Hello everybody,
i'm expecting to get the (new to me) speakers by next month and really wanted to make the listening room less of a clutter. At the moment i use a Target audio rack on the right side of the system with a huge Ikea book case that holds up my curved samsung 55" TV. the whole idea since i won't be needing so many separate pieces of gear is to change the look of the TV/listening room (which also just happens to be our living room)
The expected speakers will most likely be exactly where the book shelves now are. The subwoofer (under the tripod lamp) and the audio rack on the side will be removed.
Here's a picture of what the living room looks like. (Please note the basik TT is next to the red lamp)
Ideally we’d like to have a small console that can hold up our curved TV so that it can go closer to the wall. the only equipment that will remain is our beloved ADSM/3, the linn Basik TT, a dvd player and the Netgear gs-108 network switch. there is also a Panamax surge protector that caters only to video equipment (might even be removed completely) additionally i have stand up wifi router, a stand up tmobile range extender (shitty cell phone reception at home) and an apple tv4K.
since id rather wait to surprise you guys with what integrated speakers im getting and not jinx the deal lets just say that i won't need any amps and they deserve to be the focal point of the room. hence the dilemma of changing things around. after my projected expenses on the speakers i can't really spend thousands of dollars on a beautiful console like the BDI octave etc but maybe you guys could suggest some ideas. i've really looked at all possible photos but can't make up my mind on what might be right.
This is presently what i like most (its no audiophile console) so that the Adsm/3 and the Turntable can be kept on top of the console just below where the TV's bottom edge will be.
The idea is to not use the side shelves and drill holes in the back so that the side areas can be used to hold the standup wifi router & tmobile range extender etc. the three shelves could hold the dvd player, the panamax surge protector and maybe even the apple tv/ amazon fire tv. the other depending own the depth the right side could hold the few records i have. we like that it has adjustable feet (our rental apt does not have 100% straight suspended wooden flooring) to keep the rack leveled. The gap below the main console will house my distrobox in the centre under the cabinet.
I WOULD REALLY REALLY WELCOME ANY IDEAS YOU GUYS HAVE.
