Guillaume's hi-fi system

[GuillaumeB]

And whilst I was at it I'd thought I'd try out the new Ultra 6s... here is a pic of them side by side with the Ansuz Diamond pucks... these have now temporarily replaced the Ansuz pucks under my totaldac d1 server. Unfortunately I could only get 3 to try as I would have liked to have tried them out under the Devialets... still, impressions to follow!

Blimey Guillaume!

What a cracking system! I bet it sounds magical.
Just one thing though: do you have any problems with the right hand speaker so close to your equipment rack?  I know that the Wilson cabinets are very inert but you must get some sounds from the drivers hitting your gear, and no amount of isolation will stop that.

Thanks!   I don't really experience any problems as such, I did do some measuring with Dirac a while back then again with the Trinnov. If I recall correctly this showed a suck out/nul on the right hand side, overall the measurements weren't too bad though. The shelves in my rack are very thick non-oscillating glass, not sure if that helps. What I do find is that de-coupling of my Devialet's seems to produce a very strong effect in my set up. 

But you are right in an idea world I would have my equipment between the speakers (or at least quite bit further away from the speakers). My constraints are the cinema screen since this doubles up as a movie room... for a while I did consider moving the spectral stand further down the room on the right hand side but this never happened for a number of reasons...
