Hard to get a shot but this is what I have.
As I say it was Andy in Signals who set them up for me and I have not moved them a mm since then.
You can see from my stellar performance with my fraim why I am willing to pay for an expert to set them up for me!

Thanks. I wonder if my crossover cables are a shade too long. This is how they were when bought new in 2004. Maybe @Richard.Dane could comment
I think that goes to show with the right contrasting tones and offset colour (the plants), that all black gear and racking can in fact be elegant and soft.
Slight change from my initial post with the addition of a used Fraim base for the 552. Not the last word aesthetically, but it’s unleashed the quality of the 552 - taking it to an another level all together.
I’ll brace myself for the onslaught of suggestions
I thought you had an olive component of some sort Mike - gone ?
Yes, there is an olive SC (DR) sitting here in a box in my room waiting for the courier to take it to a new Naim home tomorrow, along with the 252.
Enjoying the 552 I’ll bet
It’s very immersive indeed.
Odd - it may be the way they are dressed, but they do look a tiny bit longer than usual. IIRC the cables were of a standard length cut on a jig, so not sure why it should be so. Maybe it’d down to the dressing? Perhaps try to manipulate them so you get a more even and shallower curve.
Well done on the build Mark. Looks great and I bet they sound amazing. What happened to the CNO build? You might find those Illuminators are enough.
Ok will check. Also the PXOs were not serviced. I will also ask about this since there is a mixture of electrolytics
The reflections were increasingly annoying as the volume went up, so I went for Plan B - turn the room around to match the ceiling and add furniture.
A new year, a renewed system since my last System Pics post.
I think a lot changed, gone from 272/250dr to this. Last week I wanted to trade in the 250 for a 300 for my end game, but then the new classics started, so I will see what happens first and I might revise that vision.
I can see a health and safety issue here
Really nicely taken photo’s.
Fair.
I have now got a white cat 5 Ethernet cable and a blue cat 6 cable. One or the other will go over the doorway to remove one death trap tomorrow. I hope the two sound the same so I can use the white one - we’ll see/ hear.
When I come back to Tas in November, my luggage will include 2 x 7m of Kudos KS-1 speaker cable so that they can go the same way and remove the second death trap- unless the cables get me now and make the next trip irrelevant.
I may also bring Isoacoustic Gaias.
Thank you!
