How big is the room?
A pic from distance would be great so we can help with options regarding the placements :)
(in front of another wall perhaps?)
No, distance from tweeter to tweeter is now 1.54 meter as they sound the best that way. :-)
My setup is now as seen in the video clips above.
No other options for placement but it is quite allright. I like it as it is. Thank you for asking.

I sort of congratulate you. However, if I was playing that instrument you likely wouldn't think it was musical at all! Also a Boazu can play more instruments and more kinds of music!. ;-)

You are absolutely right. I cannot live without my clarinet AND my hifi system.
A big thank you to Fredrik for letting me play around in here. Good luck with your work! :-)
A small update: As my Klyde is worn out I have to make do with my old £300 NAD cd player. After a long period of trial and error with the setup I have finally reached a point where I think I can call the result tuneful.

Thank you Charlie1. As you have experienced first hand it has taken some effort to get it to where it is now. I am considering buying more second hand cd’s as I have crossed the line where listening to my cd collection actually is enjoyable and turning it off is a little bit hard to do.
One of my customers has an AT 33 on an LP12/Ittok and it is a pretty decent sounding cartridge. I'm not sure if it is the same cartridge beck has as AT makes about a dozen varieties (OK, apparently it is only four and just seems like a dozen). I never did any direct comparisons with it but it did seem to sound OK. However, it took him two tries to get one that worked right as the first one had some internal ground problem that caused hum when it was properly mounted to the headshell. The second one exhibited no such problem. This was made more difficult by the fact that the version he chose wasn't available in the US so he had ordered directly from Japan. It didn't make returns particularly easy. He did have an Adikt for a brief time but but it overloaded the phono stage in his beloved fancy US tube preamp, so instead of getting a better phono stage he got a different (lesser?) cartridge!
Considering what I just heard with an Adikt through a Slipsik 7 it certainly has some heavy competition. But through a Linto I'm sure the AT33 would be superior to the Adikt through the Linto. ;-)

Having “downgraded” my cart on my Sondek from a Linn KlydeB to a AT33PTG/II it is now possible for me to say that it has been a succes.
I am listening to music now with the same kind of “non disturbed” mind flowing away into the world of music.
Classical music has in some ways gained from this change. Playing symphonies that ends with volume peaking at the end of a record is a plessure to listen to. Same kind of sound from outer to inner groove with extremely secure tracking.
With rhythmical music in particular (rock, pop, jazz) I notice a slight loss of density but that is it. The flow and feeling is virtually the same as with the KlydeB now that I have got the setup of my speakers sorted.
It is worth mentioning that I ended with exactly the same distance between the speakers (1.54 meters) as before but closer to the wall.
Back to Mahlers 1. symphony with Leonard Bernstein conducting!
My best advice to anyone investing in a hifi system is to seek help but in the end trust your own reaction to the music when listening.
Never go with anything but your own satisfied mind and body.

Good advice, that's what I do as well. By the way, nice sounding system...enjoy!
Thank you Tony. I envy you your great “hifi” room. It looks and sounds great. :-)
Yes, for those feeling lost in the hifi jungle this forum is a good place to start. Then as you get more confidence you can make good calls when buying equipment.

I started the audio journey by listening to my ears, and it's never failed me. Although there are individuals that I can get good guidance from too. And thanks for the comments Beck...
