You’ve bought the kit, now discover how to make it sound right

11:00 — 12:00

“It’s not sounding right but I’m not sure why. Is it the speakers or the amp?”"Do I need to dampen the room somehow? – it does sound rather bright.”Quite possibly it’s none of those things. Your kit is almost certainly a lot more capable than you realise, i.e. you’re not getting the best out of it.Jeremy will share advice gained from hundreds of systems over 20+ years, from things you can change – FREE – to things you can’t change, unless you’re building a new room! At least in that case you’ll understand the limitations and plan accordingly.
