    I'd get rid of that sofa between the speakers, that's not doing the sound any favours.

    Like most people I am limited with speaker placement and also what my wife deems acceptable. The sofa has to stay there as it cannot go elsewhere in the room. Losing it and putting a single chair there instead is not up for discussion. I have had other speakers forward next to the arms and it made very little difference. Where I sit to listen the centre of the drivers are in clear sight, so hopefully the sofa is not having too much effect.

    If you got rid of the sofa you could fill the empty space with yet more speakers, then your middle name really could be Al

    On a slight thread drift, if your friend cut up the remainder of his oak worktop he could sell the bits to people like me
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    I could fill the sofa space quite easily as I have two other pairs in the garage, maybe not pure hifi as such, and a pair JBLs. So I have enough for a surround sound system with the Yamaha sub.

    My friend is not the sort to be bothered with selling hifi bits unless it was worth his while. So I suppose as the SDOBS (super duper oak bespoke speaker platform) for the bees knees in speaker isolation and SQ enhancement £600 a pair sounds a good starting price.

    Let me have your required sizes and will advise delivery time.

    Al I just have a big storage room, a spare room.

    Forget the social harmony design, the sound fantastic irrespective of how they look, and I am sure you have plenty of amps to match with them perfectly

    Let me think

    A pair of Quad 63's in the utility room
    3 pairs in the hallway
    and 1 and a half bedrooms full along with the 7 pairs in the through lounge

    Yes I do need my head tested
