Pictures of your B&W Set-up

[jjahshik32]

Hello there,

I'm new on this forum and must say that I really enjoyed going through this thread of beautiful B&W systems.

I would also like to share my system with you. We still live in an apartment and I'm really looking forward to moving into a house so I cant get a dedicated home cinema room.

Enjoy,

Wow nice set of 803D!! Diamond tweeters.. drool.. ;x(

[cntlaw]

Love those 803S!! I wish to own them one day as well!

Just curious shouldnt the hdtv go inbetween the 803S infront of the window!!

Absoluetly right. The tv should be in the middle but that blocks the nice view.
( I rotated the room 90 degree so that speaker s get a balanced room)
The second phase of my system upgrade is to have a projector screen hanging from the window bench for AV system movies.
The TV you saw is a 42" non FullHD Pioneer plasma, it is a bit thick.
I hope to replace it with a thinner and lighter LCD and hooked it up on the same side wall with a adjustable TV arm.

What are your room dimensions? Also what size screen do you have and how far do you site from it?

Love the room by the way. I am looking into something along the same lines (in time). 30 days until my basement gets water-proofed....

Congrats! This is one very dedicated HT room. The pics are right out of a catalogue. Very pro 8O

I wish you many happy hours of listening/viewing/enjoying...

That is very nice set up. I'd pay admission price to watch a movie.

I just have to ask out of curiosity and interest why you chose to go with the DS3 over anything from the 800 series or even the DS7?

The room is in meters 3,25 winde, 5,9 long and 2,35 high.

Screen is 230 wide. First row eye/ear distance is appox 2,8 meters.

Next rom will be at least 1,5 meters wider and longer and atleast 0.5 meters higher....

Doesn't look like money is an issue. But I will take your word on it.
Nice room. Even the lamps are pretty kool.

[Mikael]

Very niiiiice setup you've got there,Kallagtunet :T :T ;x( ;x(

[scanido]

kallagtunet - awesome setup and beautiful pics!

I have to ask what your running for electronics?

[kallagtunet]

Midgard Audio Oberon 6.1 ICE based monoblocks. Quite a good match for the 802Ds never runs out of steam with its 600 Wats and good stability on a difficult load like this. And for the money more or less unbeatable.

[audioqueso]

Holy... :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop
kallagtunet, wow... congratulations on that room and setup. That's an awesome setup!!!

[dave34]

nice theatres guys.. wow i am jealous

[ShadowZA]

Kallagtunet, your setup = :drool:
:T

[beden1]

Pictures of just added BDI cabinets, Classe CAM-350 mono amps, and a B&W HTM2D center. Since taking the pics, I angled the HTM2D up about 2 1/4", and added floor standing silk plants behind each speaker which has worked suprisingly well with toning things down a bit.

How does one insert an image in the message rather than attach a file/thumbnail?

All Black the contrast ratio must be stunning, no a room I would want to hang out in a bit too dark for my taste that is of course unless I am watching a movie or sleeping.

Very nice set-up

After jlr_1304's pics, I'm a bit ashamed to put these pics up.... But here it is anyway...

Does anyone know what stand this is?

[rompower]

Well.. just post those pictures in another thread so I guess i'll post them here too

HT: 803D htm2d, classé ca-5100 rotel rsx-1057
living: 802D, arcam a32 & cd-36

I think I would switch the 802D with the 803D. I am sure you have tried both scenarios, what was the deciding factor for which speakers went in what room?

Thanks for the comment!

Agree it is not a multi purpose rom. It is dedicated just for movies and music listening (Quite ok for music listening when the ceiling star light are on.)

[rompower]

I forgot to mention that.. everything is TEMP
I had a pair of 604, which i just sold, so.. bought the 802d and well... I'm currently building a house so.. I'll build a decent room in the basement, 17' wide at front, 19' wide at back (non parallel wall), 10' height, and 23' depth.
SSP-800 (ordered and waiting for the launch)
HC6000 (projector, full hd on a 106")
802D for FL/FR
803D for surrounds

You are welcome, "the ceiling star light are on" who did you use for the stars

Time for something a little less pretty

Have not posted system pics for some time. This is my current setup. I started experimenting and found that the system sounded best with this motley arrangement of home made (chucked together) elements

Cable management needs some work and does anyone know where I can buy black or eggplant coloured acoustic towels?

Last photo with "moggie aways" in place. They are still necessary - removing them for the first photos resulted in a cat attack within 30 seconds. A feline window of opportunity that could not be missed. Neighbours must have heard my "get down you little sh#t".

great setup!!!! are those acoustic treatment behind the speakers? how did you get/make those?

[Briz vegas]

"Make" is kind of a strong word in this case.

I had been to a B&W dealer in Brisbane and seen these upright cylinders at the back and either side of a pair of Signature Diamonds. Later that weekend I notice my old rear speaker stands sitting idle in my spare room. Even though I only had 2 I figured the might help with the reflections off the rear wall. I just wrapped a couple of old towels around them and noticed a significant improvement in clarity and smoother treble when they were placed directly behind the speakers. With a bit of effort I am sure they could look alot better than they do.

Total cost $0.00

There are some great looking systems on this site but I know that the guys that do a little room treatment are getting nicer music. If its a living room then use a wall hanging or something like that behind your speakers. It all adds up and can give as much improvement as a new component. With the amazing gear that some guys have it could make a great system sound stunning.

Absolutely lovely setup you have there, especially considering you are in Hong Kong. I just could not imagine anyone being able to fit the big 800 series speakers in the apartments in Hong Kong, but now I see that you can! I hope that you neighbors are not complaining ...

[Gremal]

So is this stand/platform under the HTM1D something that B&W offers, or available elsewhere? Or is it a custom build?

Thanks...

Where's your HTM4?? Inside the cabinet? What kind of cabinet is that?
Your room looks awesome! Nice job.

thanks. htm4s is in the cabinet, tilting up towards ear level. the stand is the studiotech u-22t. studiotech makes very cool cabinet, its a little deep for my application but has cooling, rack mounts, shelves, speaker mesh for middle, metal mesh for sides, wire management and the works.

some before shots before my system went on a diet and lost 270 lbs of speakers and 100 lbs of amps
