My first setup in a non dedicated room was a mix of Gloss speakers and Satin subs and with music listening and lights on it worked . When the dedicated music room/ theater was completed I had already switched to full gloss and the projector exposed the towers immediately. I was on the hunt for upgrades and found Arendal and went with Satin for all bed layers however the subs stayed Gloss and honestly when listening to music the subs add a little bling 😆.
