Now that the MF9s have run in and stabilised it was time to spend some time moving them a few centimeters at a time to find a more ideal position.
As they ran in they had become a bit bloated in the mid-bass, reducing clarity and general intelligibility as well as reducing the speed that they are normally so good at.
My room has a tendency to thickness rather than leanness so careful positioning is always needed, but the Neats have required more effort than most. They are a true full-range loudspeaker so are capable of exciting most room modes and resonances.
The effort has been rewarded with a far better insight into music, the recordings and, most importantly, the performances.
I think there is still more to come with even more fine tuning but that will come with time and patience.
Interestingly, as the perfornce has improved from CD, Hard Disc and Vinyl, it has exposed the shortcomings on internet radio. It’s not going to stop me listening to Radio Paradise as their choice of music is so good, but if only they had a 320k AAC feed…
