Seeing all these beautiful systems in wonderfully finished rooms makes me feel a bit hard done by:(

We are into an entire rebuild of our house here in France so many rooms have to be dual purpose at the moment.

We do tend to want music wherever we are so there are one or two systems scattered about.

Main music room has a bloody great table stuck in the middle, does wonders for the stereo image.
Stereo 20, 57s, Marantz CD63SE (whilst the PDS901 is being relasered), Creek passive pre and phono amps. Origin Live based TT.

Bed 1 has the wife's headbanger system in.
Pioneer A757, PD6300, F757 with JBL TLX16. If you look carefully, you can see some Celestion HF1300s peeking out from behind the plastic - absolutely transformed the speakers.

Bed 2 - Musical Fidelity A100 or Quad 34/306, Phillips CD R770 and my homemade HF1300 Mk2/Kef B200 hybrids. With choice of FM4 or Sugden tuners.

Digital stuff, Mac G5, Behringer DAC, Rogers Ravensbrook and Kef 101s.

Not exactly top of the range any of it but it makes music and works for us.

Looking forward to getting the lounge done though. 8 metres by 5 with a gallery going up to a 6 meter ceiling!! The 57s should sing in that.

About half way through the rebuild so lots of putting up still to do.

That silver box under the desk - is that your chair?

A great haul of equipment there Gordon.

It would be good to get down to you some time and maybe bring the OTL?

Hi Alan,

Not that far away!! Please feel free to slum any time you wish.

I wasn't allowed a sixth pic previously, so here is the shot down the 'music room'!!
