Quite fitting that their display board features an inverted cross to celebrate the unholy alliance.

Please accept this in the spirit it is intended.

Your lounge looks carefully & tastefully decorated to the point of matching your TT colours to your paintings.

To my eye, all your efforts are wasted. All I see in the pictures you have posted of your system are the speaker leads randomly dangling from your speakers through your open frame stands.

Have some pride man! Tape the leads to one of the rear legs of the frame with black or clear tape. Concealing the leads would complete an otherwise very neat/tidy installation.

My eyes would thank you for it!

Hmm, we don’t have a lounge, we have a sitting room. Lounges are found in hotels and airports.

I like my dangly wires and have no intention of taping them to anything. The speakers sit on small carbon fibre pads as part of the stand design. Taping the wires would to some degree obviate that isolation.

Well, each to their own but I find hidden leads improve the SQ, just as a clean car drives better than when it’s dirty!

I’m waiting for the Hutter to come back :smiley:

Some Hutter.

Yes I know the chest should move. It’s the subject of ongoing discussions.

Same situation. I moved the system to the short side of the room having a clear improvement. Now everything is temporary,tre rack too, i’m looking for an isoblue. I have to furnish the wall with some shelves and some paintings.

What are those stands with your Falcons?

Doors and radiators limit my options for moving things round. And tv sound comes from the stereo. Moving that would be hard.

I may bring the chest out to see how big a difference it makes.

Lots of soft furnishings help with the sound. And ultimately it’s a room to live in including watching tv

Nice system. I really enjoyed my CDX when I had it.

Could you squeeze in a Hicap?

The sofa seems just as much of an issue as the chest. Speakers sound so much better with a bit of air around them. Getting the right balance between best sound and liveability can certainly be a challenge.

There’s few feet between the end of the sofa and the SBL. The picture foreshortens it a bit. But it’s a fair point.

These speakers are frightening :scream:

Maybe you could get the speakers on the long wall, opposite the sofa instead, so long as the wall is solid of course. Firing down the room can lead to a rather tunnely sound.

Looming over you. “Enjoy the music!”

A picture on the Naim FB page shows the whole Fraim, that box is an ND555, there is a level below that with the 555PS.
