Though far from perfect, it's actually not that bad. Just outside the pictures frame there's a sofa at the right wall, a large bookshelf on the left wall and a curtain in front of the window. In the short run, there will also be a thick, softish area rug on the floor (I didn't tell her this rug is hifi equipment actually). There's another door opening on the opposite side, I believe a couple of sound waves disappear somewhere else in my appartment, at least I'm not experiencing any flutter echoes. nicketynick;185027 Wrote: > If only something could be done with all those wires trailing > about...... Granted, those wires aren't laid out very beautiful for now. I'll add some proper cables of the right length soon and spend some thoughts on how to drape or obscure them. nicketynick;185027 Wrote: > I suppose you could put an SB3 on each speaker and sychronize them (I > wonder if they synch up accurately enough for this???) I prefer simple things, so I'll stick to the cables. And if I had a 2nd SB, I'd use it in the kitchen. nicketynick;185066 Wrote: > A good idea, but....

You're right, these floors are from 102 year old fir planks, brightened with base and some pigmented oil. And it's not my house - no way drilling holes in the floor. pablolie;184894 Wrote: > Beautiful setup - minimalist and purposeful and therefore very pure both > in looks and (I am sure) function. Thanks. Funtion in terms of ease of use is great. Since the wattage of the idling amps is just like 2 watts I don't mind leaving them powered up all the time. The amps are attenuated with a fixed voltage divider, so that I can use the SB volume control in the range from 50 to 75 for my usual listening levels retaining a good SNR. I'm also happy with its function in terms of sound reproduction, building these speakers was a giant leap ahead compared to my previous 70's Pioneer receiver/DUAL shelf speaker setup. They sound larger than they look, very fast and clear in the highs, though not cold or tedious. Anyway I'm not considering myself an audiophile... For sure there are some possibilties for improvements. Linear PSU, rug (see above), active crossover with a 2nd pair of amps (would fit in the base compartement of the speakers, too), shielded power cables, external dac...

Just for the records: the furniture isn't expensive designer bullshit like it's depicted in glossy magazines. It's either my own work, from garage sales or IK*A. And it looks like that simply because I feel comfy in a bright and uncluttered surrounding. -- t081 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ t081's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7971 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
