Preparing Christmas in audio room

[STUDIO51]

Christmas is coming one month forward!

Definitely It is a good day. Regardless of religion.

This is last year's setup. Visitors liked it but I felt a bit lacking. So I bought an extra Christmas LED today. (4-color LED, 5m, 4 $)*2

I think it's much better. And the appearance of the M2 has been improved.

It looks like this halation when I take off my glasses.(A bit exaggerated)


I didn't do that, but it would be a good diffuser to place a large Christmas tree between the speakers.

How about your Christmas setup? Post your photos as comments.

What's the red thing on the stand? A music player? The cord looks like my guitar cable! LOL. I never thought about Christmasizing my stereo. But I might hang some garland on my speakers. That's a good idea.

What's missing?

Music.

What will be playing?

That yellow cable is an optical cable. Now I've switched to a better looks black optical cable.

Garland will look even better with LEDs.

I didn't think much about music, so I listened to Apple Music's Christmas jazz playlist. I just remembered. Pentatonix's Christmas album is pretty good.

I bought Carla's Christmas Carols when it came out, but, I'm a Carla Bley fan...

Mostly rather traditional, but nicely rearranged and performed.

A live performance...

On the classical side, I always thought Yo-Yo Ma's Songs of Joy and Peace was pretty good.

I just found that album on Apple Music. I heard for a while but it sounds good.

Oh dear god... AWSOME !! I see more than I imagined. It is especially fun to wear Santa costumes on the speakers. What speaker is it? B&W speakers will look good too.

Unfortunately my speakers are too big to dress clothes.

My favourite Christmas (Joulu) album comes from Rajaton, 2004

Do people actually redecorate their audio “shrines” depending on the festive occasion? Well, apparently some do... I’ve never actually done something like this before, apart from the potted xmas tree placed beside the speaker. Hmmmn, thinking in advance, wondering what I should do for Halloween now.

My speakers are violin red, that's festive enough.

I'm fond of this.

Sauron always keeps us regardless of Christmas.
