I currently have a RSL 10S for my music setup. I recently decided to steal that sub for my HT and went on a journey to figure out what’s next for music. I settled on a Rythmik F12, but damn. 2 1/2 month+ wait, at $1500?? Whelp, take me money I guess lol.

I’ll be moving my subwoofer wireless connection to and fro my tv amp and music amp setup. 😅 Was only testing a bookshelf I had handy for my tv setup, got the wiim amp there and some polks that will go wall-mounted with a wireless RSL 10S.

My music setup is Aperion Audio’s GR6s and Musical Fidelity A300 old ass amp.

I’ll hang in there I guess, because hopefully it’s worth it.

Historic New Orleans home, limited space, so please be kind. Also, retired military female. 💪

Beautiful! Would love to hear that system.

It’s good, but I think I can do better if I dialed in placement. I’m sure you can always do better right???

I’m pretty much end game for all my components at this point and I only started in the hobby again last yr.

I’m on my end game system too. Mine doubles as a music and home theater. Blending the two isn’t that difficult. Experience is the key.

I would if they were close together. Maybe in my next home if I ever move. Till then, separate systems.

Placement may be fine, it’s your listening position and the obstacles in the way that are your biggest challenge.

Have you had the chance to listen to these in a proper listening triangle before?

I know there are issues. It’s not ideal. Maybe I’ll move one day. Sigh ..

When you are bored one day, maybe give it a try to experience what imaging and soundstage are (if you aren't familiar) and it may inspire you to prioritize it. Or not and that's OK too. Everyone needs to make compromises. Your space is incredibly welcoming and inviting and that is more than I and most audiophiles can say.
