I've got everything crossed for you but I don't think they'll honour that

Delivered today and contacted very and they’ve confirmed I won’t be charged any further

Result!!

All finished, just need to put some stuff on the shelves now

We've left the front edges of the shelves/units as wood but I'm now not sure if we should have painted white, hmmmmm!

I vote wood finish, IMO too much white just makes a room feel like you've bought all the cheapest Ikea furniture going that's only available in white or white.

HEADRAT · 6 Dec 2023 at 12:22

Yeah, my thinking was putting paint on was easier than taking it off, this was all bespoke carpentry so it wasn't cheap

I'm still messing about with diffuser strips to go over the hue lights but I'm not convinced on those either!

If it's nice bespoke woodwork, show it off, otherwise you may as well have saved yourself a load of money and slapped some £15 Ikea Lack shelves up

Where are you going to put your JBL 4350?

Cover with tinsel for the time being

Looks nice and I agree with others, wood looks better. I’m not sold on the lighting, it might just be the colour you have them on

Looks better in the dark, a bit like me

That is a Naim Supernait 3 on top and a Naim ND5 XS2 streamer underneath.

Speakers are Neat Ministra.

Naim is the best sounding amplifiers I have ever owned. I had to get some none Naim amps for the ATC SCM 19, but I long for the day when I can own a Naim amp again. The sound really is like nothing like other amplifiers on the market.

Interested to know why you had to get none Naim amps for the ATC SCM 19's? Didn't they pair up well?

Naim and ATC sound signature a bit forward?

Interesting, I found exactly the same when I paired my Supernait 3 with the ATC SCM 11's - midrange was obscenely forward.

My current speakers JBL 3677's

Being replaced this weekend by some higher end albeit smaller JBL speakers.

They usually live behind an AT screen so out of view!
