New basement

Bigbang

Finally some room to breath. These baby Polk’s just don’t have the lungs to breathe in this space. Looking forward to a trip to The twin cities to pick up the 2.3tls thanks to Keith geppy1. Will post another soon.

Sweet Forte preamp, that F-44 is one that really punches above it’s weight class.

How big is the new room?

Bigbang

Basement is 15x35. Lots of space.

That pre amp changed my mind that pre amps don’t really play a part. Huge difference from my old $100 pre. I forget what I had.

The 2.3TL's would work well in that room. Now while there isn't too much stuff in the room, I would try your speakers without anything in between them or put everything on the floor just to check out the difference in sound without anything between the speakers. It made a huge difference in my room.

Bigbang

Nothing between or everything on the floor. Ok. Interesting. I’ll do it.

I can vouch for nothing between. It can be mesmerizing to hear a complete soundstage coming from a wall between the speakers and they just disappear.

I know one member with 2BTL's in a room much bigger than yours and they have no problem filling it. Therefore, I'd have to say your speakers aren't the issue.

Bigbang

I don’t think it’s an “issue”. I’ve had the larger SDA speakers in a larger room compared to the 1c’s and they just tend to move more air and therefore breathe better in the larger space. They tend to fill it better. I wouldn’t mention it if I hadn’t experienced it.

Man those SDA 1Cs lasted what two weeks lol

I know but how can I pass up 2.3tl’s. They still sound great. I just want more.

I have a 16×24 room with sda2A's and it fills the room good with my krell amp, but not with my marantz sr7007 avr.

With a full mod and spikes and some real cables you would get just that
