It's been a wild ride since moving into a new space, but I finally have something that works in my room. I realize I've left out the most important components for pictures on head-fi...the HEADPHONES. Rest assured, my trusty HD600 and HD650 are pulling duty out of the Mjolnir 2 using a Cardas balanced cable.
The Focal Solo6 Be in this setup is as close as I've ever gotten to headphone listening using speakers. The room was very acoustically problematic and using the monitors in the nearfield not only solved the room issues, but surprised me with some of the most relaxed, musical, and engaging sound I've ever experienced. Not pictured is the huge row of IKEA Kallax shelving for the rest of the LP collection.
I just finished some custom speaker stands for the Focal monitors. As much as I loved the sound of the speakers, the look was just too sterile. The wood stands help warm things up a bit.
