I just moved. I had a different thread but my screen name changed. It was my 2 channel setup in my bedroom and projector setup in the living room of the old place. I sold the projector setup for something better and I will have 2 seperate systems independent of each other in one big room. The room is 20 feet x 20 feet with 10 ft. high ceilings and I have a lot of work to do yet still. This room will probably see a surround sound/projector setup also (the Dynaudio Sapphires will remain 2 channel only...they were in my bedroom at my old apartment). Where the table is I'm building a bar and I'll have 2 couches (one in front of the computer lounge area...few pages back I have pics of that) and one to the right of the lounger.

Nice, clean setup with very good equipment. I just purchased my first Dyns (used 1.8's) to put in the same room as my ht to use for dedicated 2 channel listening. It worked out well. Thanks for sharing.

Better bottom end, cleaner/more balanced sound, and lowered noise floor. Naim is considered "musical" and I would agree with that. My Sapphires were a bit more forward than I wanted. With the naim dac, nordost qb8 power conditioner, naim nac a5 speaker wire, and changing my Octave v70 tubes to the Gold Lions I've got what I am after and I am satisfied.

A little update to my place (curtains..couch..):

The tv & dresser will be moved back to the bedroom when I get projector setup going.
