Pretty sure that's a BDI Corridor 8177

I'm a fan of their stuff, and if so, definitely approve.

So I put my rack of components in the back. Not a new idea, many do a rack mount, but more often than not we see components neatly and properly displayed in the front of the listening space.

What you see is:

KEF Q900 7.2

Brand new Emotiva Differential Reference XMC2 processor

Emotiva XPR3 3-channel amp

Emotiva XPR5 5 -channel amp

Emotiva XDR2 Differential Reference DAC

Oppo BPD-103D video processor and player

Denon Professional DN700h DLNA audio source

Two Monster HTs1700 line conditioners

Hewlett-Packard Procurve 10Gbit managed switch

Furman lamp

Sony PS4

Xbox One

Apple TV HD

Epson 3800 home cinema projector

Elite Screen 120”

And a lot of Scotch

The audio is superb after Dirac Live correction. My sources are typical FLAC and Dolby Atmos sources.

That's also turntable porn.

And looks a hell of a lot neater than my rig does!

I love the look of that Denon amp.  Class A too... 

[swt61]

Yes, very nice, clean aesthetic.

[Fitz]

That's a big knob.

[swt61]

Oops, I didn't realize you could see it. I'll cover the camera on my laptop next time.

This is a crossover, because it's speaker porn too. This is my dream system...Vivid Audio Giya G1speakers and Luxman B-1000f monoblocks. Yes please!

Almost had exactly the same amps. Except I had an LS3, and exactly that power amp - the D125. Mind you because the tubes are fan cooled, I made sure there was enough space above it to dissipate the heat from a whole lot of 6550's. Sold them some years ago; they hold their value very well.

I think I could live with that setup.

There's a McIntosh salesman eating very well today. 

[mwl168]

Maybe he bought them on Amazon Prime Day.

Holy shit - no wonder there is only one bottle in the wine fridge.

Is that just his kitchen system? Else why is there a microwave oven there?

...it is only to operate the doorbell.
