Email sent

Thank you, thank you

Doc, your HM gave you the green light to build a dedicated HT room. What are you waiting for (apart from the funding)?


Tq Btw, your 'acoustic items' are with me. Got it today

Beautiful set up, nyquil.

Nice nyquil.. 2 thumbs... any pic of you rear and seating arrangement?

Spaghetti junction.

nyquil,

Thanks bewdiful!!!

Wowsome! nicely done & then paint goes well with the entire setup. It should be cost a bomb .. maybe a nuke.

10 thumbs up nyquil

Beginning of new year, and already added Naim Audio kits into the family.

Below sharing my Entry-level and humble 2-in-1 set-up, HT cum Hifi.

Time to change to ProAc lah to partner your Naims

That's good idea and considering an action plan in coming year too

BTW, at the back of my mind, I have 2 brands, either the entry level ProAc or the Triangle to pair with my Naims

You come and audition first before making decision

2 high-end audiophiles came over on Sun to test songs. I played Manger CD first since I knew their systems well. They thought I am using sub to extend the bass They were surprised when I showed them that no sub being connected to it.

klimal (came in during the audition) also got poisoned

Come and judge for yourself. Don't trust my words

I don't get it. While I am sure this setup will perform fine for HT but IMO, you have not fully explore what these equipments could do when it comes to Hi Fi stereo playback. It's like buying a HDTV and using it for Standard Definition program. In Hi Fi, one of many desirable thing is soundstage imaging of which my guess is, this setup has minimal from the way you placed your speakers. IMO, these equipments could perform much better when it comes to soundstaging than what you are getting now.

My 2 sen.

Bro, did WongKN come to your place to test your stereo set-up?


Sure I will try best to make a trip down to Seremban in March to test them to see how "floating" is the sound. And also, line up an entry level spkr from Triangle. Wanna to hear what is its characteristic different from ProAc. And most importantly to hear your dual sub set-up

Added on January 18, 2011, 9:20 amBro, advice me how to place the spkrs then

Well, if I were put away my HT set-up I would have placed the spkrs these way too. They are 2-feet from rear wall and 3-feet from side. Well, some would like to locate their spkrs much forward. I find mine is ok as long as it does not produce boomy bass. So far, imaging has been well floating in between and instruments like drums are from back wall, well extended the wall, thanks to the capability of Naim. Care has been taken to angle the spkr so that imaging is right dead on center.

I invited him but he is busy lately. All is not lost since a pair will be going to the GrandMaster and sifus to test out at Poison Den soon. The GrandMaster used to sell this brand decade ago. It's a long story.

When he knew about Triangle came back, he's excited and eager to hear it again. We chat about it last week when I was there. So, we shall see how the arrangement goes.

htkaki, one thing for sure when you bring in these Triangle speakers is they seem to lure more audiophiles than AV kaki .

It will be my best interest to see a Naim combo to drive up these speakers, especially the entry level one.

My Naim Int amp/cdp have been running in couple of days, and the sound is getting warmer and more opener each day! I slowly get to feel Naim's true characteristic as it communicates music as lively as possible as a whole. It is just like a group of band performing live in front of you. Every instruments have pace and space in between. When I first spin the cdp, I thought the cd is spinning faster than my previous NAD! There is a sense of high & low sound wave (not flat) which make any cd listening a thrill.

I know ProAc pair well with them but wont hesitate to open door to Triangle. We shall see.

WongKN is a fan of ribbon speakers. Our boxy stuff won;t suite him anyway.

Sorry, I don't use box speakers so am a newbies with box speaker's placement. But I had visited Hi Fi kaki's room and I hardly see them place it the way you do, hence my earlier comment.

But if you were to google, you will find huge numbers of article on this subject. Most of the time, what is best for stereo reproduction aren't exactly what the Misses wanted for aesthetic reason.
