Like the sound I am getting right now. Just running standard Dirac curve. Seems to have plenty of bass. I can feel the impact of the bass in my seat, but it is not overbearing. Sound pans are excellent.

Not looking forward to this next one. I have outgrown my rack. Ordered a new 43RU unit. Have 23 pieces of equipment to move over into new rack.

What a terrible burden to bear

Look on the bright side...you can get all your cables rerouted and they'll be "neat" for a while

That's going to be a re-wiring job.

That is the whole reason for the new rack.

Yep, and I want to change the order in my rack, so going to require some new longer wires in some cases.

Middle Atlantic QAR 35RU

I usually keep the boxes for everything, but did not for this rack. I never thought I would be replacing it.

Instead of replacing my Salamander, with one countertop, Salamander replaced the top with two tier shelving.

1st post for me and interesting for me to come across your HT. How do you find the AudioControl Maestro X7 compared to your previous Marantz? It is probably too expensive for me but still ... interesting to know. 

Our mains are quite similar, as LCRs I also use AE's TD12M (1 pcs, not MTM) + Beyma TPL 150H. Front subs are 4 x AE's PB 18H+, at rear wall 4 x AE' SPB 15. (PB 18H+ are the same as TD 18H+ but a dust cap replaces the phase plug.) Front wall is also similar, the LCRs are placed in "dog houses " with baffle width 86 cm, above and behind are combined corner chunks / limp membrane absorbers. Sealed boxes for the 2x2 subs next by goes from floor to ceiling. The room is a "sealed bunker" with all surfaces in thick concrete so I get a substantial room gain. Pressure gain rising about 9-10 dB from 20 to 10 Hz. -No need for extremely powerful amps ...

At the moment I am biding my time for a new AVR, probably it will be Denon X6700H but I might await news on the new Yamahas with Auro-3D. Auro-3Ds hook up with optimum 30 degree vertical angle for the surrounds is more suitable for me than an Atmos setup, as I have a low ceiling height of about 220 cm. 16 surrounds in place now, will probably be 17 pcs.
