Keep it simple we just moved and while not ideal I am getting better results in a smaller room than I was in my old room. Not quite clean and not as fancy as some other ones, lots of time involved on research but very little cash spent. I am very happy with what I am hearing.
Yes those are vintage 6 foot across aluminium light fixtures with a 4" dayton audio full range point source driver. Running all silver coated copper interconnects ala Kimber Kable (4 braided for speakers and 3 braided for rca interconnects cables)
Room treatment done by 4 4x4 spagetti type tiles and a antique rug.
Electronics are a NAD 725BEE receiver connected to a Dell Desktop with an Asux Xonar Essence STX running Daphile with silver coated copper interconnects. A Furman power conditioner cleans up the power going in.

And when you're not listening to music you can pickup alien life forms with those pointed toward outer space!
Would love to know what those light fixtures sound like.
Are they conical or bowl shaped?
They are a more of a saucer with about 6" of rise from the edge to the middle. I currently run them with a motor start capacitor based on a crossover of 130hz. When I hooked them up they did exactly the opposite of what I thought the capacitor would do instead of stopping all frequencies below 130hz it made them a very full range, but will handle very little wattage I am guessing 1 or 2 watts max. When the capacitors are not being used I digitally cross them over at 130hz and run a sub to fill in the bottom. As far as the sound they sound amazingly clear. I don't get into all of that mumbo jumbo about soundstage anything, they are just amazingly clear and crisp. They lack in bass (obviously) but what they do have is very natural sounding. If you are ever close to Lincoln, Nebraska send me an email and bring some cd's that you love and if you drink I will provide the beer.
:)
I applaud your sense of adventurism.
There is no beer in food, but there is food in beer.
I am a big fan of Daphile, I run it too. I reached out to the developer to ask him if he would take a donation, I don't think he cares about money.
