    Show off your 2ch system

    One of my office systems.

    • ELAC Miracord 10H
    • Fisher 500B
    • Frazier Monte Carlo D speakers
    • Yamaha SACDP in the cabinet
    • Gutted Curtis-Mathes TV console
    • Lava lamp for better reception

    Looks nice, but your imaging might be improved if you pull the speakers further forward, so they can "see" each other. This appears to be important with nearly all pairs of stereo speakers.

    Thanks! You are quite right and I had forgotten (years of tow-in and then Ks do strange things to convention).

    pmsummer, both your rooms look awesome! In the Klipschorn room, is the two seat couch the sweet spot, and the sound comes from behind?

    The sweet spot is the chair that occupies the POV of the shot. Guests get the K-Horn-Headphone effect... which sound pretty good due to the room acoustics.

    So you are seated further back than the crosshairs between the speakers. Interesting. The exact crosshairs is works best for me.

    The apex is just about at the bottom edge of the picture. My chair/ears
    are about 3' beyond that. Were it not for the need of the love-seat, I
    might have moved up, but I don't find the CT-135 tweets (or the T-35
    before) to have such a narrow dispersion in this room (always the caveat) that I can't be a little off axis without a experiencing any loss in sound quality. YMMV.

    That's nice that's what I want to get, is that a Thorens table.
    I have a td166 mk 2 that will be paired with this system along with either my Heresies or Fortes. I think the one I am getting has the unpowered center so I can run my powered sub
    :

    The table is an AR-XA... and yes, the 299-D has a center pre out.

    Good luck!

    INDY OR HOPE?

    With just 2 rooms in Hope the demo would be limited.

    By that time we hope to have some "new" product coming from hope. So I can't say what you will see.

    It will be of top notch and you will be happy to play the classics on the system.

    BTW: I now listen to classical every day. I am finding that I like some more than others...I still can't say half the names of some of those guys.

    I stayed at the Motel 6 (or was it a Days Inn?) in Hope for the last Pilgrimage. It's a former Holiday Inn in all it's '60s Mid-Century Modern glory... and pretty well kept. I noticed they have two banquet rooms, and that the Hope Rotary and Kiwanas met there. Be a perfect place for Pilgrimage HQ, with demos (and I bet it's FREE if enough rooms are booked).
