Its a fair old size my room,
but its more square shaped than yours?
The Elysians need a lot more space between them and the back wall, compared to my Evo's.
Think Conference room sized listening room ideally.
So a compromise was needed.
They WOULD work, but wouldnt be getting the full performance out them which, at the price, would be a bad idea.
Happy with my Evo's
especially wioth a few tweaks here and there. :)
Yes the longest dimension is 29 feet so that's helpful as the main node is down in the 20s so doesn't get excited.Quote:

Plus for any other use except hi-fi that's too big, not very cosy if you're just sat watching telly on a winter night.
Big thread over on Head-Fi about my CD Transport the Shanling ET3
A guy there was talking about sound changes as his ET3 broke in over time, saying it compares well to his Vinyl Setup?
Cool I thought..
I knew the Shanling didnt have that typical "digital" sound to it, it’s very open and transparent and does the timbre and realism thing very well.

and then I googled his record player...

Bloody Nora! :eek:
Certainly "good enough" for me, especially with latest Firmware update.
The guy commenting on the Shanling being able to differentiate between source material on such a revealing system speaks to its transparency, even in an uber high end setup.
Happy with that.
Will upgrade the i2s cable I use to connect it to my Dac with at some point, be good to max out what the Shanling can do knowing it can shine in a bonkers high end system.
Cool.
INCOMING...
Bit more of a 'serious' one this time.
A last hoorah for the digital setup.
Few weeks away, putting things in place and doing my research.
Keeping speakers and Vinyl setup as is, looking at maxing out my Digital.
Been enjoying file based music from the Shanling transports USB drive so much recently, decided to up my digital game, stick a fork in it and call it done.
More news as it breaks....

Design principles of these looks sound, and (most importantly :)) will look great against the piano black TT platform and plinth of the turntable
