My living room set up

[admin_exported]

Hi all. I registered yesterday and thought what better place to start for a 1st post.
This is about my 5th separates system now and I'm pretty sure this ones for keeps (I'm hoping if I tell myself this enough times, I may just start believing it).

Here's a rundown of my current system...........

Cambridge Audio Azur 840C cd player
Cambridge Audio Azur 840E pre-amp
Cambridge Audio Azur 840W pwr amp
Neat Acoustics Elite SX speakers
Monitor Audio RSW12 subwoofer
Samsung LE46A686 LCD TV
PS3 slim
Virgin V+ box
Atacma Equinox hi-fi rack
Cambridge Audio XLR balanced interconnects (cdp and pwr amp to pre-amp)
Cambridge Audio Arctic interconnect (TV to pre-amp)
Cambridge Audio HDMI Reference x2 (PS3 and V+ box to TV)
QED Genesis Silver Spiral Bi-wire speaker cable with airloc plugs
Ixos sublink
Tacima CS929 6-way mains conditioner
QED Conduit mains cable (TV)
Chord Superscreen mains cable (cdp)
Atacama spike shoes
Tesco granite plinths

And now for some pictures..........

There's still one or two things i need to do re: cable routing and also I haven't ruled out the idea of adding another 840W to bi-amp the Elites but for now I'm very happy with the sound and it'll stay as it is.

Thanks maxflinn. They weren't supposed to come out so large. I'll see if I can edit it to resize them.

Hmmm, I've deleted the offending items. Re-sizing them didn't work. No matter, I'll take some better shots in the next few days.

Thanks for the comments so far.

JoelSim: When I auditioned the Elites, the sound really did blow me away and I remember saying to the sales rep "I could listen to these all day long". I took a risk buying them though, as when I auditioned them, the source components weren't my own (I really didn't feel like lugging my Cambridge Audio gear all the way down there, the power amp alone is the best part of 25kg!). So I ended up demo'ing them on their Cyrus 8 system along with a few other speakers (Dynaudio, Audio Vector, PMC) for comparison. I feel I certainly made the right decision because like you say, the Elites do have an incredibly likeable sound quality.
