Nice layout!

Really like the ballance of HT and 2 Ch. rooms in one location. Simple on the HT and ALL OUT on the 2 Ch.
Your presentation of the artwork in the 2 Ch. room leading up to your equipment was very well done as well.

I asked the same question the other day. Hope this helps.
As for the paintings. :T

quote from mjb

Having uploaded the images somewhere, you use the image tag (IMG) with the URL to put them in a post. If they're uploaded here as attachments, use the attachmentid. eg, this is the line, and use square brackets [] not <>
<IMG>http://www.htguide.com/forum/attachment.php4?attachmentid=14041</IMG>
As for making the images bigger, you'll have to upload them somewhere else (like imageshack) as this forum only supports a certain size, and again use the IMG tag with the URL.

There are a thousand things i can say about your room, but, wow, by far the nicest setup i've seen, well done. ;x(

[Briz vegas]

If Seinfeld had an pad like this one Classe and B&W would not be able to keep up with demand.

Glad to see a huge music collection as well.

[Miyuki]

Hello World.

This is my new setup. Sounds Amazing !!!



I just put everything togheter, and now, its Tunning Time.!! :twisted:


Best wishes !

Great setup.... I love 802Ds.....
I have the same amps as you, but I wish I had them in black!

Like everyone else, lovely set-up!

Now, with regards to posting posting pictures within the thread. You should open an account with a free picture site like flickr and upload your pictures there.

Or, you can right click the picture on your page, if you're on a window machine hit "Properties" and copy the url of the picture. This usually ends in .jpg

If on a Mac, right click and hit "Copy Image address" and it's done.

Post the .jpg url between image tags. This is an image tag. [i-m-g][/i-m-g]

Allow no spaces when pasting the url between the image tags.

I'll do an example from you page.



Again though, open a free account with a site like photo-bucket as you don't want to eat up the bandwidth from minhembio.com

BTW - Do you have a gallery or site with your work? It's wonderful. I would like something like that but with artists like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderly, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Muddy Waters etc.

Lovely - you are very talented. I cannot wait to see more pictures when you get the 801Ds.

Miper don't forget to add a shot of the HT setup here. Very nicely done as well.

Hi Miyuki,

Nice to hear you !

Thanks !! Really 802Ds speakers are really amazing !! By the way, you have a nice setup either .

About, "Denon in Black", you are correct, they are really beautifull ! Luckly, both sounds incredible !!

Best wishes ,

Robercy.

Is that you car?

[Briz vegas]

Is that your girlfriend :B

Sorry, guess I just reached my threshold of reading gushing praise. I now feel it necessary to ask why no seat in the sweet spot. I'm a big fan of the sweetspot for stereo listening. Couldn't possibly listen to you great setup without moving one of those two chairs to an appropriate listening alignment. :T

Just don't tell me that the significant other is also into music. That could be the last straw in hifi bloke jealousy inducements (envy overload) ;x(

:rofl: wettou - love your quote at the bottom of your post. Happy with what we have? Maybe some are, but where on this forum would you find anyone who would not upgrade given a few spare dollars.

Thanks,

My comfort is that they sound the same regardless of the color. IMO, 802Ds are the sweetest sweetspot of speakers in terms of price/performance ratio and music reproduction. Two things that you should have and should not have with those lovely elephants is a large room and no neighbors. If you meet those requirements 802Ds are must buys. However, I don't meet any of those so I settled with 803Ds for now.

Last thing of this years ugrading project is to upgrade my interconnects, but I don't know anything about cables:

May I ask what interconnects you use for your Denons?
cheers,

Hello Miyuki,

I like your point of view, when you talk about "Must have a Big place and don't have neighbors" :P . I have a medium place and luckly no neighbors close enough. Then I can take till the last breath from this lovely speakers. I hope you find a good place to put your future 802s, ASAP.

Now, talking about cable, I my opinion, this is a complex subject. So, I tryed a lot, and made my own cables, and named "Invisible". Because, they are. IMHO.


Thats all for now.


Cheers, and a Happy Xmas

[wettou]

Thanks I agree we are all looking for upgrades and I lead them all :B

My view is this every seven years I like to change my entire system that way I enjoy it for a number of years and also can benefit from major advances.

Now for the source BD player is an exception so for now the last piece I need is the new/prepro that support HDMi 1.3b (Classé SSP-800)

I used to have Integra Research RDC7, RDA7, RDV1, Sony SCD-XA777ES with B&W 802N, 803N and HTM1 and B&W 2500 sub Seleco HT300, StewartFilmScreen FireHawk 16:9 100"D

http://www.integraresearch.com/model.cfm?id=1&level=1

Seven years later I have started upgrading to:
Classé CA-5200, CA-2100, (3) B&W 802D, JL Audio Fathom F113, JVC-RS2, Stewart FilmScreen FireHawk G3 2:35 128"D, Sony BDP-S550 Blu Ray Player, Sony SCD-XA5400ES


Now all I am waiting for is Classé SSP-800 in the Spring :B


So who know what I will do in 2015

I bought five AudioQuest kingCobra2 cables "red snakes" for my amp and at the same time I upgraded my TV from 50inch Panasonic to 60inch Pinoeer KRP-600A.

