It has been great. I put it together over the last couple of months. The sound is great in my small basement room (12ftx12ft). I was able to find all the components used so it kept the cost down.
I didn’t realize what I was missing in the music I listen to. Really the imaging was probably the biggest surprise. The clarity and lack of grit has been fantastic as well.
Currently using a Mac Mini running my Roon Core. I also have a Sony Bluray player for CD’s but I am in the process of ripping my CD’s. I would like to get a turntable but that will probably be in the future.
The speakers are Sonus faber Venere 1.5’s, and are bolted to the matching stands. The white quartz slabs under them I had custom made. They’re 1.5" thick and weigh close to 20 lbs each.
I love that lamp. I just recently got that and it works like a charm!

I also agree its nice to see other’s kit and how it is displayed.
So here is mine.
The speakers are Von Schwilkert VR-2’s with MasterBuilt by-wire speaker cable.
Yeah, it took me a while to rip my thousand CDs. But somehow I even liked that process. Feeding the machine… Do you use the mini also as Roon endpoint?
