Hello everyone!

I wanted to share this moment of joy with you all!

This morning I was not home.

When I arrived the speakers were here! Well, the UPS guy just left the (perfecltly packed) parcel on the doormat actually... Also in the letterbox this morning Steve's cables!

The Beolabs are now in place just to check on their sound. More about that later, but they appear very neutral, with a deep and wide stereo image.

Next to its older sibling... Yes there is a (home-made) valve amplifier in the background! If you look closely, you'll also see a Beocord 2200 and some Pink Floyd LP! (as always, click twice to see the whole pictures!)

I wish to thank Lee once more and needless to say I'm going to enjoy the rest of my day very, very much!

Atom Heart Mother for the win!

Awesome, Jacques.  Very happy for you.

Good looking music room, enjoy Jacques.

Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.

Thank you!

Atom Heart Mother: one of my favourite pieces of music...

This room is also my working place at home, and all of my B&O is here. One day I'll show you the other side!

Cheers!

Well they are double-glazed windows, only one side is broken. 'Still have to fix that alright! Unsure

Maybe a bit younger... My first album was The Dark Side, in my early teens! Children at the university nonetheless... They don't like Pink Floyd music! Sad

Just a question: I have treble loss with the long cables running from the Beomaster output to the Beolabs. Tha cables are 5-metre long.

With short cables of standard length, treble is restored to a normal level.

The half-height bricks around the window look nice.

What is that green circuit-board on the shelf at the first picture?
