My long overdue system pics.

The furniture should help with the hardwood floor. Besides, you don't want the room to be too dead.

Thanks for all your comments so far. I've given some thought to moving things around, maybe getting the SVS front and center, but it's just such a small space that fitting everything in becomes really tough. I thought I'd add the most up to date pics here, being as I've been able to remove the Hsu sub since I got the SMS-1 and I've since added the Dynaudio Focus 140's. I decided to go with Era D3's as surrounds above the doors, less than ideal but it's the best I could come up with.

This is the current rack configuration, but I have since moved all the internet connections (modem, router, etc.) into the rack.

Looking across the front soundstage:

Thanks for looking.

The real pictures are huge. It took me two weeks to figure out how to shrink them down so I could upload them to AH. I don't have them stored online or anything. I know, welcome to the 21st century.

So let me guess. To show big pictures, I'm going to have to load the pics to an online site and hyperlink? I really want to get the other pics of the back of the room up so I can show how messed up it is for mounting surrounds and get some options.

I'll start now to figure out how to get these online. Any helpful suggestions would be, well...helpful.

Its a long painful process if you arent computer savvy, but I will assume you are and give you the simple process, but you need Photoshop for my process.

Open image (jpg) in Photoshop, then click edit, scroll to save for web, click that. There will be the image and to the right a bunch of tools. select jpg in the dropdown and then the quality when you click it will have a slide bar, move it to the right or left when you get it to as close to 100k but not going over. The size will show in the bottom left.

Click save as or whatever, and voila, you have the same dimension but a different density image (More grainy, depending on original size) The process doesnt work too good if you start with full rez 8MP type images. you should set to a 1280x800ish with 2-3MP resolution for a good down conversion if it is pictures geared for upload, and crop out the un necessary border stuff if it is bare walls for example. Just my free advice. Sorry for wasting time if others gave you better advice.

I use webshots because they allow almost unlimited photos and resolution. No scaling to deal with and you get hi rez photo options.

Very nice rig indeed
Many many nice things here.....

I'd like some SVS's myself... and.... how happy are you with the Dynaudio's

Thanks for the kind words. I'm very happy with the Dynaudio. They are very detailed and easy to listen to. I switch back and forth between the Dynaudio and Era regularly. I still like both each for their own qualities. My wife unequivically prefers the Dynaudio.

The pics above don't take into account my new 52" display or the Integra processor. Since the processor upgrade, the system is not photo ready. The Integra was too deep to fit into the previous rack and I haven't found a rack solution that I'm happy with yet.

Good on you Dave, absolutely all Dynaudio's have been performing exceedingly well according to my taste

My personal favorite is Contour S 3.4, absolutely very very nice and good looking too
But don't listen to them, you just want to buy them, guaranteed.....
