Taken with my phone at night so the quality isn't great but I have gotten to the point where I wouldn't change anything in my speaker setup which for someone with upgradeitis is amazing! Still looking at the Meze Empyrean as an upgrade is to the Ether Flows when it is released though.

What are your speakers/monitors? And is that a sub under the desk (or the computer?)

NICE setup! By comparison, my equipment-strewn home office looks like a trash-heap...

Haha well I have some pretty bad OCD and I can't deal with mess on my desk or anywhere in my room to be honest.

My speakers are Monitor Audio Platinum PL100 II and under my desk is a BK Electronic XXLS400-DF although I am thinking of getting on of the new SVS subs to replace it.

It isn't that clear but there are 2 separate boxes under/next to my desk, the one on the left is my PC and yes it is huge lol, a Phanteks Enthoo Primo case to be precise, and the one on the right is my sub.

Apparently I have no such issues, LOL.

I have the humble-but-good SB-1000, SVS's entry-level sealed 12" sub. I hear the 13" sealed is a total ass-kicker: very musical, but able to move the house off the foundations.

The problem w/any of these subs is somehow getting the signal crossed over w/o getting bogged down in a cheap passive xover. I ended up purchasing a high quality electronic crossover (Marchand XM44 2-way, used) which totally solved that problem.

Haha yeah it seems not, I think my brain would explode :deadhorse:

I use the inbuilt low pass filter in my XXLS400-DF in conjunction with REW and a calibrated mic then finish it all off with my Minidsp DDRC-22D which seems to work nicely, takes a damn long time to get everything set up perfectly though! I was looking at getting one of the new SVS SB-4000 which is apparently a beast and the inbuilt crossover is supposed to be pretty good as well which is a plus but I think it is just a bit too big to fit under my desk which is a shame...

I framed and hung a few concert posters and put them on my wall so it does not look so bare in my listening room.

I have a few more to go and will post some pics when I get finished.

Just got the Amirons on Saturday and am comparing them to my DT 990s. The latter got taken out of the closet last week as the crappy Hifiman pads started falling apart and I had to switch away from HE560s for a couple days until I had the time to glue the pads together. The AKG cans are there to remind me that I should try to fix them as they're broken...

Finally got my dual mono amp setup for my headphones. The amps have the Burson V4 opamps installed. Parasound preamp has the Burson V5 installed.

Mamma mia, i'm such a rookie!

I'm seeing real, live equipment racks!

Have read much about Burson opamps. They look huge, too large for some applications. How do they sound to you?
