My system before and after we moved into our new place, a bit simple compared to most:

65 inch Samsung QN95A
Sonos Arc
2 x Sonos One's as rears (but not shown).

I like it, sounds great too and a big odd shaped room of about 60m

Sorted the cables on the floor after I took this pic, but not home for a few weeks now

I have a single 5, it used to be my kitchen speaker in the old house and was used for many parties. It’s now underused in my office at about 5% volume.

Cool. Not sure how you ended up with a single haha.

Derp, epic fail. I thought this was the Sonos thread. :cry:

I've talked myself in to getting a SVS 3000 Micro sub to help open up the midrange on the Klipsch, and provide a cleaner bass response. Hope the neighbours don't mind the 800W RMS (2500 peak).

That’s, err, pretty high!

It's due to the small box design. Throw power at it to make it sound like a bigger sub. Paying extra for aesthetics and compact size.

Watching Dune 2021 and I can confirm, the lows are pretty darn epic!

Looks good. I'm sure I've asked the question before (and you've told me!) but where are the speaker stands from? I think you mentioned they were some other type of furniture reimagined.

Im finally getting my setup back next month after 8 months of renovating the new house, and these would go nicely with my oak style floor.

Thanks. Good luck.
They're stools I bought from Amazon with modded tops.

Before with no base on the stands

I made up some bases with plywood.
Topped them off with isolation foam and 5 deg tilt.

Ah cool thanks, the amazon link doesn't seem to work?

Cheers, looks good! Just need to find some isolation foam and I've got some spare plywood. Why.

Forgive me for a dumb question but what is the isolation foam for? /where best to get it from?
Presumably to improve acoustics/stop resonance in the stand?

Thanks. I cut the below to size.

Anpro 2 Pieces Studio Monitor Acoustic Isolation Pads, Stabilizer Speaker base, 12“x 7”x 1.5“/ 30cm x 17cm x 3.5cm(Black) https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07D5...t_i_AHJMFA8Q9VSFQ6AV7ACC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

In my case the foam was used to raise the speaker height and project the tweeters to ear level. I also just like the angled look.

Apologies for all the questions. Did you also have screw slots/attachment bolts /similar on the bottom of your speakers or are you just hoping they're not knocked over?

No problem. They are not secured in any way.

Setup finished! For now!
