My asian arowanas died in 2016. Room remained vacant for 3 yrs. My former aquarium room is now a small dedicated audio room.

first picture is reverse angle from the speakers.
second picture is the 1360 gal aquarium that used to be in the same spot
third picture is view from listening chair

Nice, congrats! I had Arrowanas years back, gotta watch that they don't jump out. A little advice if I may: you might want to move that sub away from the tubes as it will rattle them and adversely affect the sound.

Hello and good afternoon to you. Nice transformation, Dimfer! I do have to concur with the comment on the sub. Find a way to move it and the clarity should vastly improve IME. Nice rig, sir.

Interested in your opinion of the Ultras and the intagration with your speakers.
What are your main speakers?

I really like the SB16 Ultras, the app makes it easier to integrate with the main system because you can control the subs’ settings while seated in the listening position.

my main speakers are Magico S7, currently driven by PS Audio BHK300

thanks defride.. room is small - 12’ wide x 17‘ long x 8’ tall (9’ rear half).

Interesting to see such large speakers and a sub in a modest sized space.

Mine is smaller still. 14.5' x 10.5' x 8' but it is dedicated so I can place the speakers and seating position without restriction. Moving to this room from a little bigger than yours I figured I'd need to move my Kharma's on, to big for the room. Anything but, they've never sounded better.

Hope you get many years of enjoyment in your new room!
