THE CLARISYS ARIA INSTALLED

If I may ask how far is the back of mid/tweet towers to front wall ?
Amazing room and speakers I love the look of curved clarysis . Just a work of art and sound at the same time.
Great job florian amazing
9.5' / Thank You
 
It’s nice to see such SOTA speakers in a room worthy of them.
 
I’m guessing he’s asking because this is what the Aria website shows.

Congrats Gary!
 
Nice rad.
How long did it take to set them in the room. Are you still working on getting them integrated?
Did you have to adjust room treatments such as bass traps and scattering devices.
I guess I am asking, how much work are they to optimize in a space? Were they easier or harder than other speakers you have used.
Thanks
 
Very nice design, as with Picolo. I presume it is also functional. I like the 'wind in sails' to launch the magic carpet of sound immersion.

Hi Kingrex,

Since I owned Clarisys speakers previously, (although a different model) I knew that setup would take less time but after a few days I feel I have them integrated quite well. 4 towers instead of 2. I still may experiment more but I know I'm very close. Getting great tonal balance, soundstage & Imaging!
They are quite easy to setup. I guess experience with your dedicated room matters.
As far as room treatments same applies, I didn't have to do any changes as far as bass traps & diffusion. That work was already done with the previous speakers & work well with the ARIA. Loving what I am Hearing!
 
Update:
My last report was on setup.
I stated that I would do more experiments but thought I was close.
This was wrong, I was not that close, hard to admit. Live & learn! New speakers take time!
Initial setup I had the speaker toe-in moving between 3-6 inches which I thought was close & getting good tonal balance, Imaging, & soundstage.
Well, after more than a full week of CONSTANT moving 4 towers around (instead of 2) I have found that these 4 towers prefer a toe in of 1 to1.5 inches. I would even say some rooms may even prefer a straight on presentation, but in my room just a slight toe-in.
I was taken aback on how much the soundstage & bass response improved, even more than before.
Tonal balance still extremely good, Imaging great as well.
Another strange aspect was that with toe-in at the 3 to 6" I felt that singer's voices were a bit recessed. Moving them to 1-1.5 inches brought the voices more in line with the instruments, music.
I will say this, I do know I'm close, very close. LOL!
These speakers are very Musical, Love them!

What is your room size and how close to the front wall are they? And how close to the sidewall . How far are you sitting from them?
 
22.5' x 33.5' room
10' from front wall
sitting 10' from mid / tweeter towers
mid /tweeter towers are 6.5' from side walls
