LMAO! All good suggestions!!!

1st I wanted to thank Ivan for yet another killer deal and hooking me up! Thank you!

Today I was able to pick up a new MC462! Now the 2019 cycle is complete Ivan, please don't sell me anything else this year! lol

Just finished setting it up to Bi-Amp with the MC2301's and the Canton Ref 1K's...

initial impressions are extremely positive as there's certainly a boost in performance, it is quite noticeable. I plan to listen deep into the night to evaluate more with a PBR in hand...

It looks so cute next to the MC2301 monsters...

Thanks

Love them is a good way to describe it.

If you can find a set to listen to, highly recommended.

Ever in or around South Florida you could drop by anytime.

You know Stillpoints on the 462 can raise it up just enough, so it doesn’t feel inferior next to the 2301’s.

Congrats on your addition. Very envious. What kind of room treatments are those?

Thanks. What you can see are Gik bass traps, part of one of thier corner bass traps, and skyline diffuses. In the very middle are a couple of slat diffuses from a carpenter.

What you can't see are 4x Gik diffuser/trap combos on the sides and back. Some foam in front of the windows.

Didn't treat much else. Had a bunch of stuff setup behind and the sound was just too dead. Now everything just comes together. The separation in the music and space is quite noticable. Happy with what it is after about a year of treatment experimentation.
