I have my whole room too but it’s so tiny, only 3.4x2.75 meters. This shot was taken outside the room at balcony.

@Bandit is that CD5/flatcap with 72/hc/140 into Tab 10s?

My recollection is 72/hc/140 into Tab 10s was a great great match

Your system is the “history of Naim” system - a nice combination of all 3 generations as I’ve mentioned before! :slight_smile:

Still one of the best mixed generation systems out there.

Nice one - I used to be in the basement too, but when I divorced I’ve changed house and upgraded to the living room :slight_smile: (that was 20+ years ago before anyone is tempted to say sorry).

If you ever decide to change speakers, may I humbly suggest that you consider Magnepans? They are ideal for low ceiling rooms due to their cylindrical dispersion patterns (vs spherical for cone speakers that can end up overloading a low ceiling room). I used to have the MG3.5s in my basement and they sounded amazing. Despite having a pair of very expensive Magicos driven by even more expensive electronics, there was something magical about the Maggies being driven by the Jadis Defy-7. Sure, current system is better is most areas, but the previous combo did things that the current system can’t do.
I would probably go for the Maggies MG30, if it wasn’t for the (not so recent) wife.

Thanks very much. It was built on the platform of an 82, hicap and 250 and things went from there a few years ago.

Need to get a lightning to female USB to connect to an iPhone and then plug in the Dragonfly and then the headphones.

Fine for at home but when out and about I use my Flare Pro 2HDs and their Bluetooth DAC.

The DragonFly is very special. Mine travels a lot, always works, sounds superb.

Just an observation, but surely the turntable wallstand should line up with the left hand FRAIM stack??

Yes, they are cd5xs/flatcap xs with 72/hc/140 into tab 10 signature to be exact :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I agree - especially the tab 10s don’t cause boomy bass in this small room

Tis now, they should have been more serious 3 weeks ago and we may have been over it by now. More time to listen to some music isn’t that bad though :wink:

Only 6 more weeks to go ha :crazy_face:
