Nah no room 

Congrats on your new toys, for interest sake have a set of JBL speakers... but they definitely don't look like yours ? 

Not sure balancing the TV in between them is that smart [emoji15]

Ha! It’s wall mounted 

Also does anyone have 4 x KT150 I can borrow for a couple of days before I spend the cash on them?

Looks awesome! How about some shots without covers?

 

And of course - how do they sound?

Take their clothes off??? 
They sound great. Gonna need the solid state monos that are on their way though. 50-60w valve is not enough to move the 15” woofers. 
 

much ? !

We tried the horns closest to the rack. Not as good as with them wide. 
It’s well known that the CD in these is very efficient. That’s why I don’t like the 4430 so much. In this small room I have dialled back the CD to a better level and left the mid on 0. 
Haven’t had a lot of listening time but this room always gives an easy sound stage with the vocals right in the middle and great channel separation and it’s still all there with these. 
The Osborns will be a hard act to beat but these are putting up a very convincing fight and I think will win. 

Went to Klapp today and ordered the Chord Clearway 2m interconnects. 
Met the rep from B&W and thanked him for my shirt ?.

Bought the Chord Clearway speaker cable for $22 a metre and soldered on some new bananas tonight. The improvement was instant and huge from the Van Den Hul. I’m not usually a cable guy but this was night and day. I can’t move from the sweet spot. 

The old wires can make a significant difference when partnered well with your equipment, sounds like you’ve found a good match for your amplification into your speakers.

I’m a non believer in power cables.. speaker cables and interconnects I have time for. But, nothing in the stupid expensive range. 
The 2m Clearway interconnects are only $220 new. 

Spikey 

Well the Benchmark monos arrived and I couldn’t be happier. Although not sound tested yet.

Took me half an hour to open the packages thanks to @Winno’s amazing packing skills. Thanks mate. 
They look the part. Absolute beasts. 
Thanks to @kab for putting me onto them also. 

Bigger than I thought. Looking forward to hearing them.

Sound fantastic too mate. Letting them warm up. But early signs are very promising. Played a Tommy Emmanuel track and the acoustic was punching me. Just great. 
Just waiting on a preamp so using the DAC attenuated output
