System Pics 2017
Posted by: hungryhalibut on 17 December 2016
Welcome to System Pics 2017. To get us started here is a picture of my setup: other than longer legs on the rack and some new wires, it's just the same as last year.

My S600s, while not strictly wall-proximate design, are quite sensitive to this, with a narrow sweet spot between too light and too heavy/boomy.
Could you share how far from the rear wall you find the S600 are at there best ?
Thanks

They're 300mm from the wall. Slightly toed in. The wall has some windows.
Thanks
PMC Twenty5.23s fed by a Nova, sounding excellent after a few weeks of running in, they look pretty lovely as well, the Nova is stylish and the PMCs look classy.
Morning All. Couple of pictures of the system as it stands. 2017 has brought Fraim and NDX both being a huge step forward and amazing additions.
Festive addition to the rack
Thanks for looking
Rob

Nice one Rob - What a lovely setup. The SBLs look rather superb
Super stuff!
Gorgeous looking SBLs .. it's a shame I didn't hold on to mine ..
Mort2k nice looking SBLs, I seem to recall are these the SBLs that were originally black then stripped back to this amazing finish?

Looks nice!
Could somebody please advise how to post photos rather than just links. I am trying to use Imgur but don't mind a different free photo sharing service but not Photobucket which I think is horrible to use (the free version anyway).

Imgur is a probably the most popular image service on the forum since PhotoBucket went antisocial

Copy the ‘direct’ link in Imgur, and paste it into the ‘source’ box in ‘insert/edit image’. The same as it was for Photobucket, but for me, Imgur seems to work more reliably.
A hybrid Hi-Fi and Home Cinema room using the Sonus Faber Guarneri Tradition as the front channels for a Dolby Atmos 7.4.1 system. Hi-Fi is CD555, 555PSDR, NAC552DR and NAP300DR. There is also a Rega Planar 3 TT. Mains cables, interconnects and speaker cable are Chord Sarum T.
The display is a 75 inch HDR Sony with Sky Q, Oppo 203 4K Blu-ray player, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV inputs via Lumagen Radiance Pro video processor. Home Cinema amp is Arcam 840 with Arcam P429 (4 channel power amplifier for the Atmos channels). Lighting is 16 Philips Hue GU10s (explaining the purple effect) and remote control is Control4 network controller.
The film posters including the Italian version of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are original. Settee is BoConcept, media storage is Neville Johnson and coffee table is Noguchi (John Lewis).
EDIT - Thanks Mike and Chris for link and advice.

I realise I’m just repeating what everyone else has said, but I have to say it: those are stunning SBLs.
As an aside, I wonder where the SBL sits in the list of Naim speaker sales volumes? It must have been the most successful. A design classic.

Lovely system Eoink, one very small tweak could be to maybe put Naim glass, cups and balls under the Nova.

Looks nice. The one thing in this setup I don’t understand is that you have the Nova on the left. While you could create a wider spread of the PMC’s by putting it in the middle. I would suspect your sound would improve...

Even better... Naim need a “wall Fraim” (in two sizes) .
