...Back wall are a little more then 5 meter. length is 8 meter...
W O W Congratulations, Kjell! You lucky guy. And daring to be a front runner, buying such expensive loudspeakers from a dealer abroad. Respect! And I am lucky too, because now I have a chance to hear them in a living room similar to my own. They are even painted white as mine loudspeakers. The NOS1 upgrade is of course on my schedule, just waiting for the queue to slim down. The Orelo, however, was only a distant dream. Until now...  |

If I were an audiophile, I would not take a job that's 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off and have speakers and such arrive 2 days before the on job (now tell that we were a bit late with the delivery  ) I wish you luck with being out for 6 weeks !  Peter |

Timing is not bad, all is up and running and my family can use the sound system while I am away. Something extra to look forward to in about 5 weeks. |

Hey Kjell, well done on your design choice(s). The first thing my wife said was that yours look much better than mine. But I think she was referring to the whole look and feel of your room - very, very nice indeed.
I also went for a minimalist approach and originally had the PC and NOS1a in my basement. But right now they're both in my main room, as I test a few things out. I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to return the PC to the basement, but depending on my interconnect findings this week, I may have to keep the NOS1a in the main room. We'll see...
Mani.

Last night my wife did use the system for the first time. (while I am away on work) and guess what, she was sitting up for hours just playing different kind of music, but mostly jazz and opera as I understood. I think you have done a very good choice buying this system she told me; it sounds so very good!!  Just wanted to share |

Hi Kjell, Those words of your wife are the perfect complement for an audiophile. Even for those who are not as lucky as you, those words should come in a recording with each new component as an extra for the perfect happiness. Just an idea Juan |
