Here's my pics.   I seldom sit in the sweet spot and critically listen - my system is more trying to fill the house with music.   When I do sit in the sweet spot, I throw down the bean bag and sit on the floor - I read once that people often sit too high - when I sit on the bean bag it makes a big difference.

Also in the system is a Phillips POS cd player, but I rarely ever use it now that I have a squeezebox.  My wife uses it more than I do, as she's won't use the sb3, and likes to listen to cds.

My room is very long and thin.   WAF is a serious concern.   There are many audiophile no-no's in my room, but they are for WAF purposes.  Thanks for viewing.

This is entering the room from the hallway:



Always keep the doors closed when not in use.  The cabinet is the model Benno from Ikea.   $99.   Remote works through the smoked glass, but its near impossible to read the squeezebox.   I usually open them when listening for ventilation anyways.



Doors open



Musical Fidelity A220 Class A Integrated Amp:



Stock Squeezebox w/ IXOS interconnects.  Squeezebox is an incredible device.



Klipsch Heresy II and Velodyne VLF510.  Left side.



Klipsch Heresy II - Right side.   Doghouse silver speaker cables.



90lbs of Shaggy in the sweet spot:


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.

New gear = new pics.  It's been a long wait on the new gear (still waiting on the new tube pre), but well worth it.  Feels good to have a clean front stage!

System:
Speakers- Rocket RS750/RSC200/RS250
Sub- SVS PCi 22-31  (possibly FS)
Universal DVD- Onkyo SP1000
Receiver- Marantz SR7200 (just using it as a volume control since universal is doing all decoding)
2 channel pre- Odyssey Candela (tubes!)  on the way next week
Amp (2 channel)- Odyssey Stratos Extreme Sig Ed.
Amp (mono center)- Odyssey Khartago mono Extreme
Universal DVD- Onkyo SP1000
Turntable- Rega P3 w/ Elys2 cart.
Phono Pre- Cambridge Audio Azur 640P  (thanks for the suggestion Carl)
Power Strip/Surge/Filtering- PS Audio Quintet
IC's- VH Audio cryo Pulsar w/ silver Eichmann Bullet's
Speaker Cable- DIY Canare w/ WBT locking banana's  (taking suggestions here)

Projector- Infocus Screenplay 7205
Screen- Carada 106"

Either moving to new Danny Richie XO's for front speakers or new speakers all together.

Khartago Mono
Stratos
Amps
SP1000 & SR7200
Rega
PS Audio

Will probably still go with them, but want to get the system broken in so I know how they change the sound.  I've had the Canare for years, I just cut it down from 30' to 6' runs and added techflex.

I gotcha...thought you ditched them already.  It is hollow to say that I like the cables given the fact that I dont have a reference for comparison in this system, but I like them and have bought another short run for my center channel :P

Finally got around to taking some pics.  System is

Arcam AVR300
Denon 2900
Audio Magic ICs from Denon to Arcam
Audio Magic Stealth Mini
Von Schweikert LCR-15
Von Schweikert VR-2s
Anticables Speaker Cables
Rega Fono Pre
Rega P1
Ixos ICs from Fono Pre to Arcam
Nitty Gritty Record Doctor Record Cleaning Machine

Just got the turntable in last week and I got a sweet deal on the Record Doctor off of Craiglist.  Extremely happy with the setup.  Really only areas I can see in the near term are some rear surrounds (likely b&w minis) and the glass platter upgrage to the P1.

Nice!   I really need to get a big TV before finals.

That game on the screen had our house happy - I think I'll send Jagr a sleeve of golfballs for his long summer.  :D

I was hoping that they would knock out the sabres...well, just because....and as much as it pains me to do this...I am pulling for the Sens :P

I'm for the Sens too.  I haven't cared either way about Buffalo since Hasek left but Amy likes them and I really dislike Jagr.  So the win today was great.  The next round is going to be sweet.

I dislike Lindy with a passion and honestly I am not sure there is a fan base I would rather see continue to suffer more than the sabres fans

Can't the losers win every once in awhile?
