Simplifying my setup (equipment from the empty spaces in the rack are up in the classifieds)

I can just barely see through that grille cloth do I detect some Bextrene shine and square felt tweeter surround?
LS3/5A ? If so I had read something about someone using a 30degree upward tilt to improve staging.
Sorta works hard to say.
Was wondering about those metal speaker stands are they custom?
Thanks for the post I really like that rack finish.

Those empty spots can be filled with more headphones to help with sound diffusion.

Good eye, they are Falcon LS3/5A Gold Badges (with the emblems removed)

I’m going to try tilting them upward like you said. @ampsandsound mentioned the same thing

They aren’t custom as far as I know. Justin sold them to me then with the speakers

Well, today I tore apart my prototype tower and removed all un-needed gear and wiring. Also a little hide and seek with the power center. Still to come is headphone storage for 2 or 3. Maybe by this time next year I will have a new completed tower?!

Tried tilting them upward a bit (stands only allow about an inch or so play on the levelers), definitely helps open up the stage and improved bass response as well

I had my Agartha modified to switch the speaker bindings to 16 Ohm. 300B SET and the Falcons are a match made in heaven

Last update with an added plant on the left side and new plants on the top. Now I'm sooo happy. Don't know what to add/change:
