Description

HiFi in the office is a thing of beauty. The Carnegie Acoustics Davanti monitors pair beautifully with the Aperion Audio MKII super tweeters, and the LFE output on the Emotiva TA1 at 80Hz to the Emotiva SE8 subwoofer smoothly integrates the low notes. Dual 8" subs on the SE8 for crisp accurate bass, beautiful airy mids, and the super tweeters sparkle the champagne highs. The holographic imaging on this setup is extremely precise and startling to the senses.

Using the Cardas Audio beyond clear dual USB cable from the Matrix Audio Element H USB 3.0 interface streaming Qobuz. Audiowise's SRC-DX takes the USB from the computer and turns it into dual hi-res BNC output to the dual BNC inputs on the Chord Electronics Qutest. Running LP Filters and DC-Blocks from Audiowise with Silver Sonic BNC cables from DH Labs. The Qutest is wrapped in Audiowise's RF-SHIELD DAC wrap made of silver and platinum to block RF. The DAC is also isolated on Isoacoustics Orea isolaters. I'm using Analysis Audio Clear Oval speaker wire for monitors and super tweeters, incredible accuracy in their oval design. I attempted many speaker cables in this setup at many price points, these Audio Analysis Clear Oval cables were by far the best; clear, precise, and ultra transparent bliss. Powered by Isotek Sirius power strip; MCRU linear power supply ultimate edition for Chord Qutest, ifi ipowerx 12v power supply for the Matrix pci usb card.

Thanks for looking, enjoy the office.

@jond So for a perfect near field triangle speakers are 34 inches apart and ears are 34 inches from monitors. That's not a horn, but my sony camera that I use as a webcam, or for recording video :)

I have office envy right now. Great set up!

That's a pretty crazy office system Brandon how far do you sit away from those monitors?  Also what's that horn on top of your left tweeter? And nice Air Jordan collection!
