Pics of your listening space

[Redtail]

The whole top of that cabinet is cut out under the turntable - there's a good 3" of airspace over the vents on the top of the marantz. I also have an exhaust fan on the other side of the cabinet that you can't see in these pics. I mounted a thermocouple ontop of the heatsinks in the amp and they never get above 85 degrees - even on the hottest days here, so the Marantz is fine, don't worry about it. I'm drawing plans up for a gear bench so that cabinet will be gone soon anyway.

The A/D/S/ speakers sound great Onepixel! My brother is really excited that they came into his life - they're a nice match with the Marantz sound. He will be getting a technics SL-1700 MKI to go with the 2275 and the L-570 at the end of the week.

The 1350 is a lot of fun. Mine was missing the original shorty spindle, but had the rare stacking spindle, so I made a shorty out of some steel rod. It works well as a substitute untill I can find an original.

Here's an updated picture with the Thiel CS 1.2 and my brothers ADS L-570. One of the tweeters is out at Thiel for refurb ($40) so the ADS are pulling main duty 'till I get it back.

The placement of those Thiels is not even near ideal. I'm sure they were not designed to be jammed up against the back wall and behind the plane of the other speakers but out, away from the wall and with nothing ahead of the front baffle. Just a friendly suggestion.

Update:

Thiel just called - they'll cover the tweeter repair (including shipping) under warantee even though I'm not the original owner! :thmbsp: Talk about fast too - they received the tweeter today at 10:00am and had the problem fixed by noon. awsome.

Thanks for the suggestion about placement Glen, but they are just sitting there for now, not hooked up. When I get the tweeter back in, the ADS will be removed from that room and I'll position the Thiels correctly according to their instructions and my ear.

Thiels are very transparent and vintage receivers, such as that Marantz, aren't! Give the Thiels some seperates!

Good point.

I have my CS1.2s about a foot from the wall. I think Thiels suggests about 2 feet and keep crap away from the sides too. Which is kinda hard with limited space. But does make a difference.

Download the user guide for more specific info. Cool that Thiel are fixing you tweeters at no cost! Great speakers from a great company!

3.Garage/Bench setup. This is what gets used most. Maybe I should move the nicer stuff out there.....

I used to have that same tv. Sold it to my best friend this year and bought a plasma.

My wife got a new house...I got a new room that needs to be gutted from the ground up. It was a converted garage being used as a home business. I ain't complaining though.

DogOFDoom,

Looks like a real fun listening room, great speaker collection! Cool, comfy, coma inducing chair/ottoman, I have one in orange-brown.

 

[gogofast]

this looks about right.....more than enough speakers to build a stadium sound system...comfy chairs, and a cordless drill :thmbsp:

I just moved into a new space and am still getting used to bouncier floors and a closer listening position (12 ft. vs. 18ft.) but there is no traffic noise, big plus.
Any way I'd like to see shots of peoples listening rooms. floors walls ceilings the chair or couch included if possible. Here's one.

Is that Modern gear you have! Heresey I say!

Okay, That hear might be nice..

 

[RaymondLeggs]

Did someone say "Reel to Reel?"

The livingroom rack:

2 Otari MX5050 decks. The rackmounted one is quad.

The front view with the Pipedreams:

There can NEVER be too many drivers I guess!

Let's try it...

Nice speakers

You can NEVER have too many DVD's and I thought I had a lot

 

[Art K.]

I have over 500 titles on DVD and my wife has another 200+.

 

[Art K.]

DOD, very cool stuff. Lots of speakers gotta love it!

 

[Axcel]

All my systems

Thought I'd post all my setups from main ( again) to front room to florida room to the old bedroom of ya garage too.

 

[RaymondLeggs]

My Nikon is on the fritz... so until it's fixed, this will have to do.
I am in High school and this is my bedroom.
The first pic is of my current stereo. Needs new turntable and new receviers.
Speakers, from bottom:
Sansui S-45G's (connected to front channels of Sansui QRX-3500
JBL 4311's: My main speakers. Hooked up to Pioneer SX-780
Acoustic research AR-4x's.
baby Advents Series 1's
the second pic I put my camera in front of the left JBL woofer and snapped a pic. yes, I need to re-hang the indian blanket, and yes it is handmade my Indians in Arizona or thereabouts 30+ years ago.

You can NEVER have too many speakers!

Now If I can find some 5.5 inch Coaxial drivers to put into those old soundesign cabinets....

You should play "Florida Room" from Donald Fagen on the album "Kamakiriad".
