**** This is my old system. Leaving it on here so I can remind myself of how long I've come :)
**** Please see my latest virtual system

Although I had a nice audio system for the last 15 years, I really started getting serious about the hobby about 5 years ago. This is my latest system after going through several iterations and gear swapping. I consider myself blessed to enjoy the music in a dedicated listening room that I can set up any way I like :)

I have also added some older pictures to show the progression over the years. I had tried a lot more variations but unfortunately don't have pics for some other speakers and components I had in the same room.

Components Toggle details

    • Joseph Audio Perspective2 Graphene
    The Joseph Audio Perspective2 are by far the best speaker I've ever owned. It took everything I loved about Harbeth and added a more modern touch.
    • Audio Hungary Qualiton a50i
    After cycling through a number of solid state and tube amps, the Qualiton a50i is the one that checked all the right boxes for me.
    • Denafrips Terminator II
    I really like R2R topology and the T2 does not disappoint. Amazing sound with a massive soundstage.
    • Gigawatt Powerprime
    Excellent power conditioner
    • Innuos Zenith MK3
    Lovely streamer and server. I also run it as Roon Core.
    • Network Acoustics Eno AG
    • GIK Acoustics Acoustic Panels
    One of the best changes I made to my system. I was shocked by the level of improvement the panels brought to the system.
    • SwissCables Reference Speaker Cables
    SwissCables reference speaker cables are truly amazing. They are very balanced and musical in my system.
    • SwissCables Reference Power Cord
    Power cord for the integrated amplifier
    • SwissCables Reference RCA Cables
    Connecting the Denafrips Terminator II DAC to the amplifier.
    • Gigawatt LC-1 EVO power cord
    Power cord for the Gigawatt Powerprime power conditioner
    • Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme Power Cord
    For the Denafrips DAC
    • REL S/510 subwoofers (x 2)
    A pair of REL S/510 subs. The subs were a substantial improvement over the REL T9i's that they replaced.

    Z Audio makes some of the best and reasonably priced audio furniture. Highly recommended!

Very nice! I had my dual subs positioned kind of like yours, but following recommendations made on this site about placing them on opposite walls did wonder for the low end in my room. See my house of stereo system. The right sub is basically placed like yours, but the left one is about a third of the way down along the left wall.  Having them in a stereo position was good for the listening position but caused some heavy booming along the back wall. Now it just sounds right everywhere. It may not be an issue for you but was a big one for me. Wanted to share. Enjoy!
