Audiophiles hifi appreciation thread old and new

frame

If the frame isn't too big it's an easy DIY job. Because the whole thing is covered they can just be butted against each other, then screwed and glued.

@BRM what's your asking price on the Pioneer Amp? A friend of mine might be interested

Was thinking of an rn602, with 2 sets of wired speakers. I'm renovating a house, so running wires about is not an issue. May get so e of the wireless Yamaha speakers for the bedroom though ...

Sold I’m afraid.

I was given some stands to try with my Eatons on the weekend. About 150mm higher than the B&O trumpets.

Transformed! The imaging was never really a problem, but it is now amazing. Holy shit. Like a new system.

Sarah’s gonna have my balls tho

Ha!

Keep the stands under the sofa and bring them out for solo listening...

I bet they like having some space to breathe in too.

That’s the plan. Clever fucker that I am, I’m gonna mark the floor when I get them set up sweetly, but I’ll use THEO’S FUCKING CRAYONS! So he gets the blame!

It’s weird. The bass sounds a lot cleaner. Less of it but more variation.

God, I am starting to sound like a wanker

Low frequency definition. Mmmmmm. Filthy.

You should try some Diana Krall on that

Ha

I am listening to a really cool ‘space-themed classical music’ playlist off the back of our chat at yours

If they’re further from the wall you’re probably getting less proximity effect and raising them up will get the tweeters closer to your ear level/less off axis so that will help definition too.

Noice.

Share?

It’s a Spotify playlist with exactly that title

someone take these tannoy 605s from me, please...

i am listening to them now and they are ace

would swap for some mudguards or a nice freewheel or some cranks - make me an offer?

its okay this is your safe place.

Any chance we could start a sort of try out your system with this playlist? i'd love to have some recommendations from you guys.

Do you like obvious firm favourites or obscure. You are basically asking for 'audiophile' right?

Not necessarily, just more of a LFGSS this is to test out your speakers playlist...

OK, maybe someone will chip in with some then. I can kind of see what you're asking for but I'm not sure it works as a concept.

In the meantime try Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland and see if you notice all the phasing and huge soundstage and can you properly hear the basslines. It's a mental album on a decent system.

Fuuuuuu - they look like renders.
I bet they sound incredible. Would love to upgrade my old Kefs but fear my neighbours would kill me.

It’s ridiculous, the speakers and media cabinet are from different companies but match so well.

Need the electrician to finish plug sockets and decorator to paint before we wire it all up.
