More Pix

I think I have mastered this insert images at last !

Some more pix from http://community.whathifi.com/forums/t/501588.aspx

Added Sony S570 and PureAV PF30. New STAX 300 added in oak to match all our other furniture. My partner loves it too. We both appreciate the AV setup. Gonna do some hard listening now.

New STAX 300 added

I recon the Stax looks much better now.

Below older pix with my Optimum stand

Replacing with a STAX 300 unit - looks better I recon ..

Still wondering about cutting back out of unit to stop booming. Any advice?

Loving the wallpaper!

Our favourite Indian restaurant has recently put up some really 'in yer face' dark chocolate brown and white floral patterned flock wallpaper and I keep meaning to ask where they bought it. I am of an age where I don't care what is 'hip' and want at least one wall of unashamedly early 1970s flock retro and an Ercol sideboard!

Re: More Photos - Compromise Lounge - Home Cinema

Finished for now? Received a oak/black glas STAX 300 to replace my optimum stand (SuperFi recommended). Nice stand but I will use a couple of 3in cooling fans. (Quiet PC were very generous and helpful when I got one smoking. great company and very quiet fan). The enclosed stands benefit from a little cooling - works very well.

Pix later but oak stand looks nice now.

Merry Christmas all

(Bitearly maybe?)

Nice STAX 300. Quiet PC for a couple of cooling fans - really makes a difference. Really COOL !

Santa bought me a Harmony ONE remote. After many many hours - COOL !

Recon we need a separate thread for Harmony remotes.

Happy New Year folks

Cheers

Re: More Photos - Compromise Lounge - Home Cinema

Awww Benny ! Getting there. B*** - I thought I'd got there. Whats next to do then??

Seriously - can recommend SilentPC for very quiet fans to keep the electronics cool. And the Harmony One is brilliant. (First throw it hard against a brick wall cuz it dont work properly - and then set it up and enjoy a very neat unit making control of all your kit very straight forward).

And yes I love the STAX unit - probably not as Hi in the Fi stakes as my previous stand and the enclosed sides do need cooling - but looks nice now.

I recon I am very pleased now to settle back and enjoy some good music (SACD inc) and Blurays.

Cheers all

Mmmmmm - maybe if I just alter the .......

Re: More Photos - Compromise Lounge - Home Cinema

I am considering opening the back of my unit - its quite unit so dont want to hack it unneccesarily but ... If i removed the back behind the centre speaker would it make things better? I have bunged the port and I guess it does boom slightly but I cahnge the frequency response to cool this.

Is it worth my while ?

Cheers for any advice or comments.
