Is that some sort of room treatment on the left? If so, what is it?

Those ATCs look good on the Targets BTW - reminds me of the Stonehenge in the Spinal Tap

The room treatment is from GIK Acoustics:

After flicking through a few pages of System Pics, I get the distinct feeling of seeing endless Readers Wives.



Wrong and right at the same time

Are you suggesting a sub-forum?

Please don't....

I have some spikes but we are in the process of moving house so I don't want to put any holes in the carpet

You're doing more damage to the carpet with what you've got in the picture. With the great weight of the stands you're crushing the fibres underneath, which will leave a mark. The spikes push between the carpet fibres and through the backing so they don't damage carpet at all. When you remove the speakers you've just got a small hole where the fibres have been pushed back. Just push the fibres together again.

Noob so go easy. Michell Gyro, MC100B valves, B&W CM9s...

Static not pictured I see. If you've just moved in I'd get an electrician to give the house a once over, maybe the house wiring is degrading. Or is that what you're afraid of, that the sparky will put yellow tape over the doors and condemn the whole house?

I get my gratification just fine as it is.

They're my old R4s, they've been sat on carpet with no spikes for about two years and only moved yesterday. There's already no evidence of where they sat, I presume the bottom plate size spreads out the load reducing any potential damage to miniscule levels. I'm sure they'll be fine.

A little Leben CS300xs has arrived. First impressions are very good.

Big speakers and small amp > Small speakers and big amp

Change my mind

 

[Nero]

Depends on the efficiency of the speakers I guess. A Nait 1 with NS1000s is not bad.

I’m not sure what it is, but if it demands it I’ll take it to our leader. Hopefully our leader will get appropriately zapped.

I think it might be a Kronos.

First 'new' piece of hifi equipment for over five years, but it's a beauty:

Technics RS-1700 reel to reel, complete with the rare remote control unit.

That is a lovely room Theo. I would really love to hear those Jamo speakers one day with Exposure amps.

 

[mega lord]

I particularly like the glitter ball

 

[Theo]

Particularly useful on disco nites...

 

[mega lord]

How does that ceiling (or lack of) affect the sound ? Do you feel like you are in Lincoln Cathedral

That R2R is deeply cool.
