… and it’s a NAP250DR…

I would put the nap on the floor. The space looks big enough. When I had my nap and Nac stacked it sounded good but when I put the nap on the floor it sounded much better.

The room is circa 9.5’ wide and 16.5’ long, the speakers sound great but I am constrained in the house for space to locate them elsewhere. It was a concern of mine putting a large speaker into the area that I have but unfortunately I don’t have large square rooms to locate elsewhere. When I move I need to get a larger house to locate the kit lol.

I did hear the Sopra No.1’s after I purchased the No.3’s and was very impressed with their sound given their size and could easily have gone down that route and would have been happy.

I love the way you’ve put your album covers on the wall! Where did you get the white unit from? Thanks :+1:

Thanks DJM. The unit is just from Ikea with legs added for levelling adjustment and to allow speaker cable lengths to be “snaked” neatly underneath.

Now you have to discover where to plug it in, and where on the rack to put it.

“Atacama Resonance Control (ARC) glass is a specially made laminated glass that has a dampening core that is over 50% thicker than standard”. Very heavy now, and especially with the granite plinths ontop, but works superb.

I have a Nova on an Atacama tv stand. Very noticeable improvement in sound quality when I used Quadraspire Reference isolation feet.

Simply awesome! Wonderful decision, you will have a large grin on your face with the memories of your girls in the pool while your listening to your Hi-Fi system years from now.

Thanks guys. My girls are young enough to get several years of enjoyment out a pool. Qute/X14 sounds very nice. I get no less enjoyment from the music with this setup compared to 272/XPSDR/250dr/Contour 30 setup. Kind of shocked honestly just how nice the lower end system holds up to the big rig.
