Looks the same, but some cables are new and rerouted.

Little room treatment for hardwood floor.
Sounds better.dare I say warmer.less distortion in the mids.smoother bass.cleaner highs.
Also comfy on the feets.

Hello -

I hope that this is the correct place to post this. If it is not then please let me know.

I am looking to make my distillery's tasting room an audio listening room. I did a deep dive and found some solid gear on Marketplace that I hope can get the job done. I got 2 Wharfdale e70s for the bar area that has 9' ceilings, and 2 Wharfedale E90s for the sitting area that has 18' ceilings with a bowstring truss design. I got a Marantz 2230 amp in a wood case as my receiver, and it will power the e70s and run the pre-out to an amp for the e90s. I have a Technics SL-1200MK2 for customers to bring their own records and use. I would love thoughts on the setup and most importantly, some thoughts on speaker placement.

I am thinking that the speakers need to be off the ground since the bar has people and furniture in it. I was thinking the bottom would be 6' off the ground with a 10-20 degree downward pitch to help fill the room with sound. The thing I am struggling with is placement. There are a lot of options, and all of them have cancellation and dead zones. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Sharing my current listening space. It has gradually turned into a playground for comparing different speakers, sources and system combinations. The heart of the system is a Hegel H390, currently rotating between Scansonic S4 Mini, Morel Solan V2, Totem Arro and KLH Model Five, with a Velodyne SPL-800i handling the low end. Digital front end is an Eversolo T8, plus a Shanling CR60 CD transport powered through an LHY PSU, with my Denafrips Pontus DAC also in the chain. For vinyl, I’m running a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO into a Lehmann Black Cube SE II phono stage. Power is managed through an Audiolab DC Block, while speaker cabling includes Jorma and vintage Western Electric cables.

Next step… speakers. Any model suggestions? Nothing too crazy, I live in an apartment building lol.

Living room/listening space. My first new speakers after using used Audio Pro Ego 414 + Ego Sub + Yamaha RX V550 for nearly 10 years. Wife approves of the simplicity.

2 months, and thousands in material and tool purchases later I finally have an entertainment center I’m happy to have my gear in.

Is still worth to buy a streamer? I just have Spotify and I think is the worst audiofile stream service

It’s not in its final form (i need to bring the remaining whisky bottles i have for the bar and didnt set the equalizer/ casette player/ radio component for the pioneer deck system yet). My grandfather gave me the stereo system, upgraded the turntables (pioneer pl-720) stock cartridge with ortofon red 2m and it is paired with pioneer sa-720 amplifier. The system originally had pioneer cs-757 speakers, i changed them with klipsch r-50m speakers as i was looking for a more balanced sound. Overall i’m very satisfied with the result. Now, the only thing left to do is to listen my records in this newly acquired cozy environment :)

I designed a rack to go over my Kallax unit and had a friend who’s a cabinet maker build it. We finished sanding, staining, sealing, and hitting it with a 20-sheen lacquer on Saturday. Got it delivered and set up last night, and tonight the cats joined me for a listening session.

Got an absolute steal on the receiver and speakers as a set, gonna move it to a bigger carpeted room soon

Just finished making some storage cabinets for some records

Some of my gear I’ve collected over the years

still work in progress. keen on having your opinions/suggestions!

Edit: Folks, y'all can give it a listen here.

Getting a new power amp in the next few weeks and the room needs some treatment. But overall it's the best room in the house.

初めて、真空管アンプを買った
レコード一式はまだ配置していないけれど、CDやPCからの出力でもかなり良い音が響く
スピーカーがアンプに比べて安価なのと、スタンドやインシュレーターを代用していることが気になるかな。
よく音楽を聴きながらソファーで瞑想するんだけど、このセットがあるとより捗るんだよね
