System pics 2017

[Still]

I must admit I had to spend a couple of minutes looking closely before working out it was acoustic!

That is probably the best looking system I've ever seen, mainly because I hate looking at audio, but I like the checker pattern you've done with the black/brown combo and hidden most else away. Is there enough power for the Pro-Acs? Have you tried the hammer blows in "Blood Sweat and Tears"?

Thanks!

I don't listen loud and the Pro-Acs are an easy load at 10ohms. I never get anywhere near running out of power. Don't know the track you mention but I don't feel like I'm missing out on any part of the audio spectrum.

It's a Johnny Cash album and worth a listen.

My new system

..well I have two of the power amps anyway.

I'm in KL and visiting a friend (and his system). Absolutely fantastic music reproduction. The most open, transparent and dynamic (and loudest) system I've ever heard.

They made my B&W 800D2's sound like crappy stand-mounts. I'm ruined :-(

These monsters require a lottery win and a large house with no wife in it!

Not mine but nice.

 

[Bob McC]

They’re grotesque!

 

[merlin]

They're punk.

 

[narabdela]

...but nice.

You jest surely?

If it becomes self-aware we’ll probably need a Terminator to deal with it.😁

I suspect most on here would think 'Yuk!' - followed immediately by 'I wonder what it sounds like?'

 

[merlin]

I suspect most on here shop at John Lewis and Marks and Spencer David

The paint work is done by a highly regarded artist who usually works on custom Harley Davidson motorbikes. The design and crossover by a very well known European loudspeaker guru.

Of course, you won't find these in the UK. Even Birds Eye Maple veneer is considered a little risqué and overly exotic by the majority over here. Apologies to them for the Gallicism.

What are they Mike ???
Home brew ??

 

[darrenyeats]

The drivers look a little smaller than the LPs, so probably 12 inch?

 

[merlin]

They are a custom design for Martina Schoener and L'Art du Son John. They will be at the Analog Audio Association Show next week at Krefeld near Markus' old place.

A friend I trust says they sound glorious. I just love the look - although five way crossovers aren't a challenge I would want to take on.

I love the sponging paint effect, I wonder if it will ever become fashionable?

I'm curious what the little speaker fastened to the record storage does.

 

[-alan-]

That's part of the house intercom.

Used to deliver messages like 'Can't you turn those bl**dy things down, I can hardly hear myself think upstairs here with that racket..'

It ruins the sound of the system*
