Aluminium forever ! ;-)
BeoNut since '75
trackbeo:If someone showed me this layout in the abstract (corner positions, room connection, nearby wall reflections), I would be quite surprised that it sounded decent at all! Guess it's a testament to the radiation pattern of the acoustic lens. Your choice to swap the 18's to the front L/R makes good sense to me, as does moving the 19 out of the corner. Sorry I cannot help with your question, but I wanted to post to say I *love* your matching polished aluminum "BeoLamps" -- it's as if Ross Lovegrove had waltzed through the room, waved his hands and done a Uri Geller, bending the lamps to his wishes! (Now there would be a worthy successor to David Lewis; imagine what the BL50 *could* have looked like...)
Millemissen:Assuming that your Essence is a 2nd Gen, just connect that to your network somewhere, where it fits (preferedly hardwired) and set it up as an integrated device of the Avant. This way you can reach it directly via the Avant/the X-app. Look here for inspiration: http://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/28374/223554.aspx If you fancy that - you could connect a turntable to the line in and play vinyl on your Avant setup. You could also place it somewhere else in the house and connect an S3 (as an example) to it to play music - in a hall or a guestroom. Plug the ir-eye in to it for convenience. When you then connect it to the Avant, you can reach the (some of) its sources from there. I wish you happy playing.....and playing music ;-) P.S. If not already done, you really should make a Speakers Group with the two BL3’s by that chair. Sitting there listening to music will be like having giant headphones ;-))) MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.
Peter the Biker:My small square collection ... Bottle opener, USB stick hidden in a CD case mock-up, CDs: Benny Chavez, Open Mind, Duets, Blu-ray: Les Misérables.

What’s the Duke Ellington album?
?
Fnabdog:?
That was quick – thank you!
Beautiful - reminds me of an Eames house – and I love the Swan chairs.(Not to mention that idyllic view)
How refreshing to see a photo in which the owner has clearly spent more on the house than the hi-fi :-)

Sorry Michael – I can’t seem to get my replies to associate with the posts to which I am replying. Anyway the house I liked was Rudi’s at this link (I hope!)

Sorry again – I’m either suffering from extreme déjà vu or have developed a late (though nonetheless acute) stutter 😬

Hi CB - I can't understand the bit in brackets - 'Extirpated' means 'destroyed' or 'obliterated' (?)
"More light"

Very stylish fnabdog. Is it a showroom?
Love the contrast with the red Panton heart chair.
Kromer: Very stylish fnabdog. Is it a showroom? Love the contrast with the red Panton heart chair.
Hi Kromer,
Thank you very much!
No – not a showroom but part of my (obsessively minimal) home on the south coast in England.
I’m delighted that you recognised the chair but then again, Verner Panton is a compatriot of yours 🇩🇰
Best regards – Alan

It means I took it out of the depths of the closet, and certainly not destroyed
Sorry for the bad translation... I corrected my original post

CB: @MrRoast & Fnabdog Beautiful photos!
Thank you CB!
btw, I noticed your logo; what’s this “Cloud Appreciation Society“? – Sounds a bit nebulous to me :-)
Okay okay – crappy joke I admit – but it was quick !
Thanks @CB!
@Fnabdog - lovely system, you need some white vinyl to play on the BG1200!
Fnabdog:what’s this “Cloud Appreciation Society“?
Have a look there (certainly nebulous dudes!) : https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/manifesto/
Ha! What a wonderfully frivolous idea– love it !
