And several feet of monster or other cable that resembles romex. Nonetheless, the Kef look great!

Actually Volks' setup looks so clean that anything else would look like a rats nest when compared to it.

True...

Volks,
Nice pics telling a story. Setup looks great. I think I'll go love me some Diana Krall.

A most gorgeous system VOLKS - truly one to be proud of

I have been enjoying your system photographs and have noticed that your left speaker seems to get a lot of sunlight on it. I collect antique radios and the finish on some of them has been damage by constant exposure to sunlight - the finish gets "bleached-out.” I just wanted to give you a “heads-up” as I do not know if your KEFs have a lot of sunlight on them during the day. I would not want to see the awesome finish of these beasties damaged in any way.

Don’t be shy to share more photos with us

Be well…

Not audio...but hey....

2010 VW Passat CC Wagon

..and just think, I could have had a nice set of 28B SST2 and a pair of KEF 207/2s for about the same money...what am I thinking

Don't have it yet (ordered), but am dipping my toe into computer-based audio with the HRT Streamer II+. Plan to encode some CDs in iTunes Apple Lossless and see how it goes. May start using Pure Music and exploring 24/96 downloads if all goes well. Wish me luck!

Lordy!........that is the 1st time i have ever actually noticed the sun on the left speaker!....I just turned the blinds up the other way and bang...no sun on the left speaker at all!............wow thank you so much for noticing that!........and to think that you noticed it from a Photo! Awsome...thanks again Laundrew

Yeah, you wouldn't want that finish to get faded out. Ruins the resale value and that.

Hi,

Yes its a pretty little thing...its the new Ultravalve Amp from AVA. I know this is a Bryston circle, and dont mean to influence anyone, just wanted to share the joy of this new tubular 'toy'!! (35 watts / channel).

All the best
