For this week's #MacroMonday submission for the theme #sound, I decided to go with a "product shot." This is a 3" section of a 6" Klipsch Reference Series copper-coned woofer.
My keyboard, monitor and the green glow of my Klipsch 2.1 speakers pumping out Groovesalad from Somafm.

A product test shot of my Klipsch T5 Wireless Earphones. I decided to play around with the lighting quite a bit before settling on the idea of a "full spectrum" of light, to convey the idea of a "full spectrum" of audio.
My new amp from Line Magnetic. 22 watts per channel, Single Ended Triode design, Pure Class A with 845 output power tubes.
A perfect match to the Heresies.
This is my side of our home office (best viewed - large).... Almost exactly five years ago I took another photo of what my desk looked like and what kinds of technology I was using at home. Well it's been five years and I just retired most of what I was using... now I'm an Apple convert and my home setup is much simpler (it's amazing the cabling that was pulled out, and how quiet things are... will be interesting to see if the power bill drops).
Click Here to see a close up version of what's on my desk.
Basically I have two computers, a desktop, laptop and a third machine functioning as a storage server. They are networked together by an HP ProCurve 8 port gigabit ethernet switch, with a Linksys WRT54GS running Tomato and functioning as a dedicated firewall and router and an Airport Extreme serving up wireless internet access.
This is just a fantastic setup for doing just about any photographic related computer task one could think of... It's wonderful to edit with this hardware and setup. Aside from the Mac Pro which is lighting fast, the real treat is seeing images on the amazingly accurate and sharp 30" NEC display, this monitor is quite a bit above and beyond the Apple Cinema Display (as well as the Dell and HP offerings).
On Switching to Mac: I've been a Microsoft user since MS-DOS 3.3 and have worked professionally as a server engineer and systems designer for Microsoft Servers for approx. 15 years, and Microsoft has come a long way... some of their newest offerings are darn impressive. But the reality is for me, at home... I want something that is simple, powerful and is best geared for photography. Additionally I wanted something that was simpler and doesn't result in me having to rebuild the system once a year or so because of something silly happening.
I've been half switched for a bit more than three months and so far it's been fantastic... there is a bit of a learning curve and somethings are kind of annoying, but overall it's been wonderful and the most enjoyable computing experience of my life. Besides, if I really need to run Windows I have Windows 7 Ultimate running in side a VMWare virtual machine.

What's Next:
Next year I plan to add a few more things to the mix... including
Data Expansion - Adding a OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 quad bay external drive array with four 3TB Hard Drives. Will be used for data backup.
Second Monitor - Will be adding either a 22" or 24" secondary NEC monitor, which will make layout and album design work a bit nicer.
Software: I want to point out that 100% of the software that is run on these systems has been paid for and is all legal like. This wasn't always the case but I do like knowing that it's all legit ... I think it's highly hypocritical for photographers or other content creators to complain about someone stealing their images or using images without their permission if they use pirated or not properly licensed software.

Tinkering around with various movies (Finding Nemo above) as I tweak settings and learn the functions of this lovely addition to our home theatre experience.
Yes those are Klipsch SB-1s on either side of the TV.
Let the movies commence!
A view looking the other direction. The doors straight on are the pocket doors which slide into the walls on either side. Along the walls at the bottom are the wall-hangings which I have not yet had a chance to hang.

Two worlds. High efficiency (Klipsch RF7 mk2- 101 dB) and ESL Loudspeakers (Martin Logan Sequel II- 89 dB). Each of the qualities and disadvantages.
For klipsch: an old Marantz PM6, 2 x 30 Watts RMS class A.
For Martin Logan: 2 Crown XTI 2002 and 1002 with active biamplification with a Behringer Crossover. Martin Logan requires a big big power ( 2x 800 Watts and 2x 500 Watts:/ 4 Ohms.

So yeah, these are most of the speakers I had in my apartment by this summer...
So the total list of equipment...
Speakers:
Infinity Renaissance 90
Infinity Kappa 8
Polk Monitor 7
Klipsch KG 2
Infinity RS-5 (1987) (visible in TV reflection)
Amps:
Carver C-11 pre-amp
Carver TFM-15CB x3 (one not shown)
Adcom GFA-555
Marantz 1040 integrated
Sources:
NAD 5325 CD player w/ upgraded caps
Carver TX-11 tuner
Dual CS 505-1 turntable (not shown)
My main system now is the Renaissance 90s (R90s for short) bi-amped with the Adcom (325 wpc rms at 4 ohms, stable to 1 ohm) on bottom and one of the Carver TFM-15CBs (150 wpc rms at 4 ohms) on top (the Carver C-11 as the pre). The R90s are so power hungry that when I tried just the Adcom, as I used the Kappa 8s, there was almost no bass whatsoever. With them biamped (90% of the time biamping is useless, especially with receivers) and utilizing the gain control on the Carver, they outperform the Kappas in every way imaginable.
Here's Floorstanding Speakers by Rating on audioreview.com. Note what is first with the most unanimous 5-star ratings out of any speaker....
Technical specs for the here.
Unfortunately the NAD CD player seems to be dead after moving - I may be able to resurrect it, but I'm really due for a CD player with a remote anyway. Actually, after ripping all of my CDs to FLAC I may just go the music server route...
Anyway, all of this is in storage while I'm in Sweden - except the Polks which my brother Eric is using, and the Klipsch & Marantz, which my dad is buying off me.
You can see a small portion of my CDs and records to the left of the Marantz. Oh, and there's a few DVD players that I don't have anymore either. The Sony there had analog 5.1 outs, so I had a HT system set up for a little while. I'm really a stereo guy though...

This was made during the Alice Cooper show last July at Klipsch Music Center in Indiana This image is of Nita Strauss, guitarist for his band. This is my favorite image from his set and was made with a Canon SX510 HS point and shoot camera as I'm not allowed to bring my dslr into the venue. Oh well, I can still make good images with any camera.
