Garage audio aka old expensive audio graveyard

I've got a Yamaha AST-C10 system in my workshop: https://www.wikiboombox.com/Yamaha%20YST-C10
The BeoSound 9000 is in the lounge...

An old (1996) Yamaha home cinema amp drives my workshop speakers. It's a good bit of kit and hopefully keeps the spiders warm 
I've thought about putting some outdoor speakers under the roof overhang and driving them on the second speaker output, but TBH they probably wouldn't get much use... I usually wear Sony cans when working outside as I'll usually be doing something that requires hearing protection anyway.

Old Sonos sound bar to the garage for use when on the Concept 2 Ergo.
If you ever need to replace the ergo, I ended up buying a Water Rower precisely because 1) it's much quieter, so I could have music/TV at a lower volume and 2) it doesn't blow dust about (if your garage is magazine-cover quality that may be irrelevant for you, but I certainly had to consider it!).Very happy with it. Whilst you can safely ignore the marketing bumf about it being like you are really down on the river (it isn't - no ergo is) I do genuinely prefer the feel to the Concept 2's I spent my entire rowing career training on.

Ha, one of those was my very first hi-fi for my bedroom as a kid. I remember it packed a surprisingly big punch. Did sterling service for many years, eventually sold to make way for replaced with an AIWA NSX D939 3 CD changer with 5-channel Dolby pro-logic surround sound and a Kenwood SW-500 Super Woofer sub (such a a unique looking thing) when I was a teenager. Since being doing service connected to my parents master suite 32” “flatscreen” tube TV for 25years. Lol. Happy daysSome random pics I found on google.

whoah, a component Mini Disc
Still current equipment for me, getting on 30 years I've had this one running. Used to record mine and others live sets in the 90s onto MD and never got around to transferring them. Still use my SL1200s and ecler mixer through that set up too alongside a Wiim Mini which is feeding the Topping DAC. Old & new work well together.

Whoah that Kenwood superwoofer is a bit of a unit!
Yes, a very unique design. I think it was a bandpass type sub that they’d got inventive with the port design on. The 8” driver was completely enclosed within the unit. It wasn’t actually very good. Very boomy as I recall, and it was totally outclassed by the KEF 30B sub that I replaced it with.
Apparently hifi separates and speakers were aesthetically displeasing in our new lounge and so my Cambridge Audio 640A and 640C, along with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 now live in the outhouse which serves 50:50 as a store room and my office.
The speakers are even wall mounted as I ran out of space on my desk. Even though they mainly output Teams calls for work, I couldn't get rid of this set up as it was my first 'proper' hifi and I'm too attached to them!

That's the spirit! Stick on the odd CD between Teams calls..... Start moving some of the "store room" stuff out..... The speakers are even wall mounted as I ran out of space on my desk. Even though they mainly output Teams calls for work, I couldn't get rid of this set up as it was my first 'proper' hifi and I'm too attached to them!

Sadly the stored stuff is camping gear and isn't going anywhere for a while.
