Next up is an HTM61 to replace the Paradigm... Maybe someone has one used they'd like to sell?

Looks good to me! Welcome to the forum.

Pure, Simple 2 Channel

My system has evolved to a very clean and simple two channel system. Since I recently upgraded my speakers, I thought it was a good time to dig out the camera.

Hi cscuzzo,

Great system! Those side acoustic panels look very nice. Where did you get them if you don't mind me asking.

Hello All, First time poster, found this forum recently, have been using B&W Speakers for a while though. Originally had Signature 805s, but upgraded to B&W 802D (I do miss the signatures however!).

Here goes:

B&W 802D Speakers
Mirage Omnisat Rears
Krell S-1000 Surround Processor/Preamp
Krell FPB-300
Krell KAV-3250

Cardas Golden Power cords
Sony 52XBR4 Television

Picture is a little stale, updates are the G08 and the HTM2D... Actually selling the HTM3S on Audiogon if anyone is interested?? Also - all wires to television are now in wall, so looks a little cleaner. Thoughts/comments/questions greatly appreciated!

They're made by Acoustic Sciences Corp, the makers of Tube Traps. They're called Sound Panels. In my opinion, they do the job without being too "technical looking". Even my wife said "hey, they don't look too bad"!

Hi hifi.org,

Do you wear ear plugs and reinforce windows when you enjoy your system? Look at all those woofersss! My eardrums would implode.

If anything can make an HTM1D look small its an 855 and 801 on each side of it! :E

[scanido]

Wow, that room must be HUGE to house speakers like that!

Awesome setup and a refreshing spin on the 801D/ASW855!

Got to love 'em in black! :B

[RebelMan]

hifi.org, what size is your room and the projector screen? I am planning a room conversion and would like to use your pic as a visual guide. I have a pair of 800D with plans to add the HTM1D in the new space.

[Tommy]

wettou, could you post a bigger picture of your setup? The one you posted is not big enough to appreciate your beautiful system.

[wettou]

Very nice indeed.

You might want to pull the speakers off the wall, you might be very positively surprised about the improvement in sound quality.

I have the 42inch version of the Sony Rear-pro. I don't really like it, hows your's been?

The room is 4.1 x 11.5 meters, so the wall you see on the pic is 4.1 meters. The ceiling height is 2.3 meters. After i took this picture i got myself a new larger projector screen but the screen on this pic is 213,5 X 124 cm.

[Scribblet]

I'll be honest, it was the only TV that was in my budget at the time but I wouldn't buy one again. Just like any other RPTV it suffers from washed out color, unblack blacks, etc.

I'd like to sell it and go with something else if I can convince my better half of it.

[Tweir]

Nice Setup!! What about this!

800D's with MC1201's.

[Tweir]

Or this......

801d's, and the perfect speaker...

[superfula]

I don't feel worthy with some of these badass setups. Here's my condo's living room. Neighbors don't mind too much, but I try to not go too loud after 10PM, or I just don't turn the sub on when it's late.

Nice setup! I like your component stand. What brand and where did you get it?

[ssabripo]

some updates: HTM1 added, as well as Pass Labs X250:

[Relentless]

nice!! how do you like the Pass Labs amp?
Where did the subs go?

[Blindamood]

Wow, looks great!

[wettou]

Silver cones for B&W 802

Very nice, indeed your system is!

I was thinking about getting a Pass Lab do you know how they compare to Classé! I have the CA-5200!

Also where did you get the aluminum cones for the B&W 802?

[RebelMan]

some updates: HTM1 added, as well as Pass Labs X250:

Very nice tweak ssabripo. :T

I applaud your DIY abilities but I couldn't quite accept the homegrown center you had in between your N802. Now you have only one more (major) upgrade to go and it will compliment the Pass Labs nicely... :twisted:

[Briz vegas]

Yup, one of those fancy electronic screens to roll down for your new 1080p movie projector. Bring some romance and scale to your favourite movies.

Very pretty setup by the way

thanks rebel......well, 1st things 1st.

as much as I love my monster tower subs, I think I'm going to go with a quad sealed 18" setup shortly.....preliminary models:










one idea was to have two enclosures housing two drivers each:





however, I think I will get a much better FR with the placement options that the individual cubes will give me, particularly with the nulls I'm having under 20hz:



a Linkwitz-transform circuit boost, using a DEQ2496 outta help that, but more importantly, placement options of the 4 sealed subs will play a major role in my acoustically challenged room.

so what "major" upgrade you have in mind? the Classe SSP-800?

[RebelMan]

so what "major" upgrade you have in mind? the Classe SSP-800?

Perhaps :B

[ryan.devry]

I don't mean to offend you but I wonder why you spend so much money on cable vs getting better speaker!!

Before talking about better speaker I would advise you to listen to the 805.It's a hell of a speaker!!!!And good speakers need good wiring!! :W

I wonder what sort of speaker do you have my friend? :T

Apparently not. Nice setup. However, my only comment... why have you spent so much on your system, and haven't invested in a nice rack??? :B

[kobestonecold]

HAHAHA. It is just a temporary thing man. I Know I know ops: OH! i just forgot to buy a nice rack. :B

[Dutch BW]

Those 805s are not the problem, great speakers! But your flatpanel tv is up against the ceiling, IMO you need rearrange things. And maybe you could place your kids tv in a diferent corner with some pillows on the floor...

Enjoy the 805s!

[kobestonecold]

We got no more room believe me :lol:

The wife have so many things in this room....... ;x(

[Chatterbot]

But your flatpanel tv is up against the ceiling, IMO you need rearrange things.

You might get a stiff neck while watching TV...
apart from that I do really hope that you installed the safety-chain that surely
came with your TV and prevents it from falling e.g. when a child stumbles at
your furniture...

Apart from that: I love the 805s :T

Cheers,
G.
