So here is mine.  Quite minimal but I am pleased with it.  Ignore the fact the back is off the rack, I have got to cut out bigger holes as the amp is so deep.

Re: Here's my minimal system

Yes the amp is a Pioneer 2011.  I have been asking questions on here about what I might need to buy in order to improve on it.  I wondered if an Onk would be a sideways step and you have just answered that for me.  I guess the only thing that might be worth changing it for would be one of the Pioneers, a 71 or an 81. 

How did you find your 2011?  I think is is very fast at steering effects, incredibly clear for dialogue, but a little bright for music.  I wondered what the effect would be if I upgraded to a stand alone CD player as my Pioneer 757 DVD is my single source.  Or maybe I'll go  for the new Pio BluRay...

Small question of money first though...

Nope, no sub.  I sold my Keff eggs and sub to fund the Quads... It was a double edged upgrade because in putting the big Quads on the front, I put my little 11L Quads on the rear.

The front Quads go down really low so a sub is not a priority at the moment.
