Please find my introduction of my system.

HiFi
Yamaha RX-497 (2ch. stereo receiver)
Yamaha CDX-397 (cd-player)
KEF Q5 (floorstanding speakers, spiked)
DAP interconnects
Inakustik silver 2x2,5mm (speaker cable)

Sharp LCD 42xl2e

Background
I purchased this setup in 2007.

Room size
4,25m1 width x 2,7m1 hight x 7,8m1
sitting position form speakers aprox. 4m1 on sofa

What do you think of my setup? please share your thoughts.

Would i benefit in soundquality, if i replace my speakers to bookshelves, Dali Zensor1 / Lekor1 / MA BX2 and place them on the TV cupboard? (reason small children knocking the floor of standmounters down)

How can i insert a picture, (file browsing disabled in the URL browser??)

Looks good. I have been advised standmounts but prefer floor. My old chestnut again ... some modest room treatment would work wonders
