I'd tell ya but then I'd have to ----------------And what exactly is Sal getting assistance for?

There's an ole saying that,Sure, I understand. But can you rely on Thomas not to tell? Looking at that big mouth of his I wouldn't be so sure if I were you..
There's an ole saying that,
Three men can keep a secret,
If two are dead.
Yep, he's wearing pink pants.@Sal1950, have you noticed that Thomas D. Savage (D like discretion) changed avatar to something quite fancy?
I wonder if he had anything to do with the "erection" of the Jeff Goldblum statue in London?@Sal1950, have you noticed that Thomas D. Savage (D like discretion) changed avatar to something quite fancy?

My room is 16x20' with 11' ceilings and my home-built speaker cabinets are nearly 6 cubic feet (15"b, 6"m, 7x10" Tractrix horn tweets - highly efficient pro drivers). This is my main studio space, no room for them on the floor so for the past 26 years they have been suspended from the ceiling with eye bolts and 5/8" chain and are 3.5' from the rear wall and 1.5' from sidewalls. Additionally, I have a home-built 15" Dayton sub pushed by a bridged Crown XLS and another 10" Sony sub for under the desk. It's a workspace where I spend most of my time, nothing has to be pretty, just has to sound really good (and loud when I need it to be to drown out presses in the next room when I'm printing). The equipment sits next to my built in desk with iMac but I move around a lot when I'm working so I'm after a wider dispersion and good off-axis response as I design these things for the room.

Currently rebuilding the baffles on the speakers and adding some additional (switchable) small cabinets to hold new 6" Eminence mids and Fountek NeoCD3.5 ribbons to fly on the inside edge of the big boxes.
The core of the system has to be my miniDSP 2x8 used as an active XO - Build Link
2013 iMac (iTunes, Vox, & BitPerfect when it works) but previously Mac minis, a Mac Pro and a couple hackintosh rigs.
Topping D10 DAC (with home built esoteric USB cable)
PS Audio 6.2 straightwire preamp
2x NAD 2200PE amps bridged for bass drivers
AMC 2445 2/4 channel for tweets
home-built class D amps for mids
the aforementioned Crown XLS 1500 bridged for sub
NAD T515 (for that occasional CD I want to check out but maybe not rip)
cheap BT 4.1 receiver for guests who insist on playing me something from their phone
Technics SL-D2 w/ Sure M97XE cart
Schitt Mani phono pre
12/3 Home Depot power cords for speaker wire (28 foot runs of wire x7 )
Revelation ICs (because I got a hella' deal on them)
Furman M-8x power conditioner (fancy power strip)
Several home-built tube buffer pre's that aren't really used that much but fun to run into the tape mon loop on the PS Audio pre and somewhat re-experience my obsession with tube amps and vast 12A*7 collection.
Isoblocks on most things (who knows if they work but makes stacked stuff equally spaced)
Scarlett 2i2 & Dayton EMM-6 mic for measurements via REW and FuzzMeasure
The birds eye maple thing in the middle is the miniDSP 2x8 enclosure with the class D amps in the enclosure below it. Other amps and Furman are hidden under desk in a crude rack. All this gear is at the other long end of the room facing the speakers and books fill the space above and sides of most of the space - effective room treatment and they have been know to expand the mind in other ways....

Alas, at age 76 and living as a retired expat in a little mountain town in Western Panama, my system is now limited to an Intel NUC and NAS as a source, SMSL Sanskrit 6th DAC, a Topping PA3 amplifier, and a pair of Paradigm Atom v6 monitors. However, for this period of my "senior" years, such a system still plays music well enough to please me.
Over the years I had s lot of fun buying, selling, and listening for many hours to systems with a variety of sources, electronics and speakers, some of which are in the pictures below. (Not all pics are of my gear, but from 1958 to 2012, I owned all of these components and more. I'm collecting pics for sentimental reasons.)
