    I reviewed some Waterfall speakers - they were "OK" but nothing to get really excited about. I think it is their looks that would decide the purchase.
    Actually, they were the same model you have - https://hifipig.com/waterfall-audio-...-loudspeakers/

    Worth looking at those with a view to getting something better. I suspect they would have problems filling a room that large. But they weren't at all bad and I'd look at positioning them first.
    25 feet apart. Wow. How far away are you from them?

    If you're looking at subs to fill out the sound, you should consider getting a pair for stereo use, in large wide rooms they really add a spatial effect in the low frequencies you can't get from a single sub.

    It wasn't an especially cheap set up, but the sound is highly underwhelming. They are in a pretty big room, so the speakers are maybe 25-30 feet apart.
    My options are to change the system in some way, by altering the interface with the edge, add a subwoofer, change the speakers, or sell the whole lot and start again with something like a devialet phantom.
    Has anyone got any ideas or advice?
    It would be genuinely appreciated.

    Have you set the Chromecast and Amazon to give the best quality they can, are you using analogue or optical output to your DAC.

    There maybe Tweeks you've missed.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    Hi Dan, welcome to AOS,

    I have Amazon Prime running from an Echo Dot, through an Amptastic Mini-1 to some Celestion 5's and a BK sub. Ok for convenience and having the radio on, but when I tried Spotify from laptop, the difference was like night and day. And that's with my modest set up and a pair of cloth ears.

    Also you must have a hole in your stereo image you could drive a bus through. You could do to bring speakers closer together if possible.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
