Wow, very sharp theater! I love the colors...that rug really ties it all together.

[erich]

thanks my gear is only entry-mid level but i'm very pleased with it. i got really lucky i found that rug. when i saw it i knew it would be perfect for my theater

[KyaDawn]

Looks amazing erich! :T

I actually prefer the grills on your 685s off for your room, blends in so well with the surroundings!

[wettou]

erich

You demonstrate that even with modest equipment one can have a great home theater, very nice :T

[wettou]

I am going to check stereofile to see if they put the XPA-1 on the bench. Just curious about its numbers at 2ohm. I have read nothing but good things though.

Please let us know what you find?

[Armbender]

Awesome Set-Up Erich ...you dont need to spend $$$$ to have a great looking and sounding system...youve definately proven astecially that this is true...awesome on the WAF also...

great job!

are those DIY panels in the corners?

[erich]

kyadawn,

i like them off better too but i only take them off when i use them.


wettou,

yeah i was fortunate enough to have been able to build the room from the ground up so i was able to route everything through the walls( concrete walls are the norm here in the Philippines which makes wiring a PITA) and have the acoustic treatments built into the design. it's not very noticable but the sidewalls are covered in fabric. the first reflection points are absorbed with 4" rockwool with a 2"gap behind them. . the other portions of the wall are high/mid/low bass traps i copied from ethan winer's site. the front corners are lined with superchunks and the ceiling has 8 panels of 2'x4'x8" rockwool

+1, +1, +1. I can't really add to what has already been said. Definitely one of my top three favorite systems in this thread! :E

I did the same thing for my set-up, with the ceiling It works great :T

Who is Ethan Winer?

[duketbrd88]

Kick ass job, well done. Mike

[erich]

Thanks guys

I say humble because I'm only using 600 series speakers. I'm still a long way from the 800 series which of course I aspire to one day own :B

Ethan winer is a cofounder of realtraps. He has a web site where he generously shares his bass trap plans.

my humble home-cinema set

Dear all,
just my first post on this forum, below you can find my 5.1 set.





consists of:
Front: DM601 (bi-amped)
Center: HTM7 (bi-wired)
Rear: LM1 (original stands)
Sub: BK Gemini II (non-B&W)

Driven by: Denon AVR-1910, Straightwire Musicables

I've got also a couple of spare Solid HCM2, which I'm thinking about using as back rear speakers in 7.1. Good idea you think?

I also got a vintage pair of DM-17s driven by a vintage Sony LVT-901 amp, but cables need replacement. any suggestions ?

Thanks

RavenX,

First of all, welcome to the forum! You will definitely find B&W in here.

What a sweet setup. Very nice. Have the in-wall speakers met your expectations? They certainly look cool enough. What is the rest of your gear?


Enjoy that room!

Is that a BluRay player on top of the sub? If so that is probably not the best place for it due to the vibrations. You have only just begun, so as far as wires get some basic well terminated wires for now and start saving up for some 800D's :B

nice room :T is there another sub on the left side? The room looks like it needs 2 subs for sure.

Very nice how many surround sound speakers do you have in the back?

aren't the speakers a bit low? It looks cool, please post pictures of the front

Not to low, it's just the angle of the shot.

It's hard to take pictures of an all black room.
Black walls, ceiling, carpet, chairs and granite.

No, see pic. above. This room has been done for a few years, not just begun. All Transparent speaker wire. Front is 100% bi-amped. 800Ds would be nice.

[ninja12]

RavenX, you have a very nice set up. I don't know if you need the glass stand in front of your center channel or not; but, if you don't need it, may I suggest that you move it because the sound from the center channel may be reflecting from your center channel. It's just a suggestion. Enjoy your setup. It's really really nice. :T

[Relentless]

That comment was for JorisC .... sorry for the confusion

It's a coffee table on wheels which gets moved around a lot.

Bump.

Allready taken care, nothing on the sub now. Still saving for a decent piece of A/V furniture.
Thanks for your reply btw.

[audioqueso]

RavenX, why do you have a HTM2 way up there? Or better yet, why two center channels? I'm curious how you configured your setup.

(I love your car! Scariest car I've ever driven.)

[audioqueso]

It's been a while since I've looked at all this pictures. Lots of great setups!

Nothing has changed, just took a few new shots.

btf1980,
Absolutely love your room! The speakers, the gear, the room decor, wonderful setup!
What kind of headphones are those? I can't say I recognize them. I use a pair of Sennheiser HD555's and Audio-Technica A900's with a Nuforce uDAC. But only at my desk. The uDac is really nice for the price.
I'm tempted to buy a JL Audio sub... buy maybe next year. :B

Thanks for the compliment.
The room 15x11. The couch is along the 15 foot wall.

Very nice Hammie! Awesome setup, and your room looks very nice!

this is my humble home theater

Erich... wow! Amazing room! Even your door looks cool! It must be awesome having a room like that.

RavenX,
Nice theater room! What to you have on top of your center speaker?

[htsteve]

audioqueso,

You will definitely like the JL Audio. I replaced a Velodyne DD18 with a Fathom F112 and have been very happy. Truly a reference sub.

Dual center since I am not always in the same listening position.
They compliment each other quite well.

hi everybody my name is mike and this is a picture of my very modest system [IMG]

mike,

Welcome to the forum! I'm looking forward to seeing your system. However, the picture didn't load.

I find this interesting because I have always read that there are phase issues that arise with a dual center set up. I have never listened to one so I can not comment.

Nautilus 804 in Cherry, each powered by a Rotel RB-1080, fed by a RC-1090.
CD's spin in the Rotel RCD-1072 and DVD's / SACD / DVD-A's go in the Pioneer DV-989Ai-S....
