avguytx Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 I guess here pretty soon, the Barzillay cabinets will be moved to the right of the couch for awhile but may eventually end up downstairs in out master bedroom under the TV. There might not be enough space for them upstairs unless I move them across the room upstairs under a larger window. It's good for storing gear or other knick-knacks, which is what would happen to it if it went downstairs. I'm about to place the order for the Onkyo M-5000R amp and C-7000R CD player so my plan is to use a different rack between the Belle clones....something like one of the "Flexy Racks" that use threaded rods, etc. This setup will only have the Onkyo gear, a Pioneer PL-518 and some sort of basic PC to access JRiver/FLAC files. The second system on the other wall, that I can move the couch around easily to listen to, will be my fully rebuilt Carver gear....BillD C-1 preamp, M-1.0t MkII, DTL-200CD, JVC turntable and PC for accessing JRiver/FLAC files. Either system could play the other speakers I have including the Cerwin Vega VS-150's, Infinity Quantum 3's, Celestion Ditton 44 Series II's, or 2 pairs of Dynaco A25's. And my wife wasn't as thrilled with the "new" sofas cushion material, or color, so she wrapped them in a blanket we weren't using and dressed it up a little. She says that she's not doing anything upstairs as it's "my area" but it seems like she still does things when I'm not up there. lol. Oh well...she's helpful in so many ways that I'm good with whatever she does. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An issue I see, as I assume you sit center seat, is you will be sitting on the crack between the cushions. 😀 Though i'm sure the blanket helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought about that, too, once the recliner was moved back downstairs. But, I'd rather have a spot for 2 or 3 people to sit and listen (like the other night)....I can tolerate the crack under my crack. lol. Who knows...one day, might make a solid cushion all across the bottom so no one has a crack seat! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple days later I realized that was the wrong thing to do. Was my couch "nap" pillow. THAT'S not happening! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Crack under crack is almost as good as no crack under. Either is worlds better than crack under (one) cheek... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other, cut in half and place either side of it, recover with blanket. There will of course now be 2 cracks, but, no crack for you. 😀 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhound Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Kip congrats I know this has been a long time coming. Room looks great and so do the Belle inspired clones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still more work to be done with room acoustics, building a horn loaded sub eventually, and also a new rack for when my new Onkyo M-5000R amp and C-7000R CD player come in. I'm going to tidy up that area where the nice old Barzillay cabinet is. Eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
