The room and Systems looking great Paul

[hermit]

Thanks Stuart. You're welcome to pop over for another session when the madness finally ends. I've stopped smoking so it ought to be a more pleasant experience next time. How are you enjoying your Lockwoods?

[Slammed56]

Likewise Paul , will be good to get something sorted out when possible ,I think your Lockwoods are the only thing in the system that’s remained the same since my last visit
That turntable looks simply stunning !!!
It took me a bit of shuffling systems around to get my Lockwoods singing ...... my plan originally was to have them in the big lounge but there now in the smaller 5x4 “Hifi” room , surprisingly they seem to sound better in this room for some reason , they look a bit daft but , hey it’s the sound that counts
RFC xovers are next on the plans for the Lockwoods then I’m going to start a new Horn project for the lounge ..... loads of space in there to go a bit crazy

Yes indeed. It's a funny old game. One minute you think you've a settled system and the next thing you know it's all change. I've had the Sony for years but it needed some fettling and that took quite a while. It's been great having it back.

It's always a pleasant surprise when you see how well the big Lockwoods do in smallish rooms. As you know my room is far from massive. I think you'll be amazed at Paul's crossovers. He really knows what he's doing.

You're a braver man than me.

It might seem like there haven't been any system changes since my last post but a few weeks ago a brand new Luxman LX-380 arrived to replace the long term loan amp from Luxman HQ. Also, my Monitor Golds have been reconed by Nick at Lockwood Audio. He did a great job and they're sounding fantastic.

On the room front, I finally replaced the pink carpet which was a great relief. Also the two 1960's leather armchairs have been replaced by a pair of 1950's recliners in a nice teal fabric that are more suited to the rest of my furniture which is also mainly from the 50's. I am just ever so slightly obsessive about these sort of things. I suspect that the room will always be a work in progress.

Such a beautiful mid-century furnished room and complimenting stereo system. Enjoy!
