A setup from Milan V2.0

I just now tried that alternating CD block scheme on my shelves - it just looked a mess when I dit it.

Ciao Eugenio, I have the same problem myself, an extra dedicated room would be wonderful.

Hi Drew!

In principle I share your perplexity, the optimal would be a room for the hifi and another room for the home theater.
But then there is the reality, so I have to compromise: I don't have an extra room to devote to HT and for me the current solution is a good balance between aesthetics and hifi only performance, which for me is the priority

My setup has now reached a stable configuration and this time I tried to do a low-cost diy optimization.
I wanted to act on the vibrations of the cabinet and the inspiration was given by the Vibbeaters.

The manufacturer says that these mouse-shaped bags act in three areas:

1. the weight of the Vibbeaters increase the stability of the cabinet
2. the bags extend the height of the loudspeaker cabinet to a point outside of it, and in that way a part of the vibration will be outside of the cabinet
3. the magnetic characteristics of filling inside the Vibbeater (it should be copper and other non specified precious metals) impacts on electromagnetics fields generated around and in the cabinet

I've done my bags with the leather bag of Ron Pampero, filled with a mix of 2 two different types of fine quartz sand for aquarium.

And this is the result:


Has anyone done a similar testl?

Beautiful room and beautifully laid out system.
I can admire it, and be jealous of it! - but it's way too neat and tidy for me.
It would stay like that for, ooooo, 2 minutes max if it was me living in it!

By the way - that bag on top of the speaker .... !!

Yonks ago, there was a habit of sticking lumps of (roofing?) lead on top of -not just speakers - but amps.
I now use mine as fitness aids (weights!)


I like the 'cabinet'. Just what I need, though I currently have the Kuro (TV) bolted to the top of mine!
I'd need some serious wall-mounts!
