Sit back and enjoy your great system.

With my system it was the images outside the speakers that changed the most with that last tiny adjustment. All rooms and speakers are different though , mine are omni directional so in theory it shouldn’t have made that much of a difference but it did.

Sometimes it not about the sound, but the slight OCD of wanting it all equal and central … :grinning:

Yes , @SandsOfArrakis , leave the speakers where they are and move the table a bit to the right. :wink:

As long as you have a well defined central image E.g. typically the singer should sound clearly in the middle, behind the speakers, probably with drums behind him/her, often panned to either side - you’re fine

For strong and even bass, you might find moving the speakers towards/away will help - also where you sit; ears around tweeter level, try moving towards/away from the speakers to even out the bass response - if you play some really bass heavy stuff (say, Pendulum, In Silico) and you find the bass overwhelming (or too thin or uneven) then move your head backwards and forwards

Speakers closer together will increase mid bass, too far apart and the central image will become more diffuse (I know you don’t have much wiggle room)

You could experiment with toe-in ie. angle the speakers towards where you’re sitting (same angle for each) that might increase treble and/or change the width of the soundstage

I use a playlist of Reference tracks for checking different aspects

Oh, and note your speakers are new, they’ll loosen up and change tone over the first 100 hours or so

Lots of lovely tweaking :nerd_face::+1:

They were certainly different times to now, I can remember owning several versions of the 44, 405, 405-2, 419, 34, 306, FM4, 66, 606 & FM66. :blush:. I know of persons who have upgraded the 44 and 405, by using superior components. Apparently, this has made quite an improvement on the original Quad specification.
I remember when the Quad 63 Electrostatic was released and first demonstrated at the Harrogate HiFi show. It was ticket only and at the end of the 3 track demonstration, everybody stood up and gave a standing ovation. I cannot see that happening these days :blush:

Dali speakers are well known for being very forgiving about positioning and off axis listening.
It was the reason I originally bought my Oberon 5s as I could not position them in a place for perfect listening.
So now you can relax and enjoy all your new audio gear :+1:

If you could just move that keyboard over that would be great. :grinning:
Those stands have really finished it off…Sit back and enjoy…

Many Thanks…

Lol was thinking the keyboard should be central to the dark area and the mouse placed on the other dark area to the right. Followed by moving the table with keyboard on it to the left to get the table edge to line up with the cabinet edge that has the screen is on. :wink:

I haven’t used any of those components, but it looks beautiful.

My exact thoughts but I didn’t dare write it :thinking:

@SandsOfArrakis
On my first look I was wondering why is there a carpet over one of the speaker stands. Ah, it is a table… And now remodeling… if you can see the table as a carpet the mouse it is bigger than a basketball player shoe and the keyboard it is for Shrek. And we can go on…
