Wall of Sound

I've been wanting to do this for a little while.

Over the years, I have had many listening sessions, mostly in my living room/dining room but sometimes in my family room. I've always taken pictures, but most of them were on a different computer, and today, I consolidated some of them

This is a thread for people to share their walls of sound. In some cases, it might be semi permanent. In some cases, like mine, it is very transitory. But it is a great way to see some cool gear together.

I used to really enjoy setting equipment up on my dining room table. It was a sturdy solid oak table. Massive, and as a result, it took me forever to sell it. But it has a long and honoured history holding up speakers and gear.

I'm hoping people will post their own walls of sound, in whatever way you want. I was going to say there had to be multiple pairs of speakers, but I realized there were a few of my pictures that don't have more than one pair. So, post whatever of your gear you want, but try to stay with the theme over all.

In my case, many of these walls of sound were on a Saturday date night with my future wife. We would go out to dinner or cook in, and crack open a bottle of Friexenet or two depending on how the night was going. I'll start off with 10 pictures but I do have quite a few. So depending on the lifespan and enthusiasm for this thread, I might just get to all of them.

So without further ado, let me introduce you to date night!

The Delta/Gammas were phenomenal, but I sadly sold them back to an inmate.

These are not the same JBL 590s as in the previous pic, I returned those, and had sellers remorse, so bought another pair. Sadly, they have been upstaged by the 3.7i, so they languish in my spare room. I'll post my wall o speakers in there in another post....

I may have a problem.

While not really a wall of sound, a pair of stacked Polk 10’s driven with a few hundred watts still sound pretty impressive I like to mess around and try new setups when the wife is out of town.IMG_20220222_205340271.jpeg

Currently working on building a nice accessible rack in the garage where I will house 8-10 vintage receivers/integrateds and amp/preamp combos along with a couple of switch boxes. I will be able to select from any of 10-12 pairs of vintage speakers with a minimum or cabling changes. Overkill? You bet.

The Acoustat Model 8 electrostatic speaker system, was just about a wall of sound, all by itself.

Just shy of eight feet tall, and three feet wide, each.

I knew of one person who at one point, had four of them, side by side. The two outer systems were run normally (full range), but the inner ones were configured for all-bass, as subwoofers. Eight feet tall and just over 12 feet wide of actual radiating area, total. If that's not a wall of sound, i don't know what would be.

Regards,
Gordon.
