member system photos???

Hey.
I like my living room and I like my stereo.
I can't afford a special room and $60,000 speaker cables, dedicated power, cryoed wall plates, etc.

Sounds good enough the way it is and I spend very little time with my ears precisly in the sweet spot.

I guess I could drop a half million on a proper setup but then someone would be posting here that is all wrong!

Try living in a 900sf condo with a girlfriend who's big into interior design. My system is as well as possible given the decorating restraints, and it sounds pretty good to me.

One of our execs was gifted a system of Mark Levinson and Revel top of the line components as we do a lot of business with Harman International. He had one of the speakers pointed left, one pointed right so he could hear it around the house, had the levinson amp in a cabinet with no ventilation, and the preamp, transport, and DAC on a rickety antique table. It just shows that the system you have may not indicate the level of audio knowledge, thus you get the hodge podge systems.

Moving speakers even a fraction of an inch can make a difference in the sound, so I cannot understand how people can put them behind a chair or against the wall and expect good sound. There is always the WAF to deal with, but man, if you gotta put them on wheels and pull them out just for listening, that is still better than shoving them in a terrible spot.

the most amazing thing is the more esoteric and expensive the system is, the smaller the music collection is. i've been to audiophile's homes with music collections that would fit in the trunk of vw beetle. thats when this hobby takes on a creepy 'cry for help' tone.
