small audio/video system for elderly space

made a choice......i am able to get my hands on a arcam solo, new in box, locally in n.c. very reasonable and a pair of era wall units with sub from era... with my squeezebox and apple 26in screen and apple tv..i am set i believe. the squeezebox is going to be turned into a duet by logitech and was able to find a silver arcam solo with my white apple and it looks fine on a lower wall shelve that my buddy fixed below the screen...it all is rather slinder in looks ,arcam,apple tv, dtv rec.,sets about four feet off the floor on two mounted wall shelves with electrical plugs in wall behind the shelves and he fixed it so the shelves in on a wall looking unit so the wiring could be behind the wall, everything is clean and no wires will show....i am going to get the light wood from era, i am extremely excited to get it up and going in the next day or so.....i bought me a stressless chair and sofa for listening...so i may never leave the room....right....but thanks for all the help....i could not wait anylonger and the arcam came up from an associate reasonable , the era just blew me away when i heard the clarity and seemless sound with the sub......it was a hard choice, i really wanted the naim unit...i know what they can do...and wanted floorstanders but don't really have the room.... when all is up and running ,finished i will send pic. to all that helped me....thanks again for all the help from everyone..and knownothing, thanks for all your effort, i can tell you really enjoy the hobby and have a great understanding of equipment manufacturing co. and set up of equipment ....it was an effort for you to do the research and i appreciate it, this is what makes this site so enjoyable for the last 6 years and over 40 sells and buys by me, check my feedback, also i just may be through with the whole hobby thing with this system set up. i have been enjoying equipment since the fifties with my first marantz tube equipemnt and advent speakers, garrad turntable and teac reel to reel...then through mcintosh,ads,threshold, audioresearch,cary,cayin,linn,vandersteen,ads,totem,linn,now with squeezebox duet,apple,era,arcam...i could not have had a better experience, the one company i always wanted to own was wilson sophia speakers, but i don't think that will ever happen....and the magnapan speakers i loved but my wife did.='t care for in the living room at the time ...dwhitt

Dwhitt,

Sounds like you made an excellent choice. ENJOY!

Dwhitt,

Would be interested in system review and pics once you get settled.

yes, i will.....the unit will be finished i 30 days and move in happens.... you have a good enough interest that you can picture this.....the room is 11 X 12....the floors are heavy carpet, short pile..., on the wall in the center, not too high, eye level is the 32in sony lcd.changed from apple..., no wires too show, behind wall...using ps socket , with separate electric circuit for all equipment...all walls are covered with block aid , a sound control in a roll. directly below the lcd on the floor is the 10in. era sub. , again plugged into a floor circuit not to be seen. beside the lcd , because the era speakers are a bit to tall, we will make sure of the alignment for visual ....i will be mounting the nad two in a closet type inset that will hold the electronics, nad,logitech duet for internet radio and an opus no. 3 hard drive for my cd collection. i have purchased four stressless chairs for viewing and listening....i have heard the set up and don't , i believe need a center channel...i will send pics when finished in about a month to 5 weeks...thanks for the interest...it will be fun and interesting with the sound barrier and simple two ch.with sub. i mostly listen to music, but the other will be fine for my viewing...dwhitt
