A few pics of my current setup.
You need more vinyl
But a nice cabinet. A suggestion would be to try and put the amp in the center (not the center line of the cabinet), this would give a better visual balance. At the moment it is kid of heavy on the left side.

The bedroom
Finally got the bedroom system done. Done as much as it can be called done keeping in mind the constant need to change things around.
Receiver is my recently refurbed SX-1010 (all recapped, upgraded some transistors and put LEDs in it), Carver SD/A-450 CDP, Bic BeamBox tunable antenna, Pioneer PL-707 with Shure M97xe and homemade dust cover. Speakers are some Boston T830 3-ways that I scored at the dump (aka free). They needed reconing and I upgraded the caps with the Dayton polys. Speaker wires are just 12 gauge generic stuff covered in braided material with gold pins on the ends.
I'm lovin' it and the wife is quite tolerant. She even said she likes the wood finish on the speakers.

I made some major changes to my system and room this afternoon, and thought new pics might be appropriate. Namely, I built and installed acoustic panels, and bass traps, moved my record collection in, and installed a subwoofer. What a difference the bass traps and panels made

The Before Photos
After a few years of being a studio/practice/gear storage space, this room is in the process of going back to it's original purpose... ...solely, a listening room. :yes:
The computer is for squeezing analog onto 44.1 disc, only and is kept powered down usually when not serving that purpose. A Pioneer SA-7500 (used as a preamp) is out of service at the moment rendering the working SAE Mark IIIA power amp useless. The Sony, whatever it is, is standing in while I decide between fixing the SA-7500 or building Bottlehead gear. If I can build a better crossover/mod the big KLH's, they may make it back to the room. For now, these little EPI's are pleasing and not overpowering.
The Technics SL-M3 is taking a break while I transcribe some lps. It is fully functional and a wonderful deck. Gutted old guitar amps provide extra LP storage, for now. (I need to "Ikea".)
The second of two, 4-shelf LP towers.
This is the first of the two LP towers and currently where my "glass" is.
The rest of the room is still littered with guitars, amps, a pedalboard, cables, loose paperwork, more crates of lps, stacks of CDs, etc. and I'm not going to torture anyone with that. Bad enough I have to look at it...

NO NO!, That's really cool!
Thank God for a wife who can sew. I just gave her the dimensions and she went to work, even made a matching window curtain.
Solid oak cabinets! I tweaked and soldered; but those amps really sucked. Horrible tone. LOL!!! I have the more powerful head versions of those amps which sound pretty good for lead stuff. Other than that, I'll stick with the usual, Marshall, Vox, Fender (or their clones, wink, wink...)
