Can I ask where that desk is from? I'm looking for a large corner desk for a home office and that looks ideal.

Long since defunct store I think - for some reason MFI comes to mind, but I don't think it was. Good desk though

They can't sound very good positioned on a desk like that.

You need some proper nearfield monitors

To my (untrained) ears they sound pretty good - front ported so no 'boom' that I can distinguish, and decent stereo imaging. Dare I ask what I would be missing?

Looking at the positioning:

Quite close (if not right up against?) a wall = significant bass reinforcement.

Sitting close to speakers intended to be 2m+ away from the listener = imbalanced sound.

At a guess, I would suggest that you have a sound that is lacking in mid range.

Because the speakers are against a wall, the bass will be emphasised, and because you sit so close to them, the treble will be emphasised.

I'm guessing the bass reinforcement compensates for the excess treble - however - as I said above - it's probably the mid range that's suffering for it.

The positioning also suggests that you probably have some weird stereo effects too.

But *most* importantly - if you're happy with the sound - what does it matter?

However, I'm willing to bet that if you placed them on a decent pair of stands, about 50cm from the wall - you'll be surprised at what you've been missing.

Here's my little cave;



TV's will be on far wall when I get a chance to sort out some damp and plastering.



Complete with happy little guard dog!

Do you realise you left a couple of bags of 'herbs' on display?

I have no idea who he is. The baldy chap opposite isn't Kyle Glass and the face on the TV could be anyone... Whatever rubbish is on at 6am!

Is that dog real? If so, how the hell did (s)he get up there?

I lifted her up. She'll spend hours staring out of the window.

Here's mine - couple of 'Big-Wigs' over from head office so a bit of a dark atmosphere!



Still, can't complain, at 5pm I'm on a shuttle outta here - got a weeks holiday booked at some resort called Alderaan!

[beko1987]

Mine is the left side, with the coffee machine. Laptop soon hopefully about to go from XP 32bit to Win7 64b, with some more RAM from my own pocket!

My new surgery room for placing implants, shamelessly showing off the lovely Dr Mach 130,000 lux LED operating light with focus and depth control (each to their own eh?).
