Pictures of your Classé gear

[wettou]

My room is on the bright side and the silk plants have done a decent job of taking away some of the over the edge brightness and echoes (like the 4 1/2-5'+ ones that are bushy/have a lot of leafs and you can get reasonably at Home Depot on occasion - at least at the one in Jupiter, FL.

No, the subs do not shake the cabinets or the house. I also have those soft round rubber Isonodes under each of the feet. The subs sound great.

Thanks I will get a few silk plants and see what happens

I thought my CAV-150 was deep at 19" plus the connectors. The problem is trying to find a cabinet that holds anything deeper than 18". For me, not that I need it at this time, I would have to stick it behind my cabinet racks, sideways on the floor.

I had a cabinet maker design and build one for me! (solid cherry)

[Classe4me]

My Classe and Wilson Audio set-up finally.

After being a member on this site for several months now I thought it appropriate to post a few pics of my system and "man cave" where all of my relaxation occurs.

The big chaise on the sectional is my favorite place to chill out and do my serious listening and watching and I prefer it to my own bed.

Nothing special but light years ahead of what I had this time last year.

Very nice system Tom. It looks like a real comfortable place to kick back and listen to some good tunes. :T

Thank you Beden, It really is my weekend getaway and escape from the cold, hard, reality of the working world. I used to want to run and go all the time and now I spend my unoccupied time slots during the week sniffing around for DVDs and music to be able to enjoy on the weekends. My biggest problem is there is not enough time on the weekends and also, I do not have enough isolation from the rest of the house in the family room where my system is located. Needless to say I catch a lot of grief from my wife when I listen at the volume levels that I enjoy.

Ah, the sacrifices that we have to make in life!

Thanks again for the kind compliment.

[RebelMan]

Very nice Classe4me, thanks for sharing! :T

Very nice Classe4me, thanks for sharing! :T

Thank you James, I am flattered with your compliment considering what an awesome and beautiful system you have. With your changes over the past few months I would love to see an updated picture of how you have your system arranged now.

I am about to make a bit of a change but want to wait until I actually take delivery of it before I open my mouth and take a chance on something happening that can make it fall through or not materialize. I will keep everyone posted if your curiosity is piqued.

Tom,

Very cool, I like the room it looks very peaceful and a nice place to relax.:T Do you get any reverberation from the glass covering the pictures?

Heh, so does my dealer. :P I have an HTM1D on order. Once that comes in I hope to post an update.

Tom,

wettou, As far as I can tell I am getting no reverb from that pictures. Even though they are somewhat aesthetically pleasing, there is a "real" reason they are there. Unfortunately the picture on the left covers one of my big 200 amp breaker panels. I thought and thought about what I could do to disguise it and the only solution was a picture large enough to cover it and one on the other side to give it balance and symmetry. The room is fairly large and there are a lot of other pictures and pieces of decor. The only thing that I have in there that does rattle when the depth charges or cannon balls are flying is a sheet metal sculpture that my wife picked out for the room. Since everything else in there was of my picking I didn't have the heart (or the nerve....haha) to tell he it's go to go. She puts up with a lot from me and my purchases and I try to compromise once in a while.

The room really is comfortable and usable. So often people put things together that doesn't get used or is uncomfortable and that is such a shame and a waste. I LIVE in that room when I am home and the chaise portion of the sectional is my own private "cloud 9."

Thank you very much for your kind compliment. I put a lot of heart, soul, energy, sweat, and money in it because I did it entirely myself. If you could see the before and after you would really appreciate why I am so thrilled with it. The former state was bland, had terribly uncomfortable furniture, and a very average home theater system that I never liked or thought sounded good at all. I finally have something that I can enjoy and be proud of.

James, I can't wait to see your system when you are ready for the unveiling. It always looked so clean, modern, and yet classic at the same time. I know if will be stunning.

That center has been long overdue and you are going to think you've died and gone to HT heaven now!

You are too kind! ops:

You are correct about me and the center. It was a mental hurtle that had to be jumped but it wasn't necessary until the SSP-800 acquisition. My system did an admirable job producing a phantom center with DD and dts encodes. It is a much different story now with some (many?) Dolby TrueHD soundtracks. I am finding that I need more control over dialog and a phantom center will no longer suffice my needs. What took two years of deliberation was answered in less than two weeks time. Before I was very reluctant to receive the HTM1D. Now I anticipate it. Funny how things work out. :P

Love your setup! Very clean and organized. Also the finish on your Wilson Audio is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your system. :T

Mike

Thank you very much Mike! The finish on the Wilson Audio product line really is amazing. They use an automotive type of finish that is literally much more refined and painstaking than that of the best auto manufacturers.

The down side is if you enjoy the natural beauty of wood and all of the different species and grain patterns, etc., then you are up the creek. I enjoy seeing a gorgeous pair of B & Ws or any of the other high-end speakers that take great pride in showcasing their woodworking and cabinetry skills. With the exclusive use of the phenolic resins and ultra-stiff materials used in the manufacture of Wilson Audio speakers, it makes it nearly impossible for them to utilize natural wood grains in their line.

I look at it this way, some people have painted trim in their home, and some have stained trim. They can both be stunning in their given application and one can look out of place in one setting where the other fits in perfectly. It's all good!

It is interesting to go to their website and read about the "WilsonGloss" paint process. http://www.wilsonaudio.com/product/s...ilsonGloss.php

My old Sophia 2s were black. When we replaced them a few months ago I decided to go with a custom color that Porsche started using on the 2007 or 2008 model year, called Macadamia Metallic. The pictures don't do them justice at all. In the pics they look like a muddy brown and they are far from that. They are obviously a brown tone but they have a high level of metallic bronze and copper in them and it's almost like they shoot fire when the light hits them. That is a problem because I don't have any light on them so really showcase their beautiful color. I debated on whether to do small spots or can lights above but to be honest, that monster amp is like having a big space heater in the room already and is going to force me to add more CFM to my family room to take care of the additional heat load. On the converse, it will be nice and toasty in there this winter!

I will try to take a couple more pics when my new addition arrives in a week or so and I will figure out a way to throw some light on one of those Sophias to give you guys an idea of what they really look like.

Honest everyone, you all have been so kind, helpful, and complimentary that it makes me feel like a proud new papa or something. I truly am thrilled with my new family room and system and it was an awesome consolation to myself to attempt getting past my burglary last year where we lost most everything.

Thanks again to my Classe family!

How about the back and the system where it is located?

[Nolan B]

Well im now officially part of the Classe Club, albeit my membership is junior since I only own a 5100. My only decision now is where to put it. Personally I think it looks kinda cool sitting on top of my rack, but my wife doesnt. She wants it on the floor or on a stand alone stand. Maybe ill look into a hyperspike.






or on the floor...but with a rack

[sikoniko]

Nice! What do you think about it? Planning on an SSP-800 soon?

My vote goes for on top of the silver rack. Looks a bit out of place on the floor.

thanks..

I am thinking its not right in either spot. Maybe with a rack on the floor. Im not sure.

[beden1]

Try putting it on top of your filing cabinet. It would go well with the black cabinet, and would kind of blend into your room (also with your silver computer monitor).

thats my desk top!

Cant go there. tomorrow I am getting the old style classe single amp stand. We will see how that looks. I am going to move the cabinet a closer to the amp and remove the xbox and PS3.
