More like 10g with the bayonet extension, methinks. I did not weigh it - but the spec sheet marks it at 18.5g, whereas the vanilla DL-103 is specced at 8.5g. Still managed to balance it out with the largest weight - but it is as close to the pivot as it has ever been. Not a bad thing resonance wise.

Having said not a month ago that I didn't envisage any changes to my system this year unless something unexpected happened financially something did happen financially that wasn't expected which freed up a bit of cash for these beauties.

It was a case of right place, right time & right price. Only had them 2 days but so far loving them.

Was the seemingly perfect matching of speaker and stand veneers a lucky coincidence or carefully planned?
PS - Would be good to hear your thoughts after a few weeks of listening on how they compare to your JR149s.

The match with the stands was pure luck, it is nice when things like that happen happens though, it satisfies the slightly ocd nature in me.Was the seemingly perfect matching of speaker and stand veneers a lucky coincidence or carefully planned?

I will to do a comparison with my JR149s when I get some time & post my thoughts.

My little set up.

That’s a great looking cabinet - what is it please?

Thoroughly approve of your "source last" system
Definitely the way to go these days with the many low cost but technically perfect digital sources/DACs that are available.Having said not a month ago that I didn't envisage any changes to my system this year unless something unexpected happened financially something did happen financially that wasn't expected which freed up a bit of cash for these beauties.

Thanks. The Accuphase is new, I’m still used to the Naim amps which are small and lovely.
Thank You. We ordered this from our local furniture shop which imports directly from Indonesia. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a brand.

Thanks. I used to have a top of the line Auralic streamer and a Chord TT. Sold both and don’t miss them

In just a few key words, how would you describe the difference between the Naim kit and the Accuphase amp, if I may ask ?My little set up.

Finally got the S2 stands that fit (screw-on affair) my LS50 Wireless II's. Have them 2/3 filled with Atacama Atabites. Much of the remaining cable clutter will go away once I get my fiber connection up and running wirelessly. So a bit messy until then. These speakers will be either love or hate aesthetics-wise but I think they look amazing. Running Tidal Connect via the smartphone and a HDMI eARC to the telly (LG CX OLED) when watching movies etc. TT is the Technics SL-1500C (with Achromat and KABUSA silicone arm damper) with an EPC-U205CMK3 cartridge and Rothwell Rialto phonostage. I don't play LP's that often. Toying with the idea of a subwoofer. Preferably one that plays music well. Could be a REL T7i or perhaps the new KEF KC62 that looks interesting (but also expensive).
How easy are those stands to level? I assume levelling is done from under the bottom?
I just bought a pair of LS50 Meta passive in Royal blue.
Cool photo. But forgive my ignorance, what is the blue tack looking gear holding your top driver / speaker section to the lower?

Yes, you adjust the spikes on the bottom - a tool for the job is supplied. And once adjusted the spikes can be fixed. The spikes rest in some concave "shoes" with filt under for easy movement of the stand (on hard surfaces). Speakers are "welded" to the top-plate with 4 bolts.
I recommend filling the columns as the stands are only about 5kg each. I put 7kg Atabites in each. Nice and stable.
The Royal Blue Meta's look lovely.
Thanks, are the spikes nice and sharp as in carpet piercing?

Well, what do you think about the Accuphase vis a vis your Naim gear? Lovely system, BTW!
