Great system. Very tidy!! Love the look of it all and the fact it will be a brilliant music system too. I completely agree with your comment about this forum not being a competition. All the ideas for my system came from the system thread here.

Really like your settup though, could do with a bit more space like you said already. Domestic situations though!!

Film maybe: inception, fugitive or captain America? I am sad

Just trying to think of films with that big piping in it!
 
Nicely done there CnoEvil....the set up and also the pics that you put up. Those are huge rear speakers...but I bet it gives out a satisfying surround experience.

Its not a typical mix of kit you have there...MF + ARCAM + Linn....BUt knwiing you from your write ups...I am sure you have done extensive demo-ing to reach the set up you have now.

Congrats and enjoy....

John, I appreciate the kind comments.

Re the film - It's a sci-fi film released in 1998. That particular scene is in a sort of giant poly-tunnel, with swarming bees!

Those rears are huge and only look right in rooms with high ceilings (11 ft in my case). They are the previous generation Ref Di-Poles which I got new off ebay, for a fraction of what they were. The present di-poles are much more user friendly.

There is more synergy than you might imagine between AVR600 and AMS 35i, as the Class G amps in the former give it a very Class A sound.

The Linn is the most musical digital streamer that I've heard to date, so works a treat with the MF.

Thanks for the feedback

Do you leave the grills on or off? Personally, I think it looks better off.

Hi Lee.....The grills only get removed for critical listening (and they do sound better that way)

Did the budget not stretch to a title?

Who needs a title (see the post after yours).....the budget won't stretch any further...not even to a single speaker spike!!

Do you need the extra "Brownie Points?"...well you've just earned yourself a merit badge. :bounce:

Did you get it without the clue?
 
Striking system! Especially the centre - really mean!

Lots of quality wood finish in deep colours also works for me every time.
 
Hi Al,

Yes that centre gives amazing clarity and detail for films.

The References are certainly finished to a high standard, which suits my old house.

:cheers:

Sorry if I missed it, but what rears do you have?

PP, the rears are the previous generation Kef Ref 206 DS, which I picked up (new) on ebay for a fraction of their original cost. It takes a high ceiling to house them, which is probably why the current ones are much more room friendly.

Nice. When I saw the photo they looked similar to Spendor's dedicated wall speakers.
 
One day I missed the forum and so much has happened >)

Cno.. this is excellent and definetly surpassed my imagination of your set up based on your description in the past. Very well implemented and very cleanly kept. Though I am aware of some of the components earlier, the big surprises for me are the center and the sub.

Which rack is it? It looks quite good. Thank you for posting the pics!

Now I have a little more conviction to get a larger center speaker in future 🙂

And thanks a lot Ben!

You and Ben are like Batman and Robin! 😉

It's not always that clean, a bit of pre-photo dusting was in order.

The Rack is an Atacama AV one, though if I'd known about them, I'd have gone with a Hi-Fi Rack Podium, as I prefer wood.

Thanks for the kind words

Nice system Cno. I like what youve done with the grammas. Can you do the same for my subdudes?
