Title: Pretty Messy but AMAZING!
Post by litefootdan on 09/26/23 at 21:25:28



Here is my listening set up.  It is far from optimal but is astonishing, to me, to get lost in.  The large MDF cabinets are called Crystal-Menhirs and they have a very early version of the Lii-Audio Fast 10 drivers.  Sitting inside them are very early Decware HDT's!!!!  Also an incredible speaker :)  Sitting atop them are my girlfriend's T6's!!!   Two absorption/reflection panels are behind the Crystal-Menhirs but they are almost not visible.  Three more of those pannels are placed behind the listening chair.  Making 5 in total.  The panels are the ones that a very nice gentleman placed behind Randy's open baffle speakers in last year's Zenfest.  Those black tubular looking deals are Heim-Holtz resonators, called Argent Room Lenses.  A company long gone.  Behind and in the center is the heart of the show.  A decked out ZROCK2,  CSP2 with anniversary mods, and an SE84UFO25.  It is such an amazing gift to have all of these things in my life.  I know the room is not ideal, but I am not in a position to make it ideal.  I just have to wait a bit to make some changes.  It is also such a gift to have been able to meet alll the fantastic people in the Decware community and read and learn from everyone.  The Decket's are unequalled in generousity and kindness.  I built my first ZKIT1 in 2012 and have attending fests ever since.  Regrettably, I will miss this year's and it makes me sad...  But I look forward to next year and to keep myself in great energy by listening to my system!  Thank you all for having a peek.

Hello litefootdan,

Thanks for sharing a photo of your remarkable-looking setup. If it sounds as impressive as it looks, I can understand your appreciation of what you have created. Very nice.  Also, the Argent Room Lenses were new to me.  Doing a quick search, I found them reviewed here:

It seems like every day, there is something new to investigate.
