Hi!

I am currently building my stereo setup after moving to new apartment and my living room looks like pictured below. It has 44sqm together with kitchen area. The yellow lines are the windows (85% of the wall height).

The TV wall has 6m and the sideboard under tv 2.7m which makes it impossible to place speakers in even distance to sofa which will be the main listening area.

Those will be standing speakers (Monitor Audio Silver 500 or Dali Opticon 6). Currently I have ordered Cambridge Audio CXA61, but then I started thinking about the positioning of the speakers. It’s not possible to change the room’s layout so the left speaker relative to speaker position will always be around 50cm closer. The question is now, can CXA61 be set up in a way to negate the distance and assymetric room? Or would I need something with DIRAC to do that? I initially was thinking about Arcam SA30, but went with CXA61 due to price difference.

    Sorry, can’t help you there. I just run Dirac from my PC, have no experience with anything else.

      Is it possible to calibrate using PC and then stream from phone or tablet with those settings?

        I’m sure there is but again, can’t help you since I have my PC hooked up in my living room with the TV and the speakers so I just use local files for playback.
