Great setup, George. Love those speakers; they go really well with the decor and I bet they sound wonderful driven by the Od’A.

I had enough trouble with the 803s those Vivid Audios would expensively spell out D I V O R C E. I am sure they sound superb and they do seem to fit stylistically into your room though.

Thanks.
They do sound wonderful.
Not the ideal room for music.
It gives me pleasure.

A very nice system George.

I visited a Hifi show in the UK a couple of years ago. In one room Devialet were demonstrating the then very new 1000 Pro with Vivid Giya G2's. I spent quite a lot of time listening to this system, it was clear and detailed, and yet at the same time it was big, powerful, and "magnificent" sounding. Certainly one of the best sounding systems at the show that year. (and there was a lot of good stuff there) So a very similar set up to your own, I can just imagine how it sounds.

I also like the Magnum Dynalab Tuner. Nothing to do with sound quality, although I believe they do sound good, it's just that I get this fizzy feeling whenever I see something with VU meters, I am not sure why...

One question. I am quite interested cylindrical room treatment devices that you have in the back corners. Most products of this type are very intrusive, but these are quite subtle. Can you advise what they are exactly, and if you think they improve the acoustics of your room?

@Confused :
Thanks Brian, i must say it does sound good.
Wrt the treatment, these were bass traps that were in my HT, and after some equipment changes there(HT), didn't need them.
Moved them to this room. They are filled with some foam, not sure what.
Helped to even out the LF's. Otherwise it was in some ways tending towards being overpowering.
Hardly using SAM atm.
It does have a "big" sound.
The Magnum does sound good too.
Currently playing around with a Valve audio Whisper phonostage as well.

Beautiful system George.
You must also upload some pics of the bedroom system with the Sonus Faber Olympica III, Devialet D-Premier and the Pass Labs. That is an equally good looking (and I bet sounding) system.

Made by a local manufacturer, Sound Structures.
Makes it to spec.
He makes some really high end stands, this is kind of mid fi.
