Like watching movies and changed my speakers. The previous speaker was the AE 2 Reference series. Had that for 12 years and I guess it's time for a change. I changed the rack, amplifier and speakers. The old amplifier was an Adcom.
This Quads are unforgiving. what you play is what you hear. So a bad recording will sound really bad. I use an Apple 23-inch Display for movies as my room is small and I don't watch TV often. The 15.4 inch Macbook Pro provides digital sound from it's soundcard. I listen to music often as well.
The Arcam amplifier as well as the CD player are black models which are different from the pictures of the model I posted under the equiptment list.
I chose a dark colour for my room as it helps alittle bit by absorbing sound as I do not want to have any foam stuck to the walls.
I write music and so the Quad 12L Passive monitors are perfect. Normally, the smaller keyboard is kept when not in use. The big one is left there for practising music.
Comments or opinions are welcome on the system or anyway to upgrade. Thank you.

Tivoli Audio Model One
A 5:1 Gear ratio radio tuner. Built in small speakers with amazing sound quality.
A very nice looking setup. I also tinker from time to time with music. I have a Roland Xp60 workstation that I hook up to my two channel for fun. (I really am very bad at it)
I have never heard that Quad monitor I bet it sounds great!
