Discovering this thread made me realise how unorganized my bedroom setup was lol. I moved things around to give me peace of mind.
 
This setup consists of;
Pioneer VSX 528 receiver.
Pioneer S-SLW500  down firing subwoofer (which doubles as a center speaker for my needs)
Canton GLE 420 loudspeakers with aluminium cones

Never experienced distortion once in the 6 years i've owned 'em. And i've never had 'em lower than 60Db...German engineering at it's finest...

Pictured:
- Dangerous Music Source
- Sennheiser HD 800
- Amphion One15
- iMac 27"
 
Not pictured (underneath the desk):
- Bryston BDP-1 (music player)
- Teradak 12V13A LPS for Dangerous Source
- Amphion Amp 100 for One15
- Tripplite power distribution unit
 
Impressions:
- The Amphions are the king in this setup. HD 800 are now only for late night.
- Was contemplating between PSI A17, Focal (Solo, Twins), and ATC SCM20. Went with Amphions and these are just incredible. Hands down better than the Focals by a mile. In the same league as ATC, perhaps even slightly more musical than ATC.
- At similar size, there is also KEF LS50, which I thought were okay in my numerous auditions. The Amphions are entirely something else.
- I think the Amphions might be more resolving than the HD 800. Holographic and excellent bass control like the HD 800. Mid clarity and the air up top is just phenomenal, even surpassing the HD 800. Cannot hear the crossover and their problems like with other speakers.
 
Next step:
- Customizing the elevation of Isoacoustics stands
- Room treatment
