    LMAO :D

    It's a good job they are properly tethered. There have been reports of Active SBL wandering all over the house and lying in wait to ambush unsuspecting owners who dare to read reviews of competing speaker brands. It can all get very messy.

    Glad to see you have yours under control. ;)

    I'll do my best…

    The room is kind of open plan, so I was actually standing in the kitchen when I took that. The pics make the room look a good deal smaller than it feels – the wall the speakers are on is about 14'.

    The sight of vinyl never makes me retch - there are records in every room bar the bathroom!

    A really minimal system compared to most here.

    Heres Mine. The decoration is pretty uninspiring ATM. Its on the list of things to be re-decorated after the bathroom and master bedroom/ensuite. Oh and the kitchen needs doing as well. No more hifi spending for me for a while:(

    Gary,

    Yeah, the room is pretty good. It's 5 x 4 m (lounge dining room) and we have arranged it so the system has quite a lot of room to work in.

    We quite like minimalist, uncluttered rooms with plenty of light. At some point will sort out the flooring in the room and get better lighting. What you dont see is the cheesy 1980s style artex ceiling which has to go.

    There's more….

    [​IMG]

    Top of rack is classical box sets, next four full rows are rock, pop etc apart from last two cubes on 4th row which are 7†/ 10†and the last one which is 'exotica / lounge / crazy'. Bottom shelf has jazz in the first 3 cubes, then one for weird shaped stuff like PIL's metal box etc, and the last one is classical.

    [​IMG]

    Some of the 12†singles and general 'overstock' – I've also a tub of good stuff waiting to hit eBay and a tub comprised largely of crap, i.e. 'the out tray'.

    I need to evaluate what I'm doing with the 45s as my bloody Linn won't play the things without that crappy little adapter thing that pulls the suspension out :rolleyes:

    I've got some CDs knocking about too…

    [​IMG]

    Yet more storage from that Swedish purveyor of long checkout queues and missing parts.

    Tony.

    Yes. I do so much record shopping that I tend to be able to unearth stuff other folks want at the same time, drop me a mail if you have a wants list.
