[btf1980]

Thanks, loving the CM's as well.

[TommyV]

Killer setup. Which Pio is that?

[btf1980]

It's the 5010FD. It's simply breathtaking! Pioneer imo makes the best plasmas on the market.

Here is a picture (very bad quality, a photo from a photo that was taken 18 years ago) from that setup:

nice clean setup. have you looked into sanus for a rack?

Thanks!
About the amp, its really a lot more capable than one might think (without hearing it) and certainly goes loud enough to shake the neighbours. IMO, and limited experience, it drives the 802D's really well. OK, so I wouldn't say no to a pair of RB-1091's!

What tv is that? NIce setup.

Its a Samsung 52" LCD. I'd have to look for the model number if you wanted it. Great picture! Thanks also.

Hello,

Here is my (little) Rotel and B&W set-up.

Just, I am looking for a rack... (DIY ?)

Looks good Alex, another European whitewashed living room :T
Looks like you need to visit Ikea!

The Rotel has been a mainstay for six years. Two of the three front channels have died recently, unfortunately.

[asimov66]

how can it just die?

I have a pic of my system in an emal. How do I post it here? My system profile is-------------------------RF-7 Klipsch speakers with [Dean xover], Rotel RB 1090 power amp, Audio Research SP 11 pre amp [ tweaked with Herbies tube dampers] and a Sony DVP NS9000ES SACD player [upgraded to level 6 by Vacuum State]. Anti-cable for speaker wire and Cat Cables silver Kingcats for interconnects. Velodyne DLS 5000R sub. Belkin Pure AV 31D power conditioner. All components including amps are plugged directly into the power conditioner which is on a dedicated 20 amp hard wired outlet. 1 Alan Maher Power Enhancer (PE) and one PE are plugged into the Belkin PLC. 5 more PE are in non a/v circuits on same phase of sub panel. Eight ASC Tube/Bass Traps. All components are on 2 side by side heavy oak racks each 6 1/2 feet tall. Every component is isolated from its shelf by Mapleshade isoblocks with a 2" thick maple block/platform on the isoblock and large brass cones between blocks and components.Large and small brass weights are on top of all components. SACD player, SP 11 power supply and 1090 amp also have laminated steel VPI bricks on top. RF-7 speakers are on large brass cones on maple blocks which have large carpet piercing cones under the blocks Six Shakti stones are taped to my main power panel and sub panel to filter noise. Maher reference pwr cords and (IEC) hammond chokes are on SACD and RB 1090. Double hammond chokes wired into PLC. Highwire coils to be added to 3 non detachable pwr cords.

I hope this is pic you wanted to post, it is same one you sent me.

[zmanbands]

Thanks, Bill

Yes, that's the pic I wanted posted. Thanks Mr Hanna. The 2 Alan Maher reference power cords I installed yesterday, have taken my sound to a new level. Realism,realism,realism. And they take 30 days to fully break in with power left on for the SACD and RB1090 during that period. Boy this is fun when something works sooooh well. BTW the cords are I think, now $200 each. They were introduced at $175 when I got them.

[chrispy35]

What is that leafy green tweak on top of the left speaker? Do they make them for subs as well?

Chris P.

[zmanbands]

Hi crispy. They don't make them for subs specifically and I don't have room in my rack above the sub to try it. You might try Pier I and give it a try. BTW the reference cords are still $175 for the 5' which I have. Link http://alanmaherdesigns.com/RPC.aspx

[wkhanna]

An unknown fact to all but me, Zman’s wife is responsible for 60% of all ‘Tweaks’ on the market today.

[Fishy]

Now thats one nice clean setup. Sweet rack.

[Blindamood]

But do you realize you still have a dual-cassette boombox in there...? :W

[zmanbands]

Yes. That's part of the away from home burgular alarm.

Rotel, etc in a cabinet

Not wanting to see exposed in the living rooom assorted harnesses, wires and stuff, I designed and had built an oak cabinet to place all my HT components. Desigend as 3 modules resting on small rollers I can easily get to the backs of everything.

Since the room was never designed with audio in mind, Windows on one side, the formal dinning room on the other, then a fire place on the south wall, I had to place all front main, front surround, center speaker and one subwoofer speakers in the cabinet. The rear surround and other speakers are located adjacent to the fireplace. No place for 7.1. Oh well, at age 70, my hearing's not as acute....







The Rotel, such a sweet sound, so many available inputs!

[TommyV]

woohoo nice. Any rears? Is that a 50" or 60"?

[ICEMAN70]

woohoo nice. Any rears? Is that a 50" or 60"?

The TV is the Pioneer 5010HD.. It is the 50" model. The rear speakers are Paradigm inwall mounted on the vaulted ceiling.

The room is not finished yet. The plasma will be mounted on the wall. The stand is just a old one i am using right now.

The paradigms studio 60's actually are sold to my parents. I just upgraded my speakers and now waiting for the Paradigm Signature S6's to come in..

Will keep you guy's posted when the room is 100% finished..

cheers,

[ICEMAN70]

Here are the speakers mounted in the vaulted ceiling. Also couple pictures of Rotel RDV 1040 in action. Not bad.. :T

Hello everyone. My gears are not exclusively Rotel, but here they are. The Rotel amp is the latest addition to my system, and I'm very satisfied with its performance.

V Nice!

Can you tell us about your TurnTable?

[Mig17]

I can't see what is your processor pairing wth Rotel 1085 :roll:
Jmlab fronts ? Which models? :T

You can't see my processor because I don't have one. :W Linn Unidisk SC, my digital front end, decodes the multi channel signals and provides variable level output. It's designed to drive the power amps directly, which I did in my setup. The speakers in the pictures are Focal Electra 1037BE and Chorus CC800V center, both from JM Labs as you have noticed.

[Mig17]

I have JMlab cobalts 800CC driven by Rotel 1070

Electra 1037 must be expensive

MoltenLava
Love your setup! are you more HT or music?

[MoltenLava]

Thanks yourtoys7. This set up is for 95% music with occasional concert DVD. Organically grown from a two channel music system, although these days I tend to play MCH recordings more.

Interesting combo Levinson with Focal Utopia Be and Rotel?
No quite the same league, nice set up:T

[AlexDSL]

Behind Enemy Lines?

Yes ! :T

[Mig17]

Did you sell your Klisph ?

MoltenLava
Love your setup! are you more HT or music?

[style]

Hallo MoltenLava,

I like the Focal speakers... :T

Just a question ..
the Focal tell me that after a long listening become some "heavy" compard with the B&W...

please your opinion.

The MarkLevinson look good and sound great... but you can find spare parts/repair parts (if you have problems??)
--> a friend have a problem the find a repair parts for you powerampli 4 year old!!! ( and so one power ampli in Switzerland is not inexpensive....)

greetings style
