I finally rearranged my living room and moved some audio stuff into place. Notice the decadent $20 Home Depot stand I put together today.

That's the glory of it all - if or when they decide to move to a bigger place, they got it covered. Until then, I'm sure they keep the volume at a reasonable level and don't mind the stuff that self-proclaimed audiophiles would complain about in that setup.

Not at all.. probably an ideal sized room really. Can go to reference levels without distorting. People grossly overestimate how well a speaker is really filling a room, its like how people think bose sounds loud so it sounds good, but in reality theyre distorting like crazy. $10,000 speakers do the same when placed in too big of a room, they begin to distort and lose their cool, becoming way less clear and harsh. They just arent designed to handle it until you have very efficient drivers and lots of them.

Frank,
Nice audio set up you have there. If you don't mind me asking, does the subwoofer of your Klipsch HD 500 hum when there is no signal being fed to it or when it is in standby? I used to have this same set that I bought from Newegg and ended up returning it because I could hear the subwoofer humming big time when the room was quiet. It just drove me nuts. I thought that it was a ground loop problem but nope, I did all the checks that I could find on the web and the humming was still there. The weirdest thing was my brother-in-law also has the same set that he bought from Best Buy and guess what, his sub hums, too. Therefore, I wonder if either my brother-in-law and I are unlucky with our sets or that the humming is a problem inherent to the design of the HD 500 subwoofer. Thanks for any information you can provide.
Well this is nice!
I pretty much love everything about your setup here...
Lots of desktop real estate... check
Isolated KRK monitors... check
AKG 'phones... check
Fubar IV... check
Ikea desk... check
Awesome little keyboard... check
My friend, you have good taste in fun stuff!
My grado SR225i's and AKG-Q701's are missing from these photos... they're hanging out in my living room on the entertainment system in there.
This is not the final product... I still need to change a few things and do some room treatments... sound diffusers, foam, all that good stuff.

The equipment is in the sig.
