Any audiophile in the room?

I'm sure you all have a neat setup with foobar installed and remotely controlled with your smartphone or tablet, but who of you is a real audiophile??

What's your speaker setup? What's amplifying your nice music? Or what cable wires the whole thing?

Do you have a great dedicated room for your listening delights?

Do you have a $50K setup and play mp3s with it?

I don't have a really expensive system, but here it is:

• Amp: 
• Yamaha RX-V671

• Speakers:
• FR, FL: Tannoy Mercury V1
• C: KEF iQ2c
• SL, SR: Canton Movie 60 CX (I've left them from my previous setup)
• SW: None

• Cables: 
• QED Silver Anniversay XT for FR, FL and C.
• A normal one for SL and SR.

• Music Source: 
• HTPC with HDMI output (192kHz / 24-bit) + foobar2000 (of course)

• Remote controllers:
• Nexus 7
• Samsung Galaxy SIII

It's not a great setup but it doesn't sound bad at all..

The music I try to have is always FLAC with a good sample rate and bit depth.

I have both stereo and 5.1 songs. 

I don't have a dedicated room for this, so I use the system for music, movies and TV.


Feel free to share your thoughts, ideas, pics or whatever here. 
Let's see who's got the best setup!
