Looks gorgeous.

Have split the two subs and put them back in stereo mode with one in each system.

Wanted to see how it goes in the cabin hanging off the Technics.

Sounding pretty impressive.

Thank you Adam.

Stunning speaker Daniel.
SFs are still my (old) love after decades of ownership at the end of Naim systems. I had the original Electa’s, the Amator II and the Guarneri Memento’s. :ok_hand:t2: :ok_hand:t2: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hi @gav_sw20 . Is that Kudos crossover just a wish or have Kudos said something about this off the record?

Stands updated and carpet added. No other changes necessary.

Need another shelf for turntable

Nice to see the sun in the morning but it does show up the dust :roll_eyes:

Waiting on some Witch Hat Morganas to arrive so will put off a full strip down and deep clean until they arrive.

Nice system.

However, you can get leg extensions to make a deeper shelf to put the NAP 250 on. Ideally the NAC pre-amp should be on the top with the items with transformers underneath. Start with the biggest transformer at the bottom and work upwards getting smaller.

DG…


System back in place. :grin:

Nice Marco,
Those SBLs look great
Why the slabs under the SBLs
Isn’t it better without them or is it a suspended wooden floor?

Very appealing combo of components - I bet it sounds the business.

Over tha last few evenings I made a stand for the Genesis amplifier using an IKEA bamboo board and oak strips that incorporate the speaker terminals.

The power supply has arrived: it is more than up to the job of powering the amp and bridging the remote turn-on (see the little blue wire) works brilliantly. A very neat and easy way of utilising a car amplifier and all its crossover settings within the home.

The front channels of the Genesis are running the woofers in stereo (low passed circa 170hz) while the rears are bridged mono into the Bianco low passed at about 80hz. I’m currently fine tuning the gains.

Early impressions are that things are considerably more cohesive, linear, textured and full than when using the little Chinese amps to power the bass drivers - English made class A/B gels much better with Arcam than Chinese Class D.

The amp is clearly more powerful but also more 3 dimensional. Vocals are also higher in the sound stage.

TBH, unless one runs a car as refined as a Jag or Rolls Royce this amplifier seems a bit of a waste in an automobile.

Fantastic! I’m going to read about car hifi in domestic setting more. I’ve a pair ibls which might work wonders with such an amp.
