Fabulous. One source, active speakers, the way to go.
I remember even from the early eighties, We lived in the Rhineland they were and still are made in the Saarland. B&M are the pioneers in active speakers, closed cabinets, servo controlled drivers, DSP, D’Appolito etc etc they have done that as early as they could.
Never had a chance to listen to B&M’s, but we were reading reviews and stories in the “Audio” and “Stereoplay” magazines about them. Great brand. But budget restraints made my dad go for a great alternative went from the Taunus. Less sophisticated, passive but 40 years later still rocking Canton 12” closed cabinet bookshelves. They are most likely no comparison to the B&M’s but certainly Big Bang for the buck.
I so wished Canton would make a Heritage series reviving those 12” speakers again.
PS Audio P12 Made a big improvement of my system. But must live behind the wall 
Good work guys !
I assume the P12 feeds the AVM streamer/DAC/hybrid tube pre amp exclusively, or are your active B&M’s taking their power from it too?
B&Ms are also plugged into the P12.
Power load only 10%.
That’s impressive. I forgot since I looked the last time. Are they equipped with class D amplifiers or a mix like mid and high class A and low class D?
What is the load when you play them loud, I mean not crazy loud, but like concert hall loud?
I like that wall, is it brick (or “Bims”, Rheinland-Pfalz / Eifel typical very energy efficient bricks made from Vulcano ash) or wooden frame?
Ok, minor change. I moved the little Topping D50 DAC back to my headphone setup, and found a good deal on a DAC I’ve wanted to try for a long time: TEAC UD-501. It’s a few years old, and not the absolute newest technology, but it really sounds good. For $300 i figured it was pretty low risk.
Funny, it’s larger than I assumed it was. I thought it was about the size of a Mac Mini, but it’s quite a bit bigger. (It’s on the bottom of the stack of bits to the left of the amp/SACD player.)
I thought you were going to say you changed one of the photos in the background 
(do like the setup/system)
maybe I’ll do that at some point and we can make a little game of it
Fixed.
If it was for shoes I wouldn’t have spent $5 on the vibration absorbing feet.
My shoe rack has rubber feet too as to not scratch the hardwood.
OK all you skeptics … before and after the shoe rack.
One BJC CAT6a cable goes direct from the modem on the top to the Innuos server and the BJC CAT6a output from the server goes into the TPLink media converter (power by an iFi 9v low noise supply) and downstairs by 25m fibre optic, where it goes directly into my streamer. So no ethernet switching on the signal path.
There is an 8-port Netgear switch for general ethernet, including a 25m AudioQuest Pearl CAT7 for video distribution and wifi downstairs. The QNAP is not for audio.
Everything runs off an APC battery and surge protection unit.
Well played 
Wow! I need to do this too…
What’s that weird looking device on the bottom left?
Steven, I get a comfortably familiar feeling from the upper photo. The lower one seems aggressively sanitized 
Give it time …
