From the listening chair, 2015

Posted by: hungryhalibut on 31 October 2015

We did this several years ago, and it was fun then, so it may (or may not) be worth doing again. The criteria: pictures must be taken from where you normally sit to listen to music, they must show your speakers and they must show your feet (or those of your listening partner/friend/significant other). This is a slightly grotty iPad photo, but it serves its purpose.

Bert,

 

where haver you been? You must be the only forum member unaware of the latest moves by HH...

SL2 have been there for some time (as the other pair of sockets, hopefully), TQBlack has followed its meteoritic fate, NAC A5 is back in place, and the current central topic of this forum is probably the 250DR...

That said, the feet in engjoo's pic look as photoshopped as the black tape on blond hottie's ass.

I had that album cover confiscated from me by the Saudi customs officers at Dhahran airport when I worked there in the 80'''s

I'm perfectly able to answer questions for myself, thank you. This is supposed to be a jolly thread with pictures of speakers and socks, and I'd prefer it if you would avoid having a sarcastic pop at me. It is, after all, the lowest form of wit.

Late to the party ... wearing a pair knitted by my lovely wife ... Selecting music

and listening ... Dvořák: String Quartet No.06 in A minor, Op.12 B.40 [Prager Streichquartett - 1977]

Listening!

A few years ago, had anyone suggested to me that I would choose to play this I'd have laughed ... but thanks to Naim my music tastes have broadened so much

Poor quality socks I know... SU lurking behind sofa + B&W 683S2s -  pretty decent budget combination .  Is that a mullet next the SU ? Lets not start all that again  A Decade of Steely Dan current playing -  CD rip.

I also have these speakers.  Is that lamp sitting on top of the left speaker?  Not sure I would recommend that ...

Also, can you pull them out into the room any further?- they like a bit of breathing room .

Nice system overall- enjoy! david

No recommendation on where to place the sub or what color his wall should be?

Lovely socks and impressive CD collection!

You could try moving the palm tree closure by a metre , that should really open up the soundstage.

That's beautiful! Those Neats look very nice and so does your Eames Rocking Chair. I have one too but it's unfortunately not a good listening chair...

Boring socks to watch the colour of the IBLs tucked away beside the fireplace.

 

IBLs tucked away beside the fireplace. Socks carefully chosen to colour code with the black ash finish.

Thanks Bert - now that Thanksgiving is past in the USA, I guess my socks are officially in play!

 

It is a CD5X/FC2, and a SN1/HC, into a pair of ProAc D28s. 

 

But TBH, my main source in my SBT streaming from my Vortexbox.  And believe me, there are CD collections on this forum that leave mine in the dist!

I thought I might give my socks an airing. Please the clamouring public etc. Just moved house, hence terrible cable work.
