Nice looking room & setup Tai.

And, as always Jim, outstanding work.

Hi taigovinda...

Beautiful subs there - tell us more about the veneer please?

Thx

Thanks for the comments, guys.

@Miney: The subs are bamboo with a bit of a reddish tint to it and a sturdy finish. My pictures don't do justice - they are beautiful. Jim had advised to go with veneer - which would've looked the same and saved a few dollars - but in the end I went with bamboo plywood instead. They weigh 160 lbs each; MDF (with veneer) would've been probably more like 250. Jim had forgot to take pictures before I picked them up; I sent him some that if he can clean up well enough, maybe he will end up putting one on his website.

I did see some veneered speakers while I was at his shop that were really amazing. It was pretty cool to see them partway through the process and not fully assembled; not sure how they get the veneer onto extreme curves, but they do.

Beautiful, Bigload! I think I may have seen your mains in person at the Salk shop. Awesome setup!

I had been waiting to get some treatments up before posting pics of our prized Salk based system.
When we started a gut and rebuild of an older and problematic (from an audio standpoint) basement, I had no idea it would turn out as well as it did.
Despite a 7' ceiling and a lot of reflective surfaces, it has all come together very nicely, and sounds incredible.

Extra thanks to Jim, Mary, and a great crew!

Very, very nice. But why the sound bar under the TV? Run the audio from the TV to the Salks.

Thanks! The reason is I wanted my 2-channel setup completely separated from everything else. The TV is mostly used for news, so no need for anything more. We watch TV and movies in the family room on a 120” projection system, surround sound, and dual 18” subs.

Recognize your set up; you had the Salk Silks in there before; did you sell the monitors or are you using them in another capacity? They sounded very good on your youtube posts.

What improvements to the sound are you noticing from orientation at the room corner?

There used to be a sweet pair of Silk monitors in that room!

Marbles,
I am new to this forum but have been on audiogon for years as falconquest. I am here because of Salk speakers. I am considering the HT3's but would like to hear them. I live in Michigan and would like to touch base with MaxCast. Since I'm new I really can't do anything here. Is there a chance you could facilitate me getting in touch with him? Would really like to get his thoughts on his HT3's and perhpas arrange a listening session. Thanks in advance for your help.

Mac Mini / iTunes / Bit Perfect -> Schiit Yggdrasil A1 -> Schiit Freya -> Schiit Aegir (mono) -> Veracity HT2-TL
I love my Salk speakers. I don't see myself ever upgrading/changing to something else.
Also, the photo doesn't go justice to the birdseye maple with orange dye.

I'm so in love with Salk speakers! ....

You all have wonderful setups. I wish you were our neighbors. (We get the illegal nail salon, instead.
