System Picture identity
Posted by: Justin on 27 January 2002
if you go to http://impulse7.com/naim/systems/thumb/thumb.htm
and look at the first system picture, what kind of speakers are those? Just curious.
whoever is responsible for the site, BTW, it's very nice.

ps. i'm responsible.
Tony.
PS I've heard 13.
CD's on top of the speakers
Electronics spread between a chair and a chest of drawers
Power cables dangling in front of the drawers and plugged into a multi-way adaptor
Turntable on top of the electronics
Neat or what!
33 is the most elegant. My wife would slit my throat if I did no. 34! 44 gets the award for the ugliest speakers. 1 is very neat, 9 is horrible and 11 is a "how not to"!
Regards
Steve
ps. new system "43a" piccies to follow. It looks very similar to system 43 except an LP12 now lives on a Mana RT to the left of the CD/Pre/Tuner stack and the whole caboodle is placed 500 miles away from where it was before.
I found this site ages ago, and 9 has been my saviour on more than one occasion.
(Sorry if you own no.9, but you must live on your own)

If it's a bloke he can't be on his own as the glass under the turntable appears to have been dusted...
Hmm, maybe it's Stallions system and his cleaner sorts it out?

what's the name of the speakers in system 1.
They look a bit like a pair of big JPWs.

That's Ulrich's system. He used to be a fairly regular poster round here (sadly missed). The TT stand is a Link Pyramid, and the elecronics are in self made sand dampled boxes under quite some presure. If you find any of this strange you want to see what he did to his SBLs! (they are mounted in bits to the back wall).
Joel B (who's ears I respect) paid Ulrich a visit ages ago and reckoned he got the best sound he had ever heard out of SBLs.
Tony.
PS I think Ulrich's is probably kind of neater aesthetically than Joel's! (13).
Hah, mabye he has his own listening room or something.
I though naim kit was supoosed to dissapate heat through the chassis, so surely his is under all sorts of pressure.

On the plus side, errr nice to see all those system pics in one place?

PS - I liked the look of 35 - well retro, 32.5/Hi/01/250 and Yam 600, LP12 Ticktok.

They look nicer in black, eh?
BTW. Thanks Steve. You're obviously a man of exceptional taste!

The ones I think you're asking about (immediately above your post) look like an old Energy speaker.
Justin--The guesses I would make are a big JPW, one of the Spendors, or an old ProAc. Lots of possibilities.
Cheers,
Bob
The speakers in question are built by a friend of mine and called Audiomark AM18's. That setup has now been superseded... more shocking setup pics later.

Tony,
that's hardly a fair comment.
If you remember the context of that picture, it was Joel's "dry run" before he re-assembled the Hutter into a cupboard.
You can't get much more "aesthetic" than that, if you're going to complain about the look of the boxes. I was going to say "a good system is to be seen but not heard", but it's the wrong way around! You know what I mean.
cheers, Martin
PS Check out the, er, "tasteful" prints to the left in no.30
Cheese!

Oi Joel! Care to share with the group just how many are in the cupboard at this moment in time?
