My little setup, i'm happy with it for my room size, will get some clearer pics when i get a chance.

Need to add some cooling to the cabinet as its getting quite toasty

Does the vase stay on the subwoofer??

Just mounted my TV and recabled the front. Work in progress will block up fireplace and chase cables in due course.

Excuse the cramped bedroom setup, but you've got make the SPACE you've got:

Cosy. You're needing a new chair, right?

The sub has been rebuilt using a SEAS L26ROY 10" driver and a 250W plate amp. Probably the biggest single upgrade I've made as it blends in better with the speakers and boy does it drop low.

Any particular reason you went with that driver? I plan to build a subwoofer sometime in the future but would have no idea where to start with the driver, so many available!

Thanks

I am indeed, it's long overdue, the current chair makes a terrible mess! I've got my eye on a nice Aeron, but i'm holding off until I move

I went with that driver as it plotted the flattest frequency response for my existing cabinet. (It also had less group delay, lower port velocity and shallower phase inversion) Working from scratch,you can tweak the cabinet to suit a particular driver rather than having to find a driver to suit the cabinet.

Nice speaker choice....

I'm guessing officers mess judging by the notice board, shiny brown shoes and typical army carpet?

Nop - I work from home so the pinboard is work related, and the brown shiny shoes are just for work.

I live in rented accommodation with housemates, hence squeezing everything into one room.

I'll be buying my first home after the summer so will be getting a good amount more space & will hopefully have a nice update for you all

Fair one. Where have you hidden the speaker cables for the rears?

You can see it if you look carefully under the small rug, it's well hidden though, nice setup.

ChrisD. · 20 May 2015 at 10:29

Ah yes. I need to pull up my carpet to route two rear speaker cables and a Cat 5 cable for my iMac.

New TV. Samsung 55" 6 series. Being a VA screen the blacks are considerably better than my old LG IPS. For £600 I'm very happy......

flame696 · 20 May 2015 at 22:55

That looks really nice

AVF Burghley in walnut, £300 from JL.

I only constructed it yesterday, but so far I'm pleased. The cupboard doors allow remote signals to pass through them, so you can hide all your kit away from prying fingers and remotes will still work.

Next is a sound bar and a bigger TV.
