    Optimizing small room acoustics - Using room acoustics products from Artnovion, ASI, Harmonix, RealTraps and Vicoustics

    Hi David: I think Realtraps Mondotraps and Minitraps do a very good job for absorbing mid and bass frequency. They also made the room much quieter. They absorbed the boomy bass, highs become more extend and clear. But they also reduce the air around the instruments. They made the instruments...

    Hi David, using Entreq ground box not only "without a loss of dynamics". It does increase dynamic. Bass is much cleaner and can go lower. More details can be heard. Highs is much smoother. Edmund

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Connect the middle post of Tellus II to PS Audio P10. Left and right posts to amp's negative speaker output posts. Details can be heard easily. Soundstage depth is deep. I like laid back, less pressure sound, long listening session won't make you tired. Tellus II is very suitable for me.

    I put my Poseidon on TAOC ASR-5 rack and Silver Tellus on Finite Elemente E12 rack. There are no space for any footer. I put madagascar ebony wood on the shelves, the wood will change the resonance of the shelves. Adding small pieces of Ebony on shelves did made a small noticeable difference.

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Hi spirtofmusic, stacking the Olympus Mini on top of Silver Tellus may not be a good idea. Entreq only recommend Altantis Tellus on top of Silver Tellus.

    Speaker terminal posts are separate. I have two pairs of speaker cables closer to the terminal base. Only grounding right channel, imaging is better than without any grounding. Instruments are more 3D, vocal is in the center as before. I really expect grounding 2 channels will be better than...

    I tried grounding the negative posts of my power amp using Poseidon. Grounding only right channel has a positive effective, I really like the improvement it made.
