Dual's system

Very cool and classy! Looks like something out of a magazine from the 60's..I love the vibe :thmbsp:
 
It may be bad form but I'm hitting this because of extensive changes since the original post in 2011.


So, have you already made the changes or the changes will be coming? Either way, you got a fabulous listening room. If changes will be coming soon, I can't wait to see what you've done.

Now that would be a nice place to relax with some good music! :music:
 
Why update the first post? It kind of invalidates what others replied... and we can't see progress made ;)
Can you consider to restore the OP and post the update as a reply?
 
Think you can dirty it up a little?
I'd feel like some kind of fiend shaking my ass around in such a clean room.
You have an air shower on the way in?

Kidding dude, sweet environs!
 
Wow, very nice, I could only dream of a room like this.. Love the taste of decor..

I am wondering how the speaker height works out in that room, perhaps it's just the pictures but they look pretty high up for a sitting position..

Bet it sounds perfect standing and moving about the room but how does it sound sitting and relaxing?

The vertical position of the speakers was a compromise, for sure. Fortunately the NS1000's are not beamy. Everything sounds good at the seated listener's position.
