Speakers and room treatments is all one sees. The Ford Trimotor image is printed on fabric and has 2" of rock wool backing it. Not ideal being set off to one end of the long wall but it’s the space I have to work with. This shot is not from the prime seat.
In the front cabinet, BHK preamp and M700 monos, in the room behind the display houses a rack with P10, DS dac and streamer tucked in a climate controlled closet.
Speakers are Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 and Rythmik L12 dual subs.
Edit April 2021: Speakers, amp and dac have updated. ATC SMC11v2 with upgraded x-over components, M700 became BHK250 and DS dac became Holo Audio May dac. P10 power all of it on a dedicated 20a 10awg circuit.
Hi man. Thanks for the note!
Yes, i had the opportunity to have a Direct Stream in my system, in my own listening room for a full day. I was thrilled at what i heard. It was instant. And i knew right away i needed one!!
I’m using Hypex UcD-400 mono blocks in the form of Merrill Audio Thors, and totally love how they sound in my system but what you’re running is, I’m sure, a significant step up from mine.
I have managed to remain admirably calm about all the beautiful systems posted here, but your speaker setup was the first for which I felt the stirrings of envy!
@chrisj1948 - I am flattered, and much appreciate the complement. The room certainly came together in a way that appealed to me. I completely pushed my kids out of their play room to get it, something my wife frequently reminds me of. Fortunately they are old enough now where I don’t think they really need such a space - they and their friends now pretty much “own” the adjoining home theater room.
@Brodric - If you are ever in Michigan, you are welcome to it. As much as I love them, however, the amount of research, design, and engineering that went into your Magicos is not likely to be matched here. Your speakers are very enviable, and, frankly, I would LOVE to hear a pair of those someday.
I’m allergic to the cold, so I’d better plan on a summer audition! I’ve owned speakers with Accuton drivers and I was impressed. Be careful, if you blow one up the ceramic cones turn into shrapnel.
Pictures of my system. Combo 2 channel and Home theater with emphasis on 2 channel. Focal Scala V2 (right left and center) Anthem Marx 1130 for Atmos HT with ps audio M700 for center and Octave V80 SE and Octave Phonomodule for preamp and phono stages (mono and stereo). Stereo pair of REL S5’s for fronts, REL T7 for center and REL T7 for surrounds. Oppo 205 for blurays. PS audio, PWD, DSD, P10. Clear Audio innovation turntable with separate mono and stereo tone arms. Also super black box and black box for the octave pieces. All components sit on a pair of CriticalMass racks with access to the back from doors in the rear of the racks. Streaming with using Roon and nucleus through DSD and bridgeII sounding very close to vinyl. Sound in Atmos theater mode is quite impressive as well.
