My God sir, that is mighty good Googling, if you only had my picture to go by and nothing else! But yes, it is andtradition. Did a sound piece for them a few months ago, and got some of their products as payment. Which suited me fine, as I had just moved and needed some lamps and stuff

Finally decided to sell off the Opals so those are gone now, and then cut down my desk. It was messing with what I was hearing in the room, and those wings out front made it too hard to play the guitar in front of the laptop. The room needed some brightening up, so I went with a natural wood grain this time, instead of my usual black
Of course that meant redoing the lower shelf and rack, though at least this time I could put the larger 3500 power conditioner on the bottom like it was supposed to be. I dorked that last time.

That chair's a little scary, though. A chair should only have so much power.

Looks like the desk can be raised. Can it also be used while standing?

They're about 300 pounds, don't think that's going to happen

I only stand while doing admin stuff or just jamming on gear for fun, all the critical listening is done sitting down.

I would actually be really interested to know what the sweet spot of these speakers are. Usually the tweeter should be around ear height. It seems that when you're sitting they're above your ear and when you're standing they're below your ear. Do they recommend where and how high to sit for the sweet spot of the speakers? High frequency content obviously varies a lot depending on where you are. They look absolutely fantastic though. Make me want to get them too.
