Awesome setup! Well done. Truly showroom quality.🙂

Which models Emotiva do you use? Fantastic setup by the way!

Thanks guys, really appreciate it!

Great setup! Have you tried a different angle for the 4000s  now it seems like the sound may go over your head - I would suggest pointing them slightly downwards,

I tried 4-5 different angels for the 4000s, but I`m not sure this is the best. However, the impression from the picture isn`t entirely correct because of the wide angel lens used to catch the width of the room, the speakers actually point slightly downwards and the distance to the "sweet spot" is a little longer than it appears. I`ll try to change the angel a little more when I have time. :-)

The DAC is an XDA2 Gen2 which recently arrived, so I haven`t used it a lot - but I ordered it after great experience with the UMC-200, and first impression is very good.

Nice thread and nice gear, but it seems to have been devoted to new equipment for some time. Where is the vintage stuff we all love here?

I built the grey wall 40cm from the original wall to hide all cables, and I have a "techincal room" in those 40cm where I have access to all equipment. I have to go in there to change Blu-Ray, but that's fine.

 

40cm? You are really persistent in your Mini-Gym-Room. Many of us would need 80-100cm displacement of this second wall to come in 😁

By the way really nice setup. Congratulations for the project!

Well, maybe I don`t know what I`m talking about - but there are probably quite a few years between new and vintage, and my impression is that most of the gear in this thread is somewhere between those extremes.

For example, in the latest post - which is mine - most of the gear was in production from the early 90s, including the 6 BL8000s that was in production from 1992. That`s 23 years ago now, and I was 9. Not vintage, but definitely not new. Just ask the previous owner of the speakers, who bought them second-hand. ;-)

The subwoofer is brand new, and I must say that I love how those classic 8000s fit perfectly with the brand new BL19 - that`s one of the things I really like about B&O.

Haha, now I had to measure it again - it`s really 49cm, my mistake. And as the wall is "open" from the backside (to avoid the three-walls-audio-problem), I get 7cm more most of the places - while the rack is placed next to a window, so I get even more space there. It´s really more than enough, actually, even for my 95kg. :-)
