Very smart Tom! Looks great!

I think it looks particulary impressive with covers off. I hope to have a setup like this one day. Hope you enjoy your system.

It`s a dream it`s out of reach

Yup, definitely covers off for me. Looks good!

I think covers look better when off aswell, but the Mrs doesn't like it... so I guess they have to stay on, especially seeing as she bought the amp and speakers for me for xmas!

Sorry to disappoint you, but no.... however, I have a sister who will look exceptional on your arm (MCN babe and promo girl) but she will bleed you dry and leave you for the next one that comes along with more money.... lol

PS. I agree with the consensus here........... definitley covers off. They look fantastic!!

Those speakers are just too beautiful to be hidden away. You can easily miss them with the covers on. Nice neat setup ;)

Leave them off. Would be a crime to cover such a work of art.
Many thanks

Re: Pictures of my kit... what do you think?

Tom, what do those Monitor Audios sound like without the sub running?  Ok or not?  Am looking at some new speakers but can't decide whether I can get away with floorstanders in a small front room or if i should bother with sub.

If you are going to exclude the sub you should definately look at the BR5 floorstanders instead. The BR2s are good, but for the action scenes, you really miss the sub when it's not there.
