Looks like you have made a few more trips to Ikea? Nice looking room. How are the KEF's handling the tight quarters?

Poang!!!
It's a 10x9x8 room and very difficult to get good sound in. This appears to be just about right with the LS50's.

I love basements. Always have. I love old houses too for that matter. Well done. :thmbsp:

Some of you guys have a funny idea of small!
I'm thinking of giving up on this idea, not very practical.

Dig those DIY speaker stands!

That looks to be a very tough area to tame. Looks like you gave it your all.

Sweet set up jaymo. I am close to purchasing a Luxman L-505uX myself. That L-507u must sound amazing:thmbsp:
My favorite integrated amp's.

Thanks, much appreciated! The 507 does sound great indeed. I keep thinking I want to upgrade but then I audition something else and I realize it just ain't gonna get any better for the outlay in cash. My stay put amp!
Listened to the 505 a number of times - same sonic family as the 507. Wonderful amp.

I also like the Blade Runner poster! Also one of my choices for best sci-fi film.
I made my own posters of this iconic film. Using a high resolution digital camera on a tri-pod, I ran the movie (blue ray)to get to the exact scene or frames that I wanted and paused the movie to the spot I desired. Snapped the shot I wanted and went to costco and had them print the shot on a poster the size I wanted. You want to do this in a totally dark room and on a good flat screen tv.
The opening shots of the city with all the lights and plumes of fire make for a really cool poster that I've never seen available before.
Of course you can do this to any movie that you like to give your space a one of a kind look.

Your main speakers seem to be mounted unusually high. Tweeters at ear level is the norm.Finally "finished" with the current 10x12 room and system configuration (my "two-seater coupé" listening room):
The homemade OC703 panels in the front are 2" thick and the ones in the back are 6". The "rack" is something I picked up at Lowe's and used a pipe cutter to get down to the height I wanted- it's probably not the best at isolation/dampening, but it's great for ventilation. I wanted something metallic because of the TV screen frame. Oh and did I mention it was fairly cheap? The chairs? Not so cheap! With the new in-walls, it is an 8.1 system (2 front height speakers but only 1 surround back in addition to the five "mains"). Pay no mind to the dry-wall boo-boo next to the left height speaker where a drain pipe (not picked up by the stud scanner!) prevented putting the speaker there. Room is calibrated (with MCACC in the SC-79 and with the Anti-mode) for the right hand chair, so guess where I usually sit while listening!

Now THIS looks to be close to the Decware formula ratios that I've been intrigued by for so long.

my space is a 18'x15' living room w/ an archway leading to the dinning room. It's furnished w/ a poofy couch about 9' from main speakers which are the Polk SDA 2B. The rest of the speakers are spred left and right. My H/T is a 40'' Toshiba, Klipsch #500 smalls w/ rears hung @ 5' behind the couch and the fronts are there in between the albums and center is middle rack shelf w/ the sub hidden behind the right side speaker array.
