Finite Elemente Pagode Rack
Latest change. It looks great and I'm surprised by the sound improvement. I shouldn't have been, given that I upgraded from a $50 IKEA shelving unit. :/
1920 House Room treatment
None. It's our living room. The dog's chair is between the speakers which is...not optimal for listening, but perfect for him. 16'x12'x9'. Speakers are 12" from the 16' wall. The listening position is inches from the opposite wall. Solid brick outside walls, plaster-and-lathe interior walls, wood floor.
Re: Ikea 'rack', :) I just needed something to put everything on and yes, when I took the picture I realized that it's started to warp. It's the next thing to replace -- it's a small space so I'm going to have to make something myself, which is always a long process.
That chair's for a new dog still in training. I hope it will move elsewhere, but this room, like every part of our small house, has to serve multiple uses.
I have not see much BAT+Piega combinations here on the 'Gon. And the chair that is draped over seems to be pretty good on to sit in, for a listening session. How come it is between the speakers? :-)
That Ike rack that holds the BAT preamp seems slightly bent. Maybe it is the picture - I don't know. Hope it is safe.
Alll in all a nicely put system. Enjoy your music!
