The fireplace and lack of space were at my dad's old house DanOriginally Posted by ledzep
I know how you feel about space and the speaker situation but yours looks very nice and tidy and the plants look good as well in amongst the hifi. Nice fire place by the way. All rather different now at my new place http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...491#post505491
Thanks Tim - it's a big change having a decent size room with not too much clutter. Sounds a bit too lively at the moment and there's excessive mid-bass. I've got some room treatment stuff which I'll play with once I get the chance, but after the effort of moving I just want to settle down to listening for a few days first...Looks like my kind of room Keith

Hi Keith,
Fab looking system and room - and great pics!
I agree with Tim in that it's also my type of room: 'warm & cosy' looking - very inviting with a nice 'vibe' (mainly thanks to the soft lighting). Glad the move went well and hope you have lots of happy times there

I must be blind... Where's the fireplace in the pics Keith posted?

Will add photo of Schiit Asgard headphone amp and Beyer Dynamic DT990 Pro 'phones later.
Are those Ikea Expedits http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60135299/ that you are using for record storage? If so how do the thinner shelves handle the weight of records?
