It looks quite large in the pics👍

Yesno. The structure is, but really it is a normal/modest two storey house on top of a couple garages. Just too much snow here to park in the drive.

Wow - what an impressive System. And nice to see another Vienna Acoustics user here. I have „only“ VA Haydn in a smaller System, but I think it is a good match with Naim. Enjoy!

No idea what they sound like but they look great.

thanks, it was a lively room before. The panels made a big difference (the rear wall is all panels) as do the rugs and soft furnishings, wool rugs are great as they can easily be moved around. but the Gaia isolation pods under the speakers and the TT made the most difference in taming the room.

I started with Mozart Grand SE speakers and moved up to these when I found a used pair for a great price. I really like the VA house sound that I think all their speakers have.

Explain to Mrs FZ that the energy in sound waves will help dry the laundry.

I would be more concerned as to where the moisture from the washing was going.

I wonder if @robpearson will share what it was for. Ah, outstanding art direction, 2002. Fantastic.

Outstanding and warm room too. One of the “best” here.

It’s not ideal speaker placement but the Orangery gives the best view across the fields beyond the garden when listening to some cool jazz. There are other rooms with potentially better speaker positions but none have a view with a setting sun available. Surprisingly toed in to be practically near field it all actually works pretty well sonically.
