System Pics 2022

Latest incarnation… but looking for ideas to lose the old fireplace and put something “modern” in (see off topic thread if interested).

Do you need the unit for storage? If it’s mostly just home for the TV maybe bin it off and replace the TV with Samsung the frame model over the (or a nicer remodelled) fireplace.

It’s a nice piece of furniture, destined for the dining room, so just a temporary use here.

that looks the biz.

I see someone in your gaffe collects Moorcroft.
My Gran did so in a very small scale way. All gone now I think; I liked the older more impressionistic stuff she had iirc.

Yes, sorry, ‘bin it off’ was a little harsh! I meant more have it somewhere else.

Don’t worry, no offense taken!

It’s from the Yorkshire company Treske.

Go all out and get the fireplace removed, then get a nice 1300-1400mm wide media cabinet to match the WB arcs in style/colour.

Thing is, both Mrs Wb and I rather like fireplaces. That said, a wood or fossil fuel burning one just feels more and more wrong. Hence the off topic thread.

EDIT and me matching furniture to speakers is not a sensible way to go. I’ve actually rather fallen for the Arcs, but suspect a return to some small-ish floorstanders is on the cards once the lounge is sorted.

Not unless a remodelled fireplace is lower than that one!

(Sorry, but I hate over-fireplace screens with a vengeance. I get a crick in my neck watching them).

Absolutely. I’m investigating the low, wide electric ones, preferably inset into wall (which has an external chimney breast). I started a thread in off topic…

I never get tired of looking at this turntable. A real hi-fi masterpiece IMO.
And quite honestly, does anyone really need more than that ?

Current state of play:

LP12 - Ekos2, Lingo 2, Linto
ATC CDA2
Innuos Zen Mini with LPS
ATC40A

A fair simpler system compared to the previous all naim stack & the best sound I’ve had at home.

Room is a bit messy & needs redecorating but I can really be bothered.

That'll be the missus. We've a few pieces of William and Walter but they live in a cabinet - out of the way of any danger.

Thank you!

Given my comments upstream re the Falcon Ls3/5a bass output it probably won’t surprise you to hear that I’m extremely interested in the Q7.

No significant changes - but when an opportunity presents itself to check the validity of the hype - how could I refuse the siren call?

If it comes in a black wooden box, all the better! An Ortofon what?
