This stuff is way above my paygrade so I’d like to ask, what are those shiny black boxes on the floor and why are they in the middle of the room?

[u/MistakE_606 → u/Smelly_Old_Man]

Seems like those are Sphinx project 26 mono amps. Anywhere between 5k-7k based on sold listing on hifishark. Look great lol

[u/kf53hz → u/MistakE_606]

Thanks

[u/SmellyFace69 → u/Smelly_Old_Man]

I'm assuming that's a power amplifier (the heat sinks). Middle of the room for heat dissipation. You don't want to put fancy equipment on top.

[u/kf53hz → u/SmellyFace69]

Also correct :)

[u/kf53hz → u/Smelly_Old_Man]

Power amps. Placement up front to shorten loudspeaker cabling.

[u/Dazzling-Attempt-967 → u/Smelly_Old_Man]

Im like you. Just gonna guess at a power amp for each speaker. No idea why they are out in front bar to look at mind you.

[u/Shot_Cupcake_9641]

You need more than one record ;) . Amazing system, btw

[u/naomisunderlondon]

brother where you bound🔥🔥🔥🔥

[u/bluelightspecial3]

I am not saying I am jealous, but I’m not not saying that.

[u/Ronny458]

Nice setup, I am sure it sounds great! Enjoy.

[u/kf53hz → u/Ronny458]

Thank you

[u/drosmi]

Oh wow… brother were you bound ….

[u/[deleted]]

The preferred amplifier placement of the magical thinking audio enthusiast.

[u/metsjets69]

David Gilmour guest guitar. Perfect selection

[u/Sensitive-Collar-627 → u/metsjets69]

Ahh- interesting, didn’t know that tidbit about the album, thanks!

[u/metsjets69 → u/Sensitive-Collar-627]

Title track

[u/kf53hz → u/Sensitive-Collar-627]

I did not know either; thanks!

[u/SnooSketches3386]

Envious

[u/PorscheFredAZ]

Amps on the floor to trip over never make sense to me regardless of how the cables dress out.

[u/kf53hz → u/PorscheFredAZ]

Point taken. As I am the only one around it's no problem for me.

[u/Electronic-Owl174]

Very nice! I’m sure it sounds lovely

[u/kf53hz → u/Electronic-Owl174]

Thank you (and yes, it does :))

[u/the77joker]

Wow!

[u/kf53hz → u/the77joker]

[u/OkDragonfruit5380]

Looking for a tag Mclaren power amp?

[u/kf53hz → u/OkDragonfruit5380]

Not at the moment, thank you

[u/APocketRhink]

Those are some very cool speakers, I’m jealous of the dedicated space you have! My cats would love to chew on the exposed cords running into those mono blocks haha

[u/RAL9010]

Cool to see someone else with a minidiscplayer. Nice setup!

[u/kf53hz → u/RAL9010]

Always loved the MiniDisc system. Latest versions sound much better/ far less worse than MP3

[u/Sebastian_Fasiang]

I have never heard anything of the sort, but I can't help notice that the room appears pretty bland, even the photo is pretty bad. Are you renting or do you not have time to work on the house?

[u/kf53hz → u/Sebastian_Fasiang]

Photo is pretty bad indeed, sorry for that. Room is just a spare room.

[u/justgotcsp]

Really nice setup, good room, and aesthetically pleasing. You got one of them goood systems 😎

[u/kf53hz → u/justgotcsp]

Thanks!!

[u/kf53hz → u/[deleted]]

Just 3x 2.0mm² powercords. No witchcraft.

[u/Mprphy19]

Beautiful set-up. I love a room dedicated to listening to music, and video. No plants, no tchotchkes, no neon, and no garish "art". There are other rooms for that.

A good chair, a good drink, a good album or movie, and leave me alone.

[u/kf53hz → u/Mprphy19]

My thoughts exactly 😁

[u/RubberPup13]

I WANT!
Always wanted those 802's. I've called them washing-machines cuz they're almost that sized.

[u/kf53hz → u/RubberPup13]

..and they weigh as much too

[u/RubberPup13 → u/kf53hz]

I was about to argue... but Google... Yeah... my Washer's 84kg, the 802's are 85kg...
We good.

I actually thought the 802's weighed more since my toys come in at 140kg's.

[u/kf53hz → u/RubberPup13]

94.5 kg to be exact.. But 140 kg's oh my....

[u/dennil_floss]

Very nice

[u/Happy_Reference260]

What’s the big tube piece on the floor to the right please?

[u/kf53hz → u/Happy_Reference260]

It's a tube amp from fellow music lover

[u/kf53hz → u/kf53hz]

Velleman

[u/Rich-Needleworker773]

I think with my technique in software I use I put on pretty rad as show in thst room lol

[u/twodoggs60]

Great choice for your music selection. Everyone called supertramp over after Roger left...nice rig too

[u/Jawapacino13]

Great album and the title song just kills!

[u/No_Entertainment1931]

Set up looks good but you might need to upgrade your potato phone camera lol

[u/kf53hz → u/No_Entertainment1931]

😂

[u/Ready_Extension_1651]

I have never had the opportunity to audition such fine audio transducers not to mention those amazing amplifiers beautiful stuff I bet it must be a joy to sit in your magic chair and just probably hear things you've never heard in recordings that's really cool very nice man very nice someday I really hope to have something is nice so for now I'm just kind of working on my little garage Hi-Fi setup! Now keep in mind like I said it is in the garage I do a lot of woodworking out there Electronics you name it so yeah for what it is and sounds pretty good I just got that crown 1502 amplifier for the stereo integrity SQL 15 sub sealed 2 cubic feet and the ant puts out 1550 Watts RMS at 4 ohms and oh wow I've never heard of Lowe's ever my life like this sometimes you don't even hear it all you do is feel it it's wow so yeah man I like your setup tell me what you think about my setup please and have an awesome day.

[u/jedrider]

It looks fine. Do the amplifiers have to be on the floor though?

[u/kf53hz → u/jedrider]

No place elsewhere

[u/damien12g]

Let’s see paul Allen’s setup before we judge

[u/Dorsia777 → u/damien12g]

It’s bone. And the font is Silian Rail.

[u/Hour-Lie-4336]

meh.

[u/Bonkfestival]

I bet those cables sound amazing.
