You have a lovely looking space like @terzinator with Harbeth, which I used up to December 2020 and which benefited with a subwoofer with some music, but subs would ruin his space. He has put in some colour-coded panels, although unless the speakers have no toe-in I would question their benefit. > [@System Photos!](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/system-photos/8910/5560): > > Current state of affairs in the main part of the house. At the beginning of the year I said “no more upgrades” and I’ve spent the equivalent of a nice used car since then. flushed Luxman L509X integrated Raspberry Pi and Pi2AES HAT running RoPieeeXL (homemade walnut case) Denafrips Pontus II … I2S connection from the Pi Onkyo SACD player (not used too often, but sounds pretty good into the Pontus) Thorens TD-124 with SME 3009 and Shure V15 Type IV (Using the Luxman’s phono stage. Perfect m… You then have the hardcore dedicated room approach of @RsZk. I don’t know how many people would have such a space available, probably the minority. It’s a matter of taste, no doubt many people could enjoy such a space, personally I could not. He’s gone to a lot of trouble to get it right, along with measurements. > [@System Photos!](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/system-photos/8910/5605): > > Been doing some selling and trading lately. Current setup is KEF R3’s. Not near enough bass/sub bass in my space. Lot’s of moving around to get the midbass supported properly as there is a null there. Ended up getting a pair of REL S812’s and that improved things dramatically. The KEF’s are an interim speaker, but I wanted to have the foundation set and the REL’s definitely do that well. Doing a lot of placement… If in theory I were to get subwoofers, it would be the same REL S/812 that @RsZk uses, but they would be horribly obtrusive and lots of wires. I suspect these two systems are good examples of the extremes of what people put in their homes. Enjoying music at home is as much about being comfortable in the listening space and the level of domestic compromise necessary. I suspect the reason why Harbeth speakers are so popular is because they tend to sound really good in most rooms without many set-up issues. I’d still have mine if my wife hadn’t hated the sight of them. I’ve always had to compromise with having cables all bunched up together, power and speaker cables. This seemed to cause some level of interference noise (I was using Sommer cables at the time). Subjectively Townshend cables eliminated that issue and I’ve not given it a second thought since. I’ve not posted a picture of my layout that I can link. I’ll do one later and it will be apparent that any subwoofer would be horribly obtrusive, let alone four. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/silversmith-audio-fidelium-cables/19873)._
