I like those chairs and the room.
How did you implement the crossovers?
I havenāt got any pictures at the moment, but before I went on the road I upgraded my bedroom setup to include a Powernode playing into a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 100G Green standmounts.
Hopefully they will be run in by the time I get back home in ten days.

There are some truly amazing setups listed in this thread.
What are peopleās thoughts on room treatment?
Itās a must if you want to get the best listening experience in your room. Room treatment first, DSP second.

I have the Dac 2 and I forgot how to adjust the volume on it. Itās connected to my Naim but itās like 3/4ths volume and itās supposed to be set automatic right?
I donāt consider I have a large enough room to accommodate room treatments (I would need bass traps & others) however @Jazzfan_NJ (many thanks) recommended Room correction using your iPhone and HouseCurve which I tried yesterday and my initial results are impressive. I think I will be able to resolve my booming bass problem with a little more tweaking.

Probably another post is warranted. Butā¦ WRONG!
I joke, kind ofā¦ for me sound hitting my ears AND my body is MUCH more gratifying than headphones. I have some great cans, but it is not the same. I do believe that the best audio experience requires more than ears. Music is felt by the body in addition to sensed by the ears. Sorry for the detour this is probably off topicā¦
Edit: I created another topic so as not to derail this one: Are headphones a substitute for speakers?
I mean no offense, we all do what we doā¦. But we can have an entertaining argument!

Calibration/HT mode selection is on P16.
You can also adjust the output gain on the XLR outputs by moving the internal jumpers around - P25 onwards.

I must admit I am quite new to the topic of room treatment. However, I have been experimenting with convolution filters to correct for the room response and my experience so far is that you can limit the peaks, but it is really difficult to fill the dips in the frequency response. Seems like you can pump endless energy to fill the dips without a good result. I guess that is where room treatment is a better solution to take away energy absorbers in the room.
Probably good to start a separate thread on this topic.

Without stating the obvious, a null is a point of cancellation
Adding more energy just self cancels

Finished the renovations except for acoustic treatments coming in a few months.
New racks arrived today. I havenāt played anything on Roon yet because Iām addicted to the sound of my TT after having had it mothballed for nearly 6 months. Delrin separators between shelves has tightened-up the vinyl playback. Wow.

Not to worry since Iām not the least bit offended. I pretty much agree with youā¦up to a point and that point is that high quality headphones sound better than low quality speakers. However I will continue this discussion on the new thread that you so graciously created.

Hmm, may have to undo my like with TT comments 
Kidding, lovely space, definitely post an update when treatments are in place. That should really transform your space 
What are your room dims and care to share your acoustic plans?
Hereās an artistās impression of what the room will be like when treatment is in. The crappy beige is actually going to be a light ash grey - the 3d scan of the room for the ābeforeā render that they then use to build on the elevations showing the panels was not very good with colour accuracy!
Room is 5.8m wide, but about 15m long - behind the viewing perspective in the pic above, is about another 9m of living area with a dining table and kitchen at the far end. Plenty of little spill areas to dissipate sound.

In actual fact, as part of the reno, Mrs Tel decided new couches were on. So we have his 'n hers La-Z-Boy recliners in the listening sweet spot now (I took these prior to the new hi-fi racks arriving, but you get the idea:
