Thank You for congratulations. Will share my impressions. But now it will be time for Alexx correct room placement. I think that main problem will be bass issues. During first listening, bass was too booooomy, not "tight". I think it could be interaction with rear and side walls, maybe it will be needed to open front bass port and close rear.

Andrew , i think your suggestions on opening up the front bass port could be right solution, hope you will get them dialled in so you can enjoy great sound. What is the size of you room ?

My room is 50 sq.meters. But the main dedication of the room is my working office which is divided by two zones: Working Zone and Relaxe Zone (wanted to keep my hobby close :-))). That is the main problem of my room from the architectural Acoustic Environment point of view (see the attached photo).

Congratulations. Is that a wood floor or a tile floor which looks like wood?
