I recently had the Masters speaker placement process performed on my Amati Futuras. Originally I had placed the speakers as best I could but with fairly poor results (I did not know that Dan had a great post below and that would have helped a lot but if possible get an expert to do this). The sound stage was not well defined and the bass was very thin which required me to push the REL G1 to compensate. My room lacked the holographic imaging that I had experience in my other house with the same components. Needless to say I have been worried about this room and since we just built this house there are no plans to move! Fortunately David Ellington lives close by and agreed to come over and setup the Futuras again (he did this process in my old house). I invited Jim "Trek737" over to watch David in action and everyone arrived around 9:00 or so...... we talked for a while but then got to business. Thru the day Jim and I asked many questions and David was awesome, it is easy to see when someone truly loves what they do. The entire process took several hours and the results are absolutely incredible. I can't even describe all the benefits. The sound stage is extremely well defined as well as the musical notes no longer smear together. The bass is INSANE and without the G1 the Futuras are producing notes in the low 20 Hz range. They now effortlessly fill the room with deep rich fast bass with punch and the crazy thing is the drivers are barely working to do it.
This for me is the best upgrade investment that I have made other than the Amati Futuras and that is saying a lot!
A warning to many on this forum..... If you don't have your speakers position correctly then you are FLAT not hearing their true potential. All the investments made to upgrade components, cables will not correct the root of the problem. This is a crucial step that can not be skipped or overlooked!
David thanks for spending your Saturday helping me obtain audio NIRVANA.
