Interesting, I'm looking at some 242's to place on the wall behind my sofa to cut down on the reflections.
Bit messy at the moment unfortunately. Having a Pro Monitor shootout. And an Active V Passive shootout at the same time!
Two studio monitor behemoths PMC v Genelec.
Only one way to find out..... FIIIIGGGHHHHTTTT!!
Naa, KEFs never made it, there was a problem with shipping so I cancelled the order.
Those are Mission 751's.
May end up with more than 1 set of speakers, gonna have fun playing with old 90s monitors. What I'd really like is to track down my old pair of Monitor Audio Studio 2s in piano red which I stupidly P/X'ed for some Proac R1SCs
Very nice Ian.
Out of interest, how far do you sit from the front grills of the speakers and how far out from the rear / side walls are they?

That's far too neat for me, but the kit looks interesting from what I can make out in your previous pic's. Black 301 with 12" SME? No idea of the speakers (nice and big !) and can't recognise the other kit either; and the second t/t????????
..I like neat! 301 is a Classic Turntable Company re-engineered TT. The SME is a 312, with Troika. The speakers are active ATC 50s and the kit Leema Acoustics Pyxis pre, Agena stage and Stream CDP. There's a quiet HTPC there too, and a Cuinas DAC. The other TT is a little Roksan Radius 5.
There, wished you hadn't asked now I expect!
Burning Spear told us to play vinyl...But the main thing is a copy of Burning Spear's Marcus Garvey. You are redeemed my son even if you support Chelsea FC.
2.7m from speaker grille to ears (so I'm 1.5m from the rear wall). The speakers are centred about 43cm from the sides (side to wall being just 25cm), and rear wall to grille is 75cm. GIK 244s with range limiters and diffusers are behind as you can see.
Thanks Ian - that's remarkably close to the rear and side walls (which is encouraging) I could easily accommodate that, although the distance from the front grilles to the listening position might be a problem (unless I move my couch backwards).
Is there any reason you went for the 244s over the Tri-Traps? I will be investing in some bass trapping this year and was looking at the Tri-Traps.
