D'agostino and Rockport isn't a combo you see very often. Hope you really enjoy them mate : )

You could maybe talk to zynsonix about a speaker amp to headphone coverter box with some resistors or something in it to make it a bit safer/give you peace of mind, to try with the D'agostinos.

The usual D'Agostino combo is wilson. Pretty much every pair of wamms is sold with a pair of relentless.

I love pictures of big flatsceen TVs. Here's mine, an LG OLED.

The room is large, which makes the screen look smaller than the 77" it really is (pardon the lazy picture-taking):

Nice looking room. It’s an aesthetic style that appeals to me.

Thank you.

My wife and I like Arts & Crafts furniture and furnishings. My woodwork was influenced by that as well as Frank Lloyd Wright, Joseph Hoffman, etc.

Here is mine. 83" Oled. Sony A90J.
Just setting the gear up our my rental home while we get our dream house built (under construction).

I'm installing and running new gear to work out the kinks. So it's all ready to go when we move in.
UHD player, Multi zone Blu-ray, Marantz power amps, Violectric V281, turntable etc.....
Cabinet took the longest to procure. Custom wood turning. It took 6 months from confirmed design and order.

I’ve heard of Frank Lloyd Wright, he was an architect I believe but don’t know Joseph Hoffman. What I like mostly about the room is the shelving and cabinets. Their shape appears to be a mixture of old and modern finish. Also the bottom middle cabinets where the television sits on. They protrude outward which gives the whole structure character. The shelving & cabinets colours & shade contrast with the wall is a nice touch. I also like the carpet and it’s motif (Turkish ?) & nice work on the furniture. Good for your wife and you.

Now, my Audiobyte stack is complete Hydra.Hub (Streamer, Upsampler, Format Converter, DDC),Hydra.Vox (DAC/Amp/Preamp) and Hydra.Zap (LPS). Headphone amp/preamp is Pathos Inpol Ear w/ '70 Mullard E188CC, DDC is Singxer SU-6 but now rarely used since now I stream directly to the HUB via Roon or UPnP/OpenHome. HP is Audio Zenith PMx2 v.2.

Thank you for noticing those things. "Character" was certainly one of the objectives...

The room is big (front wall @25'; rear wall @28'; sidewalls @28'; vaulted ceiling @16') & each wall has built-ins of some kind (my grand obsession). The 100s of glue joints all through the woodwork mandated painting, not staining. And that called for maximum deployment of what Frank Lloyd Wright (genius architect & designer of furnitures & furnishings) called "shadow lines."

Can Hydra hub be an independent purchase and used with other system?
How much does the hub cost?

 

[m-i-c-k-e-y]

Yes, however there are some catches:
- Need a special DIN to Barrel plug to power the Hub. Contact Audiobyte.
- I2S is Rockna Standard.
- Need to update to latest FW. Early FW were buggy.

Here in Italy it costed me €2190

Nope.
I'm done with home theatre. Just a wall with this equipment.

I must say. I'm not missing the old HT even tho it was truly state of the art. Guess I'm getting older and don't care as much anymore.
Bourbon and music has taken over.
