I would expect combfiltering and odd resonances from the desktop in your listening position? No?

I produce my own music in the studio as well, and need the table space for that gear from time to time. I just don't keep it on the table unless I'm using it. A custom desk is next on the list of studio upgrades actually though, drawing up the plans for that this weekend.

Do you have a different point of view about the SM9s ???

A good place to show off my newly acquired Scully/Westrex vinyl mastering setup, I've been restoring it over the last 2 months and I've got it sounding good & running smooth. I used to think my Vari-Mu put out a ton of heat for a piece of audio gear but those 1574D tube cutting amps are no joke.

I can see you use projector, how it is working for you ?
I was thinking about getting similar idea - smaller lcd close to the eyes, and projector with a screen inbetween speakers

| Projector
Hi Red Mastering - I actually almost never use the projector. It's so big that it's kind of distracting when it's on, so I generally just leave it off. That way the only things in front of me are the music and the gear. It is nice to be able to use it if I want though, and it definitely gets used for studio photos!
Also, the projector is actually a rear-projection type, it shoots the image through glass in the back wall between my speakers. That way the projector noise isn't intrusive. The screen is made from a simple wood frame with a cheap white plastic shower curtain heat stretched over it. Probably not the best picture but definitely a cheap & decent looking way to do it...

I forget completely about noise generating by projector...
good to remember it!
as it could be a drawback,
hopefully technology will update to noiseless projectors soon
thanks again

soundBlade HD 2 is running on the Mac Pro tower, center screen.
But sB will easily run on the MacBook if needed, on OSX 10.6.8.

Ah yes, Plextools on XP. When I heard they were discontinuing them, I found 3 PlexWriters NOS and squirreled them away to install in an HP XW workstation. Your MacPro must be pretty well disguised, because I don't see it (just your big Mac).
