make suggestions (especially owners or members who have experienced both the brands i.e. ones i have and wishing for)
I have 250 sq. ft. living room and as you can see in the screenshots, one side is open (dining area etc)
* Accuphase E-280 amp (pre + power)
* Luxman 507z
* Wharfedale Elysian 4
* Dali Epicon / Rubicon (6 or 8)
* Sonus Faber speakers (in my budget)
* Phono pre-amp (to be researched)
* Subwoofer (already bought T/7x and excited to try it out tomorrow!!!)
There are other speakers brands am discovering and researching (e.g. zu audio)
Hope this gives you some context about the 'upgrade' / endgame (relatively much higher retention i.e. 5-6 years)
Cheers!
Acoustic Research AR2, with Fatman iTube hybrid amplifier
Good luck with room correction
It’s like open baffle sound with no reverb problemsGood luck with room correction
exactly. No room correction required

Just bought a set of Kali LP-UNF's!!
Everything was Latin and greek until , Life is good
Enjoy life, happiness always
Thanks!Google will help you with the Latin/greek/ Sanskrit bits.
Reaching some milestones in this hobby is always marked by a special feeling of joy.
You are absolutely right. We should never take happyness for granted. It’s fleeting and most precious.
Great setup! As I see that you are from Bangalore, how did you buy Zu DW?
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
