System Pics 2024

Well it looks good. I keep thinking I should make one myself similar to that but I’m a danger to myself with power tools. :smiling_face_with_tear:

I do not think I have ever owned a system which does Bruckner 8 justice. This is why I invest in live concert instead. It’s the only way I can completely immerse in the music.

Which reading?

Bruckner 8, Concertgebouw orkest, Mehta.

I actually had issues before but reading this forum I became aware that ‘active leads’ exist. I bought them and since then I can do whatever my ears tolerate. It’s full control really. I don’t want to invest more in the Ovators though since e.g. more detail will get lost in my room.

You’ve triggered my going active plans for the sbls. I’ve tried the ibls active and that was a giant leap. Never thought ibls do bass …

ah. thanks. I do not think I have listened to that set.
Any good?

Are you going to this?

:laughing:
IBL is cool in a small study. Once I was thinking recreating Julian’s system ( P3/52/135 et all ) in my office space but ditched the idea when my dealer said Naim wanted 1600$/pr for a set of new drivers. :roll_eyes:

You could go a JV system by driving them with just a Nait 3. For certain music that works.

Nope. I really should get out more though. It’s years since I’ve been to a decent concert.

Regarding the recording, I heared in a podcast so I listened to this recording. Of all Bruckner symphonies the 8th is the one I know least.

I would like a higher specamp than a Nait 3 for IBL to get a decent bass. ( even in my small room )

I used a Nait 3R with a Supercap for number of years. Can’t drive ATC but perfecet for my Wilson WATT 6. What a capable little amp! I still have it! :heart:

love the calligraphy - any idea what it says?

Nope, I don’t live ‘in Bruges’, I live near Amerfoort - that’s a different country since 1830.

Your speakers look unusually nice for classic floor standers. What are they please? I can’t read the logo.

I could tell an episode about Thielemann that I witnessed personally. I will only say that he must be a horrible person for a number of reasons and that I hope not to see his face ever again on this forum. Why on Earth one should have a recording by this individual when Celbidache’s ones are available is beyond me. But each to his own.
Nobuko, nothing personal of course but I feel repulsion for him.

His profile says Spendor D7.2.

Thanks. I seem unable to find members’ profiles.

Touch on their icon or name. That usually reveals it if the member has added it. In some cases (mine, for instance) you need to follow up to expand it by clicking the name again once initially revealed, then clicking on ‘Expand’.
