Looking nice Alex

I can hear something though

Hold on let me pause this CD, aha i can hear clearly now, it's the TV

It says "move me"

Well i would anyway, stuff moving speakers about & having to accurately reposition them

Dont normally get excited about home furnishings Alex but that coffee table is a beauty. Why were you recommended to put it in the middle?

**Alex_UK** · 23-10-2010, 18:13

Thanks King & Mark... Yes, maybe I will try the TV in the middle - only issue is that the way the room is laid out it would make it harder to see in the sofa next to the hifi rack, but as we so rarely have people round watching telly it is not really an issue.

Colin - thanks - the coffee table was from Next, it is "solid" mango. The reason Dave suggested the move was so the speakers could be spaced further apart than they were - the right one was in the position it is now pretty much, with the left one adjacent to it and then the coffee table where it was in the original pictures - not really enough space between the two - if that makes sense?

Love to know how you keep the little 'un(-s) away from the speaker drivers...

Actually, she now helps me put the covers on if I forget! Bless! I have lost one woofer, but I'm not sure it was her - a tweeter was poked but came back out ok - that was before I put the grills on whenever she is around...

looks great Alex. Unless the TV can go on the wall or stand on the cabinet between the speakers, I'd just move the right speaker as necessary

**Alex_UK** · 23-10-2010, 20:08

Cheers Dave. Still pondering, it'll take me another year to do anything about it anyway!

Psssst Alex, you know that rather nice beige jacket with the special sleeves you got your daughter; well I need a couple for a pair of two year olds and one large size for a small adult. Any chance you could link me up (quietly of course) to the deviant shop you get the rest of your gear from

System looks fine mate

I eventually covered the speaker grills with 1/8 ply, painted them black and then got my daughter (in her twenties now thankfully) to spray a design on the fronts.
Still don’t know what to do about the cable at the back of the tea trolly/Hi Fi rack. Keep thinking about bearing the mains cable somewhere accessible and hoping one of the two year olds might take hold. Awww, don’t look so outraged, she’s got another

Sorry if I mislead you, the wife puts the straight jacket on me (if I ask nicely) to stop me ripping Avatar's fingers off for poking the speakers... I hadn't thoght of putting it on her! (On the Avatar, not the wife, I've lined her up with a nice pair of concrete boots and a long walk off a short pier...

)

I wish my Belkin mains conditioner was as compact as that. How many sockets does it have Alex? Had I known how massive and bulky the PF40 is, I would have gone for two PF30s which would probably occupy less space than the PF40.

It really is that big: I had intended locating it under the TV on its trolly, but it won't fit! It's about 2mm too high.

I'm going to have to "rethink my act Man".

Must say your layout (and room) looks remarkable neat and elegant. No doubt a woman's touch!

Regards
