My main system has pretty much run rampant in our living room, making it more of a listening room, so a couple of years ago when we built a new sun room on our house it became my wife's sanctuary. So when I snuck into the room with a sound system it had to be discrete, blend well with the decor, and fit on non-audiophile-approved shelves. The result is this little system with a Luxman SQ-N100 integrated, a Squeezebox Touch feeding a PS Audio Nuwave dac, a refurbished AR XA turntable (it was my dad's, so more a labor of love than for the sound), PSB Imagine Mini speakers, and baby REL T-5 to flesh out the bottom a little. The sound is definitely not the most detailed and revealing, but has a very pleasing tonal balance and good soundstage, and blends reasonably well with the room. It's great for quiet classical or jazz listening while enjoying a relaxing Sunday morning hanging out with my wife reading, or lurking on AA.

Very nice! I'm sure she appreciates having some music in her sanctuary.

Tony.......You managed to squeeze the system in very nicely. The room is lovely and the low key sound system is not a detraction. Good job.

Nice system match for that sun room. The view of the yard is great. Just love that part of the country. I lived in Oregon for a number of years. I still miss it.
Enjoy

I agree with the other posters. Beautiful room, and a nicely put together system that does accomplish your goal of keeping it discrete. Well done!
