Post Pictures Of Your Listening Space

Those look a lot better than your normal fedex box speakers!

I have always thought corrugate would be useful for mocking up lower power speakers. It is relatively cheap and easy to cut if you know someone with a cutting table.

Easy to work. Here they are as version 2.0

My new DIY rack made from double layer 3/4" MDF and PVC pipe. Sealed with DEFT lacquer, painted with semi-gloss black and finished with some black & grey splatter paint.

Nice, er...rack.  Did you use threaded rod inside the PVC pipe (i.e. a 'flexy') or just the pipe?  Just thinking of stability issues.

Got any build pictures?

Thanks for the write-up!  I'll have to give that a try.  Interesting that I wasn't the only one to ask about the threaded rod!

I recently redecorated concentrating on looks more than audio rules.  Covered subs in corners with cloth frames.  Wires run around base of walls and are hidden by small panels I made.  Electronics showing just to right of speaker are for TV - 2 channel system is completely separated from video.  Currently only source is PC.

Nice clean setup. How have the room treatments changed the sound or what needed correcting?
 
Treatments have really made the room more quiet. Some may not like it, because it muffles some of the sound, but I have always liked a room without much reverb. Cannot really say how it affects the system's playback - I liked it before and after the room treatments.  But when you walk into the room from the rest of the house you immediately notice the quiet, hushed effect.
 
The cardboard pyramids are finished. I finalized them with Vifa A10CC-07 (made for M&K and $5 from deepsurplus.com) two way drivers and Eminence Alpha 8 ($45 from Parts Express) woofers. Simple 3-way crossovers from Parts Express and it is amazing how good they sound.

Here are some pics of my modest setup. Nearly all the gear was purchased cheap on the used market when I used to live in New York City before moving to Ireland. The Denon CD player was a sidewalk find. I think I need to make room for more Bottlehead kit though (if I can sneak it in under the wife's radar)!

You have some nice stuff there, collector even: McIntosh and Dynaco just to name a couple.
 
The only constant is change. Here is my latest setup. I just finished the custom JBL 2397 clones. They are CNC from 1" bubinga. The internal vanes are CNC from aluminum. These sit on top of a pair of JBL C50 Olympus speakers. Then a pair of JBL 2405 tweeters for some sizzle. They sound awesome.

Blooze... very elegant listening room and i love your 2 rear surround speakers up on the wall... very unique :) ......  and corndog... What powercords do you have in your pic?, if i may ask AND I think you did an amazing job  at EXACTLY matching the wood grain of your amplifier case and your floor, uncanny..... thank you guys very nice stuff....
 
HaHa ... I know, I was just joking, but thank you Corndog you are both a scholar and a gentleman :)....  A post earlier mentioned a "sidewalk find" being a denon cd player... well the ultimate "sidewalk find" I ever came across was a pair of very nice Soundlab A-1s.... that were waiting for anyone including the garbageman to come and pick them up..... I kid you not...... I knew the owner and heard the speakers on several occasions. Well they developed a problem where he got "zapped" a couple of times upon changing speaker cables. And that was enough for him , so he got fed up and put them out on his sidewalk for anyone to take if they wanted them to fix, OR just listen at THEIR own risk.. :)
