Very nice setup.  That desk looks incredible.  Would you mind sharing from where you purchased it?

I got it at Staples! There was a sale on it, so I snagged it for around $90.

Dang, I like that desk better than my $250 glass corner desk 

.
 
Do you find that the mini bookshelfs on each corner of the desk serve as adequate speaker stands? At least in terms of damping the resonance that would inherently come if you placed speakers straight on the desk itself?

I think the mini bookshelves serve as perfect speaker stands. I'm not a tall person, but with my chair adjusted to my liking, the tweeters shoot straight into my ear. I can feel a small amount of resonance coming from the speakers to the desk, I don't really mind, but I guess you can get some Auralex pads to help.

I had those same monitors back when I first started head-fi and before I knew what a DAC was. I knew enough to use lossless out of my computer's headphone jack and they were awesome. Not high quality if I can remember them today but ooh that bass! I returned them to Guitar Center since my dad could hear them in the next room and they weren't useful enough for me. I could buy them again but I'd rather save and get some nicer ones like Behringer Truth's with a ribbon tweeter. BTW these monitors stole my heart over the all so popular KRK Rokit G2 series monitors because they were like $20 cheaper (not so much that, on sale) and the KRKs had ABSOLUTELY NO HIGHS in comparison to these!

I would consider putting the amps on the lower racks and the source components on the top and not binding the cables with ties.

I put the amp on top because the power button is located on the rear. I didn't like the idea of crawling around the back of the rack to turn the amp on/off. I know people say its bad to tie cables together but its very distracting to see them dangling all over the place. What do other people do to manage their cables without tying them together? Traded my B&W's for a pair of these

Smart trade, as I have the ProAc 1s and the Studio 100, unbelievable sound that comes out of these beast!

Sweet, i was looking for a corner desk!

For anyone wonder what they are, the amp is a Scythe something or other. Does the job. Speakers are Q Acoustics 2010s.
All that is missing is my M50s, Alessandros and my E5.

My friends with small three bedroom houses pay 120/month. My tiny two bedroom in the city is 180, so yes.

 

[Jibbie]

We pay almost 300 a month in a three bedroom apartment.  Yay for A/C in Arizona! Still hitting 95 degrees everyday

I would call that cheap.
As far as I know you're lucky to get a single 15m^2 (160 sq ft) room for $400 as a student here in the Netherlands.
Guess it's everywhere like that in the city/close to the city.

Although I barely know anything about the real estate market.
