@joecoulson would be curious for you to try reflecting them off the back wall

Nice job! I have a fish tank in my background too. I have the pump system on a light switch so I can turn off the gurgling sound when doing critical listening though. Fish give me dirty looks initially but I think they really enjoy the music in the long run...

Still very nice! My eyes are drawn to the big SDA's (and the booze)

I have not. But at this point w them hanging over the tank, I’m just gonna leave them. They basically point right at the ears with the current configuration.

So, @Mike Reeter inspired me to post an update. We got some new carpet, and with that decided to do away with the full bookcase behind the couch.
Made a new base cabinet hutch to hold The tank and store records and whatnot.
With that; I had to put the surrounds into the ceiling. Much cleaner look we think. And the sound is better as the speakers are an upgrade over the old bookies that were back there. More room to breath for all this gear.

Killer Audio/Video in a Relaxed, yet Elegant setting. You and your wife have very good taste in Decor!

Thanks Mike. You too!!

Not a setup per say (although there is a Sonos in there) but had to show this one off. Custom built ins in the dining room.

Nice space! I so hope for you that the BIG BAD Adante center channel finds a home in your beautiful space. A full Adante front would be killer! Those towers are massive!

I'll just leave this 65lbs brute here to egg you on! LOL!


Even on sale this BIG bad boy still costs a chunck of change...

It is on my wishlist. But unfortunately not in the cards for me as it would require a major overhaul of the center rack. Which presents nice symmetry with the setup. It’s a beast and would make EVERYTHING move off to the side. Not worth it. The Def Tech CLR is no slouch and serves very well in that spot.

Very nice Joe! If you were a bit closer I would hire your company to do some cabinetry/shelving around the house!

joecoulson

Thanks Dave - you know I would take good care of you and M!

Get in line @verb !

I hear you... much of the time the space dictates whats possible. Def tech does make some interesting products. I had my eye on some Mythos stuff for sale locally but backed out. Just not going to be happy until I make some speakers for myself. So, hopefully I'll have some big 50" tall monsters (Like your Adantes) with open back mids in the room at some point. Then there are subs...still deciding between two sealed 15's or two sealed or ported 12's.

Here's a quick pic of my little system.

joecoulson

I LIKE it!
very cool listening space

TEAforONE

Thanks. It small,(9x13x8)but it's mine.

The tape on the floor give it a lot of audiophile cred. Looks good.

TEAforONE

Thanks maxward!

Those look like some robust stands. Any info on them?

TEAforONE

They're Pangea DS400's. Very stable. I haven't filled them. Yet.

Why such small speakers for the system? There is plenty of room for larger speakers.

TEAforONE

Those are Graham Chartwell LS3/5's. I rotate two other pairs in the system. Nola Boxer 2's,and Hornshoppe Great Horned Heils. Both are larger,however I find something truly magical with those little guys. They're like crack!!

My new 2 channel/ht rig. Trying to build a worthy hybrid setup which will probably mean a preamp with ht bypass but enjoying new it in its current state at the moment. Pretty impressed so far. These 707’s are fun to listen to.

joecoulson

Zach, I can attest to the Parasound P6’s integration into a hybrid. Beautiful bass control of you use a sub.

CH46E

I dont like that I can no longer click on people's pics to enlarge them. Guess that came with the new update??? Now I have to get my glasses on.

9x13 is pretty small. Easy for the bass to get out of control and the sound in general to become congested. Small speakers are perfect.
