Is this thread the definition of living vicariously or what.
Half you guys want to die and come back as Aldo. Thats really sad. All you have to do is get special plastic surgery, kiddnap Aldo and take his place. Its so simple that any hollywood writer or janitor could have thought of it. In fact I am planning on writing the script getting paid a fortune (because I am not on strike) and buying my own super crazy dollar system with 5 snails and a 20 foot projection screen.

I will change that coffee table for a cow lether Minotti soon. I hope that will fix the reflectios issue. Remember that there is always the WIFE factor.Originally posted by wettouAldo this is an amazing set-up you have, I love the clean look to are you based in Europe? I noticed a Roche Bobois sofa

Hi AldoOriginally posted by Aldo
How are you doin ? Its been a while and you keep evolving
Me too.... We are like Sharks that need to keep moving forward or we will die :T
Of course 400's for the rears are overkill, but then again your whole setup is overkill so whats a few more amps ....
Do you have your HTM1D slanted upwards in the front by many degree's.
I am picking mine up tomorrow and since it is on the floor it has to angle up to work doesn't it. ??

Yes I understand the wife factor very well, but still it will make it much better, you might want to try side tables that you can put in front when not listeningOriginally posted by Aldo

I angled the HTM1D almost as much as I can, just in straight line to my ears, It sounds amazing! The dialogs in movies now are more comprehensible and clear.Originally posted by misterdoggyHi Aldo

If you can bring you HTM1D at the same level as the other two front speaker it will be even better. I use same three front and it is seamless.Originally posted by Aldo
May be it is time for an other Nautilus for the center.

The problem is that my screen is not audioclear.Originally posted by wettouIf you can bring you HTM1D at the same level as the other two front speaker it will be even better. I use same three front and it is seamless.

There is another effect that bothers me, the phantom image the Nautilus make psychologically feels like it is coming out of the HTM1D which is too low for that.Comment

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I came across Aldo's set-up and am just blown away! Incredible set-up! :T
Aldo, if you're still around, I hope you don't mind me asking some questions.
1. You mentioned almost a year ago that you were moving to a much larger apartment and will be setting up your system how you really want it. Just wanted to check on the progress and to see if you have any photos? :B
2. About the 802D's in the rear, I noticed you set them up according to THX specifications. I'm just wondering what the effect of setting them up so close together and in the center is? Assuming you are sitting in the center, is the effect closer to 6.1 or do you still get some sort of stereo imaging with these two speakers?
3. It may be just the angle the photo was taken, but it seems that the woofers of the rear 802D's fire directly into the back of the sofa. Does this produce any unwanted effects?
The reason I'm asking is because I was in a dilemma over getting full-range 804S for my surrounds because the way my room is set-up, the woofers would have fired directly into my sofa as well, but from the corners (I have a circular couch that stretches the width of my room). So instead I got the 805S as rears to overcome that "problem". Has it been a problem for your set-up?
Thanks Aldo and again, congratulations of your amazing set-up, it's is truly stunning!

Hi Aldo,
I think is not necessary.Then I will get the surround speakers to be 400 watts powered!Do you think it is a good idea, or it is not really necessary?
The surround powered with the CA2200 is more as enough -> 802D :T
well, I go have 4 pcs. 802D with 2 x CA2200 only for rear/rear back? is correct? de esta manera va muy bien, ya está super... :T ,en América del Sur no tiene problemas.. usted no tiene ningún problema
in Milano ü una altra cosa...caos come Parigi...con più smog!! :W
Bruce tu va a Turin trés souvent, le travial , les amis, la pizza???

Well, I purchased some new audio gear. The unit has CD, DTS Audio, DVD-Audio (including a full 5.1 discrete channels of audio) and XM Sat Radio. Plus a full Blue Tooth setup.
The best part about the new gear is the packaging and design/layout. I think it's awesome. Remember beauty is... -
I am new to the forum. Got to know this group while trying to find info on how to replace the foam liners in my old B&W 802 Nautilus and came across some wonderful pictures of the inside of a pair of 802s made by Race Car Driver and generously shared on a thread.

I have finally completed the Zaph Audio ZD5s. As you can see, the only part of the original design I kept was the driver spacing, baffle height, and I am within .5" of the baffle width, but used a 7/8" round over. I have no idea if they sound as good as the originals, but, to me, they sound... -
OK, I am exaggerating.... a lot, but I can not be the only one who has produced the same part several times.
I finally have ONE of the baffles done for my Minuets, after breaking SIX!!!! The stone is Antique Brown and is very dense and brittle.... a giant PIA to work with. I have at least...
