Yikes! See how we go! Might just be a sitting room and reading room after all! Will try your tip out, thanks!

Hi Bryan @guru did as you suggested and although there was a tiny difference in how my son sounded as he sung at either end of the room, it was not much. Will be a wait and see me thinks! Always happy with advice and tips supplied via StereoNet! We must catch up soon, no doubt you have a new HNT Gordon plane (or two) to show off! Cheers, Michael

Maybe one since you were over, maybe more after the wood show. Few things have changed since you last listened, picked up a van load of second hand gear recently and still stuff in boxes everywhere, if you want to come over and listen to a $90000 pair of E's just for fun, let me know. 

As far as the room, it's primarily the bass that may present an issue and you won't know until that first piece of music plays.

cheers.

Ha! Thought you may have a newbie! You have it bad.

Sounds great, will have a chance in a couple of weeks!

Be in touch. Thanks!

Looking forward to start filling it! Hopefully back in before Christmas! Has been like pulling teeth, our first renovation and me thinks our last......

Finally in! Yay! Enjoyed the first real listen last night with the BIL. Sounds pretty good. Don’t think the ‘void’ at the back of the room is creating any issues with the sound. Played around with the loading on the phono stage and now am happy, I think......

Well done, Michael. The photos last weekend looked a treat. Enjoy the night with your system (and Jeremy).

A few changes....


Shane @metal beat

posting a couple of pics has prompted me into action. 

 

Love my new console that came with the bookshelves.

 

Pretty much ‘it’ for some time!

Some who have listened and seen my setup have been uncomfortable about my ‘assymetrical’ tendencies... Says more about them than me?

Back wall bookshelf seems good since recent addition, wasn’t there before, seems to sound a bit better....

looking fantastic Michael,  well done on the various upgrades and changes.  Looking forward to getting over there sometime soon (when able).

Wow. Very impressive Michael.  Sorry I missed last weekend but will get around for some tunes.

Don’t let them get under your skin - they have no idea when it comes to design aesthetics!

 

Room looks fabulous and the sound was wonderful, Michael! If that delicious slow roasted pork hadn’t smelt so good, you wouldn’t have got me out of that sweet spot at all!

Ha! Ta mate! Always a pleasure! 

Fantastic colour coordination!

What an enviable space. Congrats.

That Pathos amp looks lovely.

Best ‘tweak’ so far! New and much bigger rug.

Not going down that route on my head! ‘You don’t need hair to have charisma!’
