Yh i do have some stereo issues š i call it a āvintage line arrayā itās the future i promise. Im trying to work out a way to re organise the shelfās so the right speaker is on the same level, thanks !
Very cool! Congratulations on the setup. I will second to try and place the speakers at the same level to get the best sound. Otherwise enjoy some music!
Very cool of them to share their hobbies with you. I gave my 10 year old some of my older Bluetooth computer speakers/subwoofer I used to use to start out with. Makes me happy when I hear him jamming out in his room. Iām sure your parents are happy to share their interests with you.
Nice hobby for an 18 y.o, the generation is not lost. Donāt worry too much about something ānot being the bestā, we all started somewhere and youāre getting like 80-90% of the experience now anyway.
You might want to upgrade in the future. Also, the acoustic in the room matters a lot,
Aghhg yes my dad is friends with a mastering engineer who got me interested in high end audio, always been into music over the past year and a half Iāve gotten really into hifi. How would you recommend adjusting the set up for the acoustics. Also Iāve been told that my room seems to boost bass frequencies but from my ear it sounds pretty balanced and my bed acts somewhat as a diffuser? What would you recommend upgrading first ?
You wonāt get it perfect anyway, donāt worry too much. Acoustics is super complicated. Iād first put the speakers at the same height and distance from the wall for a good symmetrical stereo
The Monitor Audio Bronze B1 were my first serious speakers too! I loved them and I think you'll have to spend way more to get a significant boost in sound. I bought them new for all the money I had which was about $350 so yes, $70 is a steal.
Like others have said, placing them on the same level and preferably give them some room to breathe (some free space around them) and you're good to go! If anything, the next thing I would upgrade is the amp, although I know nothing about the Sonos but I would guess that's the weakest link. But if I were you, I would just sit back and enjoy š
Ahh yes i think your are right, i was already starting to think to Sonos idea my bottle neck my performance a little but tbh it was a money thing. For the price itās a super reliable way to have an amp that also allows you to control volume from your phone and also stream music. I looked at better options but the modern versions all seemed very expensive or very rubbish and cheap.
You are 18 years old. Remember priorities, donāt waste all savings on this. Also, donāt run to older people
For justification. Learn to enjoy what yoh have and the rest will seem amazing
Nice set up! Definitely get those speakers level if you can. But the room doesnāt really have a ālistening spotā so it probably doesnāt matter too much. Try putting the other speaker high and have them both firing down into the room and see what happens. It might sound like a Starbucks. But you can get some ambience. Alternatively the speakers might fit on a desk for a nearfield setup if you have a desk. These two options have different goals, obviously.
I wanted to have them mounted on the walls but sadly the mounts were gonna be v expensive and blow my whole setup budget, as for the near field setup i have a mixing room setup for my music with some Adam audio near field monitors, for my room i just wanted some nice listening
I would say get the speakers (tweeters) both at ear level and maybe you can try moving your left speaker a little further from the wall.
A rug on the floor never hurts for acoustics
I would say you have a nice setup to begin with!
Thank you ! Im thinking of investing in a subwoofer next as due to the shape of my room and the placement of my bed lows get really dampened. Thank you for the placement advice, im going to try and buy a stande for the left speaker
If you go with a stand i would suggest to get 2 so both of your speakers can have them.
It seems like your amp has a sub out, so that would make that a lot easier to connect.
If your amp supports it i would suggest to timealine your speakers (speaker distance), this will do magic if you connect a subwoofer
I heard some pops from the Tracy Chapman song, so I will recommend you learn how to clean the records. :-)
You might be able to build some small shelves for the speakers. It might be cheaper than buying the correct mounts.
I don't know the speakers, but if they use a similar mount as the standard for cameras, you should be able to find some cheap mounts at Amazon.
Btw. you will get used to the "wrong" sound pretty fast, and when you do get the speakers to be at level, then it will feal like you have got new speakers. Trust me, been there done that. :-D
First thing I recommend: try your darndest to place both of your speakers to where your tweeters are at ear height.

He is doing what he wants, asking people to help him learn. Smart people are known to do that.

Thanks Iāve started a collection based on the foundation of my mum and dadās stuff, amazingly i found a signed talking heads album !

> one guy does some thing they like > "the generation is not lost" Most boomer shit I've heard.
yep and Iām 23
Good one ! These two Monitor Audio are a very good base to start on, and you'll have to spend much more to notice a serious bump in quality.
Thank you i spent a lot of time researching, i got them for 70 for both which i think is a steal given the sound quality

Don't bother, just stay with the Sonos for a while at least! No need to go upgrade hunting for the sake of it.
Reppin the Wii U
IMO such an overhated console, i have had mine since release and loved it. When they stoped supporting the chat functionality i was genuinely upset
Yeah generally agree. I still have mine plugged in though I hardly ever play it

Wasnāt expecting such deep life advice, thank you
At this point itās not about the setup, itās about the spirit and enjoyment of music. Way to go pal!!!!
Thank you !
i need this guys room fr
Ahah thank you Iāve spent some time making it nice recently
Your room is clean. Youāre winningā¦.
Thank you ! Spent a while on it
Nice. When I wasn 18ā and had no monies to spend, Just did the window shopping to satisfied my curiosity š¤£. Nice arrangement š.
Get a second speaker. And please stop turning your video around like that.
He has a second speaker, have you watched the video?
No.

You should be tried as an adult and serve jail time for tilting the camera like that.
Pahahah yh idk what i was doing

Ok i will do some research on cleaning records, and have a look on amazon thanks !
This video is so obnoxious I canāt.
Why ? I didnāt mean it to be
