An audiophile 's heaven. You have a nice room as well as good rigs.

Thank you. Very happy with it now. Took several weeks to find the correct place of the speakers.

. Providing me some sanity during these troubling times.
Set this up for my daughter today.

Intermediary: DIY Tube buffer, thanks to our FM @yogibear
Power Amplifier: Adcom GFA-535mkii
Speakers: Spica TC-50
Still to tweak positioning within her room constrains. Just allowing the setup to break-in as all the components have remained unused for ages, especially the amp and the speakers.

It must be a great feel and satisfaction to see the system work built by unused items. Its even a greater experience to get involved into DIY. The system looks nice
Btw, the speakers seem to have an elevated throw, firing straight at ceiling. Does that impact the stage?

Looks clean. Well done!
I ask this question to almost every owner who has a dedicated music setup. The left speaker is too close to the equipment rack and there's a stand mounted TV between the speakers. Do they impact the phantom image and stage? Because the space between and behind the speakers contribute a lot to these aspects of the stereo reproduction.
Well ...
I have not tried the stereo chain in the same place without TV
But don't feel that image, centering, depth is suffering because of such an arrangement
Cheers,
Raghu

I had the TV between the speakers for sometime and when the TV was moved to a different place, the depth and clarity of the centre image and instruments significantly improved. I understand that not everyone is gifted to have dedicated stereo listening setup, but these experiments worth the attempt!

As "raghubp" said even I have not experienced any image, centering, depth issues with this setup, or maybe I have not used this TV separately to observe the changes. However this setup is gone as of today. As I said in my post this room will have purely a stereo setup in a few days with these below systems.

@robin3989, there’s an ongoing discussion on the highlighted subject in this thread, with interesting views and experiences:
Argument against placement of HIFI rack / equipment / TV between the speakers
Came across this video the other day: I had never considered placing my equipment anywhere other than between the speakers. Now this video is making me 'less satisfied' with my set up :) and my crab mentality is making me post this on the forum for the 'benefit' ;) of fellow members.

Upgraded my bedroom AVR to X4500H, watched aquaman and certainly felt a good amount of improvement over the x2600h. Calibrated using the avr software at the moment , yet to calibrate with mobile app.
Also moved Marshall to a more aesthetic position. Rarely listen to them since getting bookshelves.

Just set this up after moving to Bangalore. Bought the Cambridge Audio CXN v2 as my source and DAC and added it to my set up.

Amp: Cambridge Audio CA351a

Only for music!
That's it!

Nice setup!!
Don't cover the vents of amp. They need to allow for air circulation

For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
