Are those all external hard drives on the bottom shelf? I’m guessing they’re for movies and music, right? Or is your music library just absolutely massive?
Great looking system, by the way. The Stellar stack worked wonderfully with the Triton’s we showed at Axpona last year.

Hi Paul,
The Tube amp is on the left and the power supply is on the right. It’s a WOO Audio WA5-LE headphone amp. I’m in good company, Elk has the same headphone amp. I use it to drive Focal Utopia headphones.

Thanks Schroedster! The Tritons do go well with the Stellars
Yes, most of the HDD’S are for movies. I am guessing all that vibrations from the HDD’s can’t be to good for the sound quality… I should relocate them
Well Brodric, all I can say is that you are as sharp as a bloody tack!
And Yes, I can agree with you that the picture I posted only has the right speaker in the frame.
No doubt about it, there are no flies on you!
Fair dimkum there cobber especially for a Bogan!
And all the more so in that you are at the end of the earth way down under on the left side, which is all the more remarkable.
Good luck mate!
Oh and BTW, to put your mind and eyes to rest, I am including the Left Speaker so you don’t get your Nickers in a twist.
I hope that chills you out…
Cheers mate!
Hooroo…

Here are pics of main listening room system and L/R system. Speakers are Reference 3A Grand Veenas and Veenas in L/R. Subs are from an old Wisdom system with active crossover. Power cords are Purist Audio and Nordost. A P10 powers the main system with no sweat on a dedicated line. It’s a curious system, mostly bought used. No wife approval needed.

That’s good. I was worried for a second that some insolent bogan had nicked ye other speaker without anybody knowing. Very considerate of you to leave some cushions on top of it for the cat.

What is the distance between the speakers? And the distance to your listening position? Thanks.

Before doing DIY, look into GIK Acoustics, prices are very reasonable. I have several their pieces.
These Dynaudio are crazy good speakers. Congrats! And: you toed them OUT? Pictures please!
Haha not OUT out, just out from their toed in starting point. They’re closer to head on now. I’ll update with another pic soon. Definitely loving the Dyn’s so far.

Roughly 8’ between the speakers and roughly 8.5’ to the listening position. I’ve adjusted them quite a bit over time. Moving the equipment to the short wall will give me real walls next to both speakers but might cut down on the distances between the speakers and the listening spot.
Re the diffuser panels - I have a large amount of air-dried hardwood sitting in my shop. We harvested the wood from dying trees in our back yard. Using hardwood is overkill compared to using the Acoustic Fields plans’ suggested plywood but it is free - and will look a lot nicer. Using the plans I can make the same diffusers they sell for $900 to 3,500. I just need to get past some health issues before getting back to using my equipment. Not working right now (health again) so I need to make due without spending .

Nothing wrong with some mess as long as it doesn’t interfere with you enjoying the system!
Thoughts on the T/Zero? I’ve always had one in the back of my mind for a subwoofer option since I’m in an apartment.
Looks like the Vulcan? Rack that I need for my turntable room. The Stellar stuff looks better on it being full width. I use a Sprout100 so I may need to center it on the second shelf.

Just a thought: since you have big open space to the left side of your left speaker, I was wondering the benefits of having an absorption panel there, have you tried to have both your absorption panels on the right side of your right speaker? maybe one at the first reflection point, the second at the second reflection point? or maybe put one straddle the front right corner for bass absorption?

Wow. Very pro including the photos!
Love the beer and the gear
Moving them would also let you unstack the M700s it looks like. Mr Deutsch of Stereophile got a noticeable improvement in his system by unstacking them, though I can’t say I’ve made the comparison myself.
