I have recently moved into a flat with a smaller living room (4x5x3m) with wooden sprung floors and my hifi dooesnt seem to like the room.
I have TDL studio 0.75m / Esound CD-E5 / Dussun V8i and the bass is just silly. Ive pulled the speakers out so far that if they come into the room any further they will be in the centre. Ive tried moving things about to cure standing waves, different cables between the pre/power sections of the amp and trying to bung up the ports on the speaker to no avail.
I guess 250 watts per channel going through transmission line speakers is too much so I tend to have to lower the volume down so its barely audible to control the bass on alot of my cd's.
Now I like these speakers alot , they image well , they are very detailed and they are (were) very fast sounding so Im looking to replace them with something with a similar sound but more neighbour/police friendly.
ive heard good things about the Usher S520s as a cheap bargain but cannot demo them locally.
Any ideas on what to aim for up to say £600 ?
