The Shindos have landed

I keep the tv where it belongs... Outside.

 

Looks fantastic Brian, I see the Graham tonearm is working. For your sake DON'T hear the Kronos turntable. It will blow you away!!!

 

Yeah, I should probably think about getting a nice turntable one of these days.

 

I don't know about that. If you have a wife with good taste and a more sophisticated sense of aesthetics, she would probably love them! They look very natural in the room. Kind of a mid-century vibe to them as well. Modern, yet earthy.

Brian's crib always has nice interiors. Those speakers look very elegant and at home.

 

Simple, elegant, musical…congrats Brian, you've got a beautiful system and home.

 

They do - they really suit the room.

 

Yeah, they actually look like beautiful furniture. The only downside is that the left speaker sits right in front of what is a ridiculous view of San Francisco and the rest of the Bay.

 

Taste, sophistication and style. What more do you want in a listening room?

Nice work, Brian.

 

The blinds are closed in your photos - but do you have a shot of that view?

 

Congratulations and best of luck!

 

Good on you Brian. What a wonderful setup. When you get some more listening done with the LM CD player let me know what you think of it. I'm contemplating purchasing one of those. Sometimes it's nice getting one piece at a time so you can hear the difference each component makes to the whole. Great job!

 

This, I would love to hear.

 

Congrats Brian!

 

Very nice! I like how you started off with Mogwai as the first thing to play on them. Give the speakers something they probably didn't expect they'd ever get to play.

 

Talk to my wife. She wants all speakers to look like that.

 

Man, I dreamed about playing that record. Sounds phenomenal. Playing Lana del Rey now. Speakers love her too!!!

 

Duplexes can be magical.

 

Congrats, they look great and I am sure they sound fantastic.

 

Are those Altec drivers?! Which Shindo is that?

 

The 604's. AlNiCo.

 

Now that's anticipation!
I've gotten in a habit (or a rut) of always playing something by Pink Floyd as the first thing I play on new speakers or headphones. I need to break free from that. I need to play something I'm actually excited about and anticipating listening to. I hearby resolve to play something newly purchased that I'm anticipating getting to hear as the first thing I play on my next headphones. Something not Pink Floyd. I've got new headphones due in early December. I can do this.

 

Well, congrats! I hope to hear a Shindo system someday.

 

What ... you mean like plywood boxes?

Seriously though congrats on your speakers Brian, sounds like you are enjoying them greatly thus far!

edit ~ digging the LM cd player as well ... very cool!

 

It may be Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

 

Hmmmm... Interestingly, I played my 2014 top 3 without even realizing it. Ha! I guess I keep it fresh.
