Pics ‘From the Listening Position’

Very nice, but can I suggest putting that lamp a bit further into the corner, behind the table? I think that will look nicer, although perhaps if you use it as a reading light when in your chair it will be a bit less practical.

Lovely setup there, FZ. What are those speakers ?

Absolutely not. It would be far too close to both the picture and the wall light. A nice lamp needs space, not to be shoved in the corner.

In principle I agree, but it’s not really getting a lot of space between that table and the chair. Instead I feel it’s doing the reverse, it’s taking away space. It’s making the whole section look more cramped.

So I feel it would in general look more spacious if the space between the furniture was left open, but I appreciate we all have different tastes.

Let’s see a shot of your sitting room then. I could do with more design tips.

Look, I was just trying to helpful. Like me and a few others were earlier and you even thanked us for. I’m not sure why this particular advice suddenly warrants such a response, even if you don’t agree with it. As I said we all have different tastes, so just ignore any particular advice if you don’t like it.

If you want/care, you can see a shot of my living room in the system pictures thread, and in my speaker build thread as well.

I was really grateful for the earlier advice, but having sorted it out I don’t feel the need for more. Once the pictures are sorted out it will be fine.

Agreed, did appear to be an aggressive response.

Passive aggressive.

Rather interesting when the member who is most likely to give his “constructive criticism” on most design aspects posted on here, whether its’s asked for or not, can’t take some in return…

Let’s all join in, gang up, have a go. Pathetic.

As is both that & your initial reply to someone who was “just trying to help”.

I was always taught, don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

Agreed, there are lots of photos of member’s systems, including recent photos of lamps in a Hi-Fi setting. When I recently posted some, @HungryHalibut commented “Hmm, it’s pretty grim IMHO”.

I like looking at the photos as it’s very interesting and pleasing to see other members systems, some styles are to my taste, others not. Likewise, my style isn’t to everyone’s taste and I appreciate that, but that’s the nice thing about it as we all have different tastes.

I would certainly not respond as above even if it wasn’t my cup of tea, as that would be outright rude.

Now, as you’ve mentioned, that member becomes ‘passive’ aggressive with the slightest negative comment.

Just move on and enjoy our hobby without believing that your style / thoughts are always correct.

Now back to the Jazz.
