Showcase your audio/video setup here!......

Thanks 😊 👍🏻

Forgot to mention my current chain in the previous pic......

Schiit Mimby -> Marantz PM8006 -> Wharfedale Diamond 240

Acoustic foam, lighting (made these DIY with LED strips and aluminium channels) all installed by me.

Next up.......Carpeting 😀
The room with the foam and the lighting looks really nice. I need to do something similar on my next vacations. Nothing effects the ambience of a space like lighting does :)
 
The final piece of the puzzle is now sorted! The HT system is kinda complete. My plan was to move on to a powered LCR - preferably Genelecs but they were just not "looking right" in the drawing room! So had to let go of the idea. Settled for the KEF LS50 Metas for the front 3, added an O&B amplifier, a REL 1003MKII sub - which is now wirelessly connected with the REL wireless kit! Currently all is groovy gravy, may add another REL at some point - purely for fun.

Just adding a note here - about O&B. I can be a difficult customer in terms of requirements - part of it comes from making my life simple, part of it comes from ignorance, part of it comes from aesthetic preferences. So I gave a fairly tall order to @adas. Highly customised chassis & functionality, specific cables & ports, etc etc... The list is endless. Aniket, was patient as we all have heard many a times & he was incredibly helpful.

His pains didn't end at just delivering the amp, that was just the beginning, setup involved a bunch of back and forth calls, I have setup many amps in my life, but when you have support at your beck & call, you tend to act spoilt, every little question, instead of google was directed at Aniket. & Yet again - he delivered!

I am not making tall claims here that the amp has made the sound ethereal & has changed my life, none of that, this is not an amp review. Just that there is a guy out there, from this very community, making products & delivering service, that we wish for in products costing many times more.

Kudos to O&B & @adas !!!

Cheers!
 
Added Ascend Acoustics Sierra LX speakers!

These replace my long time Monitor Audio BX5’s…
Aesthetically beautiful. However if I may interject - the speakers are too far away for their size. Imaging will collapse a bit and sound diffuse.

Bring them closer - anything more than 7-8 ft is really difficult unless speakers are massive.

Yep, will do. Currently they are around to 8 ft apart. Thank you!!!
 
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
