Lovely, nice and simple. Another good looking media unit, what is it (I’m looking for one)?
Back with Naim
Bit of progress, fireplace out and gas capped off, plasterer to book for boarding up/skimming etc, flooring to sort, new table, window being fitted on Tuesday, tv back sometime next week, new lights (wall and BIG one) and curtain pole and curtains here to be fitted, wall socket to move, 2 sets of double doors to replace. All in, probably done by 2030 .Part one of living room refurb.
Moved system to long wall (a 90 degree spin), new tv cabinet (tv away being repaired), fireplace/old gas fire to come out (just blanking it off), old surround system to be revamped, maybe just to a sound bar initially, new window, new sofas, flooring, lighting etc.
Just to add, as simple as it gets, a Chromecast Audio, run off a battery charger, into a Tisbury passive pre, Quad 306 power, Spendor S3/5R2, playing Spotify, controlled with IPhone. (BK Electronics XLS200 sub., not in use at the moment).
I love some of the really neat and tidy systems/rooms in the pics above.
Elegant is the word.
Our redecoration is on the back burner, so excuse the faded 70s backdrop to mine!!
New to the rack is my superlative Avid Integra, driving the B&W 802 D3s which are finally giving up their full potential. The sources are my Technics 1210GAE (which I think will shortly be replaced by my fettled Roksan Xerxes 20+) and on the digital side my Roon NUC (“Rock”) into the Musical Fidelity M1-DAC bought as a stop-gap, but sounding rather excellent. Silver disc playback not currently linked up, but will be the superb Sony SCD-777 ES SACD player once I can determine the best way to accommodate it.
Well done!Back with Naim

Loving the extra distance between the speakers, nearly 2.4mtr, impressed at the improvement this has brought, they were woefully closer together on short wall of room prior to this. (Both sub and DAC back in play).
And "Logitech Harmony!"That room is screaming ‘Rug!’
Yep, went looking the other week, it’s on the ‘to do’ listThat room is screaming ‘Rug!’
.
Haha, yep , I’ll add it to the list, cheers!And "Logitech Harmony!"
That Avid Integra integrated is a fabulous looking piece of gear, would love to hear one at some point!

I agree Per! Sometimes, when I visited a HiFi-show (been a long time) or watch a HiFi-show coverage video on YouTube I wonder...how many of these visitors really have the space to put the speakers that far into the room ?! (they most likely will be single, have a large livingroom, no kids and/or a VERY tolerant SWMBO!)Wish more speakers, current available, would work right up against rear wall like these do.
Its crazy you sometime need to place speakers more than one metre out in room, must be really annoying.
That, I look forward to seeing.Silver disc playback not currently linked up, but will be the superb Sony SCD-777 ES SACD player once I can determine the best way to accommodate it.
They are just great speakers if you fancy the omni concept a bit.
Walk around and soundstage sort of follow" you,
Well made by people from the old Carlsson fame.

Thinking back my SBL, Isobarik and others didn't have that compromise.
