phil_l's simple system

Are your bi-wire cables equal gauge on both sets of speaker terminals?  I ran into an issue with a bi-wire set that had 12g on the woofers and 14g to mids & treble.  I could never get a respect...

Have you considered removing the large absorption panels next to the left speaker?  IME a live end (speakers) dead end room usually sounds terrific.  Might try a pair of tube traps in the speaker c...

Love to see systems set up in comfortable living spaces instead of sterile dedicated rooms.  You have a aesthetically pleasing space and notably well placed speakers.  Good job 👍🏼

I think it’s great that you are able to enjoy the music together in a family space.  You have an inviting room that looks comfortable.  The play kitchen and toys look better than some of the room t...

Very simple and clean setup.  Some tasteful artwork on the walls would look even better but that's just me!

Beautiful system.  It looks like a very soothing place to listen.  The Sonus Fabers are stunning in your room.

Your system is a very clever approach to that size of room. It looks like a comfortable place to kick back and listen. I've seen some killer deals on used tables complete with cartridge. You just n...

Did you keep the Audio Physic speakers? The Manley Shrimp is an under rated preamp. I have one as a backup but I may need to change it, reluctantly, for something with balanced outputs.

Trying Not To Be An Audiophile...

The space could use some visual softening with some art works and plants (real or fake). The audiophile part looks straight forward and effective for the space. Enjoy!

ESP & BAT or N802 & W4S

System edited: System has been updated with a BAT VK55 amp which I prefer to the VAC PA100. Dual Gallo subwoofers are now flanking the ESP's. The Gallo TR1D's finally do what the other 5 or so prev...

Main Listening Room

You have a great looking room. It looks very comfy and relaxing. That rack of ARC gear with the Wilsons should provide some serious audio nirvana.

Nice looking system. I have similar taste in equipment including the danish design chair. The Vac amp is a great piece. You can make some nice changes swapping input tubes. It's funny one set of tu...

Congrats, the rack looks fantastic and I'm sure sounds even better. Mapleshade is on my wish list. I'd be curious to know what difference you find with the TT on the regular top shelf vs the extra ...

Really a nice looking system. I'd love to hear your impression of the distributed mode bass arrangement vs the common speaker setup. I had a Phi 110 for awhile which had awesome bass but never quit...

ESP & BAT or N802 & W4S

I like both speakers for different reasons. I had the ESP's set up when I received the W4S amp and only tried it for a couple of days. Out of the box, the sound was very listenable but not as good ...

System edited: I purchased a W4S ST 500 amp to try with the N802's and this combination is a fantastic match. This amp is the best I've used at revealing the differences in recorded soundstage. The...

I guess your don't need one of those special home theater chairs with the built in woofers. That's some serious woofing you've got there. Nice looking system!

The speaker cables I like with the N802's are the Audio Magic Excalibur, connected to the bottom terminals and then using the stock B&W jumpers. They are silver ribbon internally and modestly price...

Good looking system and room. What was the biggest change to the digital sound by adding the new filter?
