This is my current configuaration.  I reconfigured the rack so it would be lower and I moved the amp to the top.  After Tim posted pictures of his new amp, I couldn't stand it - the tube cage had to go.  I move the seat into position for listening sessions, otherwise it's off to the side.

The front end pieces are: Denon 2900 Multiformat player, Tascam DA20, Nak DR3 cassette deck
The preamp is CJ PV14L and amp is Premiere 11A with (currently) Svet 6550s
Speakers are Von Schweikert VR4JR
I'm using cardas and MIT330 shotgun ICs, MIT750+S2 to the monitors and taralabs TSII to the bass cabinets.
The sub is a vandersteen 2wq but I have not had it connected since I needed the cables to try bi wiring the mains.

The pictures are: shot from behind seating position, shot from the listening position, some pictures of the gear.

I designed and built it.   It's pretty straight forward.  About an afternoon in the woodshop and then as long as it takes to finish depending on how fancy you want to be.

Edit: forgot to answer this.  I modified the post with the pics

ok, not nearly as impressive as some, but what the hell...

this is the view from behind my couch (some would call it a listening spot :P)



this is a better view of the tv, sony 34" CRT HD Widescreen, below it is the samsung 360 D-TV box...complete POS..cant wait til DirectTV goes to MPEG4 and I can replace the box...and a VCR, which I have no idea why I have it down there still



Stereo Rack made by Plateau, got on UBid for $130...great buy imo...Sony 3000ES receiver, Samsung HD841 DVD (used primariliy for audio), and an older Sony DVD player (used for video), and Xbox/accessories...



JSE Inc. Speaker...JSE owned the patent to the infinite slope technology that Joseph Audio now owns and uses in their speakers...info on infinite slope here:

http://www.josephaudio.com/essay.islope.html



though I didnt take a picture of it, I have bose satellite rears for surround sound, all the speaker cables are canare, the analog interconnects are ixos and canare cables, and the digital connections are bettercables brand...

here is the amp - my (heavily) modded joLida 302a...

So how do you like the Jolida?  How much improvement did you get from the mods?

Well, if you could hear my system, you'd say "damn, those Klipsch have some harsh highs at loud volumes"!  - that's how I feel about them... I'm not really in the mood to purchase new speakers yet... wondering if there's a way to temper it with some warmer toobs or something...

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

Some acoustic treatment would really help.  PM me for a local source and DIY pics.

In my shots there are some free standing panels on the left wall.   They are a pine frame around compressed fiberglass panels covered with batting and burlap.   Small investment of work and they helped in my room. 

Even if you get the foam, you might consider making covered freestanding panels.  They are easy to move into position for critical listening and then you can put them aside to keep the rest of the household happy the rest of the time.
