Swaping out an older Ultra Center for a new one....

[Pogre]

The newer room downstairs - approx area 15x24 with open half back wall

The way you have it placed right now is for sure less than optimal. Try what I suggested above and let us know the results.

Would these help?

You don't need isolation feet. You need to pull it forward and raise it up so the tweeter is at ear level.

BTW I did crank up the db's under the denon to +8, helped a little

Some use something like these to angle the speaker up https://www.amazon.com/Stopper-Floor-Door-Solution-Residential-Commercial/dp/B084ZPVV8Z/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=door+wedges&qid=1614452036&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNExLNUdGTlJXT1BTJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjQ0NTU2MzVLNFowQ00xU0IzUyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTc4MzE1MVZEMTFRMldYREpENiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Well, you can still try it and see if it makes a difference even if it's temporary. You can try angling it up too. These have worked out pretty well for me in the past.

LOL. Sometimes I just hide them but the amazon links are the longest.

And pull it forward too! You're getting ugly reflections from the stand. The further forward you can pull it the better. I even have mine hanging over the edge just a little bit.

Definitely pull it out from that wall. Get it as close to the front edge of the entertainment unit as you can and rerun room correction. A cheap, effective way to angle it up is to place a few felt circles under the front edge. You can get them in black and they won't be noticeable at all.

Depending on how far away you're seated you may need one or two.

 

[NINaudio]

as far as long amazon links, everything from "ref=" on out is junk and not necessary for the link to work.

Oh ya! that's right. You can age wine in the ocean to great effect, but speakers still don't need to be broken in!

And bourbon...this makes me want some Jefferson Aged at Sea! lol

Pogre... just like most things, there is definitely a point of diminishing returns for wines.

 

[fast fred]

Thanks Guys I will try these tips!

Pics of your setup?

 

[fast fred]

So an unrelated question.....wait for the one PB4000 or get Dual SB3000???

And I'll answer your question with another question! Why SB3000's instead of PB3000's?

 

[fast fred]

mainly room size and budget

 

[fast fred]

Also I thought if you go dual you can do sealed as opposed to one Ported

 

[NINaudio]

two sb3000's will not give you the same low frequency extension as a single pb4000, if those are the only options I'd wait for the pb4000
