This brings back a lot of good memories, my college set up. I was really lucky to have such a good sounding set up back then, I used it everyday and it was the best material possession I had. I enjoyed studying near it or watching videos on it or playing video games late at night.
It truly kept me sane for the majority of my schooling.
Then I sold it all - and bought my then girlfriend (now wife) her engagement ring.
Took 8 years off from audio and came back a few years ago... my wife asked me to go back to audio.
This was my favorite system of all time, even if it is overshadowed by my big rig now. I probably utilized it more than any of the 3 systems I own now.

Very nice setup there Joey, ESPECIALLY for a college student. How did you like those AV123 Stranda units? I've never seen those until recently when a set was offered on the local CL. In that same beautiful rosewood finish.

Got a new rack for the source gear. Isolates the source a little better and more importantly gets that TT up a little higher so I’m not leaning low in front of the tv. Sub sounds better with imaging now too.

How have you liked the Kef's? I heard them at AXPONA and had a good talk with the brand Ambassador Jonan Coorg. He gave a good presentation and demo. He told me how he and his wife decided to clear out their rack of gear for the Wireless. The speakers sounded pretty damn good and that's saying a lot given the mega buck stuff at the show. At some point in the future I would love to try a set of these in my living room for a two channel system. The simplicity and capability of the setup is nice.

So far, especially in the acoustically challenged room, they are doing fantastic. I have had them over a year. Since the firmware and app updates, the actual KEF app works much better. I actually have been using my Lumin D1 a little bit less since the update.
I have a schiit sys passive in the mix as well so I can go between my Jolida D9 phono pre and the Lumin D1. @AsSiMiLaTeD is also using the KEF LS50W
For the money and what's included on them, they are hard to beat.

New Jesse pic.
Did a remodel the other day, and it looks really good. Sounds good too!
Don’t pay attention to the assorted [email protected] in the corner, I did this Friday after school and then went to bed, and have just now had time to snap a pic and start cleaning up.

I've always thought the goal of high-end audio was not to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Turn that darn music down' but to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Tell your friends to go home and you can practice later this week'.

Someday svs will make dual subs that ARE a tv stand....
What a great idea. However the storage would be null and void because of the vibration lol.

What TV? All I see is bits and pieces around the stand.
On a more serious note, the TV could be mounted on a wall, and the stand would just be a place for pictures, records, etc.
