Spent most of the day yesterday re-organizing my system, which included removing all components from the rack, cleaning, vacuuming, re-positioning the main racks to make room for the amp stand and then putting everything back, with special attention to getting the cables more neatly routed.

Here are some photos...

The VTI amp stand really matches the Omnimount rack.

I couldn't use both sets of speaker cables, so I put the jumpers back on the reQuests and am just using one pair of the M1s.

Of course, it'll look SO much better with the big X250 in there!

Should have it next weekend!

From the listening position, you can't see any of the component cables. SWEET! Of course when you get up close, you can see them all.. No getting around that, I suppose...

Wow, your setup looks great Tom. Now all you need to tie it all together is that big silver beast with the blue eye. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the X250.5.
 
I did this once wow was it a lot of work. Then over the months I have a rats next behind my rack again as I add more equipment.
 
Nice room and very nice system there Tom...LOOKIN' GOOD! Really like that room... Neat ceiling and lots of windows!

Yeah, I have drooled quite a bit looking at the photos of your system. SWEET indeed!

Amp is on the UPS truck on it's way here. XLR jumpers have not arrived yet... sigh. Might have to jerry-rig some...
