Notice the Michell deck (Orbe or Gyro?) plus p/supply, as well as that v.f.m. British valved amplification. What happens when someone wants to come in through the doors behind?

Not sure about the speakers in that narrow room, though.
Cat so far has kept away from the sofa.....
Yes - deck is the Orbe and I can't remember the last time we used the sliding doors to be honest.
As for the sound, I am very pleased with what I am hearing in the room - sure if it was slightly wider then the speakers could 'breathe' a bit bitter, but to my ears I am well happy.
Just going to change the rack for something else so expect another photo in a few weeks time (another DIY rack).
