The bottom drivers are 1960’s wharfedales, the other two are Whiteley Stentorians from the late 50’s early 60’s and I don’t remember what the horns are at the moment.

I bought an eero 6 router on Black Friday sale and set it up as a wireless bridge, so that I could switch to Ethernet instead of WiFi for my Marantz M1. Like some sort of a miracle cure, my M1 no longer gets frozen or ceases working anymore. I used to have to reboot my M1 once or twice a day when connected over WiFi, but after switching to this, “fake wired,” setup, the reliability of my M1 has jumped to 100% up-time. I guess this basically proves that the WiFi radio in the M1 is trash, especially compared to its Ethernet port as well as the WiFi radio in the eero 6 router (wireless bridge in this use case, since this router is talking via WiFi to the main eero Pro gateway two rooms over).

No claims to any change in sound. The key thing is improved reliability, which you don’t even need ears to tell! As an added benefit, I get stronger WiFi for the rest of my wireless stuff both in the family room and also in my back yard, since this also acts as a wireless repeater for me greater eero mesh.

Well, I must say, both aesthetically and acoustically, you nailed it. You don’t get to see proper speaker placement and wall treatments very often, in my own limited space in the garage, it’s an impossibility.
Thank you for the kind words. It’s always a work in progress but it’s been fun so far.

Small space and I make of it the best I can, but I’m happy with it.

Sl-Ql15 with an AT132 wearing a VMN40ML feeding a Sansui 8080DB through an Art precision phono pre on the other side of the room and driving the Polk towers.

Quick, less artistic snap of all that:

That “stack” is in “harware mode” right now. Working out the shelf layout first and then the cable building begins. The big quad 8 track is just standing in as a place holder for the Wollensak 8075 thats on the way.

And a snap of ol’ “Big Suey”:

Great rig. Don’t miss the few extra wattage it gives up to its bigger brother (9090DB) at all.

“Big Suey” knocks it over the center feild fences just fine as it is.
