It would sure be nice if the roomfit profiles could be assigned to presets on the remote control of the Wiim Amp Pro, Pro Plus, and Ultra. My listening room is very asymmetric. Sometimes I listen with the curtains open, so a lot of sound reflections off the large windows on one side of the room, and sometimes I listen with the heavy velvet curtains closed which greatly reduces sound reflections.

The integration between the baby harbeth's and the sub is if anything even better than with the Tannoys ...
They are maybe a foot or so in front of the Tannoys position which has got me thinking about what was said earlier on trying to improve the sync by adjusting the Ultras auto sync of the mains and subs manually by a ms or two.
I think I will attempt just that next week and see where I get with it

Having failed miserably to resist my urge to buy a second SVS 3000 Micro it got delivered yesterday.
I have connected the two subs to the WiiM Ultra via a y splitter cable.
I haven't had much chance to play around with settings or positioning or anything really as yet. I made sure the settings on the two subs were the same at -20dB volume level and everything left to the Ultra to control.
I was expecting an increase in bass output on the first track I played but it wasn't there ... it may have been an unreasonable expectation with everything left unchanged on the Ultra.
With very limited listening time it did sound different ... somewhat smoother if that makes sense and less localised even though the subs are only about apart.
As a last thing to do before I finished for the night was to run a new RoomFit evaluation.
I didn't change anything from what I was running earlier ... that is crossover at 80Hz, phase 180°, Bypass Mode and Output Bass both off. I didn't have time to run a new subwoofer sync so the latency stays the same.
My room has a bass hump around 50Hz and that's still there with the room evaluation and most of the PEQ bands are still used to correct it but not a problem. Here are my results ... next is to have an extended listen when I get the chance

And here's the SVS 3000 Micro's paired with the Tannoy's. Amplification from the WiiM Ultra is the WiiM Vibelink.
Some tracks I think that the bass is too dominant but I've got used to dialing it back with the Ultra. I think that the main improvement has been to give a "fuller" sound whatever that means. When I compare this rig to the Sonus Faber Guarneri driven by 350 watts of MF Tri-vista power the difference in depth of bass when playing the same track is very noticeable as you would expect.
Best of both worlds really as the the MF system is primarily for playing records but it still sounds superb when streaming Amazon Music hd ultra tracks via a ten year old arcam rdac (using a laptop and rwand). By the way the arcam is a great second hand buy if anyone wants to get into a cheap streaming option other than WiiM.
If I can be arsed to fiddle with changing over the subs to that system I might be tempted to see what it might sound like ...

Stone Temple Pilots? Quality! Setup not bad either
