Great looking setup guys!!!

Makes me want to go out and get my new B&Ws...if only money grew on trees. Oh well at least I can see people's beautiful speakers and Rotel gear until then!

JohnAng, any reason you put the 1075 above the 1080? Just noticed that... and thought to myself, that's the first time I've seen the "bigger" amp on top of the smaller one. Looks good!

[sarsi]

Hey Mucke and JohnAng, excited to see folks with same B&W 700 series with Rotel gear setup. Nice setup . I used superspikes as well and did not find any different from spikes but one thing for sure it save my floor from having more scratches and cuts (left by the previous spikes and footers). I think those stuff are very practical replacement of spikes.

Here is mine

Rotel 1068,1080, 1095

Klipsch Chorus II, Academy, heresy II and quartets

sorry about the pix, the forum limited me to 100k per pix.

[chachi]

after going a bit psychotic this summer with upgrades, have ended up as follows:
rdd980, rsp1066, cambridge azur 640 dab, twin bridged 1070s and an rb993 to round it off :B



A silverstone lc16m cased htpc on top with a 12" touchscreen (and more than a bit of clutter) with a pair of BK xls200 subs along side standing guard

The base work gets done next week thankfully

[mickster1972]

My setup

Here's my gear... (not as fancy as some of yours, but it works for me):

Rotel RMB-1075 amp
Rotel RB 1050 amp
RSP-1068 pre/pro
Onkyo DV-CP802 "universal player" (CD/DVD/SACD/DVD-A)
Dish PVR HD receiver/tuner w/ harddrive (Model 921)
Mitsubishi 55" widescreen

By the way, the front left and right speakers shown in the cabinet are based on the great MTMs designed and posted by JonMarsh in the DIY speakerbuilding forum. These are incredible sounding speakers using the Dayton reference transducers and as much audiocap theta capacitors as one can afford. I highly recommended them to anyone looking for great sound from smallish speakers. :T

I don't know if you have a good photo editing package, but if next time you make the pics size of 640x480 and a resolution of 72dpi, you should be able to keep the pictures looking really good and keep them right under the 100K...

Here are some new image.

Very Nice Metallo!!! I really like the clean look and how you put your select favorite (I'm assuming) DVDs out on display like that. Very nice!!!

I'm wanting to get a Denon DVD-2910 or 3910...just haven't decided if that's the player for me or not.

So when are we all getting invited over to watch a movie? ha ha J/K.

[metallo]

Thank you for your comments, i have put Star Wars 1/2/3/4/5/6 and X-men 1/1,5/2 on the screen, and LOD extended on the bench. They are not my favourite movies but they have a nice cover

I can recommend 2910 very much, no problem with reading discs, fast in the menues, not much noise, fantastic picture and decent audio (2 ch), thats why i use the RSP-1068 to do the decoding, both for multi and stereo, with a better result.

Maybe i will invite you for a movie and some swedish meatballs

look nice metallo

how much was the screen (in euros)?

[metallo]

Thanks,

It is a "basic" Euroscreen, about 350 euros. Nothing fancy... Audio is the primary thing for me.

[TonyStarks]

Almost There!

Finally I can start enjoying the sound! Any feedback or ideas would be great. Hope you enojoy them.

Still a WIP, Carpet just got layed yesterday. Curtains should arrive this week (i hope)

[TonyStarks]

Almost There!

Here are some more. I also have the RT 1080 tuner but the pic came out blurry, I will post that up when the curtains get done.

Enjoy

[Fishy]

Tony, have you thought about getting the 1098's front panel swapped to a black front?

Fish

[TonyStarks]

Fish,

How do I go about doing that? In AUS we cant get the black finish 1098's cause thats what I was after when I was out buying 1. Is there a mod out there that allows you to swap the front panal? I should ring up my rotel dealer.

[Kevin D]

Classic Polk! I love it.. That CS1000p is a beast, my boss used ot have one.

Kevin D.

[TonyStarks]

Thanks Kevin,

Yeh gotta love the classic Polk its not B&W, but i love'em got really good balancing.

[Fishy]

Tony, you could buy the front panel and do it yourself or send it to Rotel and get them to do it.

Try your local dealer first, but if you dont get any luck with them email them at info@roteleurope.com

Fish

[PewterTA]

Tony, looks good, but can you take the rear speakers and actually put them behind the rear seats, them move the side surrounds back a little more.

It seems to me that the rear seats are pretty much pointless in the current configuration because they are sitting outside the surround field.

Just an observation.

Otherwise it looks really really really good!!!!!! Those seats look so comfortable... I'm jealous. :T

[TonyStarks]

Hey Fish,

I spoke to my dealer and he cant get anything like that, I might have to just e-mail them or ask another dealer.

Pewter,

Yeh with my CB speakers i dont have room to put behind as the chars are recliners. So thats why I have them placed there. I said the same thing to myself after i finshed building my platform, but i'll try and work something out.

[Fishy]

If you dont get any joy, try that email address or mail me and I'll see if I can order one and send it to you.

Fish

[TonyStarks]

Fish,

I just spoke to the Rotel Distributer here in Melbourne, and the guy I spoke to Kevin is going to make an enquuiry about it, he said that it would take uptp 12 weeks for delivery.
How much would the black front panel cost and shipping? Thanks for you're help on this, really appreciate it.

[wernert]

At last.. I have managed to complete my setup by adding a plasma screen this week.

My current set-up is:

RSP-1066
RMB-1075
RB-03 for center back
RDV-1060
Jamo Classic 8 in front
Jamo Classic 6 at rear
Boston VRC center
Jamo C160 center back
Jamo Sub
Epson TW10 projector

[Dmantis]

Man you don't see many people using Jamo's. I like there speakers. It's very nice to see em being used.

Your system looks fantastic. I loe the custom Rear center and Projector setup. Clever.

mantis

[Fishy]

With mantis on this one, I like the dual bracket.

What are those things either side of the screen?

Fish

[bzrk]

looks like some kind of art :P

[wernert]

The two ethnic dolls on either side of the plasma was bought in my hometown Paarl at an art deco shop. My wife just loved them.

Insofar the Jamo's are concerned. I have had them since my introduction to home theatre in early 2000. The rear surrounds are also floorstanding, but I have lifted them from the floor onto metal pedestals which a friend of mine made. I am looking at options to upgrade my front speakers. I am quite keen on the Boston VR range, seeing that my front center is a Boston, but I am also thinking of getting a RB-1080 for the fronts and using my RMB-1075 for the surrounds and center speakers.

[bzrk]

my new rotel gear is waiting for me in holland but i got my new projector today











half december i can show some real rotel pics

[PewterTA]

Not bad bzrk... I like the projector!

Though looking at your pictures (which it could be your camera, but might not be since the picture of the projector came out fine), but it looks like you have a Blue push to the image.

Might want to go in and adjust the blue and tone it down a little bit to create a more "white" white. I'm betting your grayscale is even tinted a slight bit blue.

Course like I said, could have been the camera.

[bzrk]

i think it is one of the "pic modes" as panasonics calls it. When i took the pictures i didnt even looked in the manual... so it might needs some finetuning yes

And i dont have a screen yet.. just projecting on the wall right now.

[moe32274]

I too am in awe - you guys are HUGE

Just curious - how many square feet is your home theater?

Thanks in advance.

Heres my Rotel Setup. It is only a Rotel 1095 at this point. But I am purchasing a RB 1090 in the next month or so to add to it. (anyone selling a all black unit feel free to contact me). I am unsure of adding a 1098, but for now the Rotels will carry the amp dutues. Speakers are Swans but upgrading those also to the new 6.2's and adding an F1 piece.
