very true! i too have found that downloading certain artists have helped me appreciate them more. better still, if i like what i hear, i'd grab their album from the nearest CD shop! anw, back to the pics!

I really like this simple and clean setup.
 
How are you liking the Dynaudio's? They're fantastic little speakers, I almost bought a pair of them myself a couple of weeks ago but ended up getting a 2.1 AVI setup instead. It was a tough decision choosing between them though.
 
 

the dynaudios are utterly amazing.  they are a great budget friendly and easy way to get into a quality speaker setup.  i decided to go for it after using a pair of adam a5's (predecessor to the a5x's which i think are a total ****-up) at work. they have this airy quality that ive only ever heard on very high end speakers that is truly magical.  as well as something that, as a headphone user, is new and exciting: real soundstage.

I dig! I would use some velcro zips and tiddy up those cables a bit
 

yes, i was just thinking the same thing after moving the desk to a different spot (where the photo is taken) in the room.  as it is, the interconnects feeding the monitors cross over a number of power cables, so the benefit would be more than just organizational.

So Adam a5x are no good?  I almost bought a pair I saw for $800...

for 800 dollars almost everything else on the used market completely destroys them.  you can easily get a pair of the bm5a's for that much.  i got mine for 700.  also, the old a5's are much much better, and during the transition from those to the newer models, they could be found all over for 500 a pair brand new.  if you lurk around enough im sure you could find a pair today that would be a killer deal used or even brand new.  while the a5's had plenty of accurate and well integrated punch across their entire freq range (even in the high end which i dont typically think of as a "punchy" area), the a5x's seemed so analytical as to become inaccurate and rather hollow.  the a7's are also something worth looking out for.  they can be found for 700 or less and are well, well worth it.  in terms of studio monitors there are a lot of great opportunities in the used market right now that will reward anyone willing to put some time in greatly.

That Lian Li case is gorgeous!

Elegant setup. I love Lian Li's.

 

[Somebody007]

Thanks guys, I used to find Lian Li's ugly. Just a black box I thought, but given time I think we all grow to love that black box. It's just so beautifully clean. It is however huge like that atcs840 I mean just look at how it dwarfs my supposedly large g110 and my 24" monitors which some consider already quite big.
