Post photos of your systems/rooms here! (Part 15)

You know I kid. Although, the best humor always has a hint of truth.

 

That's true.

 

My main audio setup is in a mixed used room. Kids using two piano on the right of my setup. They prefer the analog aound of Yamaha U1 over the digital Suzuki.

 

Nice - clean.

 

Love it!

Is it a small apartment/home or is it just a bedroom?

 

He lives in London - nuff said.

 

Yes, that's what I'm thinking. I looked to see if he was in Tokyo or something. They have these new micro homes that make my first apartment in Chicago, (390 sq. ft.), look downright spacious. But I had good sound in there!

His space is very cool!

 

Thank you, it's a small studio flat (although comparatively big for London!)

 

A bunch of changes since my original post 100+ pages back

Added three layer, heavyweight curtains to all the windows, acoustical panels to the ceiling, a P5 Powerplant, a MC275/C47 replaced my integrated, and some cable changes. Just wanted to share the upgraded room Thanks for sharing in my excitement!

 

@Wired4Fun, my room is the exact dimensions as yours, except mine is an 8 ft ceiling while yours appears to be 9 ft. I'd like to suggest you try setting your speakers up in a diagonal configuration. It worked wonders in my square room and I've become an evangelist for the diagonal set up in square rooms. The nice thing about it is you can try it on a slow weekend, and if not to your liking, switch back; nothing but a few hours to lose.
Not sure I've used this pic, but here's mine:

 

Appreciate the suggestion. For a MILLION reasons, including but not limited to WAF, existing furniture, double doors, and windows, I am never changing the layout LOL. I love your idea, though. Just one of those things I won’t be doing.

TBH, I am SO happy with the sound, and have it dialed in just perfectly for me, that the idea of playing with it seems more “scary” than “fun”, too.

Yeah. I’m a wimp LOL!

 

You have excellent taste. Now go and make your bed!

 

I agree - my room is about the same size as yours and it works surprisingly well with larger speakers.

 

I haven't tried it with speakers that large. Bet it sounds good though. I see the corner bass traps which I know can work wonders.

 

I totally hear you Wired! Although timind is correct on his corner configuration theory, ( and I would love to hear his rig), I have been resistant to trying it for it would be a LOT of work to reconfigure. Soooo many times in the past have I fussed with my set up for that little bit better sound. I am a big fan of the, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" philosophy.
Or is that me just getting lazy?

 

If I had the coin, I would buy one immediatly!

 

Hey guys, Merry Christmas!!!!!

 

I like diagonal set up's. In my case, the corner that I have the TV, two sets of front speakers, a small equipment rack and a couple of monoblocks, where the rack and monoblocks are behind the TV, has a rear wall that is 6' deeper than on the other side. This creates a pocket, where the equipment can sit, without intruding into the space of the main room.

 

Most folks would not understand, unless they could sit where you sit. Altec speakers can work in almost any size room. I used to have a pair of Model 19's.

I currently have a pair of A7's in my listening room. Although it's a bit larger than yours (about 450 sq. ft.), you could put the A7's in the same positions in your room as the 19's and they would still sound excellent, from your current listening position.

 

They really are amazing speakers. I was worried when I moved and my listening room shrank from a 600 Sq ft man cave to a spare bedroom. The 19's sound great - with some help from GIK room treatments and a Dspeaker DAC/DSP.

 

not my actual room, but I'm working in something like (see pic below)

why? I like storage my collection in boxes to control some things like humidity (with silica gel), dust and other problems that shelves gives due things are exposed.

 

curious what use you gives to the Giottos Rocket Air Blaster? to clean what?

 

I would love to get the equipment out of the room. I could probably use a closet if it weren't for the remote control.

 

There are remote control "extensions" which may work. You might want to Google "Infrared Receiver Extender Cable".

 

I used to have my stuff in a closet but eventually took it all out. Being in the closet made things too difficult when I changed out a piece of equipment or needed to clean off the dust, etc.
