Man, I love those backgrounds on your monitors. Got any links to them?

The desk, the monitors, the entire setup is [H]. Can you link the video that shows the desk performing its magic?
Did you make it yourself or buy it from some somewhere?
I would be interested in knowing.
Haven't updated any of my UPDATES in a while....
Here's the latest....
Can you list parts? as its 0.0 awesome.
I love the Solo6 BE's....
Prior to getting these I had run extended tests with the following monitors:
Dynaudio MC15 (basically a BM5A Compact), BM6A MkII, and Focal CMS50.
Both Dynaudio monitors had a very similar tonality to them, only real difference was that the BM6A MkII sounded bigger and more powerful compared to it's smaller brother.
The Focal CMS50 is a very enjoyable speaker and IMO sounds more fluid and neutral compared to the Dynaudio's. It certainly doesn't have that famous mid-bass hump that the Dynaudio's have - and as such sounds more musical, yet remaining very capable as a recording/mixing speaker.
The Focal Solo6 BE on the other hand takes all the good from the CMS50 and turns it on it's head!
The 6 BE is quite a step up in both power and sonic capability.
Neutral and transparent are the two words that come to mind with this speaker.
With the right equipment in front of them, the Solo6 BE's are extremely fast and dynamic, yet completely get out of the way of the music. They are simply capable of incredible levels of resolution (read: very honest speakers), yet are not harsh at all.
I will be living with these for a good long while
BTW my pair were flown in from the UK, as getting the Limited Edition Black finish is impossible to find here in Canada, and there's only one re-seller in the US that I'm aware of.

Thanks for your thoughts! I think I may be picking up a pair for my main rig soon.
Now I just have to choose a DAC/Preamp/Headphone amp unit...

one of them I cut up a bit for the 5 monitor setup
@vagabond142...nice big work space and trip monitors and has my kinda look - usable and used - instead of Better Homes and Gardens
I've owned an HP ZR24w for almost 3 1/2 years now. I bought a used one today for $130. It's in better condition that my monitor (way less backlight bleed). I'm thinking about buying one more. Is anyone else still using a ZR24w?
oh, and here is my trusted 21" Sony Trinitron which I have on a dual PIII 1000mhz Abit with a 3Dfx 5500 that I still use (ahhh...the good 'ol days)
Where did you find a used one for 130? If you dont mind sharing....
@RangerXML
If I tried to carry that bad boy at my age my back would go out.
I'm amazed people still use CRT monitors, we can't even give them away at work, we have scrapped about 50 over the summer.
