Show me your setup!

[mrehorst]

I like to keep it simple:

Wiim Amp Ultra, Quad ESL-63, SVS 3000 Micro sub, and AT TT (rarely used).

In the bedroom I have a Wiim Amp Pro and a pair of Canton Ergo 22DC speakers:

and another system consisting of Advance Paris A12, Wiim Pro Plus streamer, and B&W 703 S3 speakers.

wow this is a gorgeous build. i have been wanting to build this kit for a while and my woodworking skills are the holdup. very nicely done.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun building the kit and they sound great.

My woodworking skills are nothing great but you don't need to be Bob Villa to build them: Zaph Audio SB12.3 build thread

My setup has had the same speakers, preamp, and main tube amps for many years, but I've continued to evolve it through refinements with configuration charges, tube rolling, parts, crossover, and power supply upgrades, along with basic tweaks and physical isolation. It's an old school 2.1 system that's bi-amped with tubes with an inline high pass filter on the midbass and tweeters, and solid state amp with active low pass crossover on the woofers. Recent component changes include adding a Linn LK140 amp on the woofers, and a DIY Hagerman Cornet 3 phono stage. It's not overly loud, but has an organic, textured harmonic richness, clarity, and dimensionality that sure floats my boat.

My current setup is pretty simple but I'm sure enjoying it. Listening mainly Tidal from laptop with Focusrite as a DAC.

Will be trying these subs from Velodyne when the time permits.

These are passive.

I noticed that the top of my dresser was beginning to sag under the weight, so I made some changes.

In the small room next door where I can rip the knob off if wanted. We use it for music outside when working, just open the doors and windows.

I had relegated my 9100 to the basement but I spent a few hours spinning CDs through it last night. Great amp through a pair of JBL 4311 control monitors!

My setup for this week. JBL L100t, L46, Dynaudio Audience 70, powered by Belles Signature preamp, OCM 200 amp. Bose 901 powered by Mitsubishi separates. The other side of the cabinet houses my Accuphase pair

Temporary rotation since Post #62 in this thread. The Allied 395 receiver back in "playing position," the Pioneer SX-626 just inserted in slot. Running very early (1968?) Realistic Optimus 1's (8-ohm) at this moment; sound very nice, but they ain't Beovox M75's

Looks nice, but why no carpet to absorb the 1st order reflection? My system was bright and boomy with my hardwood floors until I put a thick 8' x10' carpet carpet in front of the speakers.

For sure! There’s a rug about 4’ in front of them that didn’t make it in the pic. I have considered another runner just in front of them though. Thats good advice.

That is one sweet looking system. The speakers finish looks very nice. I would love to see Erin put them through some measurements though

Hello everyone, here are some pics of my current setup which is pretty much all Sony ES products which took some time to locate at good prices and in great shape. My next project is to get this Pioneer SX-1250 restored as it is in the rust shape but that's the fun in it as to getting it back to its original beauty.
