Pics ‘From the Listening Position’

Six months after moving home and in-between new ceilings, plastering, near enough rewiring and resolving some interesting plumbing bodges, I’m starting to get the listening room sorted out.

‘Sky Full of Stars’ provided a wonderful evening of tunes at Hall for Cornwall last night, a very enjoyable set of Coldplay songs which had everyone on their feet.

To paraphrase Morrisey’s comment at the end of “Desert Island Discs” when he was told he’d be given the bible to take to the island:

“Oh well. They are a best seller, I suppose….” :wink:

Now I need to get to work on the other half.

For all the detail you put in your other posts, (which admittedly, I don’t usually read) it is very ironic that you can’t actually tell us what we are looking at here, and instead you feel the need to turn it into a guessing game! :upside_down_face:

Hi Geoff,

I am just trying to lighten the mood.

Here is the corresponding before Christmas photo….

Half of the present is more room treatment, which are the two custom sized GIK Acoustics TriTraps added at the ceiling/wall interface above the screen panels covering the TV shown previously in the photo taken this AM.

Maybe it’s been answered before but is there a TV behind those panels? Is the tv holding them or how are they attached?

There is a relatively large TV behind the panels. The panels are GIK Acoustics 242 Art Panels. The clips I used for securing these panels to the top of the TV are by Hafele and are from the Keku series of cabinet fixings.

Here is the media room with the TV out in ‘movie’ mode.

PS: The electric mount is from Future Automation, a UK company specialising in such products.

Opening of the season at La Scala tonight.

And listening again to Prokofiev’s third piano concerto afterwards.

Beautiful calligraphy. Chinese?
Do you know the meaning?

Thank you! I love it.

It’s a Japanese calligraphy I have been told but unfortunately I don’t know it’s meaning.

When I search the clips I see cabinet door clips with screws for furniture. How is that attached to the TV? I don’t think you will use screws into your TV :joy:. And with those clips you can’t take the panel off as it screws into it. Sorry for all my questions and my ignorance but I really would like to make something similar as you have.

Hi @Hifi_Naim_CNNL , I think we have chatted about this before?

Luckily, I found our previous discussion from Feb2025….

However I think it might help if I add some detailed pictures?

The important consideration (apart from having a sufficiently thin television!) is to obtain the Keku/Pacofix clip variant WITHOUT the lip on the bottom of the clip. As shown in the detail below.
I think the UK part number is 262.49.350 or .351

In the back of my head I also remember we talked about it before but I couldn’t find it anymore. Thanks for clarifying and providing the detailed photo’s. It’s all clear now!

How do you manage it - there was a picture before. Is the TV going up or down?

Edit: read further. Wow … this a good idea. Perfect.

Discreet integration of the hi-fi setup into my living room, somewhat dominated by the vinyl record collection.
