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.

Proximity to the wall is nature's eq. If your bass is too heavy or boomy, bring the speakers into the room a bit. If too light, push them back. 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

Rob

 

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

Mort2k nice looking SBLs, I seem to recall are these the SBLs that were originally black then stripped back to this amazing finish?

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.

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) .
