I just recently upgraded my screen to a 34" curved model. So this is my desk setup right now.
Its in the same room as my big screen Setup, so its usually a tough choice where to game.
What are those panels for on each side of the TV

These are Basotect Absorbers, i have a couple more installed in the room. They are used to optimize room Acoustics/reverb.
You can see them in the setup posted before mine as well.
Nice desk, we have the same taste. Question though, what stand are you using for your pc?

I love your setups. Beautiful hardwood floors, no clutter. Something to aspire to.
This corner can't escape the 80's, and it never ever should
Haha amazing. That's how you do retro gaming.

New table showed up a few days ago, which "completed" our living/gaming space. Because we have a tiny apartment, we wanted a table that could be elevated when we want to eat, almost all regular sofa tables are way too low in my opinion. So we found this beautiful oak one with an electric elevator. More expensive than we woul have liked, but it's an investment I guess. Oiled it up and it's ready to rock.
As I said, small apartment so we have tried to do the best with what we got to work with. A soundbar because we don't have the space for a surround system, a 46'' Samsung TV because it's what will fit between our vitrine cabinet and wall, and the couch fits perfectly along the wall between the TV and the door to the balcony.
Also we turned our only storage room into a media closet. Because we don't have any shelves or anything anywhere else here is where all of our games, movies and books lie. Three walls covered with shelves up to the ceiling.

What TV is that? I'm in love with the non existent bezels!
Not at home at the moment, but iirc it's from the Samsung 8000 series. It's a few years old at the moment, but all the newer ones have the same styles I think!

Oh, the Speakers are a cheap little gem. Those are Epos Epic 2. Got them for 600. I love them so much though that i designed my own stands and they got a new Piano finish and terminal. The Stands and PaintShop add about 2500 to the total cost (more than 100hours of work).
Here is an before/after.

Did you do the piano finish yourself? If so I would love a small tutorial on how to do it since you appear to have done a fantastic job!

Amazing, the speaker stands make the room look 10x expensive haha. I'm just disappointed that they can't be bought

This is awesome! Very unique... first pair of white speakers I've liked and don't think look garish. And good job not overdoing the white in your HT setup/space. Very elegant.

Nice specs BUT dont you think its time to upgrade that screen?
Its so bad compared to rest of your setup.
How much those costed and from where did you get them?
I have been thinking to get some acoustic panels next to TV etc that looks good but dont know where can I start looking.
thanks for the reply.
I hate Ikea as they never do true black on most of their furniture.. just.. brown-black *shakes fist*

Yeah probably. The Besta line is pretty customizable and not too pricey

Couple of new fresh progress pics. We are about 3 months out now.
Back of lounge and breakfast terrace shaping up. A couple of rolls of kitchen materials on the floor.
View from lounge to snug area. Snug will have a smaller 4K Sony TV hooked up to Analogue NT, Apple TV and Amazon TV. It'll also be my headphone corner, Schiit Ragnarok & Yggdrasil hooked up to a pair of HiFIMAN HE-1000, fed from Tidal via Autonomic Mirage over a Crestron network.

That apartment looks amazing, I can't wait to see it when it's finished.
I'd love an apartment with a view like that, simply stunning.
Thanks! Having seen a parking lot from my two previous flats for the last 7 years, I wanted a view this time. Has been a long process to get there as I have pretty specific AV and style requirements, and this being the first flat I hired people to do the interiors for (too busy at work to do myself).
Thanks! London City

Haha, thanks! Truth to be told the only downside with a flat like this is that you can't really share the excitement with friends, as they'll inevitably think you are a bragging dick. So we are laying low, aside from anonymous places like GAF

So i also live in London, and if you bought a place, that has that view, you have more money than god.
Well done sir. Looking forward to see what you do with that space.
Nice to see other London GAF users too.

When you got a place like that, it's okay to brag. But I did not expect that the Law of Jante was actually a thing, outside of Scandinavia.

Out of curiosity, why did you not just dump the full 3100Euro's into a nice pair of white towers? Hidden gem or not, surely that's enough to have bought much better sound quality and high end aesthetics to boot.

For the US, anyone have any advice on where to get good media storage bookcases? I seem to be struggling to find anything too big to put games and movies I have in. IKEA seems to have some stuff but most others seem to have small stuff.

Primarily, because I didn't have to pay as much. (Just Materials and a large donation to his seawater fishtank). It's just what they are worth. My father in law works as a master Carpenter and we made this "our" project. Thats why it carries the silver plate with our names on it.
For 3000 Cash i sure as hell would have bought different Speakers.
