This is my new system after many years without anything
decent.  I mainly listen to classical
music, especially 15
th/16th century polyphony.


Marantz CD6004 / Marantz PM6004 / KEF Q500s / Chord
Chameleon / Chord Epic / AudioSerenity Spike Shoes / Lindy Mains Conditioner


Headphones next!

RE: Simple system

You need to put you photo's on flick-r or similer, i copy & paste but other forum members do it differently.

RE: Simple system

Upload photo to Flickr, photobucket or similar. Copy link that ends in .jpg. When posting here, click the tree icon and paste the link into the box that appears. Bingo, voila and hey presto.

RE: Simple system

A bit of a faff but I got there!  As you can see the room is wider than it is deep and is currently being reorganised.  There will be two more display cabinets in due course (I collect art deco china Smile ) and the sideboard at the left will be relocated elsewhere.

PS I used a wide-angle lens for the picture, hence the slight curvature.

RE: Simple system

Looks really classy. 

 

Also what's your surround set up, I'd definitely get rid of the fronts and use the big Kefs. You may not even worry about a centre.

RE: Simple system

It's a Sony STR-DB895D (I had to get down on hands and knees to see that!) that I got when I moved myself and my business to Birmingham.  I was too busy to spend any time investigating so I just went into a Sony-Centre and bought the tv and system in about 15 minutes flat.  Actually I think it sounds pretty good for film but it doesn't cut the mustard for music.  I may integrate it all as you suggest in due course.
