Wow, very lucky kids. I bet “Paw Patrol” never sounded so good!
Cheers!
Telly isn't connected yet to the ND5XS2 as I need a right angle toslink adaptor as the TV is too tight to the wall.

Second setup for the new kids playroom, carpet delayed by 4-5 weeks but I couldn't wait to set this up.
The Nait 2 is THE all time classic for both the look and the sound IMO, very nice !Second setup for the new kids playroom, carpet delayed by 4-5 weeks but I couldn't wait to set this up.

It’s a handy pic to have if you’re considering speakers with a relatively low WAF! I suspect most speakers will be more acceptable if you show the Lockwood pics and ask “what do you think of these?”
Maybe, but The Rega Io may take its place, handily.The Nait 2 is THE all time classic for both the look and the sound IMO, very nice !
I think the Lockwoods look like what speakers should look like and are fine. In fact, I consider them beautiful but that might be going too far for some people...
Speakers should look like speakers, not like some sculpture or masquerade as furniture. Personally I consider the looks of Sonus Fabers or Wilsons or Focals unacceptable and so will my spouse.
They are great speakers but will be better with a solid wall behind them.Recently fell upon a cracking pair of Naim SBL, if you didn't know better you'd swear they were made last week
Was a little spoilt for choice and did feel incredibly guilty swapping out my Kan mk1s for these........
Finally put together the headphone "system" in a dedicated location, and not a selection of cupboards to house various bits.
Currently in the roster - Denon AH-D7200, AKG K-701, Sennheiser HD-650. All recabled / reterminated for balanced operation. Missing from the picture is the AKG K-1000, currently undergoing re-termination.
The actual kit driving all these:
Trafomatic Head One for a valved amplifier, SAC KH-1000 for a balanced transistor amplifier, Matrix Audio mini-i 3 Pro for the source (networked DAC being feed from the ROCK powering the main system).
Equipment rack is DIY heavily influenced by Tabula Rasa designs (beech and maple solid wood + tempered glass shelves), headphone stands are DIY (aluminium + Delrin) heavily influenced by Woo Audio HPS which were perpetually out-of-stock so I resigned making my own.
What does that mean? Where does the ideal come from?Speakers should look like speakers...
Hey - can I ask how you're getting on with the Matrix Audio mini-i 3 Pro?

It has been flawless so far. I did have to update the firmware to get Roon Ready capabilities, but it is a simple procedure and fully automated.
Note I do not use it's volume control, nor the headphone output - but solely as a streaming DAC.
