Haha... well, I actually had to remove the horn and the back panel to reduce the weight so two people could get it up the stairs.
Awesome looking setup! May I ask what those speakers are? They don't match any of the speakers listed in your setup Tannoy's maybe?
Yes, sorry, I had not updated my setup information. These are Altec Lansing A7-500W "Magnificent" horn speakers that I recently acquired.
Indeed. I bought those prints from Mosaic over 20 years ago. Never had a big enough listening room (man cave) that would fit them so didn't get it framed until now.
We've just moved in last week to excuse the mess but here's my current highly un-impressive setup but after just buying our first house and with a child on the way, i'll have to wait a while until I get some Magnepan's. Still, sounds good to my untrained ear. Looking to change out the CA to a NAD 3020 shortly and the turntable to something altogether better.

Seems you have a Well Tempered Amadeus and a ??? in this rig, wondering about if they sound different? Kind of two 'diametrically opposed' designs ... ultra modern unique arm design vs. conventional? both belt/thread drive though.
The other turntable is a Pro-ject Xtension 10. I like them both. I had the original Well Tempered Classic table a while ago so I am used to the WT table design. The only inconvenience is that is doesn't have a tone arm lift so you have to cue and remove the arm from the table manually (needs a steady hand and not recommended while drinking... I have had an accident or two....).
I really liked the reviews on the WT / Amadeus but these days I need (no, want) convenience! Thorens has end of play auto lift, thinking if I get another TT it'd be full auto ...
Full circle... After a few years of experimenting with all kinds of systems I've returned to my first love. Not sure why it took it me so long - it's so good!
Older....simple and relaxing. Living room system .... just FM and cd here. Background while entertaining, sitting having a beverage with my bride. Pioneer SX-3700 .... Dynaco A35's .... the other speaker
Correct. Moved last year. Room isn’t quite as pretty as the last one, but the new house and City (SLC) are major improvements.