[Miyuki]

The TV just arrived today...

[Miyuki]

The media receiver of Pioneer makes it a great deal easier to manage cables.
Two antenna, one OPT, two HDMI, one Ethernet cable go into this one ... The TV is basically only a display with one proprietary system cable! For obvious reasons Pioneer could not adopt the 1.3x HDMI standard between the media receiver and the monitor.
As a network engineer this is great, yet I don’t like proprietary protocols!

Thats an upgrade alright! Just the best :T

Thank you
I also bought some Japanese pine blocks from a Japanese carpenter to put my rear N803 speakers on the same level as my fronts. Those are very cheap but serve their purposes. My system is for multichannel 92PCM music and not that ideal for movies that require more difuse sounding rears.

[msm]

Here is another angle shot over the one I posted in the Classe forums. I am running 804S in the rear.

[Miyuki]

ｍｓｍ

Compliments to your system (802Ds are in my dreams only) and the location of your center :T. This setup is surely at nirvana level for most ppl but it must have been very expensive.

I have actually listened to almost the same setup as yours but with different cables and acoustics. That setup blew away my setup in direct two channel listening.

Very nice, indeed !!

[wettou]

Very sweet, Classé CAM400 what is in the middle Classé CA-5100?

Thanks, it is the CA-5200 in the middle of the two CA-M400's.

New member here. I purchased DM603/S3 as my mains also and am currently feeding them from my Denon AVR-2807 receiver. Having read your message on providing more amplification I was wondering should I not be worried about over driving these speakers? I have an ancient Sony Es Ta-E77Esd sitting in my garage that has not been used in many many years. Would it be safe for me to drive my B & W's with this amp seeing how it is rated at 200 watts per channel and thses speakers are rated at a max of 150 watts per channel? I know the sound would be outstanding with the additional power.

[wettou]

So it is driving the center and surround I assume are you biaamping the center, or do you have a 7.1?

sgtjim57,

First, welcome to the forum. There's lot's of great information in here.
As to your amp question, it's very hard to overdrive or give to much power (especially dedicated amp power) to speakers. I once ran some patio speakers with 200 watt channels of a 5 channel amp. Sounded great. On the other hand, under driving speakers is not good at all. The drivers can be damaged.

As a rule, external power amps have much better power supplies and can deliver current much better than the amps in receivers.

The great thing about audio is the ability to try things. I would hook up the old amp and see how it sounds. Well built amps do hold their own over time.



Hope this helps.

[wettou]

I have never heard about blowing a speaker with too much amplification, now the other way is an other story!!

[cntlaw]

Thanks,
............, I don't meet any of those so I settled with 803Ds for now.

Last thing of this years ugrading project is to upgrade my interconnects, but I don't know anything about cables:
,

I have a small listening room 11' wide. I use the very popular Japanese made TAOC PTS-F spike plates for my 803S. The effect is it 'tightens' the sound overall. You might like to try the PTS-F on those custom-made pines woods blocks.

http://www.taoc.gr.jp/taoc/insulator.html

I will consider ATLAS Ascent 3.0 speaker cables suggested by expert for my 803S.

Thank you,
I will take a look at them

My front speakers have no plates at all and stand on Japanese tatami mats.... don’t know if this is b

ad or good! With regards to speakers, I am more concerned with the right speaker being too close to the pillar and I might need something behind it to trap the sound.

[sgtjim57]

Thanks

I will bring the old monster in on my Christmas break amd see what happens. Hopefully, it is still functioning. The last time I had it in the house my daughter was using it to play her IPOD through Bose speakers in her bedroom.

You have the best pro audio cable in the world come from Japan also they also won't drill a hole in your budget :B

Canare, Belden cables; cables of the highest quality, relied upon worldwide by professional broadcast engineers when the quality of the signal is of the utmost importance.

[sgtjim57]

Okay, my back is hurting but the amp is in the house and I had it temporarily hooked up. I have to rearrange to make it a permanant addition to my current system Before I hooked it up I took the top cover off and used some computer air to ensure there was no dust or dead bugs or whatever else could have climbed inside. The amp works!!! The sound was, better. I really did not take the time to really listen, but with the next two weeks off and rain in the forecast for Tennessee, I will have plenty of opportunities to listen.Once I get everything set up, I will post pics of my system. Certainly not the system I dream of, only the system I can afford.
