A few pics of my lovely Russell K 120’s.
Naim system needs some work but sounds decent none the less.

Silver without a doubt in that set up especially with silver finished kit. Same with chrome bumper Naim, the silver uprights look spot on. :ok_hand:t5:

All IMO obviously. :wink:

Yes, I do like Faith very much (when in the right mood for it), although Seventeen Seconds is probably my favourite Cure album.

Those are my two favourites. Things got a little difficult with Pornography and I never loved them quite as much after that. Pornography and black uprights would be too much.

Thanks for the thought; they are already re-homed.

Maybe, a little, yes

They’re around 6 feet apart to the outer edges and I listen around 9 feet away so probably not perfect.

When listening the right hand speaker is moved over to the right but this puts it in danger of being knocked over by one of our boys charging in and out of the room to the right so having them this way when not listening prevents damage to either party

Not ideal and in time this may change but I find compromise part of family life nowadays and whilst a listening room or more time to sit, listen and relax would be good I’m enjoying the little tykes before they get fed up of spending time in my company…

Heard them sound very special on a demo in front of Supernait 3, Rega Aria and Rega P6.
I ended up buying the SN and Rega Aria to sit in front of my Rp6 and into Gurus, replacing Xs2 and stage line.

I’ll probably revisit the K120s for a home demo at some point.

Indeed it is.

The Node 2i works great on my system and my next plan for it would be adding a Chord Qutest (rather than moving to a Naim streamer). I am not a big streamer (other than portably where I use an AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt) or I’d be looking at an Auralic I think.

Listening to it now.
Good that I live on the ground floor :grinning:

Very nice Bob. I like the understated looks of the Rega and Hegel combo.

Looks fantastic! curtain matching wood. Legs matching deck and turntable. Turntable provides the transition to black matching rest of the equipment and Naim lights with the carpet. Perfect harmony.

Whats the component on the top shelf on the left?

The NHS wants it’s table back …

No she’s doing sterling work here keeping me sane!

The only thing I might change is the glass shelf on the Quadraspire TT shelf which I might change for a black wooden one.

2020 was a high growth year- TT, Linear Power Supplies, Custom Shelf Inserts, Isolation Platforms, Cable and Ethernet Upgrades and on an on.

Damn you Bevan I still miss those!! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This may reveal my insane furniture obsession but I believe that is an old skool Habitat AV rack, I actually think it looks cool!
