I want to marry this setup and have tiny little setups with it. So god damn gorgeous. Congratulations!!
Are you saying I should thank my wife for the absurd amount of plants we have in the room with my surround sound? Lol
I never considered their impact on sound
Theres never enough plants as long as you can walk
Does the corner orientation have a noticeable effect?
Good question, when I first set it up at 45 degrees the right speaker would have stronger low end. I slowly rotated it until the speakers sounded balanced
How do the plants affect the sound? Do they make it more “natural” or “organic”? :)
Nice!!! I go for the same strategy - lots of ficus in my room, lots of dense creepers in the corners, windowboxes full of planters. It truly does make a difference in diffusion, and it looks sooooooooo much better than traditional acoustic diffusers. Your setup is much better looking, and MUCH better sounding than mine! Cheers
I like it when I see plants without them sitting on top of the actual speakers like funny little green hats and without a giant leaf dangling right in front of the tweeter like so many people choose to do for some reason.
Beautiful setup! Must be lot of fun to listen in this environment. Enjoy your music!
Thanks! What I enjoy, if you’re interested https://tidal.com/playlist/190a9d84-11b2-49b0-90e5-691ada270a64

Heya! This setup has an HDV 820 DAC, Atoll IN100 SE amplifier, and Antal Triangle 40th Anniversary speakers. I’ve tried several different dacs with this setup, I’ve found the HDV 820 brings forward very sharp transients and highlights unexpected precision in the imaging.
The first time I had it set up I had a song come on that opens with a soft thunder, I had a sharp cognitive dissonance of "huh? The windows are closed. I was giggling like a kid when I realized I’d been briefly convinced it was the actual weather.
I have another few dozen plants around the room not in the picture, the acoustics are very clean!
Love to see Triangle getting some love! I have the Australe floors standers and they are amazing, so much fun to listen to.
Always nice to see a pair of Triangles in the wild!
I remember seeing an april fools video on Darko’s channel talking about the different acoustic properties of various plants and thinking maybe its not such a crazy idea.
Not sure if anyone has actually tested it though, but it does look nice.
There is sufficient power in weird curvy shapes everywhere
This is probably one of my most favorite listening room setups I’ve seen. Very peaceful.
