The speakers look like Harbeths.

Yes they could be /// Harbeth Monitor 40.2 (99.99%)


Now just the preamp and CD player to go ...
Working on the CD player ...

I cannot confirm...the photo is so blurry...in particular the CD player, and even more so the preamp.

* Rasmus, I'm going to find out that preamp ...
What do we get when we got all four of them...a new Tesla Cybertruck?

I think the preamp is to the left of the amp and the small black box with the golden plate do match the Threshold preamp (and because the amp is a Threshold that seems reasonable):



The big grey box to the right is maybe some kind of power distributor? The lack of buttons seems to point in that direction.

I zoomed the photo to help ... good detective work on the black Threshold preamp.
...To the left of the amp.

There also seems to be a tube amplifier on top of the Threshold amp.

And there is also a small box on top left of that grey component @ right of the power amp.
Plus, another small black box @ the left of the preamp...see the small black box @ the rear right of the FET Ten photo above.

There seem to be a bunch of cables on the floor in front of the rack.

Three cables are coming out behind the CD player...a pair of stereo analog interconnects and the AC power cord? I don't know if we can find out the brand and model number of the pair of analog interconnects ... ;)

Dear all, thank you so much! Theses seems to be correct:

Threshold S/450
Harbeth Monitor 40.2
Copland
FET Nine

I think there is also an tube amplifier on top of Threshold S45 which is almost invisible on the photo..

Good job,
Thanks!

COPLAND CDA 266 Radio CD Player.

* I looked for that tube amp (atop the Threshold amp) but couldn't find it.
I also looked for the component @ the right of the Threshold amp (silver/grey color front face) but that one too I couldn't locate. I first thought that it was the preamp, I have no idea what it could be, but it sure intrigues me. It was a fun searching quest we the few of us came to as a team. :cool:
