 Hopefully, barring accidents I will finally get to have a zero spend year. |

Great kit, great setup, nice busy rack!
I'd have all of those bits slot in my system quite easily, I'd imagine we have fairly similar presentation preferences. The logans are special.
Awesome stuff.

Thanks guys, yeah it do sound damn good, somehow probably more by luck than judgement I've ended up with 3 sources that are on par with each other.
The resultant sound is clean, fast, rich and holographic, with superb, tight, nuanced bass, textured mids and open non-fatigueing hf.
Never thought I'd achieve this level of SQ when I got back into the hobby/obsession back in 2016. Barring possibly an MFA Baby Ref V2 (will try one if my MB845SEs sell) I can't see anything sub £6k making any meaningful difference, and I ain't spending that sort of wedge on a piece of kit.

Hopefully, barring accidents I will finally get to have a zero spend year. Looking absolutely fantastic, and clearly sounding amazing, however....... famous last words from so many of us.... "I will finally get to have a zero spend year"!!  |

Good stuff. Pleased for you, John, that your hifi trials and tribulations are hopefully over.
Just one note of concern... the left speaker, sunlight directly on it? Tends to degrade the mylar stat film. But probably ok as it comes in at a grazing angle and maybe net curtains as well?

For degradation they're a bit hardier than Quads (mylar isn't as thin) but still best practice to be out of direct sunlight (mine never see a single ray! haha). |

Curtains open for pic, usually keep curtain nearest speaker closed.  |

Looks good though that TV spoils it for me (so high...) and the cables..... |

Hopefully, barring accidents I will finally get to have a zero spend year. Have you ever thought about using longer interconnects for the monoblocks, and shorter speaker cable? Obviously moving the Amps closer to the speakers to do so. |

SCs are 1.5m so pretty short, only other place for the Nords is over by the side walls. If behind speakers then would be in the way for CD/record access as gap not that big between speakers and racks.
