Showing (off) your Roon setup - description and photos [2025]

My Ellipse replaced a Mu-so QB 2. It’s been a while since I’ve heard a Zeppelin (owned one about 5 years ago).

The Ellipse has a ‘just right’ kind of feeling (nothing particularly obnoxious) and a criminally wide sound stage.

Latest zone - the man cave / workshop. I had a small gap above tool cabinet, figured I’d build a two-way speaker; only wanted mono so it wasn’t listening-position sensitive. Then figured I may as well use Roon eq to combine stereo signal to mono, then low-pass to left amp channel and on to midrange; high-pass to other amp channel and tweeter. No crossover required; maximised use of a spare Nobsound class-D amp. Built cabinet out of MDF, added tweeter and 5” midrange from Jaycar.com.au
Sounds quite reasonable, given the cost.

Table to the side for critical listening, I’d say

I’ve been Zu curious for a while. Just managed to acquire a second hand pair of DW II’s. Thought I’d share. Rest of my setup is unchanged - Rega P6, PS Audio DirectStream Mark 1 DAC, Rogue Audio Sphinx V3, Denon Cassette deck, RP running Ropieee. So far so good. Mid range is definitely impressive.
