Finally happy enough with the state of the flat to start taking photos so here are a coupe of the spare room (i.e. cinema) and then a load of the hifi.

The screen below was originally a floor standing screen, but with a little inventiveness i converted it to a hanging screen (by inventiveness read 2 shelf brackets from B&Q).

Sony BDP-S550
Onkyo 505
Xbox 360
Themescene H56
Some cables (which really need tidying up)
Dinosaur cushion (Gayle assures me its vital)





Hifi:
Rega P3-24 Colour
Moon CD1
Moon I1
Moon LP3
Pro-Ac Tablette Reference 8 Signatures

Comfy Listening position Smile











Only thing left to do is move the speakers a little further apart (currently around 6ft apart) and then get rid of the excess cable.

Thanks for looking Big Smile

Isn't there supposed to be a young woman reclining on the floor reading a magazine?

The praying mantis I can cope with, but the spiders, no way!!

Very good spider pics but, boy, my skin hasn't crawled this much for months. You're a brave man.

Nice system! I'd be inclined to get a bigger rack for the AV to hide to cables a little.

Thanks guys,
i agree on the av rack, but i think a dining table needs to take priority at the moment!

I'll possibly get a double of the one for the hifi.

Gayle thinks we should just get a little box and put the spare cable in it!

Hi Ed

Looks fantastic. I would probably stay up all night listening to that set up...........or would I stay up out of fear in case the spiders escaped?

It is better sound in this flat or the old one?

Re: Finished system in new flat

Much much better in this one. I wouldn't have believed that it would make that much difference, but no bay window and much less junk in the room has worked wonders.

You're welcome to have a listen one day.

Very smart Eddie. One room for hifi and another for av, I'm jealous of the space you have. Moon kit always looks good.
